Slimy Spring Galaxy has far less slime and fewer springs than I expected. At least they didn't make you use that annoying spring power-up here.

Imagine if it actually featured the spring "powerup" on slimy floors with ice physics. Ugh.

To add some fuel to the Yoshi debate: Nintendo has been making characters sound objectively terrible for a while now. They started with Yoshi on the N64. Then when Rare got bought by Microsoft they made Donkey Kong sound like a retard that got kicked in the head. And don't forget about Toad who went from just having a high-pitched voice that wasn't too obnoxious, went to a high-pitched raspy voice that is just made to annoy.
And now the bosses in their games all sound that way. For instance, the boss of Gusty Gardens Galaxy in Galaxy 1 (the giant mole Diabetus mentioned) just uses Donkey Kong's soundclips.

Now that you mention it Toad does have this smoker voice thing going on in Super Mario 3D World, yeah.

Also I'm amazed that this galaxy didn't include the spring powerup anywhere.

It's a spring, you guys.

Like, a little pool of water. Except it's a big pool of water. And more of a tunnel than a pool.

But still. Spring. Not...spring.

Ahhhh, ok. It threw me because the whole place is underwater and it does not look like what I imagine a spring to be in my head.

Reusing sound clips isn't something new for Nintendo- Wario Land borrowed a lot of sound effects from Metroid II.

I spent so much time on the Rolling Lane star, grinding for Star Bits. Once I got the hang of the stage it's the fastest place I found to get lots of them. I think I like it? It might also be Stockholm Syndrome at this point.
That's really the best place to grind for star bits, especially for unlocking the true final level (the Perfect Run in the Grandmaster Galaxy) where you need 9999 star bits.

I wasn't complaining about reusing sounds. I was complaining about them using terrible sounds.
Reusing stuff is a very important thing to do to keep costs down, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve a scolding for using such terrible sounds in the first place.

Something about this feels kinda hinky
The use of "canon" to refer to 'the works that count' dates back to the leaders of the early Christian church deciding which books would officially be part of the bible and which would be considered apocryphal. The word turned toward its modern use when Holmes scholars tried to straighten out the often-contradictory stories into a consistent whole. Of course FF7 changed everything, so those don't really count.

And then there were levels of canon depending on whether George Lucas actually called something canon or not, because he is the God of all things canon.

The Theorem of Canon, as laid out by the great scientist-saints Cassandra Claire and her little friend Marnie, runs thus:

There are three types of canon:
  • Canon: These are things that happened in the official story. They are 100% inconsequential.
  • My Headcanon: Things I think would be really cool if they happened. I want them to be true so hard, they are! The author's input is, if anything, an obnoxious buzzing in the world's ear. This is the only truth the world need ever know.
  • Other Peoples' Headcanons: Things other people think would be really cool if they happened. These are vile heresies of the darkest kind. There must be a purge. Only when the world is clean may I rest.

Daisy was never in smash bros. I can't really think of any ability she would have to differentiate her from peach. Other than maybe shooting lasers out of that third eye.
