I remember hearing PJ talk about how this game is just not a very good run because of simulation mode.

does anyone actually like watching mario kart games what a snoozer

Super late response, but there was a Super Mario Kart race in this year's AGDQ that was really fun to watch, mainly because it was so unbelievably close even to the finish.

Huh, that's ActRaiser? I never played it, but I remember it looking different. Guess I was confusing it with another game.

And if it's not a close race, they're the sort of games that live and die on their commentary.

There's also ActRaiser 2 which you might be remembering in its place.

There is another half they aren't playing, a SimCity/Black and White hybrid town building mode.

There's also a world-building part to this game that is completely skipped in this particular mode, so you might not be.

Oh yeah, that's it! When the game was featured in magazines way back when, they were almost always showing that mode.

I liked Ed, Edd and Eddy. Otherwise it was pretty forgettable, unfortunately. Not really Awful games, just mediocre ones.

... Well huh. Maybe Freedom Planet isn't a Sonic fangame so much as a Sparkster fangame? At least, in Lilac mode. Health bar, super meter, wall-bounce air dash, anachronistic high tech + old world setting...

They did it to help even out the times with Actraiser where they didn't shut off the timer until a full minute after the game was over.

I had no idea the Blues song from Megaman 3 was that long. You only get to hear like the first 30 seconds of it in the actual game.

It's weird that the credits doesn't play the full theme (there's another ten seconds or so after it cuts) but it's kind of appropriate considering the whistle intro also gets cut off before it ends.
