The Virtual Console re-releases of StarTropics has a clever way of getting around the "you need the instruction manual to get past this part" ending of Chapter 4. If you go to the "how to play" section of the game, there's a section that simulates the part where you have to dip the letter in water.

There's a ship in our way and we need to get it out of the way. It is somewhat unclear to me how what we do removes the ship but I'm sure it'd make sense to me if I hade more of an imagination. Nintendo Power Above you get to see the Nintendo Game Counselor profiles found at the bottom of two of the pages of the Nintendo Game Counselor Corner. Please tell me which one is your favorite Game Counselor. Just going by taste in games it's probably Gayle, Josh or John, but boy am I torn.

Gayle is the only one who doesn't have some kind of outdoor sports-type hobby and instead she lists 'Dragon Models' as a hobby so that makes her the best, obviously.

Kind of weird how this chapter, short though it was, had a decent amount of unique music in it.

Oh hey, now we're past where I stopped playing because I got bored.

I'd like to give my man Chad some cred for having his favorite game be a mapgame before mapgames were even a thing

So this episode confirms the conspiracy theory that the Moai were not put on Easter Island(ola) by aliens, but that they are themselves the aliens???

Am I the only one that got a chuckle when reading that they put the apple in for... flavour?

I guess when you've already got a plot driving you they can just put whatever jokes strike their fancy into the world map.

I suppose Mike never had the history channel, so when his uncle starts talking about aliens and magic cubes he figures there might be something to it.

Okay, so we found our uncle. Time to kick some alien butt! The proper Nintendo Power walkthrough ends after finding Dr. J, so no more of that, unfortunately. The remaining Nintedo Power Coverage, found below, isn't quite as comprehensive. Not that the actual walkthrough was worth too much by modern standards. But below is what's left.

Man, we are giving and taking tremendous amounts of damage. What's a potion heal now, like one hit?

This is the final episode. Do you still got bananas in your ears? Be sure to get them out by the end of this post to make sure you hear my announcement about the Startropics 2 stream(s) I'll be doing. (pictured above, image I wanted to use as an end card to the previous video but I forgot to record audio to go along with it and couldn't be bothered to do that after already rendering the video) As mentioned at the start of the post I will be streaming Startropics 2: Zoda's Revenge On my twitch. I'll be doing so on Saturday, 12th August at 21:00 BST (GMT+1) / 15:00 GDT (GMT-5) click here to see what this means in your local time. I don't know if I'll beat the entire game in one sitting, I kind of doubt it but it's not impossible. However, if I don't manage to play a video game for five hours straight I will play through the rest of the game another time. I will announce when I go live in this thread. As well as probably on twitter and wherever I can justify it.

Regarding the "bananas in your ears" thing, if that was any sort of reference it went straight over the head of 13-year-old me at the time. I think it was just a setting-appropriate running gag the writers came up with.

It's weird that the shooting star and supernova never featured in those slides. I guess since they're fantastic weapons in the first place they didn't really have an idea how Mike would hold them without spiking/burning his hand.

The stream is already live but we'll begin in ten-ish minutes. Come hop on in! https://www.twitch.tv/iggy_igsen E: And done! Here's the VOD (No sound at the start for some reason, it sets in in time for gameplay, though). I'll also slice it into smaller chunks for easier viewing at some point sooner or later but if you wanna watch the whole thing now but couldn't be there at the time the VOD's the way.
