I got the shine everyone. It’s sucked a whole bunch. In my attempts to hop onto the dock more strange things happened in addition to the clip I shared earlier. One time I got stuck on the face of the dock while still in the water, the blooper was acting like it was swimming forward but I was glued to the dock. Another time I got switched to another blooper which then swim straight out, similar to my earlier clip, but this time we went thru the yellow out of bounds line and just zoomed off into the ocean. I couldn’t steer and we rode out for 5-10 seconds and then crashed into nothing.

Can’t wait to see what else Sunshine has in store for me!

Oh, the places you will go! Later levels are even more unfinished than Rocco Harbor.

Something I don't think the game ever tells you is the different-colored bloopers have different stats, green has the best handling, purple has the highest speed, yellow's in the middle, BUT if you hold forward on the stick all three blooper move the same speed so there's no reason not to use green ever

So the purple one does not have the highest speed?

My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
The purple one is stuck at top speed. But yeah the other 2 can reach it just by pushing up on the stick, making the Green one is the best. It's the one you have the most control over if you need to make sharp turns or need to slow down.

Well I wasn't able to preorder a Super Switch but I did preorder Phantasy Star 5 for the Super Switch so I guess that's cool.

I am a spectacularly bad poster and everyone in the Schadenfreude thread hates my guts.
I read all the posts complaining about those blooper shines and heartily lolled when I easily completed it while I was 100%ing Sunshine in the collection last year. Then earlier this year I went to stay with my sister and her girlfriend who I had lent my old Wii with my Gamecube games to. Sister's GF asked me to complete a couple of the tricky shines on Sunshine, including the blooper shine, for her. I (probably metaphorically) cracked my knuckles and told her about the dumb people online who found it hard, unlike me, and then proceeded to get ruined by it for half an hour suffering all of the pratfalls and mishaps I'd seen itt. In my defence playing it on a small TV with poo poo Wii resolution made it a lot more difficult to see where the gently caress I was going.

At least I managed to restore some credibility by quickly dealing with the Pinna Park Bowser Ride, Lily Pad Red Coin Shine and somehow doing the Pachinko Shine first time.

What's happening is that every Switch Pro rumor has been true. The Nintendo handheld team, trained for two decades on iterating the DS, has done nothing but make weird Switch variants since 2017. None of them have been suitable for release because they all have folders.

they're just doing what the Lost writing team did: every time someone makes an accurate prediction, they have to juke things around to keep it fresh and surprising. if those leakers had just kept their mouths shut we would've had the Super Switch back in 2015!

Didn't see a mention of this in the last few pages, but think I'm going to pick up Overboard, sounds really cool!

Basically a reverse Agatha Christie murder mystery - you're on a ship and murdered your husband, and are trying to get away with it.

By the 80 Days people, Inkle. Sounds like it has a lot in common, with finding different paths through the game etc.

Currently $12.74 with the launch discount.

The original hoaxer based his on the public patents that were available at the time.
