Grave? Shovel! Let's go.

The handstand into huge backflip is neat.

Yeah I recall Earthworm Jim being super expensive at the time. It was something like $80-90 CAD.

Ocarina of Time was pretty good (especially the water temple) but Majora's Mask is absolutely incredible

DK94 let Mario backflip and do a handstand and that's why it's the best game.

I must've beaten that start to finish like at leads half a dozen times. The controls and platforming just felt so solid.

Kinda nuts to consider that might be the prototype for his Mario 64 moveset.

I think because the whole NSO app is rated as a whole, the highest rated game applies to every game

I've only played DK '94 properly once. I mean, I own it, but I've only ever rented a SGB. But even in B&W it's a fantastic game.

Has DK '94 ever been re-released with proper SGB emulation? Does that even exist in community emulators?

Windwaker is 100% water, and God is everywhere therefore the world is a temple.

I'm pretty sure Street Fighter II was $110 CAD, so my parents said I could have Mortal Kombat because it was cheaper at $90 or something.

But then they returned it after seeing how violent it was and bought me Super Mario All Stars.

I get this, but it's weird how Kirby is rated T because you kill people in Winback.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I did use a guide so I can see how it would have been annoying finding all the keys without it. I've also been heavily abusing save states which was great for the dungeons where you'd get kicked out back to the entrance

Call me a square, but I don't think newborn infants should be allowed to play Kirby. They'll start emulating him, for example trying to swallow things or inflating themselves to double size and floating around the room. Lawsuit city!

In Planet Robobot (the best Kirby) he is equally pissed in both regions.
