Yeah, Cloud Cuckooland feels like Rare had a bunch of test assets, or a level that got scrapped early, and everything was stitched together into this. Not my fav for sure. Also, is Canary Mary Revengeance the worst button-mashing minigame in the entire N64 library?

A quick bit of googling suggests that the key to keeping up with Mary is how rhythmically you mash, not your speed. Mashing faster makes you go faster, but she rubber bands so hard that it's not worth going all out until the end of the race.

Oh good, you've found the absolute worst level in the game.

I want to know how badly is Artix's tongue doing after the amount of biting it must have been doing in order to keep silent about how to access the move. I'm pretty sure Argate looked at that hole multiple times and never noticed it.

I'm fairly sure you actually made that boss more difficult that it had to be with the homing eggs cheat. If I remember right from kid me, that cheat applies to some enemy projectiles as well as your own. It's been a long, long time so I could be wrong, but I definitely remember that from my N64 days.

This video really demonstrates the worst thing about the world. It's not the lolrandom theme, it's the layout. It's a giant hub cave with eleven billion spokes coming off it and all of exits are basically identical looking with only some color shading to help identify them. Even with three people's eyeballs and memories on it y'all are struggling to remember which exit goes where.

The way I understood the safe isn't that he's forgotten the combination so he can't punch it into himself, it's that he forgot the combination so he won't even know if you guess right. That's why you have to do the scavenger hunt, to get a third party to remind him what it is. Also pronouncing fake mumbo's name with a hard G is very kind. minge means vagina Dabir fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Jul 26, 2023 |

I swear it looked like after losing to him a bunch, Mingy Jongo just started having six months of downtime after every attack instead of chaining off blasts. Probably as a sanity measure. (Comment on this video, tagged only because this is right under the update.)

The ice cube couple are (presumably) a reference to the 1976 British sitcom George and Mildred Thanks, Rare.

IMO, Cloud Cuckooland feels breezy because you have every move in the game by the time you get there, and as such you can do the whole thing in one visit

It's also just small. For how terribly confusing the main cave's exits are, that cave is the bulk of the level space. It's another wheel and spokes design except all the spokes are tiny little islands that have pretty much nothing on them. Most of them don't even have a room you can walk around in and just have a single mini game.

For me Cloud Cuckooland was the last world I visited, and the relative emptiness of the space, with everything so spread out, combined with the fact that it was almost endgame, filled me with a sense of melancholy. I was a troubled ten-year-old, apparently.

And getting lost on the way. It's perhaps the most complex level for split-up interactions, really letting the individual characters shine and making it a challenge to pave routes for them, but I don't really like it because most of it is just running in circles in a random assortment of sky islands + the central cave over and over and over again. Grunty Industries has similar layers of hoops to jump through, but imo it's much more interesting, with less of a focus on splitting up and more on unlocking various shortcuts, traversal routes and so on, which can be done first, and then you can do a clean sweep; it's much more tightly designed and I hope Argate ends up liking it more than his co-commentators! also hi i finally caught up to the videos, left some YT comments on the way to not clog up the thread

I am a Grunty Industries defender but I do agree that it feels more climactic just because of the theming, difficulty, and such, even if Cloud Cuckooland has the cool "look down and see the hub world" skybox. I also never really had much of an issue navigating the whole deal because I was too into the entire idea, I just liked walking around. That said, the code you used to remove the antialiasing makes this level look so bad.

You know, talking about how grunty industries is a pain in the rear end to navigate right after talking about how cloud cookooland is a pain in the rear end to navigate and bringing up terrydactyland (which is also a pain in the rear end to navigate) made me think. The back half of this game is a pain in the rear end to navigate.
