Ugh does the sky-skybox stick around? I was hoping maybe as we progressed the levels would move deeper into space... That's really upsetting to me.

The sky changes per galaxy. Heck, sometimes the sky changes per-planet, within a galaxy.

Does this game require you to collect the little star chunks throughout the game? Like, do they gate you with it? If so, how badly?

I ask because they look kind of annoying to pick up and I won't if I don't have to, and I don't think their use has been covered so far other than throwing them at dudes.

I also ask because I just bought this game because of this LP!

The local GameStop had only one copy, used, and it didn't have the case so I was like cya later shitlords, walked down the strip to Target and got it brand new for $50 :tipshat:

Thanks, 'betus!

It's really not at all hard to grab star bits.

I found having cutscenes more than 10 seconds long break up my gameplay annoying, because I find it utterly impossible to take a story seriously in mario (if it was written like a comedy I might have, but it was a little too serious for a universe involving force-fed starpeople). Stuff like the storybook which was optional I was a-ok with though.

And I will weep when Miyamoto steps down. WEEP.

Have you played Paper Mario?

Cosmic Cove Galaxy has a doomsday device on the planet for some reason, and Mario just casually ground pounds on it to destroy millions of sear creatures.

Well, to be fair, the water isn't frozen solid. Just the surface. It's more like dozens of dead sea creatures.

The Z button is the button nobody tested. You can cancel pretty much all actions with it, and you can break the game with it. Like, if you mash Z when you have fireballs, this happens:

Based on language that's been used in Diabetus' actual videos by him and his commentators for future things it's probably best to not post things like that.

That was the funniest video in the entire LP though. Except for maybe the one with A Wooden Palisade and Ambisagrus, and one of the people told that story about a senior slapping them in the rear end while naked with a towel and calling them gay.

Explain. Now. I need to know

I'm surprised that water doesn't put out Speed Yoshi. Then again, it doesn't really do much when you've been hot peppered, does it?

Capsaicin (the active ingredient in most if not all hot peppers) is an oil-like compound, making water ineffective. You're better off using something oil-based to wash it out such as vegetable oil. Casein is also a good detergent for it, making cold milk a much more effective and appetizing alternative.

And if you gave the pepper power up to squawks from donkey kong it would have no effect. As bids do not have Capsaicin receptors. :eng101:

That's a big part of why spicy peppers thrive in the first place! More specifically, a part of why the attribute of spiciness is favored by natural selection. Using capsaicin to ward off non-avian animals makes it more likely that birds will eat the the peppers and poop out the seeds within. Birds do a lot more travelling a lot quicker than most other animals and that makes them ideal for spreading your progeny. If you're a plant anyway.

The thing about nature is that it all comes back around to poop. We call it the circle of life because it helps us avoid facing the fact that we will all be poop one day, and also everything that we eat was poop once.

What Diabeetus didn't show off is that once the timer in the speed run levels goes under 10 seconds, the bomb collar fastened around Mario's neck begins to beep louder and louder with each passing second.

Daisy was never in smash bros. I can't really think of any ability she would have to differentiate her from peach. Other than maybe shooting lasers out of that third eye.

It looks like Rosalina's gameplay in SSB is mainly going to revolve around summoning lumas and using them as a second character. Desynching the Ice Climbers and using them to attack off the heels of the other's hits was a popular strategy among competitive Brawl players, so that should be pretty interesting. Also the reveal trailer featured her bending squirtle's water jet around her, so you can count on a couple of cool space-type moves.

Dark Souls lacks the abilities to unlock; sure you can buy spells and stuff which are nice but they're totally optional and mostly different variations on 'shoot thing wot kills dudes'. Dark Souls is a brilliant game but it's not the same kind of 'adventure' that Banjo-Kazooie is and certainly doesn't hit the same notes.

Like at no point in Dark Souls did I open a chest, get a new thing I could do and then go "Oh poo poo now I know what all those wierd things I kept seeing are for."

I recently finished Batman: Arkham asylum and it seems to fit the bill, strange though it may sound. First you get the explosive gel which allows you to break through fragile walls. Then you get the batclaw which lets you pull down vents that are above ground level, and so on.

If you could live as many lives as you wanted and never had to die permanently unless you desired to do so, but you had to buy and operate a fax machine for your house in order to do it, would you? I dunno if I would want to buy a fax machine that I'd only use for one thing.
