I always like the ancient levels. In every game they tend to be the best part of the whole run and this continues on that tradition.

Dareon posted:I like that the train had Wario's moustache on the front. Makes no sense, but then the Wario games have never been entirely consistent, as you can see from this timeline I have pieced together from developer's blog posts and homeless man ramblings. I think that's actually supposed to be the Shake King's crooked smile.  It does look very similar to Wario's 'stache though. Perhaps this was a conscious design choice to show that they're Not So Different.  dijon du jour posted:Neither you just get temporarily smushed in a humorous fashion and I've been waiting for JordanKai to show it off the whole LP.

JordanKai posted:Oh come on now, you're going to tell me the Wreck Train music doesn't at least remind you a little of the Indiana Jones theme song? Well, of course, because Indiana Jones is a pastiche of old 1930s adventure serials. But I'm not sure it's really fair to give credit to the thing referencing something than crediting the original reference it's referencing. Too many layers of redirection.

I read a while ago on some fansite that the Shake King was actually homage to one of Wario's earlier concept designs. I don't know how true this is and my sources are lacking, but the King's smile/Wario's 'stache comparison reminded me of it. The train music doesn't sound so Indiana Jones-ish as it does "adventurous", or like during some fast-paced segment from a '90's action flick. Regardless, I love it.

Whoa, sounds like someone needs to get some new friends. <  >It's okay, though. Just looking at Amazon right now you can get the game for only $5 if you're still interested!

This is a pretty fantastic LP to a game I rented but never completed or bought (to my everlasting shame  ) Keep up the good work, I never got past where you are in this video- Rogers Canada had killer late fees.

Things that Wario and Wolverine have in common: - They both have names that start with W. - They both have a propensity for the yellow costumes. - They both have wicked sick facial hair. - They both appear in fighting games.

I'd like to think that deep down Wario has a heart of solid gold, it's just that unless he's distracting himself with the conquest of collecting other valuables he'd be trying to rip it out so he can place it on his trophy shelf The guy just hears the world "gold" and nothing can stop him NoodleBox fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Aug 3, 2014 |

JordanKai Ep.8 - 18:57 posted:You wouldn't be able to do these phases correctly... like just off of reaction. You pretty much have to know what's gonna happen, if you don't want to get hurt. You started this LP on June 20th, 2014 and posted this video on August 2nd, 2014. That means I can safely assume you've been playing video games for about two weeks in your entire life. Allow me to give you some ProtipsTM from a veteran video gamer such as myself: Protip posted:If a boss can push or pull you, he will, at some point in the fight, try to push or pull you into a wall that will hurt you. If there are no walls available, the boss will make some before pushing or pulling you.

Actually now that I think of it. You're supposed to grab the floor to not go backwards right? What's stopping you from doing that when "poo poo gets real" and he tries to push and pull you towards the spikey roots?

Wario actually does have something of an origin story! It came in the form of the Super Mario Adventures comic that ran in Nintendo Power in the early 90's. The tl;dr version is that Mario is Wario's cousin and was a bully to Wario as a kid, and Wario is bitter about it. That's it. That's the whole story.

But if you don't grab a mook they'll all blow into the vines and die so you can't hit him.

You have to hold onto a Bandenero during that section, so I'm guessing you can't grab the ground.

Waluigi is Wario's hypercompetent but incredibly stupid sidekick whose plans are constantly ruined by Wario's stupidity. No more story is neccessary; this is the goddamn Mushroom Kingdom poo poo don't need an explanation it just is.

I'm just saying that somebody actually thought of this and made a comic out of it, because they felt that, for some reason, Wario's story was not only one that needed to exist, but needed to be told.

COOL FACTS TIME: The boss of World 4 is only called Scumflower in the PAL version of the game. In every other version he is called Bloomsday instead. This change was made because Bloomsday is also the name of an Irish holiday. Nintendo of Europe didn't want to associate an enemy with something so nice!

In Wario's case it was Mario acting out of ignorance rather than actually being a jerk.   The full strip is at http://www.superluigibros.com/mario-vs-wario-comic-issue-1, as well as the second issue.
