 Kirby: Star Allies It’s a Kirby game! Everyone loves Kirby! Kirby is one of Nintendo’s flagship franchises, featuring an adorable pink circle with shoes and a world-destroying appetite. By their nature, Kirby games are not designed to be particularly difficult – they’re all pretty chill, relaxing platformers that don’t ask the player for much. What challenge Kirby titles have is typically reserved for the postgame. Kirby: Star Allies innovates the Kirby formula by returning some of the most popular features from previous titles, including the input commands from Kirby: Super Star and the Power Combos from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Additionally, this game is all about being sociable and having friends to play with: up to four friends can play Kirby: Star Allies at once, each player having just a little bit less agency than whichever player is using Kirby. Also, any player that is not Kirby can play as some of Kirby’s most familiar faces! Hand the controller to a friend, and they can play classic characters like King Dedede, or Meta Knight, or even the villain Marx from Kirby: Super Star! This game’s main goal is to just have a good time, and if that means having a bit of fanservice, well, why not? The LP: My good friend Olive Branch was visiting me for the week in mid-August, and one of the things we did while he was visiting was sit down and blitz through this game, front to back. Which means that all these videos are pre-recorded, and it was all blind, so it’s not exactly a skilful run (as much as such a thing can exist for a Kirby game). On the downside, that means this isn’t going to be too much of a Let Us Play, considering we can’t exactly have a lot of community involvement in a series of videos that are already completed. But on the upside, since every video is already recorded and encoded, that means I won’t have a reason to slack off on an update schedule! I’m thinking a video every two days ought to be plenty. This is very much just meant to be a casual, laid-back, low-effort LP that you can turn on and listen to in the background while you do something else. Just chill and listen to two friends make bad jokes, and maybe tab back in to look at some pretty visuals once in a while.

Update: Episode 13: Thword SatansOnion posted:wait, does the Mirror ability not show up in this game? That was one of my favorites in the SNES/DS Super Star games Dark Meta Knight plays somewhat similarly to the Mirror ability, but other than him, no, unfortunately, it doesn't.

Unfortunately, as of the recording, it wasn't quite as topical as it would be today, what with weed being legal in Canada now. We could use that kind of wit in our LPs, though. You're hired.

Update: Episode 22: This Is What You Wanted I have since had Nutella. It's alright. It's more of a once-in-a-while treat than something I'd buy a jar of to spread on stuff, like peanut butter.

Glazius posted:World of Light dumped a whole new bunch of grist in the meme mill. I only played through it once more after this recording, using Marx. I'm assuming the regular companions (Gim, Bugzzy, Driblee, etc) all have the same layouts, but Marx's adventure was markedly different: the puzzles were designed very specifically around him and his abilities, and how the elements, such as fire or electricity, would work with how he operates. As well, a number of his sections were lifted wholesale straight from Kirby Super Star, but given the HD treatment. This also played for the final boss. So, I'd imagine that every run is different for the Dream Partners. Which is an awful lot of effort and detail for something that isn't part of the main game! It adds quite a lot of replay value, imo.

Update: Episode 27: A Game That We Did Need I'm interested in hearing your opinion. Was there any game produced between now and 2010 that you would consider a necessity to gaming culture? A game that, without it, the gaming landscape would look significantly different today?

Update: Episode 32 - FINALE: One More Time Thank you for sticking with us through this LP! It was nice to do something a little more casual and low-effort than my usual stuff. I don't know when my next LP will be, but I have an idea on what I'd like to do, so that's a start. Hope to see you then!
