I'm sure it's been pointed out, but having to go through the whole game then having to return to earlier levels on the first island is really petty of the first game.

InspectorSands posted:The four finger issue in Japan goes even deeper than it being an unlucky number, and relates to an old caste system and those at the bottom, the burakumin. Because blood is taboo and impure in Buddhism, any workers in such jobs were seen as tainted and were ostracized and discriminated against. I'm sure you can think of a few, like executioners, butchers, tanners, etc. Due to the nature of such jobs where you use your hands close to sharp objects meant to cut flesh and bone, accidentally chopping off a finger wasn't too uncommon - "four" was one word one could use to describe the burakumin, perhaps because of the image that they were four fingered or because you could use a hand symbol with your thumb tucked behind your hand and the fingers pointing down to refer to them as well. A four legged animal, you see. Though the caste system is gone, the burakumin descendants still face discrimination even today due to those old beliefs that their whole bloodline is basically tainted by the impurities. I seem to recall that Oddworld games were adjusted because of this phenomenon, too.

So, hang on, if you don't have all the coloured crystals in that level, do you... Just encounter a screen and there's no platform to go on? Or is the last gem you collect the first platform you can go on?

Yeah, I think I said it before, but the idea of having to do a level multiple times and not because you messed up in order to get everything kinda rubs me the wrong way.

The little animation extras are very fun.

It obviously isn't very exciting, but I do appreciate the racing sections not being rubberbanded.

...why the hell did it take me this long to realize N. Gin is supposed to sound like Peter Lorre? It's not subtle...
