Bro, I’m seriously blown away by how this turned out! The whole concept of Combo Moves is next level-it’s got me hyped and legit salivating! The Mesopas region is a masterpiece in the making, and I can’t wait to see what’s next. Keep this heat coming, I’m hooked!

Aaaaah, so glad to finally have this one out.

I always have to remind myself that Babylon Garden isn't even really a garden or a city... or at least it wasn't initially. Babylon Garden was once a spaceship named the devine wings, and their engine units were so powerful that having them be present on the ship would literally cause a black hole while each individual engine unit has the power to creat small black holes and disrupt gravitational polarity these engine units are known as rhe Arks of the Cosmos It stated they came to earth and scattered their engine units, and they were always wishing to go back home. Whatever kind of technology the Babylonias created was truly some of the most advanced and powerful ancient tech in the series nearly on par with the ancients themselves and since Babylon Garden is actually the Devine Wings space ship (also known as Astral Babylon as the track name suggest in srzg and as the Sonic Wiki identifies it as) that is how they probably escaped their home planet and ended up on earth.

I know it's only been a year, but seeing the floating and broken statues again are giving me chills. Wow! The riples on the ground when the time magic catches the Immortals. Oh that's impressive, it's acting like their on a liquid surface. Part of me wishes this effect happens in more of the rooms. Zombies want to get up, okay time to send them back to sleep. Plus we'll do the same for those hyenas with human faces. Yay Wak-Wak trees and Fariba. It's great to see them again. First rift closed and the location is fixed. Oh wait this room had multiple of them. It'd going to be a great adventure exploring this place again. Finding treasures and assisting the fun characters on Mount Qaf. Although it looks like times up for this episode, I really want to watch more, but I think I need to take it slow.

Time to revisit Sargon and it's nice to be back. I almost forgot the game had a variation of "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this" I am very excited to see It's a health potion since Sargon already has swords. Plus loving the moments of teamwork before it completely becomes a solo adventure. The scene in the throne room feels like it holds so many nods to future events It's got me thinking, how did I miss this? I'm so excited to rewatch this game. Oh flip I just noticed an interesting detail the shape of the handle almost has a avian look to it. Hm! Part of me wonders if Sargon could've used his Athra Surge against the general, would the battle have been over a lot faster. With each parry and all the damage you did any final attack would've been powerful. The music and art for the backgrounds plus the characters it's just so impressive. I can't wait to see more details I missed the first time through. Plus it has me hoping we'll get to see Sargon in another game soon.

True Arena time! With Kirby using Mecha there's one line that's too perfect here. *Bandanna Dee dressed as a referee appears calling out,* "Metabot... I mean True Arena, Robattle!" My brother used to watch Metabots so this is something that popped up as a fun opening. Followed by some silly commentary. Goriath EX: Blasted away Fatty Puffer EX: Fried fish Mr Dooter EX: Returned to his lamp Whispy Woods EX: Well pruned and quieted EX mini boss rush: Not even a challenge Multiple Sphere Doomers: Kaboom! Metal General EX: Fell before Mecha Kirby's might Grand Doomer EX: Changed into fire works Landia EX: Not even channeling their inner Spyro saved them Rampaging Doomers: A quartet of Vader nos echoes into the void Hydriath: Uh oh, this Sea Monkey won, but this was only the first try. HR-D3: Oh man, robot bosses just keep thinking they will win. Sorry, but you don't have enough star power and cake enchantments here. That belongs to Kirby and his friends. Although this foe is putting up a bigger fight. Lor EX & Magolor: Nice new coat of paint, but Kirby and Landia are the champions here Magolor EX: Is outta here. Galacta Knight: If only we could copy his move set that would be fun to see. However once again Kirby is the better Star Warrior! Plus take that Galacta we have more items to assist us. You may have bouncing energy blades, but Kirby is still going to win. Master Crown; All Whispys will know the might of Kirby. Even if this one has a crown, Kirby is our king. Okay, this round to you tree, but this was only a first try against this foe as Kirby. Mr Dooter EX: You maybe a genie, but Kirby is your monkey's paw. Fatty Puffer EX: Dramatic deflation Metal General EX: Lost all his points Goriath EX: No bananas for you monkey. Whispy Woods EX: Timb... hey you sniped my joke, but seriously only the Deku Tree would be safe from Kirby Grand Doomer EX: More fireworks Landia EX: Swiftly losing power and returning to normal Fiery Puffer: Let's make a pancake out of you, Kirby looks hungry and be relieved your water counterpart isn't here too. Electricky Dooter: Oh you wish to power up our Mech, you're too generous. Hydriath: Didn't anyone ever tell you water and electricity don't mix well. Get zapped Sea Monkey! Rampaging Doomers: If Landia normal and Landia EX couldn't beat Kirby, you don't have a chance. Crowned Doomer: I think these Doomers haven't figured it out yet, Kirby isn't going to be taken down by any of them. Just self destruct and we'll head into the next challenge. HR-D3: Time to scrap this troublesome bot Lor EX & Magolor: I'm running out of snappy jokes. Um, back to the dock with you. No that's not silly enough. Oh I got it, the crown was a siren and Kirby was the deadly rocks the Lor EX crashed into. That's better, onto the next match. Magolor EX: Poof, one moment he was here and then he was gone. Galacta Knight: Another round and Mecha Kirby says not today Galacta! Master Crown: We're back and now it's your turn to fall! Even with your lasers Kirby will rise to the occasion. Magolor Soul: Don't worry Magolor we'll save you and Void won't be able to defeat Kirby. At least he's nice enough to teleport in front of some of the cannon blasts. We may have lost Mech, but got it back on the second try. Then Magolor just floated there letting us blast him again. Maybe that was the real one trying to assist us in his rescue. Envoy Kirby, the warrior of chaos, will bring Void down and save the world. Now give us Magolor back! Winner of the True Arena is Kirby! He leaves all his foes speechless. 100% clear title screen. Until the next Kirby game, *Kirby victory dance* and *Poyo!*

Oh boy starting the episode with a magnet puzzle. Yikes at let's it didn't need you to find multiple magnets to complete this one. Ao many easter eggs unlocked, but the one where we unlock the safe and it squished the character was not what I expected. I thought it would just fall off and open up. That was sad. At least the ET being barried was silly. I'm glad I wasn't the only one to jump when that sudden hand appeared to touch the screen then vanish. Then more appear, okay this isn't a one time event so maybe it's a boss or something else is trying to get our attention. Placing things okay I think that's both impressive, but creepy how they...DA FLOOF WAS THAT?! Something was at our door and then closed it. Did something escape the game and we caught them before they could attack us? Whatever it is, the thumbnail now makes a lot more sense. The water puzzles with the keys and magnets is very cool. Making sure both timing and moving into the correct positions. It makes the puzzle at the start seem like these are so much simpler instead of getting trickier. Please let me not have jinxed things. Seeing how the doors lead as fast travel to other parts of the map I remember my original idea of them taking us to the original rooms where the other kids wrre taken from now feels silly. The other consoles wouldn't be on plus the game cartridge thry used is likely the one we're using now. Although it would've been a cool idea of exploring the other places and finding clues or item we could use. Hurt the boss with sharp things. Okay! Part of me really wishes we could ask an npc about the sword but using the magnet to move the needles fine. Let's do it. The darts, that's why we've had them from the start! They're for a boss fight, oh that's clever. I'm just confused on how we got him when the window is closed, but hey these darts keep returning to the box so they must have some power in them. Boss down and we can see more puzzles down. Huzzah to new clues but so much left to solve. A new area with spikes that sounds like we need a new item. Thankfully I just remembered I saved a picture of the guide book and there's something that will help I'm curious where it's hidden. The easter egg twins, twin girls vanished. Could that be Jennifer and Kate? And Timothy, the boy with the frog plush, could he be the fishing frog character? It that is them where's Lucas? Things are becoming curiouser and curiouser. Okay that's weird, the dragon is back, but we've been through several times and he was ways gone. What changed? The fact we have the artifacts? Beat four bosses? Hmm.. I am so confused but also very curious. Part of me wishes we saw the art designer's hand just dropping the dragon back into place. First Pac-Man ghosts in the maze to find candles. Now he appears and is ready to eat us. Yikes, I guess because our in game avatar is kind of a ghost of ourselves participating in that world. That's both an interesting idea, but also dangerous if we got pulled into the game and they found us. Tiny item found and now we can finally defeat the spikes and tiny mazes. I am very glad we found it. Although dang the timing since the episode is over. I am curious whether we can make use of this item in other areas of the game and find more easter eggs. I'm both excited and a bit nervous about what we'll find next time.

That bonus stage at the beginning of the episode made me realize that unlike the Kirby stages, the only stages that have a rank for thr epilogue are the regular levels. It's a reverse of what Kirby has by the ranks being in the challenges. I guess since many of the challenges are simpler the game designers thought we didn't need to rank the Magolor challenges. That last escape the wall of doom challenge had me a bit jumpy but it was fun seeing all the tiny foes in the guantlet. Even the tiny Mech enemies. Oh man I accidentally paused at 8:02 as Magolor is being pulled into the boss fight. However I caught the moment he's upside down and it just looks so silly. I've seen him enter the portals so many times, but the pause moment just caught my funny bone today. Rampaging Doomers times fours each with what looks like the fruit slices. This shouldn't be problematic. Let's blast all four and take our slice or slices to go. On the other hand, what if the reason for there being four of them is because of Landia being made up of four dragons? That would be an interesting reason. (Oh floof, I just rechecked what I wrote last time and I even had a similar thought about Landia.) Ah just a single slice from the quartet, well thanks for the slice time to be reminded of what happens next. Heywe worked hard to get the apple whole again. Crowned Doomer isnot taking this away from us. Although knowing me I'd probably want to take advantage of being able to up the skills higher before this anf the following fights. Ifthe initial max bombs are powerful what is thenew maxed level capable of? Master Crown aka the tree boss fight that was missing from the Magolor levels. If Kirby gets to battle Whispy every game then even Magolor will have one. Oh dang, if we ever had a Suzie verion of a epilogue would the Whizpy she fight be mechanical transformer? I can't shake the idea and I want to see that. A Hal room in the epilogue awesome. I bet there was a lot of pointswhen you used black hole on the letters. Okay evil tree I know I said this before, but your lasers are both a surprise and powerful. Calm down. Wait he can body slam too, ouch. Final hit being a dash attack just feels awesome especially after the phasing helped dodge an attack that felt like how did this work. We get a sword for the final part, heck yeah let's go! I just had a thought, what if there's a future game where characters Kirby has helped need to go on an adventure together level up skills and work to save Kirby. Maybe some new or old enemy captured him and the other character's get to play hero and save the universe. Or the problem starts when Kirby is sick and can't help fighting the problem that's appeared. Either way I'd be curious what Hal Labratory will come up with next. Until then Poyo!

Not going to lie, this area and the red mansion got me to legit jump at the scares (the random art room and the eye in the door) but I liked the real life portion of this area the most. What were you saying when the rooms were switching up though after going through the door and back? I couldn't hear the word that you were saying to describe it or what it meant

Power up Magolor and the we're going in. It's not a tough area, but our foes fall before us. I just realized if you had the whole floor covered in the bombs all enemies that don't fly would instantly disappear upon arriving in the arena. That would be funny to see. Also is it just me or does it feel like the music is about to start going into the Hamster Dance song each time Magolor enters a stage? I've been meaning to ask, but I kept forgetting. I think that Magolor cannon challenge was just a fun excuse to let the player have a location just to use that ability multiple times. It's a very fun idea plus the bonus counter was going up fast. I think the gauntlet that has some stage hazards, foes, and Magic Points traveling across the arena was fun. It was like watching a parade float that Magolor was fighting on. That is it wasn't nice when on trapped and then crushed Magolor, but it was impressive plus the final float got to be the true final spot. A fun means to redesign the level while we're right there. A wall that has both nonphasing blocks as an obstacle to a lever with more points. I'm guessing, since I forgot, that means we'll be back after a battle. Or due to picking the harder version of the stage we can't get to those points. Nope we returned to it some mini bosses later. Well played game, well played. I was wrong, but that's fine. It's fun getting to see more alternate enemy colors and designs. Some feel stronger and others not so much. Especially with Magolor regaining so much of his list strength. Some of the new skills he's showing I think possibly would've been interesting to see in Smash. Although seeing the video is over I have two things to say, Poyo and *Hug!*

Starting an ice level, oh this will be fun to see. That spike ability is great, I'm surprised the previous levels didn't require it for any puzzles. Wow that shield challenge looked like it could've been a lot meaner than it was. I'm glad the slow scrolling room didn't have a Bulb to protect because the previous part was already hectic. Wait a moment this area is also a beach inspired so we have both ice and water here. Nice. Especially when we go after the water monkey Hydriath. Wait a moment, this version of Goriath brings in a water element maybe to tie in the fact that these two bosses look like they could've been found relaxing in a hot spring at the top. Plus another at the bottom of the arena and we jump out for the fruit slice especially after fighring a water boss. It's nice to see one of the two making use of this element. Plus I don't remember if I saw this before, but Hydriath has a fish tail on his back now it looks like a fish with arms, legs and the monkey face. LoL! The video is already over. These levels go by so fast, but it was still a lot of fun to watch. Poyo for victory.

Today was actually not as rough so better day means time for a reward of double Magolor levels. Poyo! Instant full magic, our opponents won't be getting away from this attack. Kaboom! Protecting the Magic Bulb challenge. Wow I forgot a lot about the epilogue. Time to test out the new upgrades for Magolor's power. Oh a nice bonus for keeping them safe, awesome especially when we go from one to another so the level had to give more Magic Points somehow. Extra bombs upon upgrading for Magolor very helpful and has me wondering what the upper limit is. Dash attacks, always helpful. Unless we have the wall of doom behind us and annoying obstacles on the ground getting in the way. On a different note, I like how in Magolor's levels we get to see a range of the different sizes for the enemies. It's interesting seeing the tiny ones. Fiery Puffer maybe volcanic, but he's going to cooked by our magic. Initial tries helps to learn what he can do and then we'll be back. Oh look we got another slice of fruit. These bosses are now starting to be a challenge, but if Kirby had to fight both versions of the boss at once that would be a mega challenge. Next up more Magolor. Poyo!

mommy? sorry-- she's so heckin' PRETTY dude. I absolutely adore her design on every level. ♥ I need more Rouge content in every game for the future! Heck, the music you picked out is pretty spot on 👀

Let Rouge kick again!!! Going through the games again made me realize we really haven't explored Rouge a lot, especially her portrayal in Shadow Generations. Shes always kinda been in the background, which kinda fits her character but there's only so much you can lean on that before people start getting curious, and I'm definitely getting there.

Time for the thief of Team Dark. We're on the second team member. This new design is great. Using Shadow's old ring for his long braided hair is just a perfect addition. The studs in her ears feel like part of her way of incorporating Omega along with the extra armour. They're also to wear some of her gems, that would make sense for her to have some shiny jewelery. Siren Call attack, yep that makes a lot of sense. I'm surprised the canon series didn't think of it. Bats use echolocation so why not let Rouge have it too. New kicking attacks looks great and the idea of more characters affected by Chaos energy just makes sense. So I'd think gaining new abilities would be something the Sonic cast of characters should see happen. If Chao can be changed, going Super, and acting as power sources these gems help to shape and change the world around them. Taking on the abilities of a regular bat and/or a vampire would be something cool to see. One thing I'm surrpised Rouge didn't add to her abilities is getting her own gun, maybe something she took from G.U.N or Eggman. or she had one of Shadow's old one upgraded to fit her style. Maybe even have it able to set off a smokescreen for a quieter means to distract a target and sneak up on them to use one of her new powers or just grab something withour the target aware. Next time Omega will become a titan this has me very curious what you're going to share. Until then I think I'll be checking in on Madeline as she continues her journey in Celeste.

I got no joke this time. This is just a good design

Using Last Surprise from Persona 5 for Rogue the Bat was a great choice! I like the idea of her being an energy vampire after years of hanging around Shadow, but could she incorporate that chaotic energy into things other than her "Siren Call"? That would be interesting to see. Also LOVING the hair braid. Maybe she could use that as an attack as well? (Case in point, Bianca Bel Air from wrestling. During her early days she would use her long braided hair as a whip) And next time we have Omega which should be HIGHLY interesting since he hasn't been having many in-game appearances lately, except as an NPC or something along those lines.

Magolor's thene park mini game challenges having a hundred to complete. Wow that's a lot more than I thought there would be. Also Cone Mouthfull mode mask is hilarious while seeing an Awoofy mask has me grinning. To bad we couldn't find a Awoofy running around the park. Now it's time for the Magolor Epilogue. Time to collect orbs of magic and defeat more Doomers. As a puffin once said, "No fear." The stages here just feel like fun relaxing areas. I wonder if this could've been an idea they dropped from the original. I am just so excited getting to see you play it. I hope I get to someday. Ordeal Doors, this Magolor is your chance to try a variation of Kirby's ability doors. Time to head in and see if you too can pass the test. Plus collect a nice collection of Magic Points. This episode is so just flying by it's a little tricky to think of silly things to say....Until a wall barrier shows up and chases us. Dang it, I thought we'd escsped them. Electricky Dooter, now this is a bit more interesting than the original version. Both in ability and name. Unfortunately since we are working with Magolor, this Dooter is still in trouble. Episode is over, but it has me excited to rewatch these levels, Poyo. It's going to be fun seeing Magolor regain his abilities.

Landia time! With Water Kirby by our side it's time to takr on this challenge. Also having water while fightinf over a volcano makes sense. The usual lava blocks change when Water Kirby surfs by so this feels like we're keeping the arena from breaking apart. Oh and seeing Kirby surfing into a wall, but still taking out the health was great, I've got a big smile from this. At 3:31 I noticed the shocked eyes of King Dedede and I almost feel like his design got updated in Deluxe because I don't remember his shocked face being that silly. The tiny dots almost feel like his eyes are going to act like Cookie Monster's and bonus around. Or maybe it's due to the fact that Kirby, Bandanna Dee, and Meta Knight all have similar eye shapes while the penguin does not. Even Magolor has the same oval shape. Time to switch up who our allies are. We fought against each other and now we're allies. Are we secretly part Goku. Enemies into friends. Similar patternand both Goku and Kirby love food. Uh oh I better halt there before I go to far into this rabbit hole. On a different note I realized that the blue in Kirby's eyes is the same as Landia's they're blue eyed buddies. Although sadly this is a blue-eyes red dragon. Doomers, bah you're going down to Landia's fire. Also I never knew, or maybe I just forgot, that a full charged attack from Landia fires behind us before we get to Magolor and the Dark Lor. I used to mostly depend on rapid fire shots. Now i feel silly. (Post Kat from the Dark Lor battle: Okay I feel sillier now and know I forgot. All because the backwards attack was needed when the Dark Lor goes behind us.) Oh floof, I forgot the giant prism got funky here. Either tbis got enhanced on the update or thanks to it being before the seizures I can't remember if the original had the game that sharp. (Sorry for the grumble I just had two long seizures that is making me a bit jumpy.) Time to hide until we get to fighting Magolor and the Dark Lor. ... *Facepalm* By Lunarstar, how did I not notice several things about the names. First Magolor has Lor in his name so he and the ship matched. Lor might be short for lore as in story telling. Magolor shared a story with us when we met on the ship. Then when he got the crown and the ship also was affected. We have Dark Lor, a dark story. *facepalm* That's both brilliant, creative, and sneaky with how this little bit of foreshadowing is right there always in front of us. Part of me is disappointed I didn't notice this sooner. Now I am curious if some of the same clues could've been found in Magalor's name. *one wiki check later* Wait his name is Magolor? Oh opps and let's see. Huh? The name has a completely different meaning than I expected. Especially when mixing in the Hyness language where Lor means place, so Magolor's name may be false paradise per the wiki. Okay Magolor time to face off against Mecha Kirby. Oh you want to float right where we can get you with our cannons. Thank you. Hehe. Do it for multiple rounds thank you. Now we get Super Fire, I like this better than Monstrous Flame it just feels fun to say. Oh yeah send in the fire dragons. Followed by Flare Beam. We'll send your attacks away with one shot. Then have our attack right where Magolor teleported to. That's perfect! Then it's Nitro, huh how did I not remember this, shrug, Super Sword. Time to slice through the last of his shields. Time for the next phase and yeah I agree this music is awesome. It feels like a song that will make one think of Kirby. It's got the playfulness but also gets you wanting to win the battle. Blue fire dragons, dang to bad we didn't get that version. Maybe we can hug one of ... Opps then we fall. I had bad timing with that thought. Second try and Kirby has mech powers. Oh yeah Magolor is going down. Yep and time for the turn of the good Lor Starcutter. Huzzah! Although I am sad to see the Lor and Landia leaving. I hope they get to come back again soon. Especially Landia they're fun and Kirby have a dragon/hydra buddy. Great episode to watch and has me curious what type of adventure Kirby will take on next. Hopefully that will be announced soon.

That opening elevator segment when it added the spinning fire bars with lava blocks along the edges to keep us on the platform had me just hoping Kirby wouldn't bump anything. Unfortunately the rolling lava bolders did cause trouble first taking away ice and then mech. Are we sure the game wasn't actively trying to make Kirby go into the next room without any abilities? Oh no, not another high jump room. Thinking about it now, I'm not sure which I find more painful high jump or that boot. It almost has me wanting another round of the tetris squishing room challenges. *facepalm* Why did I write that, almost the very next room we get a line of walls that try to squish and got Kirby. Guess something in my mind wanted me to not remember then find this. At least the water ability teamed up with the cannon is fun to watch. All the blocks and foes just went boom. Grand Hammer can send the large enemies into the screen. Dang I thought we'd hit some before with super abilities but this is the first one that hit the screen. Plus they looked like we turned them into paper. Loved it. Is it just me or does it seem like the game is throwing a lot of ice type Sphere Doomers at Kirby in the late game? I feel like that's become the main one we keep seeing. It's not a bad thing, but it's surprising how often they're appearing instead of some of the other types seen earlier on. Wow game that second cannon shooting Kirby into the quickly closing path was mean. It looked like a great shot at the start. Thankfully the next room isn't as evil if we ignoring the incoming meteors. Plus it offers many abilities. Time for the trial of the tools. We had cannon earlier, then boot, and now horn shield. Best item to both defend and take out opponents. Ultra Sword a perfect way to take out all mini bosses that try to get between Kirby and our goal. Unfortunately our super power says zkirby shale pass this challenge. Finally different types of Soomers. A fire and a...hm I don't remember what the purple one was. Time for a quick search. Apparently they're the type to not give a power. Wow that's a surprise. I bet if the poison ability was available that would be what the purple ones would be. At least the pair fall quickly before the might of Water Kirby. That last bonus door dropping us onto extra stars and health is something I keep feeling surprised by since bro and I never found that when we played the game. It's a fun surrpise, but still has me wishing that max extra lives could reward Kirby with something nice. Maybe evem more stamps for the Magalor theme park or new masks. Next time we face Landia and things take the usual surprising turn, but Kirby has a plan. Is it cake, nope it's a *Poyo* for victory. After things calm down then cake. ^v^ No one gets between Kirby and his cake.

I'm sorry hero but your princess is in another castle. As soon as I saw we were in a castle I couldn't fight the joke. Thankfully we didn't run into a talking mushroom at the front entrance of the place. Although if one appears after the boss I will laugh. Sudden magnet appears. Oh my gosh and I recently made a joke about Kirby and a magnet. Oh the timing. When you mentioned the music from Inscription I had to pause a moment before realizing yeah it is sounding similar. Wow. At 10:59 the room where multiple things blew up almost looks like they reveal another code, but its hard to tell if they're all numbers or if one of them is a letter. Very curious game. The screeching character made me jump, but not as much as the toy suddenly attacking. Although for a brief second I thought it had a bear's head. Thank goodness it didn't. Okay, hold on, if the game's musician was locked in the cave and is a boss, does this mean each of the bosses we've faced were once members of the staff that created the game? If so, yikes and I'm glad they've run off. Maybe when we win the battle they realize what's happening and want us to defeat the game hopefully freeing them plus thr other captured people from this world too. Or maybe they're regrouping in order to get help in the next rematch. Whatever the case, wow this boss has a very dangerous arena, but the bedroom side of the fight has me hoping we find his shadow and blast him outta here. The saying we're jumping at shadows works here, because that shadow had me wanting to find it fast. Holy floof that flashing room where you mention a concole was evil. Hopefully we don't have to visit it to many times. The last easter egg has me wondering that was an odd catfish or giant silver fish that's unable to move. At least they didn't hurt us. Here's hoping the next area has some more clues on what to do later.

I was curious as to what your reaction to the piano in the kid's room was going to be and it didn't disappoint. Also there is one Easter Egg that you missed back at the beginning of the game, which if you don't know about then you're screwed. The next area (The Temple / Ruins) is the only other area that legit spooked me. (The Red Mansion creeped me out as well)

Poyo look out Kirby, this factory is trying to squish you. Time to grab mech and blast our way through. The tetris squishing room is probably my least favorite challenge due to early tries and bro when he was trying to be "silly". That extra life was a troll to me too. Thank goodness it respawned to help boost the life counter as though the event never happened. Time to face Mech General against the mighty Mech Kirby. Although I will say it's to bad that Mech General gets what I think is a beam sword and Kirby does not. At least they're good moments to hit the boss with multiple laser shots. One reason it's not always easy to visit Landia. There's so much lava in some of the parts of their home it's going to take a bit. Hey that lava geyser took away mech. Rats. At least the flowers are giving a lot of ice cream. And not long after you request water ability a Water Galboros appears. Timing. Oh and super ice, time to bowl our way to victory and another Doomer. Oh and this one is an ice type too. Sorry, but that won't save you from Kirby. Dang, the video is over. Oh well that just means more for next time. Until then more Celeste.

Kirby and the wind, ugh this one won't even let us back track. Wow, no wonder the episode felt like it was flying by quickly the first time around. Rock statues of any size fit in small areas. Dang this one is very overpowered. Thank goodness the rock punch was added since only changing into a statue isn't always helpful. At least we could become a rock in Crystal Shard and not get hurt that way unless we fell down a pit Super Beam or Flare Beam is so much fun. Plus even this ball of light sends enemies flying towards the screen. I'm surprised you didn't pick Mech against the Ice Doomer. Hm, hammer is still fun to use too. Oh and we start with fast water, first wind then water. That would definitely make another stage go quickly. Oh no, my memory reminded me of something silly. I'm not sure if you ever saw the movie Flushed Away, but seeing so many snails/slugs in this underground area. Especially when we are swimming, it has me thinking of the singing slugs from the film. The one song that alwayd pops up first is Mr. Lonely. I don't understand why this happens when I only watched the film once and it was only an okay film for me. Thank goodness the Squeak Squad wasn't hiding in this area because then I would really think Kirby was referencing the film. That button behind the waterfall was mean, the game tries to make it seem like we need bladed boomerang, but Mecha Kirby was the best option. Another great ability for this game. Hopefully we see it return in whatever adventure Kirby goes on next time. Water challenge just reminded me that Kirby has the Fountain Hover attack this game. That's fun to do and seeing it used to take down multiple enemies in a row just makes it even better. My thought on the last Bronto Bert is that they felt relieved to still be around when Kirby completed the challenge. I can even see them wiping their forehead once the screen went dark. Next time we'll be getting to see Landia again. That's going to be a great time Poyo. Until then time to check back in with Madeline and her climb up the mountain.

Yeah now that you mention it I could only see Shadow really adjusting his combat equipment and powers. I feel like the Twitter Takeover really emphasized that too

Huzzah, let's go Shadow! When mentioning the shoes originally having a metal underside I think I thought of a reason for it. Sometimes when Shadow runs it almost looks like he's skating, especially on metal floors. Maybe Maria wanted to create skating shoes with the boosters to assist in speed and control of movements. Shadows themselves do have moments of looking like the glide from one spot to another or I'm just feeling a little silly. On the other side of the coin I really like the new design you came up with for the shoes. The scarf is fun and will add another color for the spinning attacks. The inhibitors looks great and I love the details on them. New weapons from Chaos energy, that's fun and maybe even a blaster/gun of some kind. That could even be a reason for a lack of extra weapons on his person. The Shadows along the sides of the picture give me xhills since they look like they're about continue their attacks or movements any second. Great work and I can't wait to see what Rogue's and then Omega.

To bad the game only allows the quests for the minigames to count in Magalor Land. There's tickets over each minigame in the ship so I think it should still count. I know that mech feels like it should be the only meain ability for the first level of this episode, but several enemies just make me want bow and arrows here. Maybe even the double sided light saber ability. Monster Fire is always fun to watch. Let the fire dragons fly. Ninja Kirby triple slice for the Win! Rock Kirby can ignore both fire and electric cannon, wow my brain decided to be silly. That's awesome seeing the statues just ignore the cannon shots. I just had another realization about a number of factories in Kirby. Many love to have rooms where a lot of explosive enemies make the journey rhrough feel like we're Samus trying to escape an exploding planet. Considering several games include a Samus statue I bet this idea is on purpose. Leaf Kirby is just to good. Leaf storm while walking across a room and when in danger just hide in a leaf pile. This ability would be in danger is ice or lava levels could damage our ability or just weaken Kirby. However that is not the case and I hope this ability never leaves. Poyo.

well... Shadow truly does Live and Learn, and makes All Hail him with his power and desire to protect the earth. Then again Shadow does have the Black Heart of the Villain due to his Heritage, but the Brave Heart of a Hero due to his _choice_ on who he is. Jokes aside, this is so damn good. I love the way his inhibitor rings look, not to mention his green scarf just fits! and once you brought up the Rider Kick I now want to see Shadow with a badass belt just to hold onto a gun and some extra gadgets.

wait...are you going to be doing all characters from Sonic Heroes at this rate? If so, that's gonna be interesting and awesome. Cannot wait to see what happens when we "Fly in[to] the freedom (Hopefully we can get Blaze the Cat as well? One can hope)

I can't believe I didn't mention this last time, but I never knew about the secret door at the beginning of the level. That's a fun secret especially when it gives more ability options plus a Maximato in a box. Time to take on mini bosses. King Doo, you might work for King Dedede, but your beam is no match for Water Kirby. I did not remember the around the world beam attack, but it makes me enjoy beam more now. To bad the Kibble Blade and Gigant Edge shared a spot when defeated. That randomizer for the abilities felt like it knew you needed an ability to cut the rope and actively chose a ability that can't cut. Thankfully next time around and it was much easier to collect. Sword Kirby works perfectly although when you said, "I'm dropping sword for ninja." My brain just thought, but ninja has a sword too so isn't this just an upgrade to sword because we get more weapons and mobility? Oh man seeing Hammer Kirby against Grand Doomer was awesome. I completely spaced that Kirby could use the charged hammer like that. Plus seeing Kirby knocking away the orb attacks was just perfect. We're sending it right back at you Doomer. Although seeing next phase Doomer slam down on Super Sword Kirby was just an oh come on moment. Next time Doomer, oh wait that time is now. First we grab Mecha and then blast you with overhead and laser attacks. Kaboom! Super Sword Kirby take two, opps I meant Ultra Sword. Time to slice this Doomer open and take back the sails. Although writing this makes me wish the Doomer screams could have hidden a warning to Kirby about Magalor. That would've been a fun addition, but maybe for a different game. Seeing the Mecha challenge again. Oh what can I say but how, that last bonus room challenge didn't make much sense. Plus all of the challenges can be platinumed. Those runs must like everything is pixel perfect. I can't imagine what those scores look like. On the other hand, when Kirby saw Landia the first thing Kirby would think of is food. Or at least fo you think they like cake, Poyo? Do not fear Kirby, you'll all be getting more cake soon.

Parasol plus extreme winds and jumping up to climb the tower equals a tricky trial until we change out the ability. For a while it was scary seeing Kirby getting pushed towards spikes thank goodness for boomerang and sword appearing. I just had an idea after seeing the spark cannons while you have Beam Kirby. What if Beam let you guide the electric attack into a specific spot to unlock a secret? Or maybe just give Kirby a magnet to do the same thing. It would be an interesting twist for some puzzles. Super Hammer Kirby always fun although the owl jacks in the boxes sure were tricky when they refused to pop up where you needed them. Although seeing Kirby use the hammer to set pff a spring to fly up was great. The idea of bringing back Bell Kirby has me wondering what would an upgraded or super ability be like. Double slices of cake before leaving the level, Poyo for the win.

First stage and we start with a calm warp star ride through the clouds, Kirby I'm surprised. Although it's a good kind of surprise. To bad you couldn't eat the owl enemy Owgulf that knocked boomerang blade out of Kirby. Since the feather can also cut down that vine. Also yay for an excuse to learn this character's name. I did a quick check before including it. Umbrella Kirby versus electric Sphere Doomer. Umbrella wins. I can only imagine what a spirit of lightning would think seeing this. I bet they'd be annoyed but say that it's thanks to Kirby the umbrella didn't get zapped. Especially when we splash our opponents. Wait what, why did the episode fly by so quickly. *Sad Poyo* Oh well, at least I had fun and that's the important part. Plus I can watch another video I think I'll get back to a rewatch of Celeste.

Huzzah the forest candle maze was definitely easier than the mansion one, but still a bit spooky since I almost thought you were about to get snuck up on by one of the creatures. Thank goodness the candle said nope and warped you out. A white rabbit cameo. Nice. Especially when having to set up holes for the first boss plus the whole mess we've been working through part of me is surprised we haven't found more Alice in Wonderland or Looking Glass references. I guess since we found a cave with gems in it, does this mean we'll have to disregard the warning of not mining at night? I couldn't resist that one, it is a great song to go back to. Although mining at night in Minecraft feels a lot safer than this cave. The creature in the cave that changes from the blue orb with a face into a sun, it has me wondering if you have the player turn to the window would the moon's light come and go? Or it's a flower that's opening and closing trying to ask for help. I'm not sure yet. (Post Kat: Well I guess the cave was the true cause of the moon being hidden. I will be looking forward to getting moon light back into the room) Yikes the candle maze in the cave was really creepy, but the room where we follow instructions from our toy phone *shiver* that had me worried something would appear to chase the player. I love when games let us force an obstacle to get stuck in place. Plus removing a danger from the path. Hehe anothet victory for the player and we didn't have to worry about catching a stunt double. The humanoid in the cave, I really hope that wasn't another sighting of the figure we saw leaving a mirror back in the mansion. I'm glad it never got you. Hopefully it's the next boss do we can send it running away from our protagonist. Also thank you candle for being similar if not better than the one from Kirby, because this one never goes out.

Do the candles do anything or are they just optional collectibles for additional achievements?

Ice maze time. Also here's something I don't understand, why do the ghostly Waddle Dees, Wapods have to look so cute, but not get to appear in many games like this. For some reason I just want to have some appear in future games ans chat with Kirby. They're not scary only a little annoying when trying to avoid them. I had to check a wiki for their name discover they've only appeared in three games. I'd love to see one get to chat with Kirby in a future game or even as a ghostly powerup for Bandanna Dee. Mech with the fire wings attack. Awesome. Oh no silly incoming, Scarfy plus Chain Chomp equals very scary flying iron ball possibly with two chomping mouths. I have no idea why my brain just thought of that. All I can say is thank goodness that's not a real enemy in Kirby, Mario, or Smash Bros. Nor does King Bowser even know about this idea. Back on topic of the level. Thank Poyo that the candles can be a substitute for fire against ice blocks. Great illumination and extra powerup. Oh floof, Festival Kirby in the Gooey mask flying to the top of the screen was awesome. The costume looked like wings helping to take Kirby even higher than what the slingshot did. Super Gooey to the rescue. Time to take Goriath down. Oh there's something new I noticed second time around. There's an aurora borealis in the background. I can't believe I missed that or just forgot, but it looks really great in this area. Although part of me also wishes there was a hot spring in the background too. Maybe with some Waddle Dees or another character enjoying the bath. Oh I even think having one under where we fight Goriath then jump out of the water to grab the ship part would've been a great way to conclude the level.

Curse you ice cannons! Why must they cause trouble from their projectiles and mere touch? Are they teally that cold? To bad fire Kirby couldn't change or melt them into a smaller cannon that affects the stage to unlock little bonuses. The platforms that have the chance to squish Kirby always make me nervous because of the times I can't dodge correctly. My one bit of relief is the game doesn't leave a outline of a Kirby pancake when we do get squished. Or fall and have an arrow under a picture on the wall to illustrate where it happens. However with how silly some challenges are I can imagine someone actively wanting to have Kirby outlines throughout the stage. The eels were in the waterfalls, oh that's evil. Now I wish we could use the chef ability to turn all of the eels into food and joke that Kirby switched the menu on them. Poyo! Oh floof the game does call the collectables Energy Spheres, for the longest time I thought it was just gears. I feel silly for not seeing that or just being able to remember. Bowling super ice. Huzzah for getting that turkey. I never understood why three plus strikes is called that even after all the times I played the game. Oh well Kirby had fun and tben helped complete a snowman before going through the warp zone. Bomb Kirby is wishing this Doomer a Happy New Year by creating all the fireworks. Dang if only I got to this episode around the first that would've been hilarious. Gooey mask obtained and if Kirby wore it to a Smash Brothers meet up the Dragon Quest heroes will either chuckle or mistake our star warrior for a regular slime. That would be a funny moment to watch. Until Kirby turns around and revealing he's wearing a mask.

I'm glad I watched this today and not yesterday! 😂 Cream definitely has so much room for growth amongst the whole cast and I hope she gets that chance. Also, exploring the powers of Chao and having her be the disciple of a Robotnik are both incredibly compelling ideas that, if only it would sell, would make me be endlessly excited for a solo Cream game.

Oh heck yeah! Cream and Chao timeskip time! *Insert Happy Dance* The wings on the Chao especially with a Chaos Emerald powerup. Cream as an archeologist. YES! The extra fluff on her ears is so cute. Cream with the mural and cooking. Ah now I want this to be a teaser for a game with Cream as the main protagonist. The picture is so much fun. Part of me can almost see Cream finding some ruins and unusual portals that either travel to new locations on earth or jump around in time, maybe even into old adventures from games Cream only heard about from her friends. Maybe even have a run in with Captain Toad and Toadette just for the surprise crossover. And now that I wrote that I can't shake the idea of having Cream and Sage becoming secret pen pals without Eggman finding out. On the other hand, I can easily see Cream also getting the books Amy would write and when possible choosing locations to have visits to share tales of what they've been up to. Seeing how determined and focused the Cream in the top left corner, she's going to be careful when cooking. I can easily imagine her reciting a lesson from her mother about what to do or not to do in a kitchen. If I remember right Vanilla was a very good chef so teaching her daughter would make sense. Very fun and exciting art. Great video and I am very excited to see who will appear next.

Holy Moly Batman, the demon escaping from the mirror like that scared the crap out of me! I swear this game creeps me out but I can't look away...

This is a great idea. I love your new look for this adorable yet powerful bunny.

Mecha Kirby vs Fatty Puffer fight! I almost forgot how tanky this puffer fish boss is. Although it did make me smile when you called out, "Burning Finger before completely depleting the health bar. Whip challenge, a task to know exactly how and where to use the ability and hope to never get hit or miss. I bow to your determination to get the gold rank. I may like to level things up or get as much as possible but that challenge would have me wanting to run. Time to head for an icy level. With multiple ability change challenges, but none as evil as the cannons that spin and we hope to collect all we need before moving on. That one cannon after getting the second gear. Seeing it aim down so quickly was like a moment of the game saying and now it's time to reset the room. My heart jumped at that. Seeing Kirby with Mic power just has me thinking if Present Mic and Mic Kirby ever got a chance to fight together their enemies would be in major trouble. I can easily see Eraserhead standing by with headphones just watching the chaos hoping that things will quiet down so he can have a cat nap. Then Kirby attempts to offer the sleep ability to see what happens. Ninja Kirby always a blast to see and the wall climb with a shuriken throw. That's always fun. Plus the moment of reclaiming the ninja power when sliding past a wall. Just glorious to see. Super Hammer, I don't know why but every time I got it I always maxed the power of the hit just because it was always fun to over do it. Ah ha take that Spark Doomer, Ninja Kirby with the cannon and then some slashes and shuriken will win this match quickly. The Poyos are with us and Kirby is just swiftly moving through this game. Speaking of moving through a game time for the final episode of Hi-Fi Rush!

Kirby time! Tricky underwater with evil currents. Some parts of this level just love to play games with the player. It looks like it's slowing down then speeds up or throws in a bunch of Gordos. As soon as we got the Super Fire ability all I can say to the targets was, "Open wide Calcifer." Although now I wish I'd thought of a better joke even though I'm sure I could've thought of something sillier, oh wait I got it. Enemies open up their mouths and fire dragons attack! Our foes went down to the super effective move. ^v^ When it's Spear Kirby vs Doomer, Kirby wins every time. Oh my gosh, I was definitely tired last time because this time I got to enjoy seeing the normal crab at 14:57. That's a fun detail. Also the idea of bringing in the Festival ability and make the crab dance sounds like something cool to see. Sword Kirby underwater doing the spin attack is always fun to see. Especially when he gets to take out multiple enemies that are attacking while staying safe. I just noticed in the room where we need to blow up walls to get prizes at 23:38 there's a group of normal fish near the door. Now I'm curious if I missed more sea life hanging around other doors. Good excuse to rematch Kirby, oh what am I saying Poyo, there's never a time when an excuse is needed to watch or play Kirby. Kirby is a sweet and lovable character.

Pixel Party time! Holy floof is that the apathetic frog face on a frog that's fishing? Last time I saw that frog was in a Ludosity game. Wait a moment we, can't see the eyes so the two frogs just share an expression, but wow that had me rechecking the source. Oh well, but I wonder why this frog is saying someone wants to help. Help who, themselves or someone else? Or the mysterious he says that they want to help, but their idea of helping is by controlling and misdirecting eveyone. Okay brain slow down, let's see what else is going on. Sweet the well is a portal, soemthing goes in and we get it on our side. Maybe this is similar to how we beat the first boss with the plants on our side. Onto the red mansion, is it wrong that I just want to throw some black paint on it just so it might go away? That and I couldn't get the song "Paint It Black" out of my head when I read the title of the video. Also I'm curious if one of the two toys we can spell words onto is the key for the character in town requesting we say cheese. I don't remember if that was tried last time. Unfortunately I'm not sure about the horror game you asked about this episode. The only ones I played would be Luigi's Mansion 1 and 2 with Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess being seen as one although I've never really thougjt of these games as full horror. More silly or fun adventure games. Is it just me or did we go up a chimney and find ourselves in a Pacman level? If so that's a twist to the gameplay style, but also the sounds these creepy characters are making has me wishing we had our sword. Mirrior room with a hidden enemy hm. This room has me wondering if this mansion is a twist on Peach's Castle from Mario 64. Some of the rooms have similar set ups. Both have mazes, room of mirriors, especially one to reveal hidden enemies, spooky paintings, dining hall. Some of this maybe coincidences because castles do love their mirrors, paintings, and dining halls, but I'm going to pretend that Bowser is watching and saying he did a better take over. Just to be silly to not become spooked. Then suddenly multiple puzzles and events on our side. So much just happened, but it's likely the remote channel changing might uncover new puzzles in old locations. Although thinking about how the mansion introduced the remote teleportation inside the mansion what if that's a clue before unlocking the batteries just as a tutorial before just leaving it up to the player to realize with our own remote we can do it ourselves? Hmm maybe so, but it is interesting getting to see the puzzles in this area build to teach different parts of the game. *MEEP!* By the moon and stars no, our protagonist got pulled in. This is not good. This is going to make losing even more dangerous. Oh we got out, thank Lunarstar. Heading into this boss fight was a lot scarier than the one in the woods. Thankfully we have another boss defeated and with an interesting puzzle with the mirrors in here too. I wonder what the next area will look like in the next episode.

Wow, the parasol ability is a lot stronger than I remember it being. Usually it loves to be not that great or annoying when trying to jump and not float past a spot. Also dang level where are all the gears? Oh the first wanted us to get Mecha first. Okay and the last two in a warp zone that feels like the wall was able to keep up too fast. At least the level gives a Mecha power before the final door. Seeing Kirby swimming around with only the breath attack underwater makes me miiss Crystal Shard since I loved grabbing the crabs or the one that shot pearls above them but now shoot little fire balls then have them keep Kirby safe under water. It was tricky, but fun to watch. Once again seeing the evil boots, has me thinking of how when I played this level with my brother and even when I was MetaKnight. Just About Every Time the boots would be part of a challenge, bro loved to try to jump on MetaKnight while he was in the Kuriboh Boot. Wait a moment, the episode is already over. Poyo. That went by to fast, okay best response is to jump into Hi-Fi Rush.

As soon as you asked, "Why is the broom witch in the f**ing desert level?" My only response is that he was told to sweep the desert, he lost his combs so the broom was a last resort. Plus he was looking for yogurt. (I couldn't resist the chance to make a Space Balls joke) Sand Kirby vs Water Galboros. Sand Kirby wins. I'm still a bit torn on which power I like better, but it was still fun to imagine what the Water Galboros thought of sand knocking away the water spheres. Wait what? I don't remember the crystal that turns us invisible also let Kirby walk in the same space as a foe without either getting hurt. That's really fun and something I will need to remember. I remember being able to go through the giant fireballs and crystal blocks so this just means something silly to make use of later on. Mr. Dooter, genie boss down. After rewatching this boss fight it has me feeling like this boss really could've used an update. Maybe even set up the boss to have a reaction to Kirby using sand or water powers instead of the other ones. A little tweak is all I ask. Or even just something added to feel like the genie is a bit more interesting. Kirby raises the mood and now onto Chai being a silly goose while helping his friends.

The idea of multiple time lines/universes and alternative classes, but same character. I'm blown away with this idea. Add in getting to see multiple variations of your friend's character is just to awesome for words. Hold on a moment, dice on the lute/guitar is brilliant. Yes, lute. Yay I guessed correctly. One version of Virgil, Virgil the Wishful, got to break the 4th wall to get to know the players and DM. That's very fun. Oh and calling out acting and dice rolls. This sounds like a fun character to both play and watch what he'll do next. Having a paladin who wants to be a major protector, I approve. Especially with his title being Vigilant, he's on his guard and he will defend. Wow just looking at the full creation, I am just so impressed and blown away. I wish I could think of more to say, but my brain is drawing a blank. So I will just say awesome work and thanks for sharing this. P.S. Sorry if I sounded a bit more ramble in place, I woundup with a bad headache tonight that just doesn't want to quit. Hopefully it's gone by tomorrow.

Excellent work as always, Envoy! You did my boy(s) justice with this art, and the speedpaint bonus is appreciated.

Desert time, better than the fireworks outside, and the character who gives sand is adorable. I'm can't believe I haven't checked their name yet. One moment please. Sandran looks like a combination of a little seal and dinosaur made of sand, okay I want to see more Sandrans in the future. Maybe for some of the other powerups like water or ice. Although seeing sand give Kirby Super Saiyan hair is fun. Yes rock power, as soon as we needed to press a button we get to change into the fist. Although the other statues are great to see too. With a few news ones added in. Kirby is just to good at bringing smiles. I completely forgot that tornado power had the power to use an air above Kirby like water has. That's a fun ability. Although sometimes I get the feeling tornado likes being tricky when trying to fly around dodging foes. Or maybe that's just my experience with it. To bad that last gear decided to be tricky, but thankfully it was just due to the bridge not letting Kirby go back. Not as bad as some other challenges that really make the player work to get it. Hopefully you're having a good new years and this year is a great one, Poyo! *Hug*

Kirby time! Ah boo, no archer Kirby. Dang I was excited to see Kirny firing arrows at either a mage/beam enemy or another sword welding one. Sword challenge defeated. Huzzah! Seeing this has me remembering some of the later ones getting really tricky. Even on the original version I wasn't brave enough to try for gold on everything. The oither mini games oh it's great to see them, except for keeping the ninja one for last. I remember some fond memories playing that one alone when bro was away. The new Merry Magoland theme park, fun addition and now that I remember this is part of the Kirby universe I need to inlcude it for the Bowser traveling through Dream Land story. The Poyos are strong in this hero, but the journey has a good ways to go. I can't wait to watch more.

I hope we learn what that bent looking yellow key is for. Or if it belongs to a different area or if it's meant to act as a possible weapon for this location? So many options, but no clues yet. Meep, well that claw on the window made me jump. I'm getting the feeling that's not going to be the last time we see something outside. We can move the blocks for the plant puzzles across plant bridges? Okay wow. And being able to change which type of plant affects certain puzzle blocks is impressive. I don't remember that from the ingame guide. So the Guess Who game will have a bigger part to play. I can't help, but feel proud of myself. Fast travel to a town, okay this is a surprise, but we dod learn what the mysterious yellow key like thing belongs. One of five pieces. Time to face the awakened creature again. With help from the shovel and plants. Although seeing this boss make code appear has me wondering if the game might make a reference to MissingNo. Oh floof when the plants appeared outside of the game in the protagonist's bedroom I nearly dropped my phone. Okay game this has me wondering what surprises will appear in the bedroom when we next face the dragon. One boss chased away and possibly four more after this. I'm still feeling scared, but curiosity has me wanting to know more. Here's to our protagonist able to save himself and the other kids.
