[@JuliePikacheeks]

I got this because I’m a girl and anyone in my family who bought me DS games as a gift would never buy me Mario stuff- but I was super happy with this game! I think maybe it’s purpose was to make it to the audience of young girls whose parents would most likely buy them this game instead of a Mario game. Getting to kick a bunch of enemies butts as Peach was entirely new to me, and it made me want to dress up as her for Halloween that year. I still love the OST with the full reprise of Parry’s Backstory song being my favorite. The game is more similar to a Yoshi’s Island game which I think features a lot more creative puzzles and abilities than a typical Mario game. (Also I’m not entirely sure, but I think using Peach’s emotions as powers was like… because Bowser was using the Scepter to throw everyone’s emotions out of wack, except Peach who had strong enough control over her emotions to not be affected by it. I *think* that was the game’s reason but I’m not sure, my point being that I don’t think it was really misogynistic) I’ll always appreciate that I was one of the few people who played this game as a kid.

[@hanat9116]

Agreed, I don't think it was misogynistic either. Even the final koopa guard poking fun at Peach for making it this far. The same thing could've been said if it was Luigi so there's that too.

[@judi__stone]

I loved this game as a kid! I always really liked peach and I was so excited to play as her :D

[@spacecat8511]

It’s a bit misogynic in that it’s a…VERY common trope to make women’s powers (if they have them) be Emotion Based. But it’s not the same as “women soooo hysterical~” since like. She uses it on her terms. It’s just tonedeaf. Like, if they just gave her elemental powers vs adding in the Emotions aspect? No big deal!

[@lucasmartinez5703]

I'd argue that it's not misogynistic at all since Peach (a woman who's gender makes her the "more emotional one") was the only one who had control of her emotions enough to save her hero and her kingdom mostly under her own power. Proving that she can save the day just like Mario often does. It made Peach cooler and more independent. Far from misogynistic.

[@cosmefulanito6854]

I don't think it was intentionally misogynistic, but I do think it was just a little bit. I mean, I find it logical to assume that Peach's powers being her emotions, rather than because "girls are emotional", it was because it looked cute, and that would have been much more accepted by the players than the usual princess in distress suddenly being as strong as the ones who have to save her every other game. So, like, I think calling it misogyny would be going a bit too far because it wasn't meant to be harmful (probably), but there is a bit of sexism in there anyway. Further than that, I'm the kind of person who doesn't mind that kind of stuff as long as the game is fun

0:16 - about the “made her fight with her uncontrolled emotions” actually she’s the only one with control of her emotions in the entire game. The story states that everyone in the mushroom kingdom lost control of their emotions and because of that everything went to shit. Princess peach then, being the only one that can actually control her emotions (that even translates to gameplay, since you can literally choose the emotion you want at any given time) has to then fight her way through all of this to fix the situation. The marketing for this game also stated that she’s in complete control of her emotions and that’s why she can change it at any time. So it’s not being sexist, the game is trying to do the exact opposite and say that the “powerful woman has control”

@@ohitsarcangel2182 she fights with her woman powers like... crying and getting mad... maybe the game is not that good actually

[@gengarzilla1685]

And with that comment you have missed the point entirely. Her total control over these wild emotions, to the point where she can freely flip between crying and getting mad in the blink of an eye, and use all of these to help progress the quest? This here is very much a useful power in itself when all the enemies except Bowser are stuck in just one single emotion. If anything, this game sends a "pro-woman" message when you start looking at it from the correct angle.

[@matias3542]

I never played this but I always wanted to. The thought of a hero with the powers of the 4 humors was always a cool idea to me. Plus she can float with an umbrella? Thats a great powerset

[@alijahaskew4644]

I remember playing this game all the time when I was a kid. It was a ton of fun, but I could never complete it because I couldn't find all the Toads to unlock the final level. Honestly, I would love for this game to get a sequel. Could even have a four player option where you play as Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, and Pauline.

ironic how alpha would play this game from 2005 less than a month before the successor is announced

[@LezbeOswald]

this game has gotten a lot of love recently and 8-year-old me (and 25-year-old me) feels incredibly validated. i can only hope that the explosion of this game in online circles helps to persuade Nintendo to make a remake or sequel but i doubt it :( it really deserves it though. fun fact: this is the ONLY Mario spin-off title to NOT receive a sequel. also i know the whole joke is "haha woman fight with uncontrolled emotions" but the whole point of the game is that she is the only one who _can_ control her emotions and none of the enemies can. like i get it, i get how the initial premise of the game comes off, but as i diehard fan of this game for 15+ years, i can confidently say it's not misogynistic. EDIT: speedrunners of this game have actually figured out a way to reach the final boss without 100%-ing it.

If anything, Peach was in total control of her emotions (via you the player), meanwhile the enemies are stuck with one emotion and are running around wily-nily.

Was gonna make a joke about woman's emotions being the most powerful tool, but this honestly was a way better game then one would've originally suspected. Good looking style and wtf ending

Despite the constant references to the lost woods for pure guessing, the lost woods puzzle actually involves the music. It gets quiet when you are near a wrong path, but loud when there is the correct path near you.

[@StarmanSolar]

I remember running around in the level desperately trying to find all the puzzle pecies and music notes, never found all of them sadly- This game was funny and fun in its own wacky way. Seeing you play this is a surreal experience that I find hilarious. A ds game series you should really look into is "Drawn to Life" and "Drawn to life the Next Chapter." I will warn you the second made me cry. The second game was a huge game in my childhood. This one was up there too!

[@taurus7395]

The Lost Woods are actually a bad comparison for the the old "guess the right exit or be sent back to the start" - riddle, since you don't have to brute-force them. The music of the area gets louder when you are near the right exit, they are not about memorization.

[@Scatmanseth]

You’re right but depending on how old you were when you played it that might not click for you before you just happen to get the right exit.

i know he used the OOT art, but OOT was not the first lost woods. and the first one did not have music

[@MK-qj2dj]

@@gigakid3 The first one in the NES game had a solution besides brute-forcing it as well, you could pay a NPC who would tell you the correct order. They would also be a bad example in this context, since you are not supposed to be brute-forcing them either, which is the game design Alpharad is critizising. Since he did use OOT in his video, this is a moot point anyway. Even if another Zelda game had a section called Lost Woods that relied purely on brute-forcing the problem, as long as OOT is shown in the video, it doesn't matter, the wrong comparison stands.
