I'd say this captures the item hoarding mentality of players pretty well. I myself save a Hammer Suit for Bowser for a rewarding finale.

[@dylanzlol7293]

My issue is a tad bit less extreme, i only hoard the best items, ill have a normal amount of potions and super potions, but ill sure have a lot of hyper potions and max potions on my rpgs!

in certain water levels if you don't use special items like the Frog suit, you can't find some secret zones though. And the same is valid with the P-wing and certain levels in the sky. Also if you bring with you the 3 Warp Whistles in level 8, they become literally useless at the end, so it's better to use stuff earlier

[@kraken5003]

We know it's always a great day when Dorkly uploads, and no, I am not trying to just impersonate the annoying bot, he actually doesn't upload very often. This reminds me of how sometimes I get these special items in games, or even just common items, and end up just keeping them in my inventory and saving them even when I could really use one. I just knew what would happen, I knew that the goomba would hit Mario Juniour, that was quite funny, haha. Welp, at least in 50 years, probably at least one more was found. They saved it for a long time which was good, but it's not so much about how long you save it for as how much use you make out of it, if only they had used it at the bullet bill part where they were doomed. I love the goomba then talked (like what usually happens in your videos) and said that and yeah.
