Crow the BOOLET

I guess I'm just rambling but eh it was on my mind

It's strange that this game allows out to recreated the infamous Game Over scenes from both DK64 and Majora's Mask.

Between the greater focus on villains and rivals, the deaths of major characters in reveal trailers, and how Ridley and K.Rool's final smashes involves the destruction of their nemesis' property, I can't help but feel that there's a connection involved.

The bad ending in DK 64 was pretty creepy too in my opinion. The way the camera closes in on K Rools laughing face with his bulging bloodshot eye and the music that gets more dramatic as the actual weapon is revealed.

...Ah, the memories.

That would be really cool. I wonder what original villager would look like.

I wanna see a Mr. Game & Watch with an even LOWER FPS.

I can't wait to main sonic in his first form:

Is it really fair to pitch a two-hit-to-kill Mario against Bayonetta who posses a proper health meter?

You mean bloody tears?

Somehow I knew I'd run into that joke

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the vast majority of samples used in the game have been found now. Probably on WhoSampled or something 

Well, a great part of the OST was composed by Hideki Naganuma, who was the same responsible to the JSR OST. I think he even assumed Right There, Right On was basically a copy of Rock it On:

Not much sure about the other tracks of the game.

There's a whole topic @spinny made about this very thing

Back to back cause he's spinnin on his back!

I do want to remix something off of this game. I oughta pick one XD

Yeah I found almost all of the voice samples used in Rush, only a couple I never ended up finding. They're pretty heavily modified in the game but they're definitely the same ones. https://vocaroo.com/i/s1Mfs9ZaxcBu

There's a really bad ZX Spectrum game but forgot its name... It's got a giant BIRB and you can't play it without hacking. It sounds like Squwich.

Mighty has a downward slam that causes small-range earthquakes and can bypass shielded enemies, as well as smash through things like the green crates in Press Garden more easily than the other heroes. 

Ray can glide very similarly to Cape Mario, though the timing's much tougher to get used to. But once you master it, he's really fun to use.

Encore Mode lets you play as one character while another follows you, like the classic Sonic and Tails combo. You can switch between the two characters at any time, but you need to find 1-up monitors to add the others to your team. Also, you can only use the two characters that are currently active- You need to find special monitors to switch heroes or shuffle the order. Also, there's no life system. When a character dies, you lose access to them, immediately restarting at the spot you died in, now playing as the partner, and the next character in line becoming the new partner. But be careful- since each character effectively has only one life, you're treated to a Game Over if you lose all five of them.

As long as Mighty is in ball form, he's protected from spikes and enemy attacks. Mighty's downward smash is useful for killing annoying enemies. Ray's ability works like the cape in Super Mario World. As for the switching mechanic, press triangle to shift between 2 characters. To change the 2 characters available, you have to hit a switcharoo item box or the question item box.

Ray: Doublejumping enters a glide mode. Move backwards to pitch up, forwards to pitch down. Pitching up gains height but loses speed, and vice versa. He's vulnerable while gliding, but letting go of the jump button moves him back into spinball mode iirc.

Mighty: Does a ground pound, and when he hits the ground it creates a small shockwave that destroys nearby enemies. There are certain floors that can only be broken this way. Also while in spinball mode, Mighty's shell makes nearly all projectiles bounce off, and he can take one hit at a time from spikes without losing rings.

As far as switching goes, Encore mode makes you collect characters instead of lives, which means you have 5 max at any given time. You have two active characters which you can swap with X (top button on the Switch, dunno what it is for others), and those active characters can in turn be swapped with monitors strewn about the map.

Interdesting

Alright I'll try them out before I hurt myself even more lol

mighty: can deflect projectiles and bounce off spikes (and similar objects) while in a ball (and while ducking i think?). his air action is a stomp; he drops straight down at high speeds, breaking things under him (and releasing a small shockwave to either side), and can knock down item boxes in trees.

ray: glides somewhat similar to cape mario in smw. hold forward to dive, hold back to pull up. unlike tails and knuckles he's defenseless while gliding, but he'll curl up when you exit the glide.

character switching: you can switch between your two active characters by pressing whatever button is used to turn super, as long as the other character is on screen and on the ground. you can get the other characters in reserve by hitting 1-up monitors (they rotate through the characters you don't have) or in the pinball bonus stage. swap monitors will change your lead character with one of the characters you have in reserve; ? monitors will randomize both active characters from whoever you have available. also each character has 1 life; if you die you'll swap to someone else and you'll have to recollect that character to use them again.

you getting nostalgic on me brother or somethin

THANKS BROTHER REALLY APPRECIATED

The idea in both the anime and games is that evolving doesn't necessarily equal aging.

Aging is inevitable, but evolving is basically a permanent-but-optional upgrade to your body.

imagine if humans had optional upgrades to Human 2 and Human 3
