"Just made it." - Bean quoting Sonic on the C Rank performance Hey. If it was Mega Man... Well, I'd probably still have a hard time acing it due to not playing much of three branches of that series or a good many spinoffs. I'm content with that score here. It's nearly half of them. All you...

Got your handle added to the list!

Shouldn't ever be a yet here. The original Sonic Colors isn't a nightmare. There's a reason why a lot of peeps said this game "broke the cycle", and I'm one of them. This and Generations were just very good games with both having some flaws. It's just that they aren't game-breaking flaws t...

Weaknesses: Charge Laser (1st form, both to expose the eye and hit it), Beetle Drone (2nd form, send it into the cockpit from below), Shield Bubble (Always the weapon that's weakest or one you have to get very close to hitting Wily with). Took a while to get used to that back and forth you have to d...

Around the midpoint or so in Freedom Planet 2 now. Great game so far. The one thing I will say is that instead of putting ten cards to collect in stages now, they've got either just one or two things to find. That means it becomes more of a needle in a haystack type of deal if you don't know where t...

Dune > Missile > Tide > Drake > Polar > Reactor > Ghost > Beetle > Dune You... you all saw that if you watched tonight's vid though, so yeah. Dune Woman's sandstorm move feels real tough since you pretty much can't be in the middle of the screen when it starts, but if she does that sand clone deal, ...

Getting more accustomed to the Wisps in general is a smart idea. Drill's one of the tougher ones since stuff can be anywhere with them.

Aside from using charge shots, you can use that shield in close quarters without taking a shot to deflect shots back. It's very good against the Joes and the copy of the dude you face at the end that the Joes were made after. Still requires you to jump though, so your strategy of hanging out in the ...

You could use Drill during that fight, but I've watched enough Mega Man runs to know you'll wait until the refights for that.

See, it's Big Shot because I had no clue that the super-charged buster was the way to go in this fight. I used the non-super power charge shot and Metroid strategies (ice + missile) later in the fight when things started to get faster. Also, you can once again use the bubble to go to a secret area i...

Oh my god. Now we're shrimping.

Saving that for the now defunct Mosts as Quote of the Year from a member. Thank you.

I don't care if this breaks the rule since I'm searching, but how about Stardew Valley/Disney Dreamlight Valley (catching one) or Dave the Diver (fought)?

Crush Crawfish (Scissors Shrimper), Mega Man X3. I also think there's some things like that to fight in Elden Ring? This would require me to play that game though, which I have not.

That is a fun and tough level, but it could've done without the Ghost Woman pop-up spikes. Everything else clicked. I think you can use the bubble to reach that extra life easier when things were upside down. Beat works, too.

That might've been more of a problem. The only two weapons that do two bars of damage to the bulb itself are Beetle Drone and a charged Snow Roller. It's the inside where it counts.

One of the cool things about this boss if you can do it is when it opens up, you have the ability to go inside its top if you can dodge the twin spark shots and either use Desert Storm to take off a big chunk of health or keep holding Charge Laser down there, which will heal it at first, before over...

Started Freedom Planet 2 , and it seems fun. The stages can be shorter, but since I like exploring for hidden goodies, the early levels were still taking around ten minutes. I think it's about half that if you know what you're doing and just race for the goal. Definitely still inspired by a lot of S...

That translator said Baldy Nosehair, not McNosehair, Sonic. It would not be very nice to call him that. Anyway, yeah. Hope the instructions click sooner with a couple of the other powers, but Hover's one of the more involved ones with that dash. You figured it out way sooner than pokecapn did when t...

This boss was a struggle here, too. I did try using its weakness in Soul Trap to catch the Mets and send it right back at the big one, but it doesn't make the thing easier to dodge. You kind of have to know where to be at all times, and that's not easy if you miss a shot or two against the little du...

Starlight Carnival is my least favorite world for having way too much automation. Act 1 probably had the worst of it with the fifteen seconds of nothing. Not to say all the levels are bad here, but a couple are on the silly side. And I'm not talking about the one with the yellow bouncy springs. That...

See, it's a matter of trust because the siblings are counting on each other. It was either that or You Look So Good to Me which just sounds odd even with the boss' name being EYE-C.U.2 there. Anyway, it's the return of the intro stage gimmick with beginner endgame difficulty. Works for me.

Saying it here as well that you can save after every fortress stage. It's pretty forgiving in that regard at the very least. Those big beetle dudes were the cause of my first game over (or at least one of them) with an assist to Rush Jet going awry. Still remember that. Fun enough stage though, and ...

All right. Got my initial round of guesses in. Going to try to place a few more in my head before the deadline, but we're off to a decent enough start.

The DS version also happens to be the last good-ish Sonic game Dimps made. Of course, this is not a fact but an opinion, but that is a fact that it's my opinion, so there. If I remember it right, you usually get a couple of normal-sized acts mixed in with the bite-sized ones that are more meant for ...

That bubble letting you travel on water makes it easier to get to both the secret passage in Ghost Woman's stage if playing as Mega with no Rush, and I think there was a tank in the water in Dune Woman's level. Niche, but useful. Fun stage, and using those jellyfish the whole way across that potenti...
