So... not sure if this is the right place for this, but... does anyone here by any chance know phpBB? I've been running the SNESMusic.org forum for years now, and about a month ago, I'm not sure what happened, but all I get is a blank screen with the error message "Trailing paths and PATH_INFO is no...

The issue is that what raocow sees as it missing a spark doesn't line up with what those of us who like the game see, not that it's actually missing a spark. I mean... you can't *force* someone to find that "spark" if it's just not *there* for them. I'm in a similar situation to raocow. I *like* DK...

moves from Kuma, the bear from Tekken. Specifically the moves where selected from the Tekken Tag Tournament 2 itiration.

Man, you come up with some ridiculously obscure naming gimmicks. I approve.

So apparently a local pizza place has an arcade machine of Super Mario Bros. Is there a way to actually get it as an NES rom? It's so familiar and yet has so many "gotcha" traps and I wanna practice with it so I can go there and impress a person by getting at least a little far in it If it's Vs. Su...

So. raocow. If you're going to play DK64, any plans to do Banjo-Kazooie and its sequel?

I don't mind plot in SMW hacks... though I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of "Mario is a jackass"/"Luigi is the *actual* villain" plots. They've kind of been overdone.

There's one more normal world, a small "final" world with like one stage and the final battle, and two more Lost World stages, plus the bonus boss.

At 2-3 stages a day, probably... 5-7?

The end of an era. But I totally get your reasoning. And don't think of it as the "end of A-side", think of it as... merging two concepts that weren't ultimately all that different to begin with.

As a Schrodinger's "issue person", I think the best thing I can do to respect their space is not enter it. This is a very logical conclusion for me to make based on these quotes, IMO. I have to admit, I feel the same way there. Especially as I've never exactly kept my disdain for the "spotzone" a s...

I think it makes more sense for there to only be a single haunted house level bc the level associated w/ it is a lot more obviously a "set piece" if that makes sense? Whereas the ice cave in DKC1 feels like they had all these ice cave assets and just... Forgot to use them for more than one level. Y...

Maybe this isn't the right place to address this, but as it's relevant, I'm going to, anyhow. Now, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you don't even realize you're coming across this way, but... SAJewers, you are doing a *fantastic* job of painting the "spotzone" as a group o...

You know. You always hear about how DKC1 has only a single ice cave level, but no one really mentions that DKC2 only has a single haunted house level. Lots more they could've done with that concept, but all they *did* was just... haunted roller coaster. Kind of a shame.

Heh. The "RNG Cleared" version of that map is cute. Too bad it wasn't used.

Hmm. Stickerbush Symphony... I *like* the song, but it's not my *favorite* track in the game... I think I like "Lockjaw's Saga" (the flooded ship hold music) the best. It's just so frantic.

Man, I never realized just how blatantly DKC2 ripped off so many SMW hacks! I mean, that ice cave music, which is like, *the* go-to music for ice stages in SMW hacks... and the bramble level, another staple of SMW hacks... and then to end with a Carol boss! Truly, Rare has no shame.

Heh. raocow's bit about the official soundtrack release missing "Mining Melancholy" is just... it's such a uniquely "Nintendo" problem. Even to this day, they have this total aversion to releasing their games' *entire* soundtracks -- which are usually *massive*, and *very good*, at that -- and inste...

So, that shortcut barrel you found in Lockjaw's Locker... There's actually one of those in every stage in the first two worlds (and the same is also true of DKC3), and many are hidden in weird, obscure spots that you'd need to do a team throw to reach. They're not counted towards 100% completion, th...

Example two: just count how often you'll spawn out of a bonus, or shoot from a cannon or whatever, and automatically land on an enemy. Often, these enemies are placed specifically so you'll get a free kill as a tiny extra "well done" reward. There's absolutely zero reason for them having done this,...

Look. It was imperative that we have this topic.

come laugh at poor ol' raocow

Did it.

Oh man dankey kangs

Seriously, I love DKC2. My favorite game in the series. This gonna be fun. :3

Because that's what he goes by on Discord.

Oh, raocow.
Sees SMB3-style bricks. Tries breaking them by spinjumping. This fails. Immediately decides he needs to throw shells at them. Accidentally breaks one by hitting it from below. Does not notice.

Never change, man.

Also: raocow has a bucket o' hair. This is now canon.

I haven't had much to say, myself... other than, perhaps, how amusing I find it that a lot of "references" in this game are both to ridiculously obscure, arbitrary things... and often, the only "reference" is in the level name and a couple text boxes, with the level itself just being a fairly standa...

Sebby, you have *no* idea just how lenient I and the rest of the mods have *been* with you. Why does everyone single you out? Because, as everyone else here has said, you don't *listen*. To *anyone*. You don't listen to the other posters. You don't listen to the mods. You don't even listen to *raoco...

Mars is effective against Mercury and vice versa (Fire vs Water/Ice), and the same with Venus and Jupiter (Earth vs Lightning/Wind). Okay so if this is the case, why is Mia (water/ice) taking critical hits from Storm Lizard (wind)? To be completely honest, after playing two and a half games in the ...
