Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Kamek's Revenge

One thing you might have to pick up on is reading how bosses telegraph their attacks. During the Tolstar fight, whenever he's about to throw a high-bouncing spike ball, he goes "NYEEEECK!" He doesn't telegraph who he's attacking, but fortunately this is a fight where you could simply jump ...

Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Super Mario Infinity: Mystery of the Magic Wand

Welp, we don't have to worry about him only levelling HP, at least. That just destroyed me as a kid. :D

Liking this LP so far. This game seems to be giving raocow plenty to work with in terms of commentary, which I kinda figured it would.

Re: JUMP π/2π - Half a jump is still a jump

I actually didn't have a problem finding that exit, since I thought the Ninji falling into the pit just looked weird. I tried following it before even going left, though, so maybe if I had done the level normally first and knew about the gimmick, I would've had more trouble.

Re: JUMP ¼*2 - Half a jump is still a jump

F

On a more serious note, I've recently started world 3, and holy crap, this is the most fun I've had in an SMW romhack since... I have no idea. raocow, you are gonna have an absolute blast with this game, especially with how many genius levels I've come across so far.

Re: JUMP 0.5 - Half a jump is still a jump

Man, I'm gonna love playing along to this. JUMP is my favorite SMW hack ever, and I've been hoping the sequel wouldn't be stuck in development hell forever. Currently playing along, in the middle of world 2. Just 1 question: How many Morsel, Jolpe, and anonymousbl00dlust levels are gonna destroy me ...

Re: Talkhaus Christmas Advant 2018!

It's actually uplifting watching these. I guess that's what raocow does to you.

Man, even Nintendo's getting in on it this year by getting rid of the Creation Club. No more editing shenanigans to avoid copyright claims. :D

Re: Last Impact : First Impression

Well, I guess I’ll have to give this hack a chance. Looks interesting, though after ragequitting 3 different hacks halfway through (74, Star Road, and Green Stars), I have no idea if I can do this. Honestly, the reception to this hack seems to vary wildly. I’ve seen some youtuber claim this hack sav...

Re: Wario Land 3 - With input from Samus

After replaying this game and watching raocow play... I don’t know what to think of this game. It’s certainly more interesting and fun than a lot of really samey 2D platformers Nintendo makes now, but I’m not sure it completely works as a coherent game as a whole. I remember getting frustrated quite...

Re: Twitch vs Youtube, Stream vs Pre-recorded

Not a huge fan of streams, since everyone always seems to stream when I can’t watch. Not only that, but streams tend to murder my phone’s battery when it bothers to play at all without intense lag. I much prefer the pre-recorded stuff.

Re: COMING UP NEXT

Oh wow, I kinda remember savescumming, like, half of Super Mario Infinity. I don’t remember that hack being that great, even back then. I can still enjoy quite a bit of Vip4 and even Hyper VI, which both have their fair share of fun, creative levels despite being extremely uneven when it comes to qu...

Re: Wario Land 3 - With input from Samus

I wouldn't necessarily call the boss bad. It just shows up way too early. There's a powerup later on that would make this a much easier/fun fight.

Re: Wario Land 3 - With input from Samus

Seeing this game again makes me wonder: Could the Wario Land series be what inspired Mario Odyssey all along? That game certainly seems to have built on the “using enemy transformations to progress” gameplay, only with it being 3D Mario instead.

Re: Wario Land 3 - With input from Samus

Ah, the memories of me trying to find out what to do in this game. It's all flooding back. I remember faffling about trying to find out how the invisibility worked too. I also could not figure out duck jumping as a kid, so I spent hours trying to get the desert daytime key just charging at the wall.

It's only the first video and raocow has already found the key to the Depraved Stronghold. Will he succumb to artificial checkpoints once again?

Re: VIP 4 2018 - That was fun

Man, what a journey. Overall, I remember Vip4 being a lot harder, though I guess I'm just terrible at SMW. :D As for the quality of the hack, it's not perfect, but you can definitely do a lot worse, especially considering it was released in 2008. In terms of the wave of collab hacks released in 2008...

Please tell me it went better than the final episode of Vip3. I hope no commenters end up threatening bodily harm on the level designer this time.

Re: VIP 4 2018 - I saw this LPer die when going above the ceiling. What did he hit?

This level... I am so jealous that you managed to beat it in just 1 hour. It took me about 5. Granted, I had never played the Missingno room before (due to me not being good enough to get the secret exit of Boon’s Mechanism Mansion), and didn’t know you could just hold jump. So about 3 of those hour...

Re: VIP 4 2018 - Too many water stages

This level made me feel bad too. There's just something about trying to keep still in tiny areas surrounded by spikes that makes me nervous. This level took me a while to beat.

Btw, next level's secret exit is a royal pain in the ass.

Holy crap, is this the same raocow who had to put a savestate down during the first half of Depraved Stronghold? I found this level WAY worse. Really? I can't say for sure because I haven't played this level, but this seems a great deal easier. It reminds me of a TSRPR2 level, but is slightly longe...

Re: VIP 4 2018 - Could it be that the first half doesn't actually have a switch? I've looked everywhere

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CqqSgEOBh4 And with world 7 finished, we’re done with the part of the game that’s actually beatable. :D Well okay, I’m not gonna say the last few levels are impossible, but don’t be surprised if some parts take more than one recording session for even half a level. ...
