From both the difficulty and the bizarre tonal shift I feel like a shoe just dropped. Like we entered the second half of Evangelion or something and everything is significantly weirder and harsher now.

i know there's a difficulty spike but some of this was inexcusable
I attribute this to the game catching raocow off-guard. You can really feel his confusion even at the very end of the video. The shift in difficulty was jarring to him due to how uncharacteristic it was. Also, I'm pretty sure that since this LP started, raocow went in every video expecting this game to be his "easygoing chill time" for the day.

To say it's inexcusable would be blind to this reality. Dude just wasn't prepared, and honestly, the game didn't prepare him for this.
To say it's inexcusable is also a fucking bizarre-ass thing to say about something like "not playing Mario excellently". That's almost excusable by default
Well it is a decent hack but sometime its just too repetitif there no level that actually pop in your face and your like oh yeah that level they all ressemble themselves and just monster along the way.

by inexcusable i mean completely baffling

like somehow not catching onto white muncher = instadeath for a bit and jumping off yoshi after it had been established that doing so kills you, and not even as a reflex.

What's the deal with 4.27?

I'm honestly confused about this level, like it's so out-of-place, weird difficulty spike, has enemies without eyes, and 4.27 text in the background. I wonder if it's some sort of in-joke?

I feel like this game just became a bit more reminiscent of A2MT somehow.

April 27th is my birthday. Maybe I should be worried for it next year? O.o

It's also the day I made my talkhaus account, as a present to myself :3

Yeah, when there message boxes that say "Dont leave Yoshi" and "Don't touch the White Munchers", and rao does them anyways.

The first three quarters of the game gradually climbed from a 5 to an 8, then in two levels it casually steps up to 60. That's baffling, and enough to explain raocow's mistakes

Taking some time to catch on to the munchers is understandable. The message boxes aren't actually terribly clear and Yoshi normally makes you immune to munchers unless touches from the side. Though raocow did initially touch them from the side anyways. And the latter one was a pretty obvious brain fart. The level wasn't doing a great job at communicating things so raocow did the only thing that seemed logical while overlooking an important detail. It happens. Can't expect someone to be 100% 100% of the time, especially when the difficulty spike so clearly catches them off-guard like that.

No. It was METAL BARN.

Also, that numbering on Calamitous Koopas is my bad. Somehow I put 2 on it even though it's supposed to be 3, and it wasn't caught in two seperate rounds of testing.
Oh well, that'll go in the update I suppose.

Don't blame yourself for that 2nd level. It didn't look very well designed.

I, personally, cannot wait until raocow uses "New Age Retro Hippie" as the label for one of these videos

at least I'm hoping he does :3

For some reason child me saw them as both. Like, "because they don't have arms, clearly they must use their ears as arms."

Super weird thought now, but

I always saw it as long hair. Even now I kinda still have to squint to remind myself it's arms.

Same with the bullet bills, I can't help but see their arms as a side-grin
