I've been waiting for this game to come out ever since I first heard about it, and it's finally here! I knew that a certain bovine would also be playing this game, but I couldn't resist doing an LP of this one anyways. Hopefully there are some parties who want to see a second take of this game.

I get about halfway through world 2 in this episode. Progress is still pretty fast at this point.

The difficulty is starting to pick up a bit now. The levels aren't hard yet, but they're hard enough that I'm not clearing many without deaths. Or maybe I was just playing badly. That's always a possibility.

If my videos were monetized, this would probably get de-monetized based on the title alone...

I almost didn't die in this one. Almost.

Now I'm remembering why jank is in the title of this game.

Stupid OBS...

I was not on point in several of these levels. The levels today were very straightforward and faithful to their gimmicks.

Let's get this show on the road again.

Finally got rid of that annoying buzzing noise!

I get a nifty new fire Mario upgrade and end up in a level that puts bouncy castles to shame.

Time to clean up some secrets and levels that I didn't realize existed until now.

This ended up a little longer than anticipated because I couldn't cut as much out as I expected to.

Boy was I half asleep while recording this. The time it took me to figure out the puzzle in the storehouse was simply embarrassing. And even then, I forgot that I could simply fly with a cape after doing it two seconds earlier and instead "cheesed" the puzzle in a stupid fashion. The great thing about editing is that I can cut most of that out so that nobody wakes up their neighbours by yelling at the screen.

Perhaps surprisingly, the ice world isn't going too badly so far. At least the ghost house is warm. :)

Hooray for actually being able to solve puzzles today. I barely had to cut anything out from the blue switch palace.

If it seems like it ended suddenly, it's because I decided to cut the last level I played out of the video. I wasn't sure how long the footage for Colour a Yoshi would be.

Do All Pilots Wear Capes is one of my favourite levels in this hack so far. It's not very often that a level is built around capes because they are so strong in this game. But this one worked very well!

This is definitely getting near the endgame now. Caution needs to be taken in every level at this point.

I finally managed to cross the 100 level barrier!

That Athletic was, indeed, very impetuous.

I'm sure that second level would have gone much better if I was following the context clues. Other than that, things went surprisingly well for endgame content.

I'm pretty happy with my playing in the second level. Less happy with my puzzle solving in the first...

This is definitely one of the more intricate multi-room levels that I've seen. It takes some of Shattered Dreams' concepts like solving puzzles to find hidden rooms and shakes it up a bit by not telling you where or what the puzzles are. Luckily, I was on the ball this time and managed to sniff them out, making my trip through the castle significantly easier.

Bowser's Castle is intricate and large enough that even the cleanup takes a fair bit of time.
