Clam City: In a secret area near the Clambo at 0:58
Bumble B. Rumble: Hand-slam the center of the arena
Collect 600 tokens in Winky's bonus area (success!)

So here's something fun: Bumble B. Rumble was changed in the GBA version! For one, Queen B. only ever moves in the wave pattern, but the major difference is that before returning to yellow, she summons a shield of Zingers that you have to defeat before being able to hurt her again. Each hit will summon a different shield formation. In addition, only one barrel spawns at a time, in a random location.

So, yeah, she's significantly harder in the port! Lots of bosses have changes, like Very Gnawty jumping to the opposite edge of the map when it gets hit, but Queen B. is the most obvious (and the hardest boss in the game, in my opinion. Bumble B. Rumble was my wall when I was a kid.).

That's actually a lot more interesting than the SNES version, good on them.

The Zinger summoning does remind me of that janky Zinger boss from Super Mario LD that shot Zingers everywhere

I completely forgot what Winky's bonus room even looked like, to be honest. But then again, I was actively avoiding those animal tokens later on because they felt more like a punishment.

Also tomorrow

is gonna be the most beautiful stage in the game and sadly also the only one of its kind.

I'm trying to find out how to make mandew's post the op one but I can't seem to figure it out. I deleated the first post by super mak's request, which, fair enough.

It was my fault for mishandling the situation and I apologize.

It strikes me as the sort of thing that's potentially funny when you already know what's going on, but mildly-annoying to frustrating if you don't. People enjoy a running joke when it draws an in-group line with themselves on the "in on it" side.

I mean, I saw that there were frog statues, but until today I never even thought about the existence of Winky's bonus room...

I think the title gimmick for the lp is obvious enough, but any particular reason the verses are all over the place, or is it just whatever's relevant?

FourteenthOrder · Post by **FourteenthOrder** » 5 years ago

Slipslide Ride is a level that, when I was a kid, never gave me much trouble. And then I came back to the game not too long ago in competition with my brother and it kind of did, which really surprised me.

Anyway, I love the atmosphere there, it's so weird it's used nowhere else. The atmosphere in the outdoor snow levels is also super cool, though.

When I was a child, I used to call Expresso "Useless McBird". And when I say "as a child", I mean I still do as an adult. Because he's useless and a bird. The end.

reverse rope climbing reminds me of the times i go up on down escalators because i got on them by accident and i dont want to go all the way down just to go back up (its my Quirk)

they also all seem to be lines about DK specifically

i thought he was a girl

Post by **Kilgamayan** » 5 years ago

I always thought Winky was a girl myself, but apparently not! A quick flip through the Mario Wiki suggests that Ellie (DKC3) and Orco (Jungle Beat) are the only female animal friends, though Flurl is only ever referred to as "it", which seems rather rude, and the Helibirds aren't specified.

Slipside Ride: At the top of a rope to the left of the N letter
Ice Age Alley: After the ropes after the midpoint, between the second and third ice cliff
Croctopus Chase: After the midpoint, play until you use the next set of Barrel Cannons, then swim into the gap above them and to the left to find a secret room

More Fun Facts: Croctopus Chase and Ice Age Alley swapped places on the map in the GBA port for some reason. And speaking of the maps, they're very different in the port! They also scroll. Take that, SNES. Here's a Gorilla Glacier comparison, followed with the others.

MonkeyShrapnel · Post by **MonkeyShrapnel** » 5 years ago

The reason Expresso got hurt by the Klaptrap is because when Expresso lands from flapping his wings, he lands with his body close to the ground, close enough that the Klaptrap could hurt him. So you have to be careful with that.

A fair number of levels changed places in the GBA port ever since world 3, presumably because the layout of the physical maps changed.
