How can one Monkey Ball be better or worse than another? Isn't it all the same deal?

Imagine a monkey ball with a hub world

That is the hell Sega put us through.

Monkey Ball 2 is absolutely better than 1, though.

I think Monkey Ball was basically perfected by the time 2 came out, so anything you could add from there is guaranteed to fail. Jumping, enemies, boss battles, motion controls, Wii Balance Board...

Not a knock against any of those things. But the decision to put them in Monkey Ball was... interesting.

Okay, so normally we need to grind through each cigarette at a rate of about one per ten minutes over several years. But with this strat we're just gonna caaaarefully hold the entire box's contents in one hand and light them all at the same time to puff away. Repeating this will get us from healthy to cancerous lungs much quicker, but it's very risk-reward on being able to get ourselves healthy from there for the big experience gains in as short amount of time as possible without dying spontaneously from a heart attack.

Aaaand, the diagnosis is inoperably terminal in both lungs. Fantastic, this is just what we want! Normally we'd have to roll dice on the transplant path and see if the RNG decided to find a donor before our HP drain outpaces the medicine and life-support buffs, but there's a quicker path on this route. You see, this is why we kept spending all our social time with that one cousin instead of our friends; They're compatible for transplant organs as a backup in case we screw up on any route we take in this game aaaand we just cleared the social check to get them to offer us a lung. We'll be back on our feet and net some tidy social and EXP boosts out of doing it this way rather than living a healthy life in the same timeframe.

Now you'll notice we haven't picked up a marital partner yet in this run, and rather than mucking about in the dating sidegames, I've been using the limited social time slots to flirt with the attending nurse thanks to the empathy bonuses we get during treatment (and why I waited for the transplant option last after all the other procedures, rather than shooting right for it upon diagnosis)... Aaaand she turned us down, I should've asked BEFORE the surgery instead of after, my bad. Still, we're on life-support so it's easy enough to kill this run instead of shambling on for another 30-40 years trying to recoup the score; Just gonna reach over to pull the plug on the life-support and... there we go, flatline achieved. And that's why I filled out the DNR before surgery.

But first, we need to talk about parallel universes...

I'm gonna guess because youtube videos would make the 'game' redundant?

Maybe because it's based on a book and the book's rights-holders probably have something to do with it?

No. SMB1 is mostly dexterity challenges. A static or quickly moving stage that you have to navigate through. There's tons of room for mastery and improvement in your play. SMB2 is mostly gimmick and timing stages where you have push the right button or wait for the stage to align itself before going to the goal. There's less room for improvement, it's more about memorizing each stage's gimmick. Banana Blitz is boring, straightforward platforming challenges with a jump button.

Just get rid of it and get a new one. I hear they've got a 15-year warranty, or 20 if you got one of the good kids

No idea what to do about the Switch, sorry.

I've been enjoying River City Girls for the most part, but I've reached the fashion designer boss, and is it just me, or is there a sudden, insane difficulty spike? I've died almost 10 times already.

The trick to the bosses is to memorize the patterns for each of their "acts" and once you get a decent rhythm down, stock up on a crap ton of healing items.

leave him out in the woods to his own devices. if he survives and finds his way back to you, however, you must allow him to destroy you.

That makes sense, they don't want Animal Crossing to get overshadowed by the announcement of the Ring Fit Adventure DLC, or vice versa

It goes down to $20 on the reg, and frankly that's about what it's worth

The music is still great on not-tinny-DS-speakers and the story is still pretty engaging in 2020 but the controls made me drop it as soon as I got to endgame

My girlfriend's preorder of the animal crossing switch at Target was just cancelled. She's pretty unhappy about it as animal crossing is really the only series she cares about. What would be the best way to procure one? Brickseek.com closer to release date and camp at a store that's shown to have one?
