My copy didn't work so I went into the disc repair shop near me. They fixed up, so I went home, popped it into my Gamecube, and regretted my life decisions

Y'know, hate on Konami all you want, but you gotta admit the team of composers they allow to shine in their games are fucking awesome. There's no reason for a TMNT game to go so fucking hard.

I fucking AMAZING collection of a solid series of games. I was more wowed by the little extras they had but it was fun nonetheless

"Yeah, Mario Kart seems easy, we can do that."

Think about it. In the year 2022, Tate Multimedia made a new game in the Kao the Kangaroo franchise, a franchise that hasn't gotten a US release since 2006. And even then, it didn't really sell too well. In my opinion, that alone gets three stars, but the fact that it's stupid and fun to play really makes the game worth it to me

I've never been so scared of walking IN MY LIFE

Game Of The Year. Actually, no, greatest game of all time

Outright Games comes back in 2022 with another undeniable classic in the form of Jojo Siwa’s Worldwide Party. As of writing this review, Outright Games has been putting game of the year after game of the year. Recently, the developer announced a sequel to their critically acclaimed point-and-go adventure game My Friend Peppa Pig, which makes me astounded at the number of undisputed masterpieces put out in such a short time.

Starring Dance Moms and J Team star Joanie Joelle Siwa, otherwise known as Jojo Siwa, Jojo Siwa’s Worldwide Party is a rhythm-platformer akin to such likes of Harmoknight, only better. The plot follows Jojo Siwa on an international tour to satisfy the musical needs of everyone in the world, dancing to her hit singles along the way.

Plotwise, WorldWide Party is nothing short of amazing. The plot may be one of the greatest pieces of media writing of all time. Nothing written in existence is even close to the caliber that Jojo Siwa wields here. But unfortunately, we don’t get enough of it. The campaign lasts for 2-3 hours give or take, but makes up for that in replay value. Every level is infinitely replayable with its interchangeable music and a plentiful amount of collectibles in the form of cosmetics. If you’re planning on gaining a 100% mark for this game, you better buckle up for a long ride because you’re going to stay inside for A WHILE!

Regarding everything else about this game, they are nothing short of masterful. The gameplay is nice and simple all the while being as complex as it can be. On top of that, there’s an ingenious gameplay loop that keeps you entertained throughout the game, making playing never boring. The game revolves around jumping and sliding to the music in the background. This keeps bringing you back over and over again by doing absolutely nothing.

The soundtrack consists of the grammy award-winning songs that we all know and love. D.R.E.A.M, High-Top Shoes, and Nonstop, all of these are songs we hear during gameplay and that’s just wonderful! These songs play on a loop on every stage, meaning you’ll never get tired of your favorite songs! Personally, my favorite song in the game is Bop, a song about the troubles of life. It provides an extremely deep insight into how our world works for kids, and I respect that a lot.

The game is a masterclass in visuals. God Of War? Forgetful. Sonic Frontiers? Looks like a kid's game. Jojo Siwa’s Worldwide Party brings the most realistic visuals OF ALL TIME to the table, and so far? Nobody in the business has ever made anything that COMES CLOSE TO THIS. Its use of stock assets really brings out the fact that anybody can create something great, just not as great as Jojo Siwa.

So overall? Jojo Siwa’s Worldwide Party is a stunning gem of a game. There’s nothing about it that can ever be topped for another 10,000 years! This game is easily the game of the year for 2022 with no competition on its back for the foreseeable future. The one thing that I can leave you with is that you should watch out for that sequel that may or may not be coming, because a sequel to a masterpiece like this will cause something great to happen.

This was the game hidden in my copy of Scott The Woz: The Mysterious Game of Crypticism

I heard people don't like this game, which is bullshit because this game is a perfectly good sequel.

The NES Port is so unbelievably janky that it makes it fun to play.

This is my first NES game on an NES Console, so I'm legally allowed to say this game is actually suprisingly fun. Not as good as the Genesis version, but nothing is better than the Genesis version

All Star is canon in the Donkey Kong universe.

I bought, played, beat, and returned this game in the span of 2 hours
