played simply because it had zenryoku shounen on the songlist, 4/10 because you have to dualboot with a gba cartridge to play it : (

can you spot the $500 gamecube game?????

i played this game with the sole intention of making fun of the stupid shit, but i didn't expect to come out the other end loving what i played and cherishing the experience, making fun of the stupid shit just comes as an extra bonus whenever i talk about it with other people

i think one of my worst moments was looking at the part in the trailer when mario picks up the flaming keyblade and deadass going "FIRE MARIO?!??!?!?!"

blind unapologetic hatred for this game is about as corny as its fanbase, that combined with the admittedly shitty way the kickstarter was handled gaslit most people into thinking this game is worse than hitler when its a perfectly serviceable rhythm game with lots of promise, perfect example of people saying "guys we've GOTTA support indie games!!!!!!" right up until they become the next viral thing

16 different dinosaurs and it still manages to have more content than your average modern mario sports game

taught me that marriage is terrible

for the record i am playing through this at the moment but it starts right here, lets see if it can manage to get any higher (1/10)

edit 1: that fight on floor 25 of tartarus made me feel alive (table battle), 3/10

edit 2: love hotel. 2/10

edit 3: boxing gloves just look positively FANTASTIC on the protag, 4/10

edit 4: he looks so fucking cool when he runs with his hands in his pockets like bro he is SO badass, 5/10

there's a decent chance this game will never be topped as the best 2d platformer in my lifetime and thats half saddening and half beautiful, not to sound like a loser but i genuinely think this is a perfect game

rhythm games dont get better than this one unfortunately, if you havent played this game before literally what are you doing that could be more important

this game is like if pikmin was a tv show, and pikmin 1 was the console tie-in game, and then this game was the one they put on gba just to say you can also play it on a handheld
