super cute & fun lil game <3
(even if lot of it is just recycled content from the oracle games & four swords lol)
i love elzo.
links hat hair is cute.
its funny how the cats wiggle before they swipe at minish link lol
i wanna live in a minish home.
lots of fun gameplay i dont really have many major complaints really which is nice. it can be tricky to figure some stuff out but its not too unfair really.
the shell collecting for the figurines is not critical but it is really stupid! luckily i played with the switch’s save restore points thingy to cheat the system otherwise that would be an insufferable grind and id have given up trying to find endless shells.
getting the mirror shield from biggoran is really dumb because its a post game thing so it doesnt matter at that point because theres nothing left to do and it takes forever to wait for it🙄
wait… biggoran... big… goran… 😑 not sure why it took me that long to realize that.
anyways loved this game. i shouldnt have overlooked it and delayed playing it for so long.

gens 1-3: best
gens 4, 6, 7: meh
gens 5, 8, 9: foul
do i actually like this game? or have i just stockholm syndromed myself into liking it because im so desperate for pokemon content beyond the anime and twitter fan art lol whatever
played on my iphone with that new emulator because fuck nintendo for not selling this game on the app store. theyre not only evil theyre also stupid lmao
gen 3 really had the peak art design for this series. i hate the faux 3d thing they did on the ds its tacky looking. and i dont have anything to add to the discourse of all those switch games and their complete lack of art design lol
it sucks that gen 2 wasnt remade for this gba era :/
gen 3 does a better job at soft rebooting the series than gen 5 because it doesnt get rid of the old pokemon it creates ones of equal quality alongside the new ones which i respect more. gen 5 had tacky ugly designs and the fact that they had to get rid of the old ones and force players to engage with the new ones is just cowardly.
maybe the gameplay is better and has more gimmicks i wouldnt know. but i dont really care much lol
trade evolutions and version exclusive pokemon are still incredibly stupid game design choices and ill never not fucking hate it. like i cant accept difficult gameplay but having some things be actually impossible without buying more shit or happening to have someone to interact with is so rotten.
also not being able to change the nicknames of traded pokemon is really stupid. god you just never can truly win with these stupid games! so much arbitrary bullshit from letting me fully enjoy them.
still dont understand why these games dont have the villain teams taking over the gyms and you have to liberate towns from them? why am i battling civilians its such boring motivation-less low stakes
fuck gens 4-9 for sticking to same battling gameplay schtick. this shouldve been the end of that routine. its so tired and played out and they never surpassed this game anyways.
gen 4 was when the series shouldve truly started to experiment with the gameplay more. they shouldve put their resources into that ranger series or something else. do the ds games even utilize the touch screen really in ways that matter? lol whatever

a haunted town setting mightve worked better for the theming. its kinda dumb when they run out of ideas for the hotel and start doing random locations like why is there a museum and a movie studio in there? just have the elevator travel around the town teleporting to other buildings with the goal being to still get to the top of the hotel.
LOVE gooigi lmao

such an incredible game.
sorta goofy and confusing to get into at first but when i did it was super thrilling and fun.
besides the final boss, my issues are mostly nitpicks i guess.
the treasure alarm sound is very annoying and couldve been a more pronounced onscreen visual setting option.
there shouldve been a reset sublevel button feature in the game menu instead of just physically shutting the game off and resetting it after making some grave mistake lol then if its an in game option the game could track how many times you reset the game for your endgame totals lol then your could really brag about how truly good you were at the game lol
maybe youre just meant to focus solely on the gameplay and not think too deep about the setting of the caves but theyre are often kinda bland and ugly looking visually with nonsense void rooms that somehow connect to each other through dirt holes? even tho some of them are metal/wood so how does that work? i wish it meshed more to be more immersive like the other games are. like why is there a kindergarten room in a cave? its a cute setting but none of it makes sense. maybe there couldve been magic space portals instead of dirt holes to explain all that lol whatever
but i wish the caves individually each had 1 singular consistent look for all their sublevels. its always random what theme itll be and it makes them all blend together too easily and i cant tell them apart by the names really.
the final boss sucks.
theres no health bar? its too dark and you cant see what youre doing, and the electricity instantly kills your non yellow pikmin which the other hazards dont do for other colors. its the only gameplay aspect that stops this game from being a perfect 5 star game for me. oh well
still loved this a lot tho. it was nice to remember what it feels like to play a real game again after all the fake lazy games that the switch era has given.

not having mushroom city, double dash bowsers castle, or double dash star road sucks but ill be forever bitter they never added wario colosseum to this game. it feels so perfect for this one. when i first saw the zero gravity gimmick i thought ‘oh this would be perfect for wario colosseum!” but they just… never used it. i got excited for the dlc adding new courses and then was disappointed yet again that it was never included in favor of dumb ugly mobile game courses nobody asked for.
fuck off
i hate the tour courses in the dlc. it should be mario locations not real life city locations. i dont care about going to boring ass vancouver canada ??? fuck off. the dlc is too oversaturated with them too.
i hate how the old courses that returned in the dlc are lazy looking on the switch using the cheap tour aesthetic.
they shouldve focused on bringing over tour racer characters & outfits and not adding any of the new courses. just make new courses for the dlc in their place. the fun of returning courses is that theyre from previous generation games people liked not a game thats still making content that nobody in their right mind really cares about.
i hate the splatoon, zelda, and animal crossing characters being added in this.
im fine with the courses being themed after other series but i only want mario characters for the racers
i wish (my favorite character) thwomp was a racer :/
and the old guy from luigis mansion
and captain toad
and bring back rob the robot!
i hate that cat peach, tanooki mario, metal mario, & pink gold peach are separated characters and not different versions of their normal slots the way yoshi, shyguy, & birdo get different colors to select from. (i hate the term skins for that it sounds gross)
i wish they had the original outfit colors for mario and luigi that they had in their original game
i wish theyd added a double dash 2 person on 1 kart option. it was a nice alternative for ppl like my sister who arent as good at games lol
but whatever this is still the best mario kart obviously. i love it for being so accessible for anyone to play while still having a challenge :)

lol my cousin found this game under ice in the hockey rink parking lot and chipped the ice with his hockey stick and gave it to me lmao
i dont really care for the main premise being 'peach has melodramatic unstable emotions'
kinda messes up the sorta feminist angle they sold this on.
theyre called vibes but like.. theyre just emotions but it doesnt make sense as emotions. wheres disgust & fear? gloom has her run fast which couldve been used for fear instead. also calm is not an emotion? what? doesnt make sense.
it shouldve been elemental themed powers.
joy shouldve been air powers
rage shouldve been fire powers
gloom shouldve been water powers
calm shouldve been earth powers i guess idk
the game is fine. weirdly more challenging than i expected.
the postgame is a grind of repeating the entire game. its lame.
it should’ve had daisy as the second player with new gameplay style somehow like they usually have for luigi.
the tasks used with emotions are repetitive
the pre boss fight boss touch screen mini games are gimmicky and dumb.
theres no save notification when getting toads
the trampolines are hard to use
you have to collect every toad to fight bowser
i like the umbrella. he's cute.
