This reminds me. So I listen to the podcast Kongversation, cuz I like DK and Banjo Kazooie and they talk about DK and Banjo Kazooie.

But every once in a while they go on these smug tangents about how Mario games aren’t taking themselves seriously enough and how they can’t take the world building seriously and stuff like that.

If you don’t enjoy Mario that’s fine. But come on man, it’s funnee plumber fighting turtle Chungus. You aren’t supposed to take it seriously. Just have fun.

It’s the only really obnoxious part of the podcast, IMO.

Her name is Hat Kid.

Yes, her parents gave her that name. Yes, it’s on her birth certificate. Stop disrespecting her culture.
rolls eyes alright Noi.
I personally think those are all hilarious. It's supposed to be cute and silly.

It's even in the game's marketing: "A cute as heck platformer."

It's really not supposed to be taken seriously. :drshrug:
I get that it’s supposed to be silly but it’s like… the annoying kind of silly. Maybe it’s just because I’m still only in the first level but… idk. It’s very bland and very Internet-ey.

There’s still a lot of game to explore, can you at least try to get through a couple more areas?

The funny thing is that it's coming from DK and Banjo players.

Funnily enough, I think Aerith’s name is spelt wrong. It might actually be Ærith Gainsborough. I know that’s not the in-game spelling, but that’s how I imagine it being.

They should've played the mid-2000s Crash games. Talk about not taking the world building seriously, by the time Crunch started imitating Mr. T out of nowhere I checked out :yoshi:

Well it’s an indie game made from folks who probably spent a lotta time discussing Mario Sunshine on Nintendo forums as kids. They most likely grew up on internet humor.

And I think it can be pretty funny :drshrug:
I don’t. I guess I’m too jaded but like… idk it just all feels like lazy comedy.

I will. But I really wish the game had been able to hook me right away. And based on what I’ve read in reviews, I’m dreading Alpine Skylines.

Who cares if it’s lazy? It makes people laugh, doesn’t it?
Idk. Lazy comedy just always makes me groan more then laugh. I appreciate effort, even in comedy. And shifty observations and situational twists are always what make me laugh the most. So random references and silly phrases just don’t. They just feel stupid.

Well I believe there’s a place for all forms of comedy (except for bigoted stuff, obviously) so, Y’know. Agree to disagree I guess.
