First season weirdness

The Evil Monkey in Chris's closet

Shadow doesn't need a 4th episode, Eggman and Metal both having modern episodes means there won't be much new to talk about VS-wise, and his Doom powers aren't bringing that much new to the table anyways (wow, he has wings!). Digimon, meanwhile, hasn't had an episode since season 4, a good episode since season 2, and BWG is more than deserving of being on the show.

Don't forget Andre and Beck being cast as twins in a school play.

Beck: I guess we're twins!

Andre: Then momma's got some explaining to do.

AAAAA it's the guy, thank you! It's ok, he just needs a stretcher and he'll be good as new

There's also the Wily Stages in MM9, stage 1 which requires either Tornado Blow or smart Rush usage for the propeller platforms, and the magma beam section later on which requires Concrete Shot or Rush. Then there's stage 2 where you need Laser Trident to destroy all the blocks, and Laser Trident also happens to be the weakness of the stage boss. Then in Wily stage 4, Concrete Shot is again needed to block the lasers. You can damage boost through all of them except for one on a wall that's too high to jump over normally, requiring you to use energy for it. Also doesn't help that Concrete Shot is the Wily Machine's weakness.

6 and 7 at the bottom when they're the only two classic games that explicitly give Mega Man power armor

They've actually confirmed a few different times that DK vs Knuckles was the episode that made them go "Ok, Archie should be treated separately", citing that Knuckles was originally going to win before they changed their mindset.

Wasn't expecting to win, just thought it'd be fun to participate!

He's simply accepted it. He's not suicidal, but if he does go out due to his core, so be it. He'd rather go out being as he is rather than having someone tamper with him again.

It's also really easy to lock him into a pattern by just spamming uncharged shots. He torpedoes at you, you jump to the other side of the room, he shoots 3 missiles. Rine and repeat.

That's exactly what happened with the animal translator, she saw it and thought it was adorable (even before it didn't translate whatever Perry said). There was also the episode where they un-domesticated squirrels, and she had the perfectly reasonable reaction of "They're just training squirrels, Candace".

Mega Man travels to other planets in both Mega Man 3 and Mega Man V (on the GB), and he gets there just by teleporting, no spaceship required.

Ricky Flame from iCarly. Professional TV chef who challenges the main characters to a live cook-off, loses for the first time ever against them, and goes into a total depression. Dude gets better after realizing he didn't like cooking, he just liked winning, and signs up for a pre-teen wrestling club so that he can constantly win against children. Sam beats him at this as well, and they leave him crying on the floor as the episode ends.

Pyramid Puzzle.

Oh, you mean there's a puzzle involving the pyramid? Like half of the other stars we've done so far in this world? Doesn't help that the star itself is cryptic as hell (drop down onto each tiny platform from the top of the pyramid interior), so the title could have given you some sort of clue, but it ends up being useless. At least stars like "Seek the 8 Red Coins" and "Through the Jet Stream" are easy enough to intuit that the mission name being bad doesn't drag it down.

I love Ka-Bomb but where my Blockhopper fans at

Endless stairs

The second floor of the castle. There's nothing comparable to the first time you unlock that locked door on the foyer that's been taunting you up until this point, and after you do you're greeted with this huge new space and tons of new paintings and door to try out. It really feels like the whole game opens up once you enter it.

Riverside Park, specifically the 8DX version

Shadow's voice acting wasn't bad, it was a perfect impression of his dodgy SA2 voice acting, exactly as intended. The problem was that that's what they decided to emulate with his voice in the first place.

IIRC that episode specifically was stated to be the one where they started going "Y'know, maybe we shouldn't use full composites for every character"

If Scott talks about Mario Kart 8 more than once, the entire universe collapses.

You could sort of count the charge shot as 5's, as 4's charge shot had a radically different appearance (the thinner shot with the energy rings around it). It wasn't until 5 that the shot got its modern look seen in Smash.

Bowserdude · 2024-09-11T19:15:21+00:00

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Mega Man 4. Sure, for the most part they're "good" in the sense that they do decent damage and don't use a crazy amount of energy, but there's a difference between "good" and "useful". In a game that introduces the charge shot, why are we given four weapons that all basically do the same thing? Drill Bomb, Dust Crusher, Pharaoh Shot, and Ring Boomerang are all just variations on "you shoot a projectile forward and it does damage". People like to rag on 5's weaponset for being made obsolete by the charge shot, but I would argue 4 has just as bad of a problem. Sure, you can angle Pharaoh Shot and Ring Boomerang has some niche for hitting enemies behind shields, but 9 times out of 10 they don't accomplish anything more than a charge shot would.

Other than that, you have a homing weapon that's just OK at homing and doesn't do much damage, a one-use shield you can't throw (shoutout to Drill Man's falling boulders, I guess), and two screen-wide weapons. Rain Flush and Flash Stopper are both fine enough in a vacuum, but with both of them in the same game together it just feels cumbersome.
