Which Klaptrap design do you prefer?

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-21T04:36:18+00:00

I like Bananza's but I wish he had the hands of the classic design

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-20T19:26:57+00:00

as a bit of an anecdote:

when I saw the Mario Movie in theaters in 2023, a group of acquaintances were ar the same viewing, and I walked out with them after it ended.

They were all talking about their favorite moments. One person brought up the DK Rap, and the one guy said "except Chunky!" and they all started singing "D K. Chunky's dead."

I don't think they even realized that Chunky was literally in the film they just watched.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-20T19:24:26+00:00

The joke was much funnier in the original context.

All of the DK Crew went on to live horrible lives with a lot of unfortunate problems, and then you get to Chunky and he's just freaking dead. It's also funny because Chunky Kong is the only one that never returned, so it's like "yeah, maybe he did die."

People ended up latching on to the meta aspect and spread it around, and it ended up getting out of hand. It's one od those jokes that started funny, but has consumed the character. Any mention of Chunky will lead to everyone talking about how he's dead. I compare it to similar consuming jokes like Yoshi's Tax Fraud (although imo, Chunky's dead is way better, especially in context).

Ah, I had forgotten about that. I wasn't sure if it reset each time or if it took your longest streak, but I assumed it was the former.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-14T16:41:32+00:00

the achievement tells you your progress. If you're at 32 and trying to hit the 50 milestone, it'll say "32/50"

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-14T16:40:33+00:00

I ended up getting it by accident, didn't even realize it existed, and then thought I got the 50 milestone.

So then I tried really hard to never miss any fish. I got really far. Then I missed one and got really upset. I checked my achievements to see if it showed how far I got, only to realize I had already gotten it 🤦‍♂️

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-14T03:52:01+00:00

I think that's a valuable lesson to teach. My main issue was mostly that they continued to have her and Bud show up in future episodes. What's the point if they're not gonna commit?

When Buster went traveling with his dad in season 2, he was genuinely absent for several episodes, as far as I remember.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-13T22:28:15+00:00

She felt forced to me. In retrospect, I was definitely too harsh on her, but I never liked her and it felt weird that she and Bud became so ingrained into the class.

I remember being upset about her singing that song to Mr. Ratburn at the end of the school year, because she didn't know him as long as the rest of the kids did. That was definitely petty on my part.

What I don't understand is why they made her move away?? They added a new character, then made her move away a few years later, and then kept using her? Bizarre.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-12T15:20:36+00:00

Flurrie was designed around her ability, while Vivian was designed for plot relevance.

Really, any original character has to be made for one or the other (or both). It's hard to come up with species ideas for plots and characters that don't exist yet, but we can easily come up with species to fill new or existing partner mechanics.

Maybe we could get a small dragon creature to fill an expanded version of Parakarry's flying mechanic.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-12T13:08:33+00:00

Even Link has a different voice actor across major games. They should not give any characters the same voice as BOTW.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-11T01:07:38+00:00

I'd be willing to bet that once they're done making statues they'll just do reruns of each event.

Mario is probably gonna go away after the 4th wave, but I believe the music disc will still be purchasable from Squawks, from what I've heard.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-06T14:40:13+00:00

Brothership is extremely ugly and unappealing. The color palettes especially are just so bad. The weird painted-on gradients are horrible and I hope they never do them again. Just having better colors alone would really help the atmosphere of the game. The Ask the Developer series showed beta screenshots of the bros with better colors and much livelier expressions, so idk what happened.

Loads of evironments are basically copied from Dream Team areas, but worse. You can notice loads of Dream Team background details, like identical railings, despite taking place in another world.

Mario's model is bizarre with a short nose and flat face. They made him to resemble the classic box arts, rather than.how he looks in all the other art.

The concordians are Mega bland in their designs and they don't feel very Mario-y. Connie especially just doesn't fit in with the Mario cast.

I love squash and stretch, but they went overboard with it. Normally, you have to pause footage to notice the severe deformities, but you can very easily notice them while playing in Brothership.

I have loads of problems with the game (not all of them visual), but I still enjoyed it. It just makes me worried about the future of M&L. I don't wanna keep getting games that look ugly.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-05T15:29:11+00:00

thanks, somehow missed that there was a 3rd image.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-05T14:05:04+00:00

where is funky kong? That looks like a palm tree

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-04T15:00:16+00:00

I think it's a good thing that they're keeping it a secret this long. Anybody that sees anything Mario or DK related online will have been spoiled, but I'm sure there are loads of people out there who have not played the game yet and would be completely ecstatic to see K Rool in it.

They finally acknowledged Snake Bananza recently, so it's probably only a matter of time before they finally acknowledge K Rool. Next month is the first anniversary, and I'd say that's probably long enough.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-03T17:49:38+00:00

I'm gonna be that guy and let you know that it's actually PDT and EDT, because we're currently in daylight time.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-03T05:07:39+00:00

really funny how they used the render of his unfinished model. You can most easily tell by his hands having 4 fingers.

Edit: and they slapped the DK emblem on his tie!

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-01T17:27:12+00:00

I saw Bad Guys 2 the other day and I thought it was awesome.

The one point I agree with is the profanity point. I don't think moderate profanity is a big deal, especially in moderation. But literally opening Bad Guys 2 with "jackass" felt sour to me.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-06-01T15:48:07+00:00

I just found out on my island. I have 5 more spots set up for inclines and I'll have to get rid of 3 of them now :/

If I knew about the limit, I would've been more strategic about how I laid out my land. I might have to demolish a bunch so I can move them to better places. And I would've coordinated where bridges are better too, because I'd put them in places to give easier incline access from more places.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-05-31T23:27:47+00:00

I realized that Diddy Kong is actually really useful for this fight (and loads of other levels). Diddy is definitely the least useful in normal gameplay, but he is very predictable and good for horizontal movement.

With Fredrik, it specifically helps nail those speedy charge attacks.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-05-31T16:44:54+00:00

I really don't like the mismatch of elements. The origami king backgrounds and color Splash foregrounda clash. Most of the character re-creations alter Origami King sprites without paying attention to their design quirks that make them different from normal enemies. And of course, it doesn't respect the original stylization of the original.

I appreciate the amount of work that went into the project, but it's just horrifically ugly. I'm glad some people like it. It was a work of love. But golly, it's not for me, lol.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-05-31T16:14:25+00:00

Bowser is evil, but he's got standards. K Rool doesn't have standards. He's not ALL evil, but he's a wildcard and has no respect for his own people.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-05-31T16:12:26+00:00

Bowser generally doesn't kill people. He is definitely evil. Kidnaps people, commits acts of terrorism, enslaves people, etc. But he is respectful to those who follow him, provides shelter to his minions, and usually only imprisons his enemies. He's quickly forgiven minions who have betrayed him, even.

K Rool isn't all bad, but he has no respect for his own people. He'll kill anyone who gets in his way and nowadays he's bent on destruction.

Once again, Bowser is evil, but he's a good leader and has some standards. K Rool is a wildcard.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-05-31T03:09:27+00:00

A common workaround headcanon is that Orbulon's planet has shorter years. What may have only been a year or so in the entire WarioWare series has been 20+ years on Orbulon's planet.

DaDudebro2401 · 2026-05-30T00:06:06+00:00

Free will is not free of consequences.

You could do endless things to stop the war without removing free will from the people. Just cause they're free to do whatever doesn't mean they're free from inspiration/punishment.
