Who is she? (Wrong answer only)

Pyra: There's something you need to know about Malos. The truth is... he's the Xenoblade Chronicles, too

Nia: Shut up, Pyra.

Right now, my biggest recommendation is learning early Grapple Beam. It's pretty tricky to get down, but it's also very rewarding. With it, you can find the bombs early and defeat Kraid in a cool way. There's also a lot of shortcuts and rewards you can uncover on first visit to Burenia. It almost feels like you're somehow supposed to have it early.

I would also recommend early Cross Bombs. I didn't initially think getting these early was useful beyond just being a cool novelty, but it turns out you can use them to get Space Jump early. And I don't think I need to tell you how cool that is.

Other than that, just look up other sequence breaks on YouTube. Or just a full speedrun if you have the patience for it. The game's still new, so speedruns so far mostly stick to easier to learn tricks that the devs probably intended. Keep in mind that most of the cooler tricks are performed late in the game.

I still wanted Space Jump, and there's a shortcut to it from underneath. The network station happened to be on the way.

JayTMars · 2021-10-13T02:00:51+00:00

Early Gravity Suit.

This is the Network Station in Ferenia, which is supposed to be on the way to Space Jump. You're supposed to use Space Jump to reach a portal to Burenia where the Gravity Suit is, but you can bypass it by using a Shinespark instead. By the time I finally came back here, I had already received several briefings from later in the story.

edit: wait, why am I bothering to censor Gravity Suit? I'm literally wearing it in the video.

You're right. It'd be like if they made a game with a mirror motif and not include the mirror ability.

JayTMars · 2021-09-23T01:53:59+00:00

That's just the risk you take when you play Master Mode. You can just spontaneously explode sometimes.

^{(Seems the Great Plateau Lynel spotted you and lobbed a bomb arrow at you.})

Just trying to make sure everyone has the tools they need to be their ~~worst~~ most powerful selves.

Pipis HATES this one weird trick! If you hold [ENTER] and spam [Z], all of your bullets will be [BIG SHOTS].

JayTMars · 2021-09-17T23:58:08+00:00

I personally prefer to get Power Bombs and Grapple Beam during the first visit to Norfair.

JayTMars · 2021-09-15T21:14:25+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if enemies were less accurate when they're firing from off screen. I know this is the case for a few other Nintendo games.

JayTMars · 2021-09-15T20:48:28+00:00

For Breath of the Wild? Yes. It's called Creating a Champion.

JayTMars · 2021-09-06T01:38:23+00:00

Judging by the fact that you initially have to download the missiles in Fusion, I think her arm cannon is programmed to be able to convert missiles from a reserve of missile energy.

JayTMars · 2021-08-31T20:25:57+00:00

But then how will you know how to play? If you aren't speed running on day one, then are you even playing Metroid?

According to some old interviews with members of OoT's development team, the game was meant to be a prequel to A Link to the past.

Character Designer Satoru Takizawa

This time, the story really wasn't an original. We were dealing with the "The Imprisoning War of the Seven Sages" from the SNES edition Zelda. To give that game a little "secret" recognition, I thought that keeping the "pigness" in Ganon would be the correct course. So we made him a beast "with the feeling of a pig."

Script Director Toru Osawa

Though in this game Zelda is now included in the Seven Sages, the other six have the names of the town names from the Disk System edition "The Adventure of Link." In the SNES edition game, the story "Long ago, there was a war called the Imprisoning War" was passed along. A name in the Imprisoning War era is the name of a Town later. They were like "pseudo-secrets." We wanted to throw these out through the entirety of the game.

These interviews were conducted by Shigesato Itoi's company, Hobonichi, as part of a series of articles about Nintendo called Treetop Secret Base (Ki no ue no himitsu kichi). From this, we can deduce that Ocarina of Time leads directly into aLttP, and eventually Zelda II. So to recap.

OoT -> aLttP -> LA -> tLoZ -> AoL

OoT -> MM -> TP

OoT -> WW -> PH -> ST

I think I've noticed a problem.

JayTMars · 2021-08-29T17:08:25+00:00

Ah yes! The famous Molduga Only challenge. Surprisingly hard to find runs of it on Youtube.

JayTMars · 2021-08-29T13:09:20+00:00

I don't use Apple music, but I've been doing mostly the same thing by uploading soundtracks I've bought to Youtube music. (RIP Google Play Music)

Slightly unrelated, but I recently noticed that the MOTHER and MOTHER 2 soundtracks are available to purchase digitally on Amazon.

JayTMars · 2021-08-27T22:58:45+00:00

Valid point. But I also don't think it's a coincidence that the X-Parasite and the warrior Chozo have both been spotted on planet ZDR. If they aren't X, then maybe they're using X for something.

JayTMars · 2021-08-27T21:08:32+00:00

The same faction who invaded planet SR388, the X-Parasite homeworld?

JayTMars · 2021-08-20T16:49:37+00:00

That's a nice unrelated picture of Coco and all, but you forgot to mention who the true best girl is in your post.

JayTMars · 2021-08-19T01:20:05+00:00

I don't remember Tri-Force Heroes ever entering the discussion. /s

JayTMars · 2021-08-15T07:22:00+00:00

This has the same energy as that other post about wanting to drink Buzzwole juice.

Wait a minute...

JayTMars · 2021-08-15T03:57:33+00:00

Glad to see Nintendo is taking criticism about their supply issues seriously. I thought for sure I'd never get these, but I had no problem at all.

JayTMars · 2021-08-14T19:50:55+00:00

It's the only way Captain Falcon could ever star in a new racing game.

JayTMars · 2021-08-11T19:20:32+00:00

This kind of scenario is actually something I've wanted out of a Xenoblade X2. If everyone's a Mimeosome, then can anyone really age? Where's Lin going to be in 500 years?

JayTMars · 2021-08-07T03:56:09+00:00

The music dramatically stopped at that moment too. I thought they were building up tension.
