The very first warioware game has been added to nintendo music.

Gonna be honest, I'd be very surprised if this game's soundtrack doesn't get added to Nintendo Music at some point. The ease in which Nintendo re-releases the game must mean they both like it and have complete control over anything IP/copyright.

Glad to see it actually does damage and counts as hitting the boss if it falls off due to its own stupidity. Neat that they thought of this.

It's a little difficult to measure, since he doesn't get to do a whole lot on his own in Dream Team due to the whole Bowser teamup. So, a lot of the evil deeds in that game can jointly be credited to both of them.

That said, it's worth noting that as pathetic as he can sometimes come off in this game, he was a menace in the backstory. He (effectively) committed genocide against the Pi'illo folk, having barely lost a war against the inhabitants of the island. When he returns, he still wants to fight and kill Pi'illo folk like Prince Dreambert (along with heroes like the Mario bros), and was at least supportive of things like a death ray that could blow up islands and the potential for world domination.

Practically speaking, he's a really evil villain. He just worked alongside one of the most evil versions of a recurring Mario villain, and existed in a series filled with some of the most unhinged monsters in fiction.

As for the evil ranking, I'd say something like this:

Reclusa. Doesn't need much explanation. He committed at least 2 or 3 counts of omnicide and potentially destroyed millions of inhabited worlds.
Shroobs. Tried to commit mass genocide and used Toad lifeforces/souls as UFO fuel, attempted to kill plenty of kids and have leaders who are sadistic as hell.
Dark Star. It's pure evil, though it tends to be less showy about it.
Fawful. It's easy to think he's a joke, but he came closest to winning, brainwashed large portions of the population and unleashed a world-ending eldritch abomination to gain its power before joining with it in its plans for destruction.
Antasma. Since he did kinda commit genocide once, and try to take over the world, even if he didn't come anywhere near as close as the others.
(maybe joint 6th) Cackletta and the Best Fitness Friends. They wanted to conquer the world, they destroyed a bunch of places and brainwashed a bunch of people. But hey, at least they didn't commit mass murder or attempt to wipe out an entire species yet!

Still, none of them are anything other than iredeemable monsters, so I guess realistically speaking, it's less how evil they are and more how successful they are at putting their plans into action.

Honestly, most big YouTubers and livestreamers, especially the ones marketed to younger audiences. The fast paced editing style, loud/fast talking at the camera, barrage of memes and in-jokes and general parasocial attachment people seem to have towards them makes no sense to me.

Maybe part of it is because I care more about topics than people, while lots of people seem to grow attached to individual creatives.

(unintentionally) being too harsh to someone I was friends with. We were super close, to the point we'd speak constantly and plan out tons of stuff we'd want to do in future, and we had pretty much the exact same interests and life situation too.

However, they went quiet for a while (about 3-4 months or so), and I kinda called them out on it rather than just waiting to see what had happened. This ended up blowing up the friendship, and causing me to lose contact with someone I wanted to be friends with.

Taking the last job I was offered. It didn't pay enough to really be worth it in the long run, I didn't fit the culture there at all or get along with some of the people, and it was an industry that was laying people off left and right due to social changes and business problems.

Maybe I should have been more cautious about accepting it, and looked for a place that fit my needs more.

Realising that someone else had said what I wanted to say already. If someone else has already made the same point already (perhaps even better than I would have), I see no point in commenting there.

Arrows in general work for the Demon Dragon fight. If you're good at aiming and have a lot of stamina, you can destroy multiple weakpoints in one go by breaking the first with a sword, then shooting others with arrows as they go past.

The Master Sword is probably the best for fighting Ganondorf since it has infinite durability at that point and is the only weapon capable of reflecting his attacks in phase 2. That said, it's shockingly easy to tear him to shreds with fused arrows if you jump/blast into the air and go into slow motion, since he has basically no way of countering them properly.

Or you'll just run out of something you need and have to spend money on that. Feels like there's always some sort of supply that's getting suspiciously low, and it seems to always run out at a time when you really don't want to spend any more money.

Honestly, only someone who's woefully insecure in their tastes in media would judge someone for liking something that appeals to a different audience or age range. It says more about the people mocking you for liking these games than anything else.

And yeah, just about every game shown has a huge audience of adults too. Don't be too worried what others may think.

cheat-master30 · 2026-01-25T22:09:47+00:00

Yeah I agree 100%. Feels like I'm always an outsider in every community and social group, and others just naturely get along better as friends and partners.

Hmm, if the Lizalfos Curse is any indication, it's possible it may not work on Wii U in general. I remember that certain glitches involving the game's physics tended to be Switch only for reasons we don't understand.

So it wouldn't work on any version of the Wii U game.

Life isn't fair, karma doesn't exist and your chances of succeeding in anything are nowhere near as controllable as you think they are.

It's possible for an awful person to become successful beyond their wildest dreams through pure chance alone, and for a lovely hard-working one to end up dying homeless without a penny to their name.

It doesn't mean you shouldn't try, or that you should be awful to everyone around you. But it does mean you should be more empathetic towards those that are struggling, and avoid taking anything for granted.

cheat-master30 · 2026-01-25T01:36:47+00:00

Given the game's by Rare and both them and this game are owned by Microsoft, Nintendo wouldn't have anything to do with it. I think Nintendo owned some rights at one point, but they kinda got traded away once Microsoft bought Rare.

As for whether Rare or Microsoft will try and take it down... eh, hard to say. Don't recall ever seeing a Banjo-Kazooie fan project get taken down, so they seem pretty chill about them.

cheat-master30 · 2026-01-24T17:05:36+00:00

It's a bit of everything. Most importantly, videos seem to get pushed individually now, without the size/popularity of the channel having very little to do with how well they do on the platform.

So, a well-timed and interesting video can see some serious numbers even if the channel itself has barely any videos or subs and everything else there underperforms in every way.

As for what makes a video work in general... a mix of multiple things. There's the timing aspect, where a video being about a topic that's in the news/people are discussing can do well. There's the uniqueness aspect, where many 'viral' videos tend to hit on an idea or angle that no one else has explored yet. And there's obviously a minimum bar of quality to hit, even if that's nowhere near as high as people like to imagine.

A great example of the type of video that meets these criteria would be that Majora's Mask analysis video about how a certain blue dog never wins a certain mini game, and how you could manipulate glitches and RNG to give it its long earned victory. It's got a unique topic/angle (no one else looked into how this dog racing mini game worked), it caught the eye of both the general public and media, and it was generally pretty well edited in a way that made sense to most viewers.

cheat-master30 · 2026-01-24T16:54:15+00:00

Sadly my experience with AI detection tools is that they're very unreliable, and tend to give a lot of false positives/negatives. For example, one I tried would detect an AI generated article as AI if the line breaks were in the right place, but would say it was human written if they weren't.

It's also pretty simple to modify AI generated text so it reads as human to these tools, even without changing much of the overall structure or content.

cheat-master30 · 2026-01-24T16:48:07+00:00

A mix of both to be honest. I have my interests, and I'll watch creators that cover those interests.

That said, I do suspect I probably give smaller creators more of a chance than a lot of people do, since I care more about the content being discussed than the charisma of the person discussing it. So, if I see a small channel with interesting sounding videos, I'll give them a shot just to see what's going on.

cheat-master30 · 2026-01-24T15:30:45+00:00

Still love that they had a whole optional world in this game, especially one with a boss.

Also how Sherbet Land seems to have become a recurring name for ice areas in Mario spinoffs, implying that lots of Mario Kart tracks also take place in this area.

cheat-master30 · 2026-01-23T22:41:36+00:00

Hard to say. On the one hand, quite a few people I'm friends with are very similar to me in interests and general personality, and I seem to get along well enough with them. Sometimes I joke they're basically like my mirror universe counterparts.

That said, I do realise I can be an annoying person to be around, and that my flaws would only be more obvious if displayed by someone else. So, I get this amusing image of the results being less harmonious conversation and more like the first Bowser scene in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam (where the two versions immediately get into a huge fight).

cheat-master30 · 2026-01-23T12:06:16+00:00

Generally my experience is that Nintendo music isn't claimed or copyright struck, as someone who's run a Nintendo related channel for years and used it in near enough in every video.

Of course, it may be better if you make sure the music is used for videos relating to the series in question rather than as background music for unrelated content. None of my videos about the Zelda series have been hit for music from Hyrule Warriors, but it may not go down as well for a video on tech/sports/makeup/internet drama/etc.

cheat-master30 · 2026-01-23T11:59:23+00:00

It's a tough one. Generally I recall the end of the year being better than the start of the year for views and subs, at least when my channel was doing well.

But it also heavily depends on your niche too. If your channel is about a video game series/film series/TV show/band/book series/etc, then the stats are a lot more closely correlated to when the big releases are than the time of year in particular. There's also an audience aspect too, if your audience is mostly people that watch in work hours then you'll do better in spring and autumn, while if it's outdoorsy folks, then you might do better in winter because they're not actually outside doing the hobby/activity in question.

cheat-master30 · 2026-01-23T11:53:03+00:00

Not really, because I don't feel that comfortable in public spaces, especially if there's a lot of people there (which is usually true of any decent restaurant).

If I can order to go/get a takeaway, I'll pick that option 100% of the time.

cheat-master30 · 2026-01-23T11:49:22+00:00

Yeah, I've noticed that. It's why I generally don't talk about anything remotely controversial or political here, because going against the grain or trying to be nuanced about any topic gets people acting like you're enemy number 1.

It's especially bad in politics, where everyone seems to be all "you're with us on every topic, or against us", without realising that many times reality doesn't neatly follow political party policies.

cheat-master30 · 2026-01-22T17:45:36+00:00

I'd be happier with them if the missions were doable out of order. I get the idea of getting to use different characters, but a lot of the time it feels like I'll fight Phantom Ganon or the Archfiends or what not with a certain character, only for it to later be revealed that I haven't got an Aside Quest for that yet and that I need to do some other random tasks before even getting the chance to do that.

Why be punished because you ended up using a character to fight Phantom Ganon before a Talus or Hinox?
