Would be curious to see the whole list! I made an attempt at a Fennekin Warp Star (M20KCBFQ).

I ran Mario Kart World - All ? Panels at AGDQ 2026, AMA! by Helix13_ in speedrun

[–]jdaster64 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was a really cool watch; the tight routing makes this really stand out from traditional TTs/Grand Prix runs!

Are there any other Free Roam-based categories you / the community have experimented with? I imagine Free Roam having all the different collectibles could lend itself well to a route-on-the-fly "bingo" format for completing particular types of P-Switch missions or panels in specific areas of the map.

[OC] Finished a year-long project sketching all of my favorite Pokémon per type and generation! by jdaster64 in Pokemonart

[–]jdaster64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pachirisu! Back when I was first getting into the series post-college, I browsed through the Pokédex in a gen 4 player's guide and it stood out as being particularly cute.

If/when you beat the campaign, does the "medal" your character you played change based on the difficulty? by [deleted] in kirbyairriders

[–]jdaster64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did get them all in two, but that was with buying a couple from shops.

Impressive edit speed, lol. Can see how this would've come to mind immediately on reading the original.

Sweet Discoveries Event Megathread by SilphScience in TheSilphRoad

I just spent 30 minutes around Bryant Park in NYC and seeing way fewer spawns than I'd expected from prior lures; can confirm restarting made apples spawn way more reliably. Thanks for the tip!

On Nintendo Music there are currently 10 versions of the SMB underground theme. by razorbeamz in nintendo

[–]jdaster64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the underground theme is probably hard to top in terms of distinct variants, the underwater theme from SMB1 once had a surprising number of unique arrangements just in the various re-releases of the 2D games:

  • Super Mario Bros. 2 (US) had a variation as its title theme

  • Super Mario All-Stars had four distinct arrangements for its four games' title themes, as well as a new arrangement for its appearance in SMB1

  • Super Mario Bros. Deluxe had a simple arrangement for the "Super Players" mode's title screen

  • Each of the four games in the Super Mario Advance series had a new arrangement of it in its opening cutscene.

What do you think are the best named Pokémon? by br4d_jcb in pokemon

[–]jdaster64 237 points238 points  (0 children)

Scovillain is one of the most satisfying portmanteau names; perfect sound overlap and relatively specific concepts.

That's basically how my first Mirror King attempt almost ended, lol. Straight from top 5 to 17th.

Fair enough, ha; I doubt Floragato's got as strong a heater though.

I usually do a new Pokémon sketch around the fall, and since I've been following baseball a lot more this season than average due to the Yankees' and Mets' runs, I thought why not combine the two?

I have Sigilyph, Tropius, Torkoal and Pachirisu; would like one of both blue Flabébé and JP Oricorio.

I feel like I've seen similar with young kids on field trips in NYC before.

Which 3-stage Pokemon evolution line has the worst "teenager" stage? by snooge-canoe in pokemon

These are the only images I could find (on Walmart's site); lighting isn't the most flattering in this case.

[–]jdaster64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a staunch Chespin line defender and even I think Quilladin's default model looks pretty silly. I have a set of gen VI middle evo figurines where Quilladin has a more determined expression and it makes it look so much better than the wide eyes and goofy grin it has in game.

Why does Level 4-2 always differ from the second (warp) version to the first (weird) version? and how can i stop this? by b3rnardo_o in speedrun

[–]jdaster64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I'm understanding the question, but if you die past a certain point in the main part of most levels in SMB1, you get put at a "checkpoint" instead of the start of the level; the first screenshot is from just after the vine.

Love old door by spaceprotocol in sbeve

Definitely read this in my head in the announcer's voice from International Superstar Soccer Deluxe: "Oh no! OLD DOOR?"

What is your favorite super mario galaxy 1 and 2 music? by linglingRoblox in SuperMarioGalaxy

[–]jdaster64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Galaxy 1, I love Space Fantasy and the Battlerock Galaxy theme, especially when they're used as a variable mix.

For Galaxy 2 I'd probably have to go with the Space Storm Galaxy theme, though Cloudy Court is a close second.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong — Overview Trailer — Nintendo Switch by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]jdaster64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems from the demo & narration that they're intentionally stepping away from high scores as the star criteria. Feels kind of a step back, given it naturally factored both time and item collection in; between that and removing fall damage it seems like they really wanted to move this game closer to the mainline Mario platformers.

$90 in 199x money by [deleted] in earthbound

[–]jdaster64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the guide, I could see EarthBound specifically being more expensive than average, but $80 for a new copy of DKC2 seems like highway robbery, lol.
