What a season! What a season!
@ācaptainā#p143376 Tatsuyuki Tanakaās alias, itās why his art books are titled Cannabis Works.

sorry I should have said not familiar _enough_āI'm aware of the game in general, just had no idea the character designer had a silly alias
The most alluring thing about the game to me has been the key art I've seen. Not a bad price for that book!
@ācaptainā#p143398 Tanaka's art is incredible. All the Linda^3 illustrations are in volume 1 but both books are worth poring over.

These clip compilations of people going through the levels and getting trolled can be fun, although after it became a Thing to Do when a popular creator releases a hack, then you start to see people play it up for the camera and it can be a little much. The first such compilation for GP3 veered a little too far into that territory but things calmed down a bit here for the second. This compilation also shows off some of the additions from other platformers into SMW like Celeste wall climbing and VVVVVVV gravity.

This 30th anniversary update to Super Mario World sounds cool. Haven't tried it myself but I have a SNES Everdrive coming this week. Might be the first game I fire up.
This feels essential because it actually makes me want to play Mario 64:

@āhellomrkearnsā#p146633 As the tweet has disappeared (And I REALLY wanted to get this) I've found the link here to the page for the download. Will run a test and let everyone know how it works out.
Well it works! And Iām running with the 4mb cart too! A few little quirks Iāve found so far - such as Maria coming in to help Richter out and Dracula when he transforms mid-battle still speaking Japanese but hey! The skipping cut scenes is fantastic though.
Hereās a hot one - Tokyo extreme racer 3 now beatable. The story of how it wasnāt before is pretty fun.
