Videogame Corner - Kirby Superstar (part 1)

[yamamanama]

See that pink guy? That's you. Cute, huh? Oh no, here comes a waddle doo or something. GULP.





Here's a mushroom. Also, the Waddle Doo is now on my side because I ate him and crapped him out. I'm sure he appreciates that.





He gives you bombs. Also, he has a funny hat.





Here I am getting killed by a cat-bear hybrid that is wearing a bandanna because I was taking a screenshot and had to select the screen without pausing. I reloaded after that. The big cat-bear thing gives you no powers. What a ripoff.






Here's the boss.





Now he's sad and Kirby split in three parts. Did you know you could hurt yourself with a bomb? I found that out when taking a screenshot.





Squid!





In this screenshot, I have ice.






Is that... Lolo and Lala of Adventures of Lolo fame? I think so. However, they're EVIL.





Trippy.





It's a floating eyeball. Note the health. However, I discovered that I can pause when fighting bosses.





This is the eyeball's evolved form, a cloud that can shoot lightning and create enemies. I think he was in the Gameboy version too. Marvel at the LSD-inspired background.





I just went in because I wanted a screenshot of King Dedede, lord of blue penguins. At least, I think he's a penguin. To really give him the beatdown of his life, I used bombs.




Next is the Gourmet Race. Everyone has their hatred of something in video games. With Slowbeef, it's mazes, especially invisible mazes that you have to backtrack through. I hate racing, usually since it's stacked in the AI's favor.



I didn't do that badly. That's just a result of taking a screenshot and the pause screen demonstrating how to copy things or use your newfound weapon. It was actually neck-to-neck, even though neither Dedede nor Kirby have necks.





This is trippy.





In this one, you actually get the Wheel power. It doesn't really help, as getting out of wheel form involves bonking against things.





This is what happened. If I didn't discover that I could dash by pressing the directional key twice, I'd post a Star Ocean screenshot and talk about that instead.






Victoly. More coming soon.


The guy who did Charlie the Hamster has more characters. And another album in which Charlie yodeling. He sounds like a sped up fire-engine, actually.

Barney the Bear: He's slowed down and sounds like he inhaled a healthy dose of xenon instead of helium.

Bernie the Billy Goat: Well, he's a little lower than Charlie, and he bleats.

Benny the Beep: I can't describe it, but it's ANNOYING.


Finley the Fish: Charlie with a reverb.

Ricky the Crcket: Charlie with a stutter.

Woody the Woodchuck: Charlie as an 80 year old with a head cold.



Also, Acid Mothers Temple is really good. The topic on Barbelith was right. One of the songs sounds like 1950s pop song performed by Cookie Monster and a cat.
