Kirby's Epic Yarn

I just rented the game and... the disc won't run due to dirtiness.

Arghbl.

Damn, that's one loved disc already.

Loved discs, Luvdics. Both are equally useless.

Hey, what do you think are the odds of Nintendo making a spin-off series for this game, focusing on Prince Fluff?

I mean, the game was originally supposed to have nothing to do with Kirby, and only became one because Nintendo wasn't sure if the game would sell, which shouldn't be a problem now that it would have one well recieved game to its name. Nintendo could use a new IP, too.

*ZING*

Nintendo says that Mario could be getting a yarn treatment. That would be cool...but it honestly should be Yoshi. I can't look at this game without thinking "This could really have been a Yoshi game."

One little thing that me: With the rollup ability, why couldn't Kirby use the yarn from the baddies to rearrange himself and give himself new abilities? I mean, it seems like a logical way to have copy abilities in the game.

They're probably saving that for the sequel.

Sooo.

Anyone else want to murder Beadtrix in her sleep?

Nah, she looks too similar to a potential Ice Kirby Copy Ability.

Her mini games are relatively simple though.

I'm at what I suspect is one of her last. It's the one for Cozy Cabin. DEEEEEAAAATH. Deathhate. I think I'm just not as good at hers as I am at the others, and being an immensely sensible person I blame her.

Ah... Cozy Cabin. I nice little cozy getaway from the world.

With spikes.

And a crushing ceiling. And floor.

Cozy.

Yeah...

(On that note, play this game with as many friends as you can, if only for the jokes that will inevitably arise. My group somehow got into health care debate jokes. It was glorious.)

So, has anybody figured out who the narrator's voice is?

In the Japanese release, it was a female.

I've recently 100% the game. :D

To be honest, regarding yarn Mario, I'm actually against it. That's why Paper Mario exists. I would like the next one to be like the more traditional Kirby games, but this was a nice change of pace.

^Welcome to the club! *hi-five*

Also, yeah, Cozy Cabin made me rage a few times when trying to get everything in a perfect run.

Really wants tomorrow to come so I can do that Macrame' Knight battle again.

So my friend just bought it. Already, we are learning the value of teamwork, as attempting to perfect Rainbow Falls alone made us kill each other in some creative ways.

Also, my friend wants to find the narrator so he can have him read bedtime stories to him.

^ Wait until you get to the Lava world. You think you're killing each other now...

Yeah, in Hot Land you'll be dropping each other like you're hot.

-*shot*

Ok I'm stuck in this one area. Does anyone know how to unlock the secret stages in Treat Land? I got gold medals and every hidden item for every level, including the boss, so why can't I unlock the stages?

Got the game on Saturday. Now I can finally get in some playtime.

For bosses, you have to go one level higher than Gold to unlock the secret stages, I think.

Incidentally, I have discovered today that Mushroom Run is downright infuriating in two-player.

Yeah, bosses tend to be harder to do. You have to get an all-bead run on each one to unlock the secret levels after, which means throwing every single projectile possible to get every single bead before doing actual damage to the boss.

After a few hours, I can safely say that manliness is totally overrated.

When the DISC for the game is absolutely gorgeous, you know you're playing something special.

Well... for most of the bosses you don't need every bead - I got most of the secret levels on the first run-through of them without even realizing what you needed to do to get them - mostly because many of the bosses give more beads at the end of their run, or give lots of beads at certain intervals.

For most of them, you can lose lots of beads in the beginning of the fight and still get enough to get the patch.

It's mainly just the first boss you have to get in unnecessary hits for, I believe. I think. Haven't actually played yet, my knowledged comes from binging a lot of Youtube.
