Oh dang it. I beat The Perfect Run one attempt too late. My death count is 421. 😭

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 8h

I'm so happy to have 100% completed Super Mario Galaxy 2. Really really fun game. I love it more than ever. I would be perfectly fine if I never saw The Perfect Run ever again, though.

IT'S OKAY I DID IT!!! WE GOT THERE!

Guess who beat The Perfect Run then got hit by a stray hammer right before entering the Launch Star! 🫠

Oh YouTube IS completely fucked right now. How am I supposed to eat this dinner in front of me now?

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 11h

Hey why did they make the level harder for The Perfect Run? Nintendo? Nintendo, I am speaking to you.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 12h

Could I continue playing Mario even if Pokemon shows up tomorrow? Yeah, absolutely. But I know myself. Once there's a new Pokemon game in front of me, there's no going back for a hot minute.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 12h

Not me lowkey hoping my copy of Legends Z-A arrives late so I can grind The Perfect Run in Mario Galaxy 2 tomorrow instead. Why am I hoping for this? There's no way it will be fun.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 12h

I know it could be seen in the customization menu in trailers, but it's nice to have confirmation that Legends Z-A kept the option for freckles. This is an important matter to me.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 12h

Okay we got through The Ultimate Test. I still don't know how anyone can do that level flawlessly but I guess I'll find out in about 3,000 more starbits.

On the plus side, I now know exactly what I would be like if I were a Toad.

Mario talking to the green Toad at the beginning of Grandmaster Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2 who yells "YOSHIIIIIIII!"

I've never done The Perfect Run in Mario Galaxy 2 and still haven't but I'm putting it up there as the most brutal final 3D Mario level because I can't even get through the level with the regular amount of health.

I could never be a Dancing With the Stars judge. I would've given Robert Irwin an 11 and then stolen the other judges' paddles and wrote the number 11 on those, too.

I saw the stat last night that the New York Rangers just became the first team in NHL history to not score a goal in their first three home games of a season and I'm honestly less concerned about the Rangers here and more surprised that that's never happened before.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 17h

I need Xenoblade to become popular enough for Nintendo to turn Nopon into marketable plushies.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 18h

It's noon on Wednesday and my copy of Legends Z-A hasn't shipped yet but I'm not sure if I should start dooming yet because it's Walmart and sometimes they ship stuff from my local store.

Just unlocked Grandmaster Galaxy for the first time and gave it a few tries, and I already dread The Perfect Run.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 1d

I'm fully bracing myself for my copy of Legends Z-A to arrive on Friday at the earliest. I've got plenty of Mario, at least. That's for sure.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 1d

I got Mio expressions on Nintendo Today hell yeah I love Mio.

I think there might be an issue with Green Star 2 in Bowser's Gravity Gaunlet (World 4) in the Switch version of Galaxy 2 because it wouldn't let me grab the star as Mario, but I got it first try as Luigi despite doing nothing different. It's supposed to be possible with Mario. IGN did it w/Mario. ?

Why

A screenshot of Mario in Super Mario Galaxy 2's Supermassive Galaxy, within view of Green Star 2. The cursor is placed immediately to the bottom right of the star.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 1d

Today's been such a bleh day for me. Hopefully Mario Galaxy 2 can fix it somewhat. Wahoo.

The narrative may be strong (like good god), but my love for Pokemon is stronger.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 4d

I think I'm doomed by some narrative to be subjected to Pokemon leaks.

Sloshin' Squid @pinkinkling23.bsky.social · 2d

Still can't believe that I had been doing relatively good at dodging Legends Z-A leaks just to have Game Freak's five year plan randomly thrust upon me. This sucks man. What REALLY sucks is that what I saw excited me. I would've loved to be surprised by all that. If they're still even gonna happen.
