HEY CHECK OUT THE ICON [livejournal.com profile] wishwashing made this for me. Peasley is awesome.

Speaking of Peasley, hows about another episode of Superstar Saga? Its been a little while since I've done this. I'LL TRY SPEEDING THINGS UP INDEED. This time, though, I actually have an excuse. See, I found out that if I exit my emulator and come back later without moving the old screenshots to a different folder, then the emulator will just save over the old screenshots when I try to take new ones. I actually only found out about it today, so as you can probably guess, I wound up accidentally saving over pretty much all of the WooHoo University screenshots. Shortly after finding out about that, I find out that I had already overwritten the old save state with a new one (which is in the next world), and didn't have any others because I never really thought I'd need multiple save states. Good job thinking ahead, self.

SO BASICALLY WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY HERE IS THAT I KIND OF HAD TO START OVER (on a new file, of course) AND PLAY UP TO THAT PART SO I COULD GET THE STUPID SHOTS. I could've taken the easy way out and just told you what everyone said/what happened, except not only would that not have the same effect, but there's a lot more I wanna share with you guys other than who says what. If that were the case, I wouldn't bother making these at all and would just link you guys to a script.

ANYWAY yeah I'm just glad this wasn't too far in the game. Gotta make sure to make multiple save states next time!

On a side note, this song is ridiculously catchy. I listened to it for the majority of the time it took to replay the game. SOMETHING TELLS ME IT ISN'T EXACTLY APPROPRIATE MARIO-PLAYING MUSIC, BUT IT PASSED THE TIME NONETHELESS

blah blah blah blah LET'S BEGIN.

Previous episodes





LOOKS LIKE A FRIENDLY PLACE apparently I didn't get a shot of the front.
WooHoo University theme! Hooniversity. Whatever. AND I MEANT TO MENTION THIS IN THE LAST EPISODE BUT LOL WOOHOO. Sims 2 has forever colored that word for me.






Hahaha I like how Mario is just completely calm. STANDARD PROCEDURE, NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY





HAHA





Well that was of mild interest



boing boing



nod nod








He starts shaking, here. HMMMM WHAT COULD BE HAPPENING








LASER SHEET wait no




These things shoot these laser ring things at you. If they stand at a bit of a distance (like in these shots) that means they're going to shoot a ring in the air and you have to jump, but if they're all UP IN YO FACE then they shoot it in the ground and you can just stand there. Yes.




BING



This room reminds me of the cafeteria at Disney Land for some reason. And the Buzz Lightyear laser adventure ride thing. I remember not even really trying that hard to shoot things and just spinning around in circles for no reason. What was I talking about



BONK THE ACTION BLOCK! BONK IT NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!







HOLY CRAP, DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?!
WE'RE BEING CHASED BY GHOSTS!



Hahaha Yo Bro. He just spins yoyos all over the place. WHAT A LOSER



Laser Snifit, that's what it's called!





You run into these little Virus things (Blue Virus, Red Virus, Yellow Virus), and when you hit them they change color. If they're all the same color, they disappear. dr mario, derp derp





First one is how it is, second one is what you change it to.




Dum dee dum whacking statues with hammers



After a while of statue-whacking.





In the game it shows all of them disappearing one by one BUT EH THIS IS FINE YOU GET THE DRIFT










Moving on, this room is basically one big mini*Mario and underground*Luigi puzzle.





DUHHHHHH TAKING SCREENSHOTS INSTEAD OF FOCUSING. Anyway blocks just fly by at varying speeds and you bonk them and stuff.




whoop



THERE WE GO why do I get the controls all mixed up when I play this




woo open gates wooooooooooo



BLAH BLAH EVENTUALLY YOU GET IN A BARREL AND HIT A SWITCH YADDA YADDA








Into the new room! HMMM THAT TILE LOOKS SUSPICIOUS






OW
That's our cue to hunt for barrels





I can't even remember what I did to lower the spikes, anymore. WHATEVER, WORKS FOR ME



Inside the room the spikes were guarding. It makes me think of a mix between Pacman and those mouse maze things.





SCORE



Will this work? Wiiiiilllllll iiiiiiitttttttttt








NOPE



I hit a button... somewhere, and it made that second barrel come BARRELING DOWN lol














LUIGI NOOOOOOOOO
man what is it with luigi and getting kidnapped by cranes



NEXT ROOM... SOMEWHEEEEERE



halp



I'LL SAVE YOU LUIGI



on a side note DONKEY KONG, ANYONE? be sure to take careful note of how luigi is playing the role of pauline here



okay i've got you everything will be--



HEY




hahaha Mario is just as confused as the rest of us. What kind of a crane is this anyway







AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
hahaha i like how his little feet are sticking out










ALLEY OOP



BAM thats gotta hurt







WHO KNEW LUIGI'S BARREL ADVENTURE WOULD SAVE THE DAY





Mario sort of drops out of nowhere. Haha, that was fast.



Aww




AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OH MY GOD
I have no idea what caused this, but I somehow managed to find an exit and when I left and came back it was all normal. Weird.
I keep getting distracted by this weird anime on TV. BUT I MUST PRESS ON!







And for causing convenient electrical malfunctions










Just one Action Block to go.



And there it is!













YAHHHHHH




hay what's goin on over here








OH NO WE GOTTA HURRY










CUE WACKY MUSIC









Something about the perspective here keeps confusing me. I think it's how the sprites are positioned.






Nope!








SERVED







*Godzilla roar*



Cackletta's battle music, which I really like for some reason.



Cackletta sends out these mysterious warp hole THINGS that you have to jump over. They have kind of a strange way of moving (they sorta pause just before reaching your character), though if you get the rhythm down then they aren't too big of a problem.
However, if you fall in them...




...you get THIS annoying little status ailment, that basically just makes it harder to jump and dodge and stuff. If I remember right then it also makes you move faster when you come down from a jump, so it makes it harder to do Action Commands properly. I'm not sure about that, though. MY MEMORY IS SO FAULTY




Lightning attack! If Cackletta raises her left arm (our left) then she shoots lightning at Mario THEN Luigi and vice versa, and then if she raises both arms she shoots lightning at them simultaniously. Ayup.



THE WEIGHT AILMENT DIDN'T SERVE YOU WELL, DID IT LUIGI
OH WELL, AT LEAST NOW I GET TO SHOW YOU THE CAVITY-INDUCING REVIVAL ANIMATION using a 1-Up Mushroom here by the way



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT FACE OH MY GOD
MUST SAVE LUIGI AHDFGUAIDFHGAIDHGF







TWIRL, TWIRL IN CELEBRATION AS YOU ARE ONCE AGAIN WELCOMED INTO THE STALWART ARMS OF LIFE



good day sir pip pip



So endearing. There's actually another aspect of the "omg a brother is unconscious" sequence that's really charming but I didn't get it here. Maybe next time!




Argh, I hate this. There's no way to tell which one is the real Cackletta as far as I know, so you have to just guess.




And if you hit the wrong one...





Then the fake one will turn into a bunch of bats, which you'll have to jump over. BATLETTA. There's also a chance of getting poisoned if you're hit, as you can see here.



I've got you now!




HEY STOP DOING THAT
Yes, sometimes she'll just up and do the whole "which one is the real me lol" thing right after you solve the last one. I remember once I was battling her and I swear I went through at least like five rounds of that thing in a row it was so annoying



ACTUALLY YOU KIND OF SEEM TO HAVE PROVEN QUITE SUFFICIENTLY THAT NO, NO YOU ARE NOT





Those goshdarn holes



One Bros. Attack later...





Wooo! 1-Up Supers not only revive a character, but also fully restore their HP. I usually stock up on them for emergency situations.






Mole*Fawful? But I thought only Mario could molinate people




















"No we're fine thanks"




"No really can't we just talk or something"



GASP
WHO COULD THAT MYSTERIOUS MAN BE



Hahahahha what a bizarre shot




TADAAAAHHHHHH SEE MY PREDICTION THAT HE WAS GOING TO SAVE US AT SOME POINT WAS RIGHT WHAT DID I TELL YOU






He hacked and slashed a lot more than this but I'm lazy




TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAAAAAAAAIIIIIIiiiiiiiinnnn





"WHAT"







*bubble pipe*











Tooooooooooooooooooooooooo the basementmnobmadfl



damn Mecha-Chomps. Always chomping around like they OWN THE PLACE







HURRAH




YOU







hi guys snort









HI





THEN WHY IS IT SO ~*HILARIOUS*~








Hahahahaha. THIS IS VERY RESPECTFUL BUSINESS




After some battling. Their attacks haven't changed at all except for this, I think











dude ow






YOU CALL THAT A SPLASH ATTACK
SHOW THEM WHAT A REAL SPLASH ATTACK LOOKS LIKE MAGIKARP













OH GOD THIS WONT END WELL






OH JESUS CHRIST







Hahahhahaa great idea guys. LET'S ALL GET ON THE RAGING LEGENDARY ARTIFACT WITH OTHERWORLDLY POWERS
















TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH






the explosion makes me think of pudding






AND SO THE BEANSTAR PIECES GRACEFULLY FALL TOWARDS THE EARTH, AND SOMEWHERE OUT THERE A HUNCHED OVER NERD BREATHES A SIGH OF RELIEF AT HAVING FINALLY FINISHED AN OVERLY LONG LIVEJOURNAL ENTRY THAT HAD BEEN NAGGING ON THEIR BRAIN FOR FAR TOO LONG

TO BE CONTINUED

Man you would not believe the storm we got caught in earlier. We were caught right when it was as vicious as possible, so there was this howling wind and lightning and pouring rain and hail and you like couldn't see anything in front of you and just man. MAN.

Oh, ouch. :X I always make multiple save states, in case I want/need to go back... I scatter them like breadcrumbs behind me. Know how many I used when I played Earthbound? ALL OF THEM. It let me do, like, fifty or a hundred or so. I'd have three for whatever I was doing at that instant, in case I accidently saved after something stupid (because the key to save and the key to restore from the last save are right next to each other so it was easy to do). Three instead of two, just to be safe. But then, I get paranoid about that, especially if I get slightly burned by it once (like the foppy factory. Ooooo, I could have stayed there longer! XO ).

IT HAS :D I can't even say it now without thinking of that. I use woot or whee or wheehee instead.

References to previous games FTW!

>Want to try again?
NOPE, I'LL JUST SIT HERE FOREVER.

IMPORTANT TO THE PEASLEY/LUIGI SHIP YOU MEAN? :D

Crane: *dangle dangle dangle* NOPE too slow!

That is some amazing rolling there. The way it turns a corner to avoid going off the edge, I mean. I'm thinking magnets.

Peachbots wtf. I THINK THIS IS UNNECESSARILY COMPLICATED and also I thought she was just going to... have her voice. Like in the Disney version of The Little Mermaid, where Ursula speaks with Ariel's voice. and why does she need three. This seems highly suspect. I have horrid mental images concerning this now. D:

They are so, so cute. :D

Cackletta's like those people who, when they're losing an argument, suddenly have to go leave for their trip to Spain/go out with their significant other/do something that proves they have a life! Really! And they simply don't have time for silly internet arguing! And then they're back five minutes later, defending themselves again.

WHEE AWESOME :D and he just, like, smacks him down. :D

Oh GOOD, so there's going to be an explanation for that. I bet it's because it was from robots. Close enough to wake it, but not close enough to work properly.

Yeah, especially since last time it stopped flying very quickly and just fell down. :B I mean, I wouldn't want to be on it at that point. I'd rather just see where it landed.

WHEE that was great. :D

Haha yeah, I dunno why I wasn't keeping better track of things :O Eh well. LEARNED THAT ONE THE HARD WAY I GUESS. Thankfully I don't think there's a limit to how many save states you can make with the emulator I'm using. watch me turn super OCD and make like 200 now

SAME HERE I just go "woooo." CURSE YOU SIMS 2

POSSIBLY

SOME STUFF WILL BE EXPLAINED IN THE NEXT ONE DON'T WORRY though now I can't remember if they ever explain why she used three Peachbots. Hmmmmm

Hahhahaha now I've got this great mental image of Cackletta just getting in this huge flamewar with someone. I bet she'd be one of those people who writes e-mails about how they're too busy to write e-mails.

Hahaha seriously. WAY TO GO GUYS

:D

I guess they could be explained as backups. :O

SHE WOULD hee hee.

I guess in their defense maybe they were trying to keep it down? :O

The Rookie Duo reminds me of the Koopa Bros. that reminded me of ninja turtles in Paper Mario. Always appearing in the middle of the fight to remind me they're badass villains only to get blown through the roof.

I've been brainwashed by watching too many YouTube Poops. Every time I read one of Bowser's lines I keep hearing it spoken in King Koopa's voice from the Mario Bros. cartoon in my head.

Also, it wasn't Peach that was kidnapped in Donkey Kong, but Pauline.

Haha, yeah, those old cartoons and CD-i games have pretty much ruined me. I can't take Link seriously anymore because all I see is EXCUUUUUUSE ME, PRINCESS

ffffff I know. This is why I need to go back and tweak the commentary on this adventure so I can fix typos and mistakes and general fifteen-year-old dumbness.
