Another Sunday morning means another video gaming session with my 5 year old daughter! We completed 3 levels and got all the flowers and yarn balls in the world. The first level I played, A Little Light Snowfall, featured the cutest little Shy Guys. They wore parkas and threw snowballs at Yoshi... Throughout the area, there were spots where chunks of snow were hanging up on platforms, then would fall down to the ground when hit by something or stepped on. This created some pretty tense moments and lots of fluffy cuteness,
The next level, Up Shuttlethread Pass, was a real maze. In fact, I don't think there were any real enemies here, or very few of them anyway. As in one of the earlier levels, it had little doors that flipped the level, where I played on the "back" of the world. This one was quite difficult, simply because there were a LOT of different paths and a lot of secrets to find. They key element is the titular shuttlethread. This is basically a little train of thread that moves through the level and is used as a platform.
Finally, I took on the dangerous summits of Snowy Mountain Lift Tour. As the title implies, there are snow lifts to ride in this one. Littered with Bullet Bills and bouncy penguins, this one was a test of speed and jumping skill. I love every moment of this game, it's so much better than I ever expected.
