Date played: August 12th
Platform: Wii U
Here's a game I've been meaning to play more often, but kind of forgot about, thanks in part to the release of the Nintendo Switch. I picked it up yesterday and played through a few levels. My first task was to explore a strange forest to find the professor in charge of a nearby excavation site. This was one of the most interesting levels so far since everything there was GIANT!
We're talking giant coins, giant trees, giant bushes, giant goombas, giant everything! Combined with the cardboard aesthetic, it made for a very fun, unique level. It even affected combat, as the giant enemies had way more health than normal enemies. We found the professor, who is still looking for his missing pet, Princess. We convince him to go back home, then set out to find Princess. The professor gave us access to the excavation site, so we decided that would be a good place to start looking.
The excavation site was a huge level, filled with many combat encounters, secret rooms, things to paint and crumbling scaffolding. It turns out that Princess is a giant Chain Chomp. She's kind of mean and definitely very dangerous. On a few occasions, I had to avoid her attacks by completing simple platforming sequences. It all looked really cool, but it was a little bit confusing at times.
At the end of the level, Princess charges through a wall, making large portions of the excavation site crumble. This revealed a secret room, home to a fresh paint star! It also revealed a giant dragon skeleton of some sort, but it needs a big coat of paint. I'm not exactly sure where to go next, but there's a new level that opened up, so I'll give that place a visit.
