What does /pik/ think of Olimar being a top tier in Smash Ultimate?

youtube.com/watch?v=o_jOQTeGzsc

hmmmmm

I'm glad because I really like playing as Olimar, but I also hope it doesn't cause people to play him only because he's good and not because they like/are interested in Pikmin.

he doesn't make use of a giant pikmin army in smash so I've been quite disappointed in him for a while. it was even worse how they cut his squad size down from brawl

That's fine for game balance reasons, fighting against a 6 Pikmin wall in Brawl was a real bitch. I think if they focused on keeping your squad of Pikmin alive instead of treating them like expendables would be more faithful to the Pikmin franchise.

Nah, 6 pikmin in brawl was absolute cancer for everyone to deal with, hell they fucking staled your moves when you hit them. 3 pikmin is a good compromise and people still find Olimar hard to deal with

I refuse to believe it for my mental health’s sake

Olimar and Charlie are the best Pikmin characters.

All of the Pikmin 3 characters were much flatter in comparison to the ones in Pikmin 1-2. Olimar is best but I like the President as well

>Elder God Tier
President
>Great Tier
Charlie, Olimar
>Great Tier
Louie
>Decent Tier
Brittany
>Eh Tier
Alph

Correct

Not watching that long ass video.

Was kinda let down by it. Not as good as the first two but still not bad, just the weakest of the three.

Doesn’t seem like that bad a change considering how high tier he is now.

Didn’t play as him much in other smashes, kiiiiind of tier whorring by picking him now, but it’s more about thinking his playstyle is interesting and wanting to know what it feels like on a good character.

youtube.com/watch?v=WqaidvR9dy8

Louie deserves to be at least Great tier after all of the lore that was built up for him with his grandmother and all that.

Never heard of this, what happened?

Was it in one of the end of day logs or something? Those can change a whole lot in one playthrough to another.

>2 great tiers
fucking whoops
meant for that to be god

Louie's grandma made him overeat as a child, and it's what caused him to turn into the food-fiend he is now. She also made him eat and play with bugs, which is where he gets his power over them.

how well does 3 run on cemu? i need to replay these things
and did the 60fps hack ever get updated for the first 2 games?

Neat.

Where in the games does it say that though?

not if I have anything to say about it.

Why is it that the good IPs like F-Zero, Pikmin, and Metroid are the ones that are neglected? I fucking hate Smash, Mario Tennis, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Yoshi, Kirby and Animal Crossing but that's all Nintendo's focused 2018 and 2019 on.

Lads, I beat Pikmin 3 for the first time a couple days ago. Got every single fruit.

Not as good as Pikmin 2 but I still love it.

What do you guys think about the few things they left hanging at the end?

Also should I get the DLC for the game?

companies don't care about quality, they care about sales

>louie not the best
somebody didn't look into the emails and logs, it seems.

a slight amendment to this, Louie only like playing and befriending bugs, but his Grandma didn't like that he did that, so she made him eat his bug friends. That's why he's both food obsessed but also severely fucked in the head in general. I hope he eventually becomes the series' first really villain because of it.

Attached: sexy louie.jpg (244x236, 6K)

because the more generic and mass appealing series sell more. Games like Pikmin are genuinely too smart or specific for the average chad or redditor to see anything more than "ew gay flowers" from it.

I'm thinkin Pikmin 4 has a lot of explaining to do.

>SS Drake's crash might have not been an accident
It almost certainly wasn’t an accident. Look up ‘umibozu’, there’s a decent number of connections between it and plasma wraith.

>Louie went missing (again)
Besides the struggle for survival and retroactively the plasma wraith, Louie is the antagonist of the Pikmin series and I don’t see how anyone can think otherwise. I expect he’ll remain a recurring villain for some time.

>Plasm Wraith is still alive
Yeah and I’m glad. It and water/phantom/whatever it was called wraith are one of the most interesting parts of pikmin lore.

>That falling object at the end of the credits
The protagonists of pikmin 45 if we count HeyLike Miyamoto obviously did

Can’t comment on the DLC

>Like Miyamoto obviously did
but miyamoto was still talking about Pikmin 4 coming soon after Hey! Pikmin was already out.

I've learned a fair bit of Bulblax Kingdom on both Piano and Tuba, it's a great song.
Conflicted, I love Olimar overall, but I'm very used to playing heavier characters.
“In the darkness of space,
You are my light;
With the strength that you give,
I continue the fight.
With a friend such as you,
I count myself lucky
You are my sword and my shield,
My true Rubber Ducky.”-Captain Charlie
It's mostly revealed in Emails sent by Louie's grandma, I think.

So how did Louie survive so long in Pikmin 2 without air reserves?

Pikmin is Miyamoto's baby. It's constantly had entries and updated ports over the years to keep it active. They even managed to get shorts and representation in UI systems and mash up games.

I think you're mistaking neglect for caring about quality and avoiding over saturating. Even Hey! Pikmin wasn't that bad compared to most of the experimental games Nintendo tried to throw out there the past few years.

2 > 3 > 1 because caves were the best shit ever. All the games are great though.

absolutely chad opinion.

Loved caves, but they're in serious need of reworking.

For me it’s 2 > 1 > 3

I find 1 really replayable while I haven’t gone back to 3 since finishing the campaign and messing around in challenges very briefly.

Should probably give 3 another shot since challenges seem like the meat of the game. They’re basically just score attack maps right?

Feels weird that everyone likes caves so much. I thought they were kind of "eh" since there weren't really any puzzles or time limits, and often the best option would be to park your pikmin somewhere safe and clear out all the enemies yourself.

They were just pretty comfy, and gave you a feeling of business.

>nectar sends your pikmin straight to flower

What's the point of bud Pikmin again?

Purple pikmin combat + tons of enemy variety + cool treasures and themes was what sold it for me. I do wish there was more strategy involved in the caves

bikeborb thinks you should wait a little longer for them to port Pikmin 3 over to switch. If you are impatient, I'd say buying a cheap used Wii U and a copy of Pikmin 3 is a good idea, as you can also download Pikmin 1 and 2 as well.

if you just have a gamecube or wii, start with pikmin 1; 2 isnt harder but it builds off of 1 in a way that its just a better experience

Pikmin 1's my favorite. Olimar is the best captain and I preferred having overworld puzzles and time limits over caves in 2 and technically no time limit in 3.
Though I only played the games in January.

That's a bulbmin
You can tell because bulbmin have the sprouts attached to them

What I didn't like in Pikmin 3 was that it was too "staged". There were cutscenes introducing every bosses contrary to the first two games.
In the first two, that was a really strong point because you were always surprised by what falls down (literally) on you, mostly in 1. The fact that during the time you understand what the creature is and how it behaves, it has already killed half your pikmins really reinforces the feeling of exploring dangerous unknown areas. You didn't really have this feeling in 3, or maybe just for the final boss.
In Pikmin 2, exterior areas were smaller than in 1 to leave place for the caves, making them less enjoyable to explore. The cave were a great idea, but they need to be more theme-oriented and with more specific areas. You had numerous dirt caves in 2 with often the same variation of layout. Less but more unique caves would be preferred.
A perfect Pikmin game would be for me a Pikmin with 3 scenery, 1 feeling of exploration, 2 caves but better reworked and less staged bosses like in 1.

Pikmin is Miyamoto's passion project, it doesn't pull in sales like Mario and Zelda. In fact the Pikmin series probably wouldn't even still be going if not for that fact. They probably view it internally as much less of a priority, something they can take their time on and polish to their hearts' content because there's no pressure for them to rush it out the door for millions of clamoring fans.

Is that Wii version of Pikmin 1 more or less a straight port, or did they bring over any QoL improvements from 2?

Did you know that in Pikmin 1, these fuckers can literally clip your Pikmin through the ground, so that even if they don't directly squish any of your Pikmin, they can still be lost to the ether, and you'll never notice unless you're looking directly at your total Pikmin counter because they'll be too far underneath the level for you to hear their death wail?

Wollywogs are assholes.

I hate that it feels so inconsistent how many Pikmin clinging onto these guys will weigh them down or not. Sometimes it feels like you have more than enough attached to a Wollywog to keep it immobile, but then it jumps anyway and you just have to deal with the fact that you're probably gonna lose like 15 Pikmin, even if you act as fast as you can to whistle them all back.

How would you feel if in Pikmin 4, the different captains were more efficient at ordering Pikmin to different tasks?

To be fair Bulbears actually seem attentive to their young

I don't think giving captains special abilities would add anything of substance, other than soft-limiting which captains you'd want to send to do any given task. You'd be creating situations where say, Captain A deals more damage with their Pikmin, Captain B grows more Pikmin, and Captain C has their Pikmin carry objects faster. Well why should I ever send Captain A to do anything BESIDES take on miniboss creatures? And then you might as well use your other captains for collecting things on the side, because that's what they're best at, instead of getting done what you might want to get done. Players who understand the game deeply will always feel like their micromanaging is going to waste unless they do those exact specific tasks that the game has subtly outlined for them as the most optimal course of action. And this also creates a situation where you might rather just keep all 3 captains together at the same time, and constantly have to switch between them depending on the current task. A bunch of bulborbs are coming? Better cycle over to Captain A, then cycle back to Captain B for maximum profit on their bodies, then back to Captain A to take on whatever enemies show up next. The reason why Pikmin can be as specialized as they need to be is because the player is in direct control of their Pikmin counts, and can focus on cultivating whatever variety they like based on what tasks they find the most useful, but having captain gimmicks would impose hard limitations that can't be customized. The individuality of each task should be dependent on the Pikmin alone. Captains serve their own role as extensions of the player, and enact the player's will on the Pikmin, and you're not supposed to really be cognizant of them like you are about the Pikmin. Giving them gimmicks would be harmful and redundant when layered with Pikmin already having their own gimmicks. At least that's how I feel about it.

Yet another reason to scout out the cave with one of your captains before taking the Pikmin anywhere.

This puffy creature is best grilled rare, over a high flame for a short amount of time, leaving the outside burnt and crispy to preserve the juicy tears inside the meat. Heavily salt it afterwards and sprinkle with diced tomatoes, herbs and mushrooms.
The bandanna can also be made into a delicious salad, by first slicing it and placing it into a bowl with more diced tomatoes and pickled peppers. A vinegar-based dressing is best used, to compliment the bandanna.
The spear can also be used as a nice decorative piece, used for special occasions.

I'd love this as some kind of boss encounter or powerful enemy: The Berserk Bulborb. It doesn't sleep, has a wider aggro radius, chases after you faster, can eat faster than even an Orange Bulborb, and will attack and eat other enemies that get between it and your Pikmin (allowing you to kite it to your advantage, with the catch that eating other enemies will heal it a bit, and the carcasses don't get left behind for you to scavenge)

But if they did that, people would complain that they didn't introduce enough new Pikmin types in 3. They can't just keep coming up with completely distinct gimmicks for each Pikmin type and cramming every last one of them into the main story, so discarding anything that's not the original red/yellow/blue and introducing similar-yet-still-unique new breeds is probably the best way to go, especially if they still retain purples/whites/rocks/wingeds in the side modes like how 3 did.

The caves in 2 having randomized layouts was a pretty good idea, giving different experiences each time you play. The main issue is that too many floors have the same "tiles", causing many caves to feel the same (Citadel of Spiders is a big offender for me).

The floors that had actual unique features stood out the most.
>each floor of Gluttons Kitchen had different objects (trains, toyboxes, houses, instruments, plates) so each floor stood out
>the bit in Shower Room where there was a grate you had to throw Pikmin into to get a treasure, in addition to the huge floor in Pic Related, taking place under a storm drain
>the large maze of ramps on one floor of Subterranean Complex
>the quicksand pit with a Snagret (forget which cave)
>the first floor of Snagret Hole involving going up to a birdhouse, and dropping to the next floor, which is in an outside yard

More unique cave features could really improve the feel of them and avoid repetition.

I'd go for it. I honestly think Pikmin 3 had one of the best Gamepad usage out of all the Wii U games (I'd suggest using wiimote+nunchuk as a controller with the gamepad nearby).

If literally no other games on the Wii U interest you though, maybe just wait to see if they make a switch port.

But he's right. Ever since Return to Dream Land, Kirby has become more "New Super Mario Bros." than Mario lately. Just because they keep adding new lolsogrimdark deepest lore and sympathetic villains, it doesn't justify the stagnating gameplay.

When you think about it, it's kind of a backwards and punishing system. It makes more sense to have things like the Smoky Progg in 1. If you're fast enough to make it to the Distant Spring within the first week, you'll be presented with an optional superboss. It's an extra challenge with a really good reward for players who demonstrate their skill at the game, and gives them something new to look forward to in repeat playthroughs (assuming they weren't very fast in their first playthrough of the game, and then honed their skills by playing the game over and over again), instead of making life harder for players who are so bad that they dawdle around in Pikmin 2 for over a month.

Pikmin 1 is my favorite as well

would be interesting, though I don't know how that would be implemented.

Hey, that's pretty good.

Fattular Kroolioid

This bulbous reptile is best cooked into a savory stew. First, slice off the immense layers of fat, so that the small, shrimp-like muscles are revealed. slice off as much as you can and them season them with salt and let it sit in the refrigerator until the rest of the ingredients are collected.

Then take the blood that has poured out of its body and dump it into a large pot. Place it on the stove and set it on high. While it is heating up, add water and olive oil to help balance out the taste. Reach back into the refrigerator to grab the chilled meat and drop it into the pot. The boiling water will scald the meat and negate the need for any preheating.

Cut up some onions, garlic and potatoes and drop them in as well for added vegetable flavor, then sprinkle some oregano and cilantro to finish it off. Continue to let it boil for about 5 minutes until meat has full cooked. After if has finished cooking fully, pour it into the golden chest plate for maximum style. Feel free to use the cake as a napkin if needed, and to wear the crown left over, as this is a meal meant for kings!

Pikmin from the start was always more character and story driven then Mario, even if it's mostly relegated to the background.

Mario was never meant to be that in depth with plot or characters. Mario himself is a wet blanket and most characterization for everyone else (aside from Bowser and his kids) get their identity from spin-offs and side-games.

Gigantid Ridleus

Despite the size of this lizard, it unfortunately does not have enough meat on its bones to warrant a full meal, though courageous chefs may make appetizers out of the beast.

Firstly, remove all spikes from the body. While inedible, the tail can be sliced off and used as a decorative piece. Next, carve out as much lean meat as possible from the bones and stir fry it for 15-20 minutes.

The resulting appetizers have a distinct bitter taste to them and a hint of deceased relatives.

Well, I'm happy to see this is still here.

Guys, I'm sorry to say this, but I don't think Pikmin 4 is coming anytime soon. The current Pikmin team was the one that did Pikmin 3 and then later Super Mario Maker. Super Mario Maker 2 was revealed in the last Nintendo Direct, and is most assuredly the same team. They figured they'd rather have them working on something that would sell gangbusters than continue development on another entry.

Hopefully they'll come out with a Piktrilogy for Switch to hype up and recap for 4 (if it ever comes out)

If you compare the staff for Super Mario Maker and Pikmin 3 you will see it is a lot of the same people. They even snuck in an easter egg in Super Mario Maker of the S.S. Drake's engine noises as one of the SFX you get when clearing a level with the eraser. Prior to the EPD merger the Pikmin games were all handled by Nintendo EAD Software Group No. 4 within EAD, with Pikmin 1 being the sole outlier having been done by Nintendo EAD proper. Group 4 was run by Hiroyuki Kimura and also did the NSMB games up to Luigi U, so it would make sense they are in charge of the Maker games. Unless Miyamoto transferred development of 4 to another group from within EPD (Which I imagine still functions like EAD's groups before but just not in name and cramped together in one building) then I think the dream is dead for the foreseeable future. We'll probably be waiting another 3 or 4 years IF we're lucky that they want to release 4 still.

I love the way their eyes work. It's so unsettling to be looked directly at by something that isn't facing you.

If I were to bring them in line with regular Pikmin (so we could grow them from an Onion), I would lower their carry weight to either 5 or 2 and weaken or remove their stun. Perhaps the strength of the stun scales with the size of the enemy. Also, I would give the Purple Onion a different nutrition system, requiring more food to produce the same amount of Pikmin.

Idk if that's what you meant, but I'd love to see it happen.

A giant mushroom dungeon/area where the mushroom itself is an enemy that uses spores to keep enemies alive by regenerating their health after being defeated (like a few enemies in Pikmin 2). Most enemies act normally until they are reanimated the first time, then they start to act like zombified versions of their former selves, becoming more sluggish and reckless in their actions, while some enemies would start out already zombified. After making your way to the heart of the mushroom, you'd have to carve a path throughout the room destroying these sort of mounds of mycelium that provide nutrients to the rest of the mushroom while the mushroom calls in hordes of zombified enemies to defend itself. Once you take out all of the mounds, the mushroom shrivels up some and all of the enemies drop to the ground, becoming corpses again.

female sheargrub?

Would be super cool and somewhat reminiscent of all the promo art they did with clay or 3D rendered pikmins in real life places.

I don't know if this is my favorite music track, but I do love this Twilight River. It's also easily one of my favorite areas too, so that helps.

Also, this is technically Smash music, but Brawl's Stage Clear, Smash 4's Mission Mode and Smash Ultimate's Garden of Hope remixes are really fucking good. Everyone likes to talk shit about Environmental Noises, but they never bring up these remixes (especially Stage Clear/Title), which is a bit of shame.

Here's a low-day-run thing that bothers me. The fact that you can't finish Twilight River in 2 days without glitches. You need at least two days to defeat the Scornet Maestro and bring Louie back and then one day later with blues to gather everything you left. I've tried and tried and everyone on YouTube uses the glitch to get to the winged onion early anyway.

tfw no pikamin 4

i read 2 was way better

Aren’t these guys the only actual young bulborbs you ever see in the game?

The others are all just breadbugs pretending to be bulborbs right?

According to the Piklopedia, yes, but i always thought that was a weird detail to include

The stress of this boi dropping in early took years off my life

*autistic screeching*

it's up to taste, they're all pretty good and have their own strengths and drawbacks

I don't own a Wii U is 3 good?

Can’t help but wonder if someone tried to shove it in to make the game more childfriendly. Like you aren’t killing baby animals, they’re imposters, so it’s fine! Like the stupid retcon in that melee trophy that says redeads aren’t actually dead people but just clay golems.

The idea that there’s SO MANY of these things and none of them are the genuine thing is just kinda weird and a little immersion breaking to me. I’ll always think the redead melee trophy is the dumbest shit

Need to turn this into a gif of him slamming the front wheel down over and over

I mean that Redead shit is true and canon to the games. They were always supposed to be evil magic monsters, not dead people.

Haven't played it in a long time, but from what I remember it was good. Looked great, sounded great, the game pad was great for managing multiple captains simultaneously, although there were a few control changes that were pretty shitty like changing how swarming worked. It was kind of short though, especially compared to 2.

The decision to include "rock pikmin" when they could have just reused purple pikmin for the same thing will never not be retarded

Does it actually say that in any of the games though? Cause I’m a huge zeldafag and don’t remember anything like that being said about redeads in zelda itself. There was never even any subtext suggesting they’re anything besides reanimated corpses.

I mean you basically only find them in hyrule town, random graves, and crypts, which are all places you’d expect to find dead bodies.

Aw shit that sounds amazing! Wonder how the zombie mechanic would mesh with you carrying back their corpses to the onions?

Get a Wii U but homebrew the shit out of it and make it have every NES, SNES, GBA, Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U game on it. It's a fun project and you won't feel salty if those games you bought the Wii U for get ported to the switch

Purples were kind of OP in Pikmin 2 so I thought that rock pikmin were a good way to balance them and give them their own immunity like all the other types have

I wasn't really sure of what context the area would be in, but if there were a way to carry them back to the onion/ship it would permanently kill them, just like how it works with the bulbear or the gatling groink

I was an early teen, so I guess I fall into the fucking around part.

Exact same thing here, I replayed it recently thinking I'd get a Bulbear or BLL any minute now but 100%ed the game way before then. I'd never seen the Louie's Dark Secret animation before. Worth the 14 year wait I think.

The passion in these threads warms my heart.

It's a wiggle noggin.

One minor complaint I have with 3 is how there are no secret enemies like Mamuta, Goolix and Smoky Progg or the Wistful Wild bugs in 2

Do you remember Dragonborb Z? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Going to second that this sounds cool

Just having the dungeon itself be inside a gianr mushroom would be cool. Or in a giant barely alive, mostly decomposed animal/plant that has been infected by the spores.

Everything in 3 was a lot more expensive to make so I guess they didn’t want to hide something away in a corner somewhere.

I love the dweevils. I miss them.

Im curious how the photorealism will improve in Pikmin 4

The segmented crawbster is probably my favorite, sucks how it's the only boss other than the titan dweevil to never show up in challenge mode.

>killing all those borbs in that one hole of heroes sublevel by just punching them
Too bad 3 nerfed the everliving shit out of punching

>upon seeing the severed head of a rubber duck
“I'm not just an intergalactic space captain... I'm also an artist. I see the inner beauty in everything. Some things other people call ugly and boring, I find intellectually stimulating and aesthetically pleasing. It's true... I'm sophisticated like that. ”

>upon seeing an entire rubber duck
“The first time I laid eyes on this hideous treasure, I though it was a giant aquatic monster! It took me several terror-filled seconds to realize that it's just an ugly statue. What a relief... I was ready to run all the way back to Hocotate!”

These are definitely my favorite of Olimar's notes

>those logs for the final days in pikmin 1 if you haven't got enough parts
Fucking hits right in the feels.

Pikmin 2 is the only game where I like the product placement cause of how sillily over the top his descriptions are.

The notes were definitely my favorite part of Pikmin 2.

>A hostile creature mimicking an onion.
>It produces pheromones that attracts your pikmin to it.
>Instead of housing them it instead dissolves and digests them.

`Olimar is low-key the best Nintendo character.

Friendly reminder that Olimar's only pride and joy is his son.

He used to have it for his daughter but according to his journal his daughter has become as much of a bitch as his wife

What are the chances that a future pikmin game has you playing as Olimar's son and you find Olimar's dead body on PNF404?

To be fair, 99% of his competition are silent protagonists.

For a while I’ve wanted to see a really hostile competing company/planet that’s willing to wage pikmin battles for resources. Sorta like the multiplayer but integrated into the campaign.

Actually, what I REALLY want is just a way to co-op the campaign mode. Weird that they have it for challenges but not the story. Maybe they’re worried about balance but let me play with a friend if I want. The story is basically a tutorial for the challenge modes anyway. I’ve wanted this feature since 2.

borb

You know, in the second game purples are also immune to knockback from wind. That's something I'd like to see experimented upon, maybe a puzzle with a giant fan blowing your pikmin back constantly and you'd need to turn it off by bringing pikmin to a switch

What aspects of Pikmin lore would you like to see explored?

What aspects of Pikmon lore do you think are best left unexplored?

I want to see more Pikmin types, even if I never get to use them. At the ending of Pikmin 1 all those different color onions appear and it was never mentioned again.

I want to see snagrets return to their once terrifying glory. They felt way too easy to deal with in 3.

Bulborb stole ma bike!

plasm wraith, unexplored. I'd rather keep it as this mysterious, unexplained presence following you through the games than this explainable phenomenon like an alien creature or something created by humans long ago. The mystery surrounding it and its obsession with Olimar is what gives it its charm. (On a completely related note, I would like to see it play a larger part besides a final boss in pikmin 4.)

I honestly just don't want to see the Plasm Wraith or a similar creature again. I prefer enemies that look and behave like they're a natural part of the ecosystem.

Bring back the piklopedia, and after the dry scientific description of an enemy include a section where the three of them discuss their thoughts

there are several in mission mode

Last one I played was 2, but never beat it.

How are the rest? All I own of the "new" consoles is a 3DS

>Mitite and bomb ambush
This is not fucking okay.

I really hope there are more man-made environments in Pikmin 4. Like a stage that's set in a house that's all abandoned and overgrown. One of the reasons I liked the Glutton's Kitchen was it's more unique aesthetic; I'd like to see more levels along its lines.

There's only 4 games. First 2 are universally loved. You should finish 2.
3 is also great but doesn't get much praise because I don't think many people owned a Wii U and played it.
Nobody played the 3DS one

What's the state of Pikmin mods/hacks nowadays? Anything challenging/unique/fun?

This
Except keep their thoughts separate instead of them having a group discussion. Having their own separate notes on everything would be too much, so maybe just choose one and have them solely write notes on it.

I saw that Lands of Torture thing a while back

milf alert

I would spend so much time just reading through the piklopedia notes by Olimar and Louie.

I once even went to a zoo and would listen to this song while there.

Olimar's ego slowly overinflating and getting to his head over the series is one of my favourite things about it.

Nah, when i was young i was afraid of dark caves and large monsters because my parents once basically forced me to go with them on a horror theme park ride, so once i got scared by the bird snake boss i never went to the caverns anymore and just fucked around on the overworld for comfy times. Unless of course i was at my friends house where we played co-op.
I gotta go back and play that game for real

I love that I could tell exactly what song it was even before opening the link. This game's OST is phenomenal.
