Star-Crossed World (and Forgotten Land Switch 2 Edition)

[supple thistle]

I’m so happy today. I love this game so much

This was already my favorite game of all time and they just made it even better

[random tendon]

that reminds me, I'm curious if this mode will change my overall opinion of FL

we will have to see

[random shoal]

i havent even really played it for myself yet (rip no switch 2 lol) and i already loved the game but. some aspects went up in my eyes nonetheless

but its not for this chat

[random tendon]

I can't wait for dale soul OS

[shut pendant]

the sign mouth controls are so wonky 😭

but i love it because the gimmick is so intentionally wonky in general

I CAN'T GET OVER HOW GOOD THE MUSIC IS DUDE

[magic eagle]

Turns out I have to wait until Noon to get in GameStop, did they change their hours AGAIN

[shut pendant]

stage 7 ||YOU GET TO VISIT THE 427 CLOCK AGAIN LET'S GOOO||

what happened to my streak of completing all missions

oh come on ||why are there so many no damage missions||

stage 8 name ||"Freezing Wind and Some Snowmen" is such a funny name||

[random tendon]

stage 6 music is peak

[supple thistle]

I JUST CAME HERE TO SAY stage 6 blew my mind

[shut pendant]

oh my god the ||sign mouth|| music is like perfectly timed, how did they do that

STAR GUIDE FIGURE YEAHH

[supple thistle]

Is anyone else really surprised at how perfectly spring mouth and gear mouth control. Like there is no way this is Hal labs first 3D game, I feel like every platformer struggles with these kinds of gimmicks 😭

[shut pendant]

i am lol

[gleaming stream]

I’ve heard gear mouth controls badly

[shut pendant]

winter horns figure ||NOOOO FUCKING WAY THEY MADE A TWIN WILD FROSTY FIGURE LMAOOO THEY KNOW||

[gleaming stream]

[shut pendant]

or i got lucky with that being the specific one i got

[random tendon]

oh I may have missed a mission lol

[tepid burrow]

They make me so mad

[gleaming stream]

FL’s missions continue to be a mixed bag eh

[shut pendant]

||TWIN WILD FROSTY IS CANONICALLY REALLY STRONG. THEY ACTUALLY KNOW ABOUT HOW DIFFICULT THE MISSION WAS 😭😭😭||

[random tendon]

isn't that post winter horns (I haven't clicked)

[tepid burrow]

Oh right, sorry

[gleaming stream]

They should tell you what the mission is outright

[random tendon]

you're good but that has to go to the spoiler thread yeah

[random tendon]

YEAH or at least make it an option

[shut pendant]

i really don't mind replaying the stages for missions cause i find them fun

except stage 6 that i had to play 3 times that became a bit tedious

[gleaming stream]

You’ll essentially have to play every level twice to get everything

[shut pendant]

they should've just made kirby move a bit faster

[supple thistle]

The challenges involving gear mouth are tricky so that’s probably it honestly 😭. Like I can say with confidence the way it moves matches perfectly with how I would expect it to when I move the control stick, it’s very crisp and concise and accurate, despite being on a different plane.

[gleaming stream]

When in doubt, speed boost powerup

[shut pendant]

winter horns after stage 1 ||is it normal that i can't see my vol 2 ex figure collection yet? i already got 2 vol 2 figures||

[random tendon]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I MISSED A STARRY???

oh I see

[supple thistle]

Once I’m done with just the dlc I’m totally gonna replay the whole game

I’d imagine the 2 extra levels help the games pacing a lot. I’m very excited to see how it flows with the main game

[shut pendant]

same

i just realized i haven't even noticed the 60fps yet

[random tendon]

oh time to backtrack again because if I don't get a single mission in this stage that would be sad lol

[random shoal]

yeah i think its the around the point where the stages get harder

[shut pendant]

i'm gonna take a break for a bit because i am so hungry i could eat a buffahorn

[random tendon]

oh nvm I don't think I can backtrack 😭

OH NVM

stage 6 mission ||I KNEW THIS SPOT LOOKED SUS IT DID HAVE A SMALL STARRYFLOWER||

that's the only mission I completed though 😭

[shut pendant]

was it ||on the left of the wall||

[random tendon]

yes

[shut pendant]

||i immediately checked their without gear mouth and figured there was just nothing there LOL||

WHY THE FUCK DOES MY SPOILER BLOCKER NOT WORK AT ALL

[random tendon]

||THAT IS WHAT I DID AT FIRST||

[shut pendant]

at least that thumbnail isn't a spoiler BUT WHY ISN'T IT BLOCKING THE THUMBNAIL

now i'm scared

[random tendon]

ASTRONOMER DEE FIGURE

[random tendon]

||YES HE IS BESTIES WITH WISE BEST LORE||

[gleaming stream]

It’s crazy how Kirby handled the transition to 3D better than most other franchises, ngl

[random tendon]

minor spoiler unrelated to actual gameplay ||THEY DID ADD RTDL AND DREAM BUFFET TO PAST ADVENTURES LOL||

[random shoal]

||i guess this means FL is still technically the latest game in the timeline||

[supple thistle]

Stage 6 100% ||this level has like one of the best bonus rooms in the series 😭||

[random tendon]

well I guess that's how I get spoiled on that 😭

[gleaming stream]

[supple thistle]

IM SORRY I THOUGHT THAT WAS VAGUE ENOUGH AND I THIUGHT YOU ALREADY DID STAGE 6

I’ll be more careful

[wooden notch]

planning on getting star crossed world tomorrow but i’m wondering if i should just play the star crossed world part or replay the entirety of forgotten land in 60 fps because it’s been a while since my last playthrough

[wise flame]

Damn I be on the lookout for secrets on a replay

But IDK if the good ol' "One in every 4 levels" logic even applies here

[gleaming stream]

FL missions be like: help the lost dee reunite with their lover

[wooden notch]

ngl i was more interested in 60 fps forgotten land than the new content lol

[random tendon]

I did but missed two missions 😔

[wooden notch]

what exactly does scw have over the original post game mode

[supple thistle]

Oh but did you already get all of the starries?

[random tendon]

OH I am dumb (I did)

I thought you meant something else

[supple thistle]

Ooooh sorry 😭.

[random tendon]

the stages in SCW are more like the base game stages, they are structured pretty much the same but instead of waddle dees it's starries

and there's new mouthfuls and it's a bit harder than base game

[supple thistle]

And also they’re all brand new levels

[random tendon]

you're fine LOL I am just a bit sensitive to spoilers

[supple thistle]

I understand. Still I’ll be more careful I get it

[random tendon]

yeah good to mention that, they're not reskins of previous ones like usually it's done in kirby

[wise flame]

Very much new levels, even if they start you at the first area of an old one... but just the first area

[supple thistle]

Yeah I feel like the trailers could’ve clarified that better I still see that misunderstanding a lot. Unless you’ve played the heck out of the game you aren’t exactly going to pick up on that just from footage

[random tendon]

some do start out the same but soon they change

[supple thistle]

It’s a shame there are still quite a few people that think they’re just selling us remixed levels

[wise flame]

"On this adventure, you will take a detour from places you once knew"

Damn they're adding crystals to every level

[supple thistle]

No literally 😭. Some people are so silly

[wise flame]

Ok I might be getting impatient but...

Man, "progress" in SCW sure is taking... a while

[supple thistle]

But yeah essentially it expands the game’s original content by 50% which is really good value for a dlc that’s only 1/3 of the original price. 100% worth it

[wise flame]

Zerbie has completed the level quantity equivalent of a World 1, and is ending a World 2

[random shoal]

the fact that new levels even have entirely new assets unrelated to crystal aesthetics is genuinely impressive

its both economical AND creative

[supple thistle]

I was thinking the same thing I’m like “wow these are just like entirely new set pieces””

[random shoal]

like at first i thought this was simply budget thing but then im like

this has pre-rendered cutscenes. budget is not an issue

i think its moreso time constraints

[random tendon]

YEAH

[random shoal]

the fact that some levels just take you off the familiar path is also so creative. its like going out of bounds of a familiar area

[random tendon]

I wouldn't put it at 50% tbh but I also agree that the value is fair

[supple thistle]

I think they also just felt really passionate about wanting to add every idea they could, but were limited due to the switch 1s hardware. Every single new mouthful mode demands a LOT more space in the level and more loaded in at once. Considering they are the most in depth and impactful mouthful modes, I’d go as far as to say they were concepts for the original game but just weren’t able to make it in.

[random shoal]

thats also possible yeah

[random tendon]

I REALLY need to know about the dev of this DLC

so much

nintendo dream save us

[random shoal]

credits give some clues but thats not here to discuss

[random tendon]

interesting

[wise flame]

Ok so yesterday I was just going through the menus, just... looking

But then, I saw something unsettling...

[random tendon]

btw I do know one thing about the credits, all composers involved... but that's it

[wise flame]

...They updated Kirby's past games book!

[random tendon]

and the rest I want to find out myself

[wise flame]

...Ok that wasn't what unsettled me.

I... WILL NOT elaborate further since you can also find out yourselves as soon as you start SCW.

All I can say is that, well, I felt unease /pos

[random tendon]

anyway I am taking a break now

just got to winter horns

[gleaming stream]

Kirby is cold

[supple thistle]

I love the nostalgic guitar they use for both vocal tracks

https://tenor.com/view/say-that-again-gif-968943876633031890

[magic eagle]

Now I got the code

[wise flame]

Hrm, spring mouth is... fun

But the next one... it grinds my gears

[sullen moat]

Probably gonna buy the DLC today, even if I don't get to playing it until sometime after

[shut pendant]

i have consumed a pizza and am back

[shut pendant]

did it make you jump for joy?

okay i just got the best figure ever

[random shoal]

the best figure yet

[shut pendant]

||The Rivalry Lives On!||

the one right after is even better

||cactus||

[proper blaze]

wondaria stage 2 ||"dont get hit by parade car" mission is making me want to eat my hands||

[shut pendant]

welp i have reached the end of winter horns and shall thus leave this channel

goodbye

||OH MY GOD THERE'S A SECOND NAP TIME FIGURE||

gigi will probably like this figure

[supple thistle]

Where’s the spoiler channel 😭 Did they not make it yet?

[frank iris]

Is it just me or did this update nerf hammer?

[broken void]

Check #1019287715159744553
If you want to talk about final boss stuff though, then head to the thread in #1009165798239121448

[sand patrol]

They did remove hammer glitch apparently

[supple thistle]

Thank you!

[frank iris]

Ah, so it wasn’t just me sucking…. That’s a little unfortunate…

[shut pendant]

[random tendon]

[elder sapphire]

any other brokies without switch 2s waiting for a preferred content creator to stream their playthrough? :/

[random tendon]

I'm going to continue in a few

[green crater]

I agree with RHV on this one, you def will

[elder sapphire]

i'm cursed, i tell ye! most of the CCs i watch almost never play kirby stuff.

hopefully connoreatspants plays it later today, but there's like 0% chance he checks out any side content lol

[random shoal]

i just watched friends stream it and some other stuff from random channels because im not picky

but the only letsplayer that i watch, skawo. started doing a blind playthrough today

so im excited for that

[elder sapphire]

i wish i wasn't picky lol

[random tendon]

you looking for a gameplay with commentary I'm guessing?

(because I assume some of the usual non-commentary and gameplay only channels must have everything up lol)

[elder sapphire]

pretty much, yeah. a personality that I already know I like.

[random tendon]

fair enough

I hope you find one soon

[green crater]

Yeah that last qualifier makes it tricky. I've got a few people I hope play, but I haven't seen anything yet (which is fine, more time for me to finish 100%ing it)

[elder sapphire]

thanks!

[random tendon]

this is how I feel /lh

[elder sapphire]

I'd be totally ok with waiting if it weren't for the fact that im trying to avoid spoilers.

[random tendon]

I think the factor switch 2 + it's DLC and not a full brand new game is making this not super mainstream just yet

[fringe mist]

What was hammer glitch again?

[random tendon]

I mostly know of big kirby fans playing it right now (not ALL people I know but)

[random tendon]

hammer super jump

that allows you to go out of bounds

[elder sapphire]

if I weren't a broke college student, i'd just play the game for myself. but alas. youtube/twitch is always my last resort.

[random shoal]

if only you knew how much i mentioned you in the spoilers chat

basically im excited to see you finish it soon lol

[fringe mist]

shoutouts to that really, really emotional Japanese artist & vtuber who cries at just about everything Kirby

I have not seen her VODs yet but I know she has been streaming the game

[random tendon]

okay now you will make me go back once I beat it then to see those LOL

[fringe mist]

Ah, that. Wonder if other aspects of Hammer remain the same (like Toy Hammer being stupid powerful at max upgrade)

[random tendon]

I think that will stay

but the hammer super jump was straight up a glitch lol

[elder sapphire]

in hindsight, making the dlc switch 2 exclusive is kinda cruel LMAO

[fringe mist]

It might also be something only possible with the upgraded hardware

[random shoal]

i think this was a compromise to have some mainline kirby content to be switch 2 exclusive at the console's launch

[green crater]

Having played it, they definitely took advantage of the S2. I don't think it would run at all in S1, even without all the particle effects

[random shoal]

i mean. it is working aint it. we both want the thing because of it lol

[fringe mist]

Look at the sheer amount of particle effects in Star-Crossed World

[elder sapphire]

yeah... i know...

[fringe mist]

That shit would make the whole game look like The Three Mage-Sisters fight

[random shoal]

honestly the particle effects isnt what is the most pretty to me

its the reflections

reflections are so fucking cool dude

[fringe mist]

My point was that it's a resource hog, but reflections absolutely would be that, too

[green crater]

The whole thing is very pretty. Makes me wanna just sit their and study color design

[elder sapphire]

"YEAH! mainline kirby content exclusive to switch 2! that's great!"
...
"wait a minute... i dont have a switch 2"

[random tendon]

I still think it's a primarily money driven move, but they did take advantage of it at least

[random shoal]

i will get switch 2. eventually. and will play this thing.

[random tendon]

like maybe if they changed some things it could run on switch 1? I guess but they also took good advantage of switch 2

[toxic delta]

it's funny because they actually did not patch a lot of stuff including some crashes lol
but guess the superjumps were because they were well-known

[random tendon]

so I don't mind this

[random shoal]

although i fear by the time i get switch 2 an actual honest to goodness new mainline kirby will come out

and that will obviously take priority

but i WILL play it for myself. eventually

[random tendon]

yeah and I know lots of stuff was possible because you could get out of bounds lol

[fringe mist]

yeah, Kirby Air Riders baybeeeee

[random shoal]

well its not a mainline kirby

but air riders would also take priority over dlc

[shut pendant]

let me guess, is ||slobby king|| your favorite figure?

[elder sapphire]

yeah, a new mainline is pretty much the only thing that could make me buy a switch 2 lol
otherwise, gaming isnt really a priority at the moment

[random shoal]

i do really like it but its not my favorite

[shut pendant]

dang

[random shoal]

my favorite this time around is spoilery and its lore-related

so i will shush

[shut pendant]

||that figure is probably also postgame exclusive since it has dedede lying down like after beating the game||

[random tendon]

the kumazaki figure......

[random shoal]

yeah def

i dont think its a spoiler but while translation-wise its mostly accurate, it does have one flaw

in terms of translation

[random tendon]

anyway time to continue

[random shoal]

||japanese description is written in the first person, as if dedede himself is talking. and he mentions feeling particularly regretful "about that one waddle dee", implying he still cant let go that he let that one waddle dee trip in redgar||

[elder sapphire]

like, buying a switch 2 for basically just one game and one dlc... doesnt sound like a sound investment to me LMAOO

[random shoal]

well i mean i also wanna play dk bananza and they are probably gonna be more new games on the horizon

but yeah its not a top priority purchase so i can keep chucking away at saving up for it

[elder sapphire]

and all the recent stuff surrounding nintendo has really turned me off from rewarding them with my cash

[green crater]

I was going to get a Switch 2 eventually anyway, but yeah "dlc + a spin off" was like just barely over my "if this happens, I'll buy one" threshold and I was a bit grumpy about it lol

[elder sapphire]

remote bricking because of modding and hacking is just extremely icky to me

[random shoal]

remote bricking isnt really possible

the most they can do is disable online

which they were doing since 3ds days

but nintendo def got way greedier and i dislike it

the only reason i ponder buying switch 2 is because they still make good games that i feel invested in

[green crater]

I maintain that companies aren't your friend, even if they pretend to be. BUT sometimes they make things you like

[random shoal]

yeah basically

[elder sapphire]

yeah, i meant that theyve updated it to be much more sensitive, to the point where it feels like the console isn't truly fully yours anymore (imo)

[random shoal]

nintendo was never our friend

[random shoal]

eh im sure people will be able to work around it anyway when the time comes lol.

[green crater]

Nintendo, the game developers: Pretty cool, seem to care a lot
Nintendo, the corporate entity:

[random shoal]

nintendo hackers are some of the most dedicated

the only credit i can give corporate nintendo is that they treat their workers well and have progressive lgbtq policies

that's it

that's like the bare minimum anyway

[fringe mist]

...

of all things I come back to in this thread

[elder sapphire]

I BEEN knowing that lmao.
cant really blame em tho, greed and infinite growth is pretty much what capitalism is built to do.

[green crater]

The topic began with people talking about how SCW isn't quite enough to pull the trigger on buying a S2 yet

[fringe mist]

No, I know that, I was bouncing between here and the Air Riders thread

[shut pendant]

it looks like they really had fun making all these new figures
(and also just kinda used random object models lol)

[green crater]

I bought my S2 for SCW, but I do appreciate the faster load times on all my other games ~~said the girl who mostly just plays Animal Crossing ~~

[shut pendant]

...i just got the same random object model figure 3 times in a row

fucking scammer took 750 dolar

[broken void]

No pity system for you

[green crater]

I love that the "gacha machine" looks like a painted cardboard box

[fringe mist]

I just am not a fan of when the subject goes to the angle of ethics and morals with big companies because things can get pretty damn toxic (and I have already coughed it up a lot in the past in relation to that)

[elder sapphire]

didnt they update the hardware/firmware so that they can tell if you're hacking/modding even if you're offline and in a 2nd environment? that's what has me most upset.

[shut pendant]

erm it's called a GOTCHA machine

[shrewd oracle]

i actually got all the unique vol 1 figures from the ones you can get from the level drops before i ever touched the machine 😭

[fringe mist]

So on that note, I'll disappear from this thread for a half hour

[green crater]

Yes, please reach into the box of mystery (it's made of cardboard)

[shrewd oracle]

at one point i kept getting all dupes so i was like oh i guess i got them all lol

the gotcha machine ex is funny to me

[elder sapphire]

theres pretty much only two things that can get me to buy a switch 2.

1. new mainline kirby
2. kirby limited edition console lol

if $70-80 games are the new norm, then I'm basically priced out of my gaming hobby.
im probably gonna stick to only buying kirby games, and, ahem, totally legally obtained pc games for anything that isn't kirby lol.

[random tendon]

stage 7 ||I find it really funny that in this stage the full northest frost street is only during the sign mouth section lol||

[random shoal]

this is just a rumor out of control. nintendo can't brick the console from the distance, thats like literally impossible to do. they only can cut your access to online features if you theoretically use cfw while being connected to online servers.

if you google it literally the first link debunks this notion

[random tendon]

stage 7 ||not get caught by cocori snowballs man. that one stage made them look so terrifying to me 😭||

[random shoal]

but yeah sorry for getting off topic

[random tendon]

oh hey ||volume 2 figures jumpscare||

[elder sapphire]

i swear i read that even if you're not connected to their servers, they can still tell if you've used cfw due to the switch 2's updated telemetry tools

but yeah, you're right we're getting off topic lol

[vagrant hound]

||I love how this made so many people HATE corori more than before, and they were already pretty hated in first place in og FL lol||

[random shoal]

its about breaking into nintendo servers and account services, not firmware

big difference

[random tendon]

oh hi yukkuri

are you feeling better /gen

[random shoal]

anyway, ||this dlc rocks because it brought back snowman puzzle from triple deluxe||

[random tendon]

||I WAS ABOUT TO MENTION THAT||

[vagrant hound]

I got knocked out very hard on a table while doing second SCW file, so Im having massive headache rn lol

[shrewd oracle]

they have a lot of ||"don't get hit by x"|| missions in this i feel lol

[random tendon]

||wait what I swear I got a vol 2 figure, but I can't find my vol 2 collection in the ex collection menu????||

[vagrant hound]

I’m almost done with 2nd file yippeeeee

[urban yoke]

Caved and started watching a playthrough </3

[wise flame]

NGL seeing your status remain online... it scares me

[vagrant hound]

Okay tbh I passed out

[wise flame]

Anyways, oh my god I'm missing so much starries lately

[elder sapphire]

did you mean you just hit yourself, or did you actually get fully knocked out 😰

[vagrant hound]

For like 4 hours

[wise flame]

Oh shit

[urban yoke]

Are you okay???

[vagrant hound]

I was playing and trying to collect the missing Starries I missed out on and idk what happened after

[wise flame]

I think... you should... relax for a while

[elder sapphire]

if you actually fully blacked out, then that's legit something you should probably go to the hospital

[random shoal]

yukkuri your health is more important 😭

we appreciate your passion but please take care of yourself

[fringe mist]

Are your sugar levels okay?

As a diabetic who got diagnosed this year with type 2, that was my immediate thought

[random tendon]

yeah yukkuri I often worry about you /gen

[vagrant hound]

I did not eat anything yesterday and only slept for 3 hours before SCW

Probably why

I’m okay tho

[urban yoke]

Go eat please!

[fringe mist]

THAT WOULD EXPLAIN IT

[urban yoke]

Like seriously man…

[fringe mist]

GO EAT YUKKURI, FOLLOW YOUR NAMESAKE

[vagrant hound]

I GOT TOO CAUGHT UP WITH THE GAMEEEEE

ITS THAT GOOD

And I’m a FL hater /hj

[urban yoke]

THATS UNDERSTANDABLE BUT PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF…

[elder sapphire]

fully blacking out/getting knocked out is never a casual thing like it is in movies. i'm being so fr, loss of consciousness should never be treated casually.

please take care of yourself

[fringe mist]

By the way, the other reason why I asked about your energy and/or sugar is because being knocked the fuck out like that happened to Hungrybox on stream

streamed an entire online tournament run, and fainted after winning grands

[vagrant hound]

😭

[elder sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/hbox-hungrybox-gaming-faint-die-gif-21121550

[trim sail]

It could definitely run on Switch 1 with some adjustments yeah most of the assets and lighting are the same as they were with the Switch 1 version

[fringe mist]

He had not eaten in about 7 hours or so

and his adrenaline knocked him out from the hypoglycaemia, most likely

[elder sapphire]

like, please get that headache checked out 😭

[vagrant hound]

Yeah no worries I’m eating and drinking rn

[fringe mist]

Crystal assets?

[trim sail]

Yep

[random tendon]

stage 8 music ||metro on ice jumpscare||

[fringe mist]

I guess the thing I'd see is that it would likely not look as rich as it does on Switch 2 if they did make a Switch 1 thing for it

[random shoal]

that remix is so goooooood

[elder sapphire]

i still havent been able to gather if you experienced head trauma, or if you passed out.
like, both are serious things, but obviously the first one is incredibly much more dangerous.

[sand patrol]

I was so confused how people were getting through this so quick

Then I remembered you dont need to start a new save

[random tendon]

yeah I'm just using my 100% one

[shut pendant]

holy shit with gear mouth if you ||attack while on a wall and then immediately jump you get a really good speed boost||

||speedrun tech?? in MY kirby game????||

[random tendon]

stage 8 ||I bet the last mission is "solve all snowmen puzzles without making the heads fall" or something and I guess I already didn't get it 😔 ||

||hey at least I found the hidden cave idk what was the first mission lol||

oh guess I will go to spoilers thread

[urban yoke]

The music

[gleaming stream]

Cya

[wise flame]

Hey guys I'm too deep in, I will not speak any further here

[vital lodge]

wanna play the whole Switch 2 Edition but I have to study :(

[magic eagle]

I’m having trouble with|| finding the last Flower on the wall||

[shadow kindle]

I kinda want to buy the physical version even though I have the upgrade pack already

[formal warren]

WAIT, FR?!

[magic eagle]

Yep, tried doing it and it didn’t work

[formal warren]

It's been real, hammer glitch gang

[signal garnet]

GODDAMMIT
Annuversues lately keep being the perfect bane of my existence

His hat is purple!

Also i love making a backpack work on a creature like a waddle dee

They aren't going to make "wa-wa" work 😭

[high widget]

how have you people not heard of coffee with milk 😭 its called mocha

ok its not but like

Milk and Coffee is something u can order in starbucks

or like. any cafe ever

[random tendon]

yeah that's why I'm so confused still 😭

[acoustic robin]

I swear the Dragon Fire ability feels different now…

[sonic quail]

Beat stage 4
Only got the last mission

[acoustic robin]

if you just tap Attack quickly, it won’t spawn a lingering flame anymore 🤔
i wonder if that’s an oversight due to the higher framerate

[tepid burrow]

Is there a way to farm Starry Coins?

[signal garnet]

ok its not but-
Post ignored

/j

[high widget]

the ideal is just replaying the SCW stages i think

or you cuold put in the STARCROSSEDWORLD code to the waddle mail guy

you'll get 1500 Starry Coins

and a Rare Stone

(and 1500 regular coins)

[signal garnet]

||Its honestly really fucking weird how the devs seemed to almost just-||

||Not think of that||

[hallow coral]

so far the music in scw has been really really good

passwords

[signal garnet]

||not everyone's going to think of passwords 😭||

||btw is there enough password money in the game to buy everything? And excluding Twitter ones ofc||

[high widget]

idk ive heard rumors that they added offline passwords like they have in basegame for SCW but idk if thats true or not

but rn there's only STARCROSSEDWORLD i can think of

Ok I'm confused on the figurines starting from Winter Horns...

[signal garnet]

||i was not expecting ingame niechel content||

[wise flame]

[An EX Volume starting in Winter Horns]
I hope my saves aren't bugged or anything, because ||Some of the figures are 'locked' behind stuff you do in the base game... but problem is, I started on a 100% save file...||

[high widget]

read the description again

[wise flame]

And even when I do what's required... nothing happens

[signal garnet]

Me when they inevitably appear FL 2

[high widget]

||"This figurine will be added to the Gotcha Machine selection when you clear [x]"||

its not saying ||Do this to get it||

its saying ||it will unlock into the RNG pool when you do [x]||

[wise flame]

???

[high widget]

just talk to Astronomer Waddle Dee

and Gotcha that way

[wise flame]

Ok so like ||If I already did what's required, then the figure shouldn't be shown as 'locked'||

Ah whatever I'll see it later

[high widget]

||It's not locked, its a hint as to how to get it||

because ||SCW can be played without a full save file of FL||

My review: A-

It does what it set out to do: be an extra adventure.
Levels were good as always, very darn tricky!
When I played with base, unupgraded abilities, the bosses (especially later on) SERIOUSLY kicked my ass at times.
Good climactic finale, great music overall.
If you were expecting a standalone adventure with as much depth as the base game's story content, best lower your expectations a bit.
It's quite literally extra content!

Whatever complaints I have regarding SCW, I will express them in the SCW Leaks thread

[fading tartan]

IM GENUINELY SICK

APPARENTLY IF YOU PLAY SCW WHILE ELFILINS KIDNAPPED THERES A DIFFERENT VERSION OF THE BEGINNING CUTSCENE

• KIRBYS SADDER THAN USUAL
• THE MUSIC IS MORE SOMBER
• THERE IS A NOTICABLE LACK OF ELFILIN

[wise flame]

Ok dude what the hell

I'm not 100% yet (way too tired) but yeah that was a trip

[formal warren]

No lie, I seriously can not wait for another official 3D Kirby game like Forgotten Land. It's just way too good

[whole spire]

I feel like Fecto Forgo rn (I am waiting for money to go into my bank account so I can buy Star Crossed World)

[formal warren]

I'm really starting to think the government is actually watching me. The SECOND I beaten SCW, youtube fills my home page with SCW spoilers.

Brb, leaving the universe

[wide peak]

played tru the whole dlc it's pretty good not the best thing to happen to kirby but it's peak that's all i'll say if you have a switch 2 a copy of kirby and the forgotten land and 20 bucks yeah i say get the game 100%

[whole spire]

sadly already know what the final bosses' ||hand ||looks like

[high widget]

i dont think youre allowed to even mention that

[wide peak]

my only issue that it's on switch 2 and remember the console is hella new and hella expensive

there's really nothing to do after playing tru the whole dlc since switch 2 isn't hacked yet that means no mods exist unlike switch 1 which you can just jump right into modding and making the game physical hell for the 2017 console

[tribal igloo]

IT CAME IT FINALLY CAME!!

[green crater]

If it weren't so expensive, I'd love to pick up a physical copy just for the box

[high widget]

my friend also got a physical copy

i think they already had the game too

yo I was playing through one of the star crossed carnival stages when I went into a ferris wheel cart and found this secret message on the wall inside. When I translated it came out as “See you in the new world!” Idk if this has any lore relevance or it’s just a neat little easter egg but either way I’m loving this dlc so far.

There's a lot of emotional power to that little graffiti

PSA: Do not use social media! There are untagged spoilers floating around with these kinds of text in an attempt to remove spoilers, HOWEVER such method often has spoilery media (images, videos) that is not censored!

If you still choose to use social media, you are running the risk of being spoiled. Good luck.

[sudden mirage]

[gleaming stream]

I don’t understand people who censor like this, it’s literally ineffective

[arctic gale]

It works in youtube comment sections, but not really twitter

[green crater]

Also tbh, social media is mostly fine, unless you're letting recommended stuff rule your timeline

If I only look at the people I actually follow, they're not the kind of people to spoil stuff. It's when the system decides to show you stuff it thinks you want to see is when it gets risky

||Kirby... chews?||

Side note I think upgrading my abilities to +⭐ was a mistake lmao

These minibosses are getting melted

Sometimes literally

[wise flame]

Side note I think playing with default base-level abilities was a mistake lmao

These minibosses were melting me

[broken void]

Lmao

Clearly we must strike a balance

[random tendon]

I played with regular evolved evos lol

that felt like a balance

LOL

[broken void]

That sounds fair lmao

[random tendon]

I had only space ranger with +

I did upgrade later morpho for the new cup but that's it still

[broken void]

Back when I was replaying UCZ i would upgrade abilities that were specifically great at dps - like I even upgraded base fire over dragon fire cuz it deals more damage. So yeah everything is just dying lmao

[wise flame]

never had mid-bosses taken huge chunks of my HP like that

[broken void]

Next miniboss I face I'll go abilityless

[random tendon]

I do feel the mode was indeed made to be post-game, but it's tricky because you can do it after natural plains. I think maybe they balanced out so that earlier stages are easier maybe?

[charred fiber]

I had already upgraded Morpho to + before playing and it was basically hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby against the minibosses

[broken void]

i swear this beach theme is just a couple changes away from sounding like Don't Forget

Wait no. The Legend I mean

Oh my god
2-1 ||was playing through and wondering what one of the missions was and was saying jokingly to myself "don't get snapped by the crocodiles" and then seconds later that achievement pops up 😭||

[lean grove]

I think my least favorite mission was like
Wondaria 2nd starry stage ||don't get run over by the parade cars because it stressed me out the entire level||

[green crater]

On difficulty, I did 99% of SCW story with base abilities. It was a bit tricky in some places, but moooostly doable. I did eventually go grab my regular evolved abilities, but I was able to do most of it ok without

[vagrant hound]

huh

[broken void]

[broken void]

Someone was typing with a name that sounded similar to yours

[marsh hull]

Okay so I've had time to think about the Star Crossed World as well as Kirby Forgotten Land Switch 2 Edition after I beat it last night

Uh... yeah it's excellent, any and all doubts I had of me truly liking it are gone LMAO

[broken void]

calling it now the last hidden achievement for this 4-2 level is ||don't let the snowman heads fall off||

||wow how'd i guess that what a surprise||

[vagrant hound]

[vagrant hound]

||ngl, I was able to guess 80-90% of what the achivement would be, thanks to the base game mission||

||like, they're different, of course, but at this point, I suspected everything I can think of LOL||

[broken void]

real lmao - i haven't been able to guess all but there's a fair few where it's like Yeah this is the achievement

Like uhh ||both "don't get bit by crocodiles" and "don't get caught in snowballs" i intuited||

[signal garnet]

I forgot to say this about the demo but why do the starrys make wiimote sounds

[signal garnet]

Correct, I fell for a doppelganger

Absolute cinema

[signal garnet]

Same when I saw it in the trailer its segments kinda looked kinda frustrating

[sand patrol]

||compression doesn't help here but you can clearly see the fecto larva cheek antenna||

[sand patrol]

These levels are really good

But they really like dont get hit challenges

[random tendon]

today I'm going to redo most stages since I missed most of those missions lol

[sand patrol]

Im regretting my decision to replay the entire game

[random tendon]

rip

[sand patrol]

Im kinda rushing though base stages just to get to new stuff and getting annoyed at my insistence to 100% new levels before moving on

I think the new levels are really fucking good though

But i wont lie im very anxious about being spoiled so im rushing a bit instead if taking my time

The abandoned beach EX level went hard

[random tendon]

I agree the level design in these goes hard

[sand patrol]

Though Wondaria stage 2 made me very annoyed when ||i couldn't find the last flower||

When I did finally get it I felt like an idiot

Cause I ||acknowledged the curved wall and though it was weird and didn't even think to use gear mouth||

[random tendon]

||tbh same and I almost didn't find it either lol I had to backtrack in desperation||

[random tendon]

I did the same lol

[sand patrol]

I did 3 replays of the level

Its one of the longer ones to replay so it was annoying but its all a skill issue

Still prolly my least favorite so far just cause it is so long

[random tendon]

it has cool music and ideas but felt

I think I missed mission 1 and 3 on that

[rocky berry]

tbh this dlc (and replaying the main story again) made me hate missions even more

i'd be completely fine the next game just went back to 3-5 of X thing in every level or whatever

[sand patrol]

Missions are still good but i thinking hidding them feels arbitrary

[random tendon]

I say give us an option to reveal them before at least

[sand patrol]

But they force high level design engagement in more ways then just exploration

Replaying levels should be a single option

[random tendon]

I hope missions staying the same was just because they couldn't change much from base FL

[sand patrol]

Theres definitely ways to make them less tedious but the actual design of them is 90% good

[random tendon]

I can see the peak level design in these HAL, let me appreciate your peakness without the stress of "what if me taking damage just now made me miss a mission"

[rocky berry]

they can def work but honestly revisiting the game i found many of them very tedious

[sand patrol]

Restart from checkpoint should be an option as well

[random tendon]

oh true

[rocky berry]

so if they don't return next game i won't be sad

[sand patrol]

Im not nessearily against removing them

But i think they just need some tweaks

But its a fundamentally solid system for 3d Kirby

Since Kirby is already buokt on explorative linear level design expanding the ways you need to interact with the levels is a strong compliment

[rocky berry]

i agree to an extent but they gotta dial back a bit on how many of them there are imo

i felt overwhelmed in every level for the dkc trying collect some of them

[random tendon]

I do wonder if stages in SCW having a lot of "don't take damage of x" is a result of a more focused level design on the actual save starries with missions as an afterthought. in that sense maybe this is why level design feels better. idk if I'm just making this up though lol

[random tendon]

I think one mission per stage feels like

like a rare keychain/sticker to find was in TD/PR

if you get it first try, cool

if not, you can redo the stage with that single focus

[sand patrol]

I think its just cause the dlc is explicitly trying to be harder

So no damage is a pretty straight forward way to make things harder

I think bosses should have all their objectives shown before you start besides the secret specific one

Eat dededes hammer

Run through gorimomdos legs ect

[broken void]

Don't worry I'll make you feel like less of an idiot compared to me
||it was my 3rd run through where I finally found this thing. I got to the end of the level and I had... 3/5 of the flowers. I forgot to get the 2 easy ones at the end because I was just autopiloting the rest of the level 😭||

[sand patrol]

And fir take no damage on a thing

Make those appear and get crossed off as soon as you take damage

So you can just know you need to restart

[random tendon]

this is a good system

[violet gorge]

I can agree with the reveal for the levels, not so much the bosses I feel like they have a chance of revealing what the boss is early or how the fight is gonna work. Even if minor. Personally Im fine with all the challenges for the most part just not the “do this fight with this ability” ones

[sand patrol]

Well

Thats why I said the specific objective should stay hidden

But the time and no damage should just be there

And maybe the ability to beat it with it

[violet gorge]

Oh alright then yea ok

[sand patrol]

Those dont spoil anything

Now the time and no damage ones are at the bottom of the list for this reason

So if you didn't get it first try youll know the specific objective after one playthrough of the boss

But even remembering back to my first playthough I never remember getting annoyed by them its only now when they very specific and kinda hard

Lots of do or die objectives here which isn't a problem but they did not build a system that replay friendly

[violet gorge]

Maybe they could make it so if you want all the objectives revealed or the one you missed revealed for a level at the start of each level they can add like an explorer waddle dee who you can pay to reveal some or all the missions

[sand patrol]

Maybe

But overall i think there implementation is still strong but some tweaks to make them less tedious would go a long way

Especially fir the dlc

[violet gorge]

I do hope the system comes back, and yea probably tweaked a little bit

I still love that waddle dee missions feel like a return of how the dark matter trilogy handled collectables

[sand patrol]

It was frankly a pretty smart solution to the more expansive level design

Something 2d titles dont really need since it can engage its players more with tighter hazards and enemies

Which the modern totes mainly do

[violet gorge]

Yea

[random tendon]

ok time to redo some early stages for missions

[random tendon]

the level design in these is so good man

def a step up to FL

[sudden mirage]

the Everything is a step up from base game which was already phenomenal

[random tendon]

stage 2-2 ||the way they teach you that cone mouth can walk on the platforms that are a big covered in water so that you can walk through that same kind of platform to then walk to the enemy rush. chef's kiss||

[random tendon]

personally I never found the level design in base FL anything like super special, it was good but not fantastic. I think this one may rival robobot's level design if not better ngl

btw is the last mission in 3-2 ||don't get hit by the parade cars right||

because I only have the hint of the first mission (also missed that)

because if yes for the last mission,sigh that will be annoying

[shut pendant]

it is

[random tendon]

https://tenor.com/view/angai313-spongebob-sad-spongebob-crying-gif-21679826

[shut pendant]

it's the mission i said was ||on a similar level as no-hit twin wild frosty||

||idk why this game has so many no-hit missions lol||

[random tendon]

def feels like it

||this one at least doesn't have you go to the end of the stage just to see if you mess up... but I guess trying to not mess it up for the whole stage is not any better LOL||

[lean grove]

I think exploration missions make sense for this kind of game so I don't mind them too much

no-hits and other things that you can't redo without exiting the level kinda suck yeah

[random tendon]

yeah

[random shoal]

i said this before and i will say it again

missions should stay but only ones that remain hidden should be the missions related to exploration

missions that are more like challenges shouldn't be, its pointless

[random tendon]

I prefer them too. I even found a HAL room in this playthrough completely blind and I was legit jumping

[random shoal]

the game doesn't always communicate the best what kind of ability you should use for what thing or how you shouldn't get hit or die by any specific thing

i really do feel like these missions were added because they were afraid the game might seem too short

[random tendon]

I will also say though, sort of what elfilin does in forgo dreams is also good. like "hey kirby I think there's something here". that alone for me is enough

either a confirmation you fully explored a room, or a hint that maybe you missed something

and maybe make it toggable

[random shoal]

yeah that would also be nice

i def feel like mission system is gonna get updated in the next game, the only reason it wasnt in this dlc is because, well, its a dlc

only so much you can do with pre-existing base

[random tendon]

that is what I figured too, and I hope, because the level design in SCW is stellar, but I can't personally put this as a top 3 kirby game for me still because of the mission system unfortunately

next mainline 3D has so much potential after playing SCW. if they did this for DLC they are cooking so hard

[rustic crow]

I agree if you need to do stuff with no damage those should totally be stated up front
But I don't mind completely mind ending up needing to redo stages in certain instances because I couldn't figure out everything on the first go
I have no issues with Kirby being easy but running into some snags here and there adds an interesting level of friction instead of being handed everything you need to do on a silver platter

I mean they added those retry stars to the sort of racing/auto scrolling sections of the game to cut back on backtracking to those which was definitely a big help

[random tendon]

yeah I like the retry warp stars they are helpful

while yesterday I didn't redo any stages, I did retry a couple parts that had those, I think a stage from world 5

[rustic crow]

On that note the missions in SCW were definitely super specific
Like in 1-2 ||Not getting hit by the meteor's of the crystal enemy specifically. XP||

You could probably take a list of the missions from the base game and put them along side SCWs and you'd see there's way more text per mission description in the SCW category||

[lean grove]

||I did get that one first time but honestly it's a strange one||

||since everyone is just learning their attack patterns for the first time||

[rustic crow]

I wonder

||What if in the next Kirby game with missions you could use Star Coins to pay to unlock mission descriptions so you know what to expect going into a stage if you so wished?||

||And the more you unlock the more expensive each unlock is for that particular stage (50 for one, 100 for two, and 150/or 200 for all three or something like that||

[random tendon]

OH GOD YES

[random tendon]

I DID THIS FIRST TRYU

LETS GO

well first retry but still lol

[long locust]

Whew, finally got the levels and other stuff finished but I still need to get figurines
Is there a good level to farm starry coins?

[random tendon]

probably best bet to ask in the leaks channel

oh right 4-1 mission is no corori snowball hits

tbh this feels harder than the parade cars LOL

but if I just focus on beating the stage I hope it's not as bad

[sudden mirage]

yeah what I’ve been doing is all the other missions first then come back and do the no damage stuff by itself

otherwise it’s just a waste of time lol

[random tendon]

okay I did it yippie

[thorny fulcrum]

Dreading those tbh

Especially the parade cars bc it’s difficult for me to see exactly where they go

[random tendon]

for parade cars, I recommend watching them a bit before, they have clear paths and if you see them move for a bit you can see them

that helped me

[shrewd oracle]

the ||corori no hit is definitely more annoying than parade cars i think||

||the parade cars have really clear lanes of movement and the game also doesn't ask you to weave between them too much||

actually ig i don't need to tag lol

and also the game gives you drill in those levels

[random tendon]

another annoying one now is ||snowball head no falling||

[lean grove]

||I did consider that but tbh I think it's just more stressful because cocori is only the first half of the stage||

||meanwhile you can just screw up on the last part with gear mouth which can't be dodged by drill||

[thorny fulcrum]

Ok now that is just superhell

||I think I was on the last one and it fell off last second 😭||

[random tendon]

I DID IT

YAY

that was stressful

[tribal igloo]

||KIRBYS NEW "HI'S" ARE MELTTING MY HEART||

[still frost]

So I am going to play with a friend later

One thing I want to know before I start

[charred fiber]

||I kept getting screwed over by the second head veering to the left at the end||

[still frost]

the direct said that you can start star crossed worlds the moment you complete world 1

or the trailer

[random tendon]

yeah

[still frost]

I mean

Do you have to beat each world in order to do the star crossed world varient of that world? or can you beat world 1, and go through the entirety of star crossed worlds?

[random tendon]

pretty sure it's the former, the latter doesn't make sense

[still frost]

I see

Thank you

[random tendon]

I know others have done but not me I just used a 100% save

[still frost]

ah

my friend has a switch 2 and got the complete addition

I don't have a switch 2

I have a 100% complete game

he doesn't

[random tendon]

the idea of this mode is remixed stages of the main mode, hence my assumption

it would be odd to unlock the varitions before the original stages

[still frost]

Right

I just wanted to know how it works

Thanks!

[random tendon]

no problem

[long locust]

BTW were both super jump glitches patched (Dragon Fire and hammer)?

I presume it's by adding an invisible ceiling on the hub world if it is patched

[green crater]

It's almost certainly patched, lots of people have tried and failed. I dunno about the non hammer ones I guess, but presumably they'd be under the same umbrella

But also the glitch was never exclusive to the town, so adding a ceiling wouldn't be practical. They probably just fixed whatever code caused it in the first place

[toxic delta]

there were more than those two (like with Ice and Dive Attack), a it was Fire in general, not just Dragon Fire
but yeah superjumps in general aren't in SCW
and no it's not fixed by adding more 'invisible ceiling(s)' (as if that would work well at all and glitch was never exclusive to Waddle Dee Town), it just doesn't work at all (probably fixed the root cause of all of them)

there are bit of other glitches still in though, including some ones that allow you to gain height (but harder and more tedious to do. not sure how to do them myself)

[olive coral]

kinda surprised how prosafia hasn't spoiled star crossed world

[thick spear]

Where’s the best place to farm starry coins (the dlc currency) for the gatcha EX? I’m out of money and nearing 100% completion

[stray relic]

Why does no ability feel so overscaled in FL compared to every other Kirby game

Like, it's stronger than everything you'll have for at least half the game

[rocky berry]

this is not the place to ask this

[sand patrol]

prolyl so bosses dont take forever

and also since its a baseline

[thorny fulcrum]

It’s kind of unfortunate that people who had already completed base FL will never be able to reexperience Star Crossed World the same way

Since it supposed can be played simultaneously with main story

[tepid burrow]

Do you have any rare stones?

[green crater]

Gacha farming be like (honestly I just wanted an excuse to share this stupid screenshot I got)

[wise flame]

Guys do not be stupid like me

Do not ever empty your wallets in anticipation for SCW

Just don't, especially if you're doing 100%

ESPECIALLY the rare stones, I will not elaborate why, but do NOT throw those away for any reason beforehand

That is all

[tepid burrow]

Oh

[twin fog]

||Wow the mode where you're required to play the main game, either beforehand or at the same time, expects you to have the resources from playing the main game for it to work well! Who could've thought||

[wise flame]

WE DIDN'T KNOW

[sudden mirage]

ngl I feel like I’m the only person who found the golden fish immediately lmao

[wooden notch]

now that the switch 2 version of forgotten land is out i’m gonna go back and try to 100% the base game. i don’t even care about start crossed world that much i’m just glad the game is finally in 60 fps

[thick spear]

No. But I just decided to do ultimate cup Z EX again and meta knight cup and it allowed me to get all figures and 100% the dlc

[sudden mirage]

@thick spear take that to #1408842700488441949 please!

[stray relic]

I have not used a rare stone the entire playthrough, will they be good for something in postgame?

[sand patrol]

i pulled the bling blipper in 5 reels

i literally went form the smalles to bling in 2 minutes lol

[wise flame]

Nothing crazy, but if you're aiming for 100% and got nothing better to do with them, it'll make the grinding phase less tedious

[thorny fulcrum]

Why

[stray relic]

Ok if I need them I'll just get them at 99% by grinding UCEX

I never use any upgraded abilities unless I'm speedrunning or styling so I've been skipping all the challenge stages lol

Not sure why exactly but the entire game feels like it's scaled around base hammer and/or no ability

[green crater]

It's definitely designed so that you can beat it that way, anyway

They like to leave the option for people and not require upgrading

[tropic dawn]

what happens if you display an ex figure in kirby's house and then uninstall the expansion

[wise flame]

You... can't?

And like... your save data's already been converted, so I'm pretty sure loading the game if you somehow undo the expansion will make the game think you're starting a new save or something-

[tropic dawn]

this is an actual question right? because you can

[wise flame]

...pardon?!

[tropic dawn]

why would you be disallowed from uninstalling something

[wise flame]

What do you mean you can- oh is it because the base Switch 1 edition of the game can be redownloaded on the eshop?

Lemme google

[tropic dawn]

the upgrade pack is its own item

[green crater]

There's also people with physical Forgotten Land, so yeah I'd assume you could uninstall it. No idea what that would do to your save tho

[tropic dawn]

like, i just uninstalled it to test the thing i was talking about

[wise flame]

I don't want to try it on mine so yeah no don't take my answers seriously ATP... But high chance something's gonna break for certain

[tropic dawn]

oh okay it just removes the scw figure, obviously

[wise flame]

Yeah I was overthinking there-

(It's probably going to mess up any SCW progress though)

[tropic dawn]

no it doesn't

[wise flame]

Ok that is interesting

[green crater]

If they were smart, they'd save the SCW and base game save data at least semi separately

[wise flame]

I... guess that patch to the base game may have done something to let this happen

[tropic dawn]

it also added an ad on the title screen lol

[wise flame]

heh?!

[toxic delta]

yes but also cart has both on it

[tropic dawn]

man it's really a shame that the performance upgrade for switch 2 is locked behind buying an expansion

if i never owned forgotten land and i have a switch 2, i'd probably want to play the game before deciding if i want the expansion. but then poor performance

[green crater]

It honestly runs fine, unless you really really really need 60fps to enjoy a game

[tropic dawn]

right, a switch 2 owner who buys forgotten land new would be like "why is the framerate half of what it should be"

btw, hammer jump glitch still works

[green crater]

Depends on the Switch 2 owner

I physically cannot see the difference unless I compare side by side

[tropic dawn]

jesus i'm so sorry

[toxic delta]

I mean, if it wasn't there would be no way to downgrade on Switch 2 :(

[green crater]

I mean, I'm the one who is happy as long as fps is stable, so I'm not sure there's anything to be sorry about lmao

[toxic delta]

*on base game, in Switch 2 Edition all superjumps are patched

[twin fog]

omg hi bobbles

[tropic dawn]

haiii :3

[acoustic robin]

haiiiii :3

[hybrid bolt]

I decided to change how I replay the game alongside SCW.

I will replay each of the base game's first world, then do the dlc each.

and compare and contrast each one.

[high widget]

What,

what happens when you install it again

[tropic dawn]

figures stay removed from shelf until you add them again, all progress retained

[high widget]

thats actually.. really cool

its like putting a GBA slot into a DS game

i can't believe i beat a kirby game before the real life kirby did

[spiral void]

oh sweet

[native reef]

Hey @tropic dawn ! I found how to get the new code!

[lean grove]

neat

[tropic dawn]

thanks, since posting about it i have got the new town present code myself

separately, there seems to be an actual bug where elfilin nags you about finding present codes in town even if you have identified all of them

[lean grove]

... oh

[vapid oasis]

Beat the mode

Well, the story at least, still need to get Starries I missed

I really need the music now, holy crap.

[wide peak]

still waiting for the whole scw ost to be uploaded

[pliant quarry]

Same

[violet gorge]

I just downloaded star crossed worlds, Im not actually gonna touch the new content cause Im waiting to do it fully with my friend on sunday but my god. Seeing it run this nicely and this sharply is so nice and unreal

[green crater]

I'm curious what your thoughts will be on how the new stuff goes with multiplayer. I hope you share?

[violet gorge]

Im pretty sure itll be like the game overall, super glad its here but you can tell multiplayer is an afterthought. Either way Im super excited because this’ll be the first time I do a multiplayer run of a kirby game where even I don’t know what to expect so its gonna be dope

[green crater]

Yeah, I just never get to play these actually multiplayer (by myself with two controllers doesn't really count) so I'm just always curious

[violet gorge]

Kirby multiplayer is such an underrated part of this series. I really wish more people got to experience it. Anyway yea Im excited to play the DLC with my friend but the only downside is we still need to do forgo dreams and the arenas. But I still want to get it all done in one visit/ sitting so we’re probably just gonna blitz through all that stuff lmao. The pure shock on his face during the base game ending was great but Im also excited for how he’s gonna react to the forgo dreams stuff

Especially since the only piece of kirby lore he’s kept super internalized is butterflies = death deity

Star-Crossed ✨ Kirby Discoveries (@kirbydiscovery)

If Elfilin is kidnapped when Kirby goes to the Fallen-Star Volcano for the first time, there’s an alternate cutscene! Elfilin isn’t there to talk to the Starries and learn what they are, so Astronomer Waddle Dee has to explain what they are instead… #Kirby

Welcome to the oceanfloor!

A crstalized ferris wheel!

[broken void]

Ooh I never got that camera angle

[green crater]

I got it on my second go through the level but not the first

Wonder if it depends on where you stand in there or something

[vapid oasis]

They really outdid themselves with the OST in this.

[hybrid bolt]

[vapid oasis]

Genuinely some of the best Kirby music I've heard, and that's really saying something.

[hybrid bolt]

Playing the dlc has me excited with the next game’s level design

[pastel lily]

ok what is this
there’s a thing where Elfilin is telling me there’s a hidden present code but I used all of them

[broken void]

@pastel lily Might be this?

[pastel lily]

ah ok

[twin fog]

Did you two actually find all of them or did you just use all of them

Cause you can enter the codes without actually finding them in-game if you just know them

[vagrant hound]

elfilin stops asking once you get the code given by the guide dee and somehow another of the same code that was used previously

it was like kirby story or smth

idk the english code name

[green crater]

That's one of them yes, the one in the theater

[lean grove]

I tried that and it said I already used it

still didn't get rid of the notif

[tardy arch]

Anyone else have trouble with the mission “don’t get bit by a big crystal turtle” in the first level of the dlc?

[broken void]

Keep moving quickly and I think you'll be okay. As long as you don't stop in place or go back and forth you should be able to avoid it

[tardy arch]

Yea, I finally got it, the turtle just kept biting me at the last possible moment to the point I had to play the level 5 times before I got the timing fully down

[broken void]

Ahhh nice - glad you got it!

[wise flame]

Hey so when I tried the hammer jump glitch, turns out it works... ... Nah!
||Unfortunately, if you can manage it, all it really does is send Kirby back to his maximum float height||

Disclaimer: I cannot tell if I actually SUCCEEDED in it or if I'm hallucinating

[night zealot]

Are there any new Hal rooms?

[broken void]

||There is but it gets discussed in the other thread since it's past world 4||

||If you go to the other thread in this forum I'll forward the guide lol||

[night zealot]

Are those heavy spoilers? Im about to start washed away at the cement summit

[broken void]

||The thread itself contains heavy spoilers though everything is tagged. I could just message you it once you get there so you don't have to go there (don't think I could forward it directly into this channel since it's from the leak thread lol)||

Actually crud I gotta tag that lol

But it's safe to click I'm just providing context to what you're asking

[sullen moat]

Welp bois, bought the DLc yesterday

Gonna play it in a few minutes!

Hope I have fun

OKAY, I'M STARTING!

[random shoal]

have fun!

[sullen moat]

I'm sure I will, cause it's Kirby!

[violet gorge]

The dlc is so peak

[sullen moat]

||I'm in Lost in Alivel mall. A map is telling me to go to the ice cream room but it's closed off! What do I do!?||

||...they hid a switch behind the fucking desk. How is anybody supposed to see that!?||

[charred fiber]

||There's a side room you can reach after activating some crystal platforms that show you where it is||

||Funny enough I ended up finding the switch by accident before finding the room my first go||

[sullen moat]

||I know, I thought the switch symbol was a starrie||

||Doesn't help they both look similar, I only realized after the fact||

||So far the DLc has been fun tho. When I first saw it my first impression was that levels we already played were gonna be altered

I was so wrong it's embarrassing, I clearly didn't pay attention. They made new completely new levels and they rock||

[random tendon]

@pliant quarry hi, as the title of this thread says, this is a NO SPOILERS channel, what you asked is from post winter horns and needs to be asked in the spoilers thread #1410236410564182097 , please go there and read our spoiler policy, please and thank you

[pliant quarry]

Oh, my bad-

Guess I didn’t read the text channel carefully

huh wdym

[timber hollow]

I tried using Android with Firefox, but I can't didn't the extension anywhere in the app

[shut pendant]

it's a chrome extension

you could try to find it on firefox too though maybe

[sullen moat]

||it's fun, but the missions themselves are annoying because the level is so long||

[random tendon]

@sullen moat remember that everything post winter horns goes in #1410236410564182097

[wise flame]

SCW really, really emphasized quality over quantity and it shows... By that I mean oh my goodness these levels kept going

-Oop

[gleaming stream]

[sullen moat]

||oh||

[signal garnet]

I mean, a lot of series basically had to make 3d games the second the technology became trendy (for one reason or another). Some of them having to be made under a pretty short deadline that made it kinda a miracle if it was a good transition to 3d

[sullen moat]

Kirby's just that based

[wide peak]

has the ost been uploaded yet

[random tendon]

check pins in #1410236410564182097 but in short not in full yet

[wide peak]

okay

[random tendon]

hi help wikirby documentation

nvm some random named yukkuri answered me

[vagrant hound]

wow I wonder who

[outer tapir]

Does anyone know if the funny hammer jump bug is patched in this

Yes

[high widget]

thats a bot

anyway yes its been patched

[pastel lily]

Blizzard Ice is basically just Star-Crossed Kirby

[outer tapir]

Tragic

Shut the frick up

Star dream soul os

[high widget]

please dont bother the bot

[outer tapir]

Why does it send the message

[green crater]

It's a "sticky" bot, making sure the message is the most recent thing in the channel. It's a warning about the spoiler policy, which is kinda important

[outer tapir]

ok

Sticky

[olive coral]

I'd like to formally apologize to sign mouth

How is it?

it's good

Fun levels

Gear mouth is good, sign mouth is good, spring mouth is good. Good new mouthfuls

[tardy mortar]

it's a good sign mouth

[sudden mirage]

kirbt 👍 👍👍

[slate slate]

Sounds like it's worth the price then

If Nintendo wanna make their games expensive, they have to be EXTREMELY GOOD

[marsh hull]

Probably my favourite first level theme in Kirby, or at least Top 3 up there with Flowery Field, Rainbow Route and Cookie Country

I admit, I really like this new guy (pics spoiler tagged just in case)

[gleaming stream]

|| he needed more screentime ||

[tribal igloo]

...

[tribal igloo]

||this level gave me some flashbacks😭||

[tardy mortar]

not a spoiler, it's just at the start of the DLC so it's fine

but I'm still gonna do this

[marsh hull]

I just noticed that this theme has the leitmotif of ||World To Win from Sectonia's fight in Kirby Triple Deluxe|| in it

I wonder if people noticed that lol, they probably did

[random tendon]

wait where? it's just running through the new world + twinkling star showers

[idle condor]

He’s such an awesome Dee

[marsh hull]

Listen closely to this part

[random tendon]

isn't that just twinkling star showers

anyway that doesn't sound like the world to win

[marsh hull]

I definitely think it does, here's the song as a refresher

[random tendon]

I know what it sounds like

that's nothing like it

[marsh hull]

I swear I can hear the resemblance especially at the end

[tardy mortar]

I think it sounds nothing like it

It's just Ando-isms at most

[marsh hull]

I'm going crazy then clearly cause I can still hear World To Win lol

[wise flame]

Ok maybe a little bit

[marsh hull]

Yeah I'm hearing these two back, no I'm definitely hearing it

You cannot convince me otherwise

[random tendon]

yeah other than sounding like ando, they are nothing alike

[wise flame]

But then again this is like, a simple little melody that could be applied elsewhere by the artist

(and the melody in question very much is a sort of backbeat of the main leitomotif)

[marsh hull]

That's true, I just think it might be because Sectonia's song I think is used elsewhere in the SCW OST

[wise flame]

I'm no music artist guy so IDK if this specific melody has been applied elsehwere before

[high widget]

do you mean the piano section

[random tendon]

an actual musician helps wikirby coverage of music stuff in kirby and this is what they wrote

[marsh hull]

Yeah I meant that part

[high widget]

i feel like the piano section is just. something they use a lot in kirby music its like

its one of those parts of music its like

[random tendon]

it's just an ando thing, it's not that deep

[high widget]

the respite or something

its not really meant to be a callback but more of a rest for the current piece as it was very tense and emotional right before

and they use it quite a bit

for a lot of tracks

[marsh hull]

That's true, I just think it works out that way for me for this track

Like I hear the melody and think, "Oh a World To Win"

[random tendon]

I feel we always have this same conversation when a kirby game is new

[vagrant hound]

As you can see, we can hear cookie country and the adventure begins—

[marsh hull]

Like it doesn't have to have the intent of a call back

I just definitely see it as a similar melody to a World To Win

[random tendon]

yeah that's a composer moment

[tardy mortar]

remember to eat countries of cookies

[high widget]

as oppose to oceans of onions

[random tendon]

(don't take this too seriously though this is just a planned wikirby april fools page I have, but)

[vagrant hound]

I love cookie the country

[wise flame]

"composer moment", you mean like, the musical equivalent of an art style?

[random tendon]

https://tenor.com/view/well-i-dont-know-pause-thought-hmm-gif-16786014

[high widget]

you mean musical style

[marsh hull]

Soooooo I can refer to that exact part of the music as a World To Win moment and not have it be wrong then?

[high widget]

it means you can call it similar but you cannot get any meaning from it

[marsh hull]

Well actually right or wrong for music in itself sounds wrong

[marsh hull]

I'm not trying to get any meaning from it, I was just noting how similar it and World To Win sounded

To me it just sounds like a leitmotif of that song

[random tendon]

I still don't hear the similarity regardless

[marsh hull]

Difference in perception of the song is all I can say at that point

Because I can definitely hear it

[random tendon]

yeah you just said there's no right or wrong so

[marsh hull]

Exactly

It's like, people note leitmotifs in Kirby songs, or just songs in general all the time

But other people literally have trouble hearing it even if its explained that the leitmotif exists in the song
