Reached Canal City.
So far the game feels slightly more disjointed than the first.

Cleared Stage B, wiped soon after.
This is a cool game so far, but the soundtrack is annoying and too repetitive.

Didn't bother to collect all powerups. Would've just been tedium anyway.

Damn this game is hard. Reached the moon. Got lazered. Need to be less tired for something of this caliber.

Got smoked by Anthony on the Flower Cup.

Took way longer than it should have because the game kept locking up.

I don't remember them speaking clear english, however it's been years since I played the original.

Progressed to 3-5. I hate how jerky movement in this entry is. I hate how the camera sways nauseatingly when gooey is in play. I hate how many stage gimmicks slow player movement.

100cc Mushroom Cup: Silver
100cc Flower Cup: Failed
I'm not sure how drifting works in this one.

Continued once after getting bodied by the sun&moon boss.
Didn't bother to collect any of the seven rainbow drops, so I've yet to face the true final boss.

Played three rounds of Galaga. Highest score was on the third round totaling a measly 49800 points on Stage 8.

Played up to the second boss before we wiped. Not too fond of how bullshit these bosses feel.

Highscore: 327510 x01
Was interrupted at the start of stage 4 to go to the arcade.

Pac-Man, Candy-Cane Kart, Spikeballs. Pac-Man Stadium. 1st Place.

Turns out I was at the end. I wish this art style was actually attached to a "game".

Was bashing my head against Odur until I took the talent that increases the parry window. I didn't want to, but the default timings are TIGHT.

I'm genuinely wondering if there's something wrong with my controller.
Brutally difficult and awkward to control, the worst combination. For such a cool premise I'm disappointed that the game is so frustrating. I gave up at stage 5, just after suffering through the gunbike duel.
Highest score was 15487
Will probably have to watch footage of a more skilled player if I've any chance to figure out how to actually clear this bugger.

Not enjoying this so far. Was hoping for more.
Got bitchslapped by the first boss too.

Score: 0934610 x02
Sadly I lost my last two lives to the nightmare chase phase by running out of time. I had ~1.2 million points before continuing. I came so close to 1CCing kirby first try. Technically I did partially play it years and years ago as a kid though.

I actually derived some enjoyment from this due to the time-clone mechanic. Ayumi freezing for a split second whenever she lands is awful though.

Felt like clearing Star Fox again.

Died twice to Andross iirc. Fun game as always.

Finally got ironclad working. It's neat I guess.

Hair animations frequently jank out. Combat is bland. Tone is mildly amusing. Cleared the first concert.

Iced Drek sometime shortly after waking up.

Felt like playing X again. Ended up migrating to Ares since I learned that X was bugged in Simple64.
Cleared the Jack cup on Novice to re-acclimate.
