Subspace Emissary is a narrative mess and I'm tired of pretending it's PEAK GAMING OMG.
"Are you seriously going to view the adventure mode as some sort of movie?" Yes...........

Why is Wario just turning people into trophies? At least Bowser is taking orders from Ganondorf but we never see Wario make a call with him. Alot of characters realistically have no purpose like what does Snake contribute when other characters could've filled his spot. Exposition and character backstory? What's that? Nah this is a river that randomly chooses where to go, shove in characters that just feel like they have to contribute somehow or along for the ride.

Ok this is mainly a satire thing, I don't think the story of Subspace needs to be like The Lego Movie..... but the biggest flick in the nuts that this mode offers and something that isn't a satire act is Sonic being introduced at the literal last second. Why the fuck is Sonic only unlockable and playable and contributable in the final fucking boss? I get Sonic as supposedly a rushed character to develop (which may have tarnished Sonic's moveset and his undeserved top tier status in 4 & Ultimate in many's eyes) but if you ask me, either have Sonic heavily involved in the story or not have him at all and be an optional like Jigglypuff & Wolf. You're going to have this molden cheese on a hook and toy with me like this by giving Sonic around like 10 seconds of screentime in the cutscenes?????? This is such a small nitpicky thing but it genuinely angers me that Sonic got the short end of the stick compared to other cast members like Snake, Wario, Mario, Ganondorf, etc.

I'm writing this review at 9:33 PM, give me a break I feel sleepy mimimimimimi
