Nah, that's an old in-joke.
We played a 20-questions type guessing game and Mas chose Rad Racer, which he insists was a "well know game" but none of us had the foggiest.

100% complete! In short, I loved it and I want more 3D Kirby

The final arena/very final boss and some of the target times were definitely challenging, which kept me engaged, but I found the whole game very enjoyable at the level of difficulty it was.

It was Rad Mobile a game directed by Yu Suzuki and the first game to feature Sonic the Hedgehog, and is in the film Encino Man/California Man.

Think it was understandable why I would think it was well know, yet you were nun the wiser. Hopefully you can all tell ya grandkids, where you learned facts like Sonics first appearance.

Well now I feel like a billy no mates.

Buska explaining in-jokes! I'm so happy.

I did it with a devilish grin on my face imagining you reading it. Was hoping for a more jealous reaction, but I'll take what I can get.

Yep, sorry, I'd much rather we explained in-jokes in general and I was just the butt of a joke than that we didn't explain them at all I'm afraid!

I guess I never posted it anywhere, but I saw credits on this back at the start of the game. It was a really fun and delightful game, and the final stretch was exactly the kind of over-the-top I like. I think this is the most I've ever played of a Kirby game and the 3D element was enough to keep me playing to the end, but I don't feel much desire to go back for 100% or the bonus challenges. Compared to Mario, who controls like such a dream I want to really push myself to perfecting everything, I felt myself at odds with Kirby's slow floaty movement whenever it asked me to go the extra mile.

Very happy with the purchase, though; an amazing side salad to Elden Ring's meat.

Did the level of challenge at least increase slightly in the later levels? As much as I liked playing the demo as a breezy palate cleanser of sorts following on from Elden Ring, I don't know how I'd feel about steamrolling through an entire game without at least a wee challenge.

There was a little more meat to it later on, and if you go in for beating every challenge it's legit hard.

Yeah, the post-game in Kirby games does not mess around. I remember legitimately struggling with some of the post-game stuff in Robobobobobobobobot.

Even if it isn’t as challenging as you’d want I still think you or anybody else would really enjoy Kirby & The Forgotten Land. It’s just a really nicely made and well-crafted platformer, it stands side-by-side with Super Mario 3D World if you’re looking for something with that same type of sheen and quality.

I don't think it's anywhere near as well-paced and tight as SM3DW, and honestly I don't think I was challenged much at all apart from when trying to beat two Mr. Frosties without taking damage; but it's a good fun time anyway. And I didn't do the very final championship thing, which I believe is properly difficult.
