TalkBack / Re: Why You Should Mourn Mario Kart Tour
« on: July 28, 2026, 07:20:47 PM »
I lived Mario Kart Tour too. I think it has by far the best single player mode of any Mario Kart. I loved the high score aspect of it. It actually gave you a reason to play the same races over again.
I think played it basically every day for to and a half years. I was also subscribed to the gold pass for almost as long.

Maybe Gui's new mic settings can be adjusted a bit? It seems like it might be clipping or distorting slightly.

I love Oblivion, but I didn't play it to break it like Jon.
I played the remaster at launch on Xbox. I dont remember it crashing, but there was one quest with a bug that broke a quest. I had to go back and load an older save.

Its interesting to hear Gui's thoughts on Battleaxe.
I bought the game when it was new. I think it is very cool and visually looks amazing with great pixel art and animation.
My issue is that is is structured like an arcade game and is extremely shallow.
The main game has some upgrades you can buy if you manage to collect enough coins, but the item shop doesn't explain what they do.
You also only get something like two or three lives. After that its game over, you dont get any extra continues or anything.
The gameplay is fun, but its a bit more difficult than I would like.
There are only three large levels in the main game mode, but I've never been able to finish the second level.
The games other mode is kind of more fun because it is somewhat endless. You just explore a maze like area looking for upgrades and items while defeating enemies until you find the exit to the next randomised level.

This kind of episode is always great. Not just regurgitated news like some other podcasts, but some very entertaining and interesting discussion along the way.

Gui mentioned me in this episode with a quote about Dinkum having snow, but I think it was actually Rabicle who said that on the discord

hat is one of the hardest trophies in the whole game.

I dont really care about trophies/achievements. I have never gone out of my way to get one.

Finished Stray just in time for the end of August. Thats now the third time I have played through it since it originally launched on PC. I love it. The Switch version obviously doesnt look as good as the Series X version, but on Switch 2, it runs great.

Besides the cute cat, I just really like the world design of the game. Its kind of post apocalyptic, but things look cool with neon lights in the city, or creepily lit underground sections, or gross infected parts you have to run through.
It has interesting characters too with all the robots you meet. Its a good story too. Overall great adventure of making your way to the outside of the bunker.

I just learned that there is a physical version of the game through Fangamer so I deleted it from my wishlist and plan on picking that up next month.

Yes, I actually preordered it on Fangamer and then later learned that they also published it physically in Australia too. So I could have just preordered it at EB, instead of importing it.

Finished Little Kitty Big City, or at least the main objective and some side stuff. The game is extremely cute. Its fun to run around as a cat and collect things. Im glad its short though, it could easily overstay its welcome. Overall as a game though, I liked it less than Stray. I will probably go back to it later this year after that update is released that was shown in the Indie World video a few weeks ago.

Im now going to replay Stray, but the Switch version. I have already played through the game on PC and Xbox when those versions were new.

i Played more ReRunner since my last post. I finished the Runner 1 remake levels. Runner 1 doesnt get that hard until the last few levels. I turned checkpoints on for those. Back in Wii, I remember the final boss level being very hard and it took me so many attempts over several play sessions. This time I beat if fairly easily with checkpoints. I immediately turned off checkpoints and did it again without too much of an issue. I dont know if the remake made it easier somehow, or if I just got better at the game.

I played through all the bonus levels, except for the Runner 1 "retro" levels, which I dont like very much, partly because they have no music.
The other bonus levels are really good. There is one level for each track of music in Runner 2 and 3. There are also three levels each for the other Bit Trip games with music from those.

The final level in the Runner 3 bonus levels is insane. Its the most difficult level in the game, not including the onljne sharing ones. It took me many so attempts to play through it, I think it would be impossible without checkpoints. There is a clip of it here when I finally got through part of it

Next, its time to finally start Little Kitty Big City.

I finished the main part of Bit Trip ReRunner. It is great. As I said before, it is very similar to the original game.
The biggest change is the levels now have optional checkpoints, which makes the game significantly easier. I had checkpoints turned off except for the boss levels
Like the other Runner games, I find it very satisfying to play, even though it is difficult. There is just something about the pace/rhythm of the platforming that just really works for me.
Difficulty overall is a bit less than the original game, but higher than 2 and 3.

There is a video of the final level here https://bsky.app/profile/lvaneede.bsky.social/post/3lwvylhxhhk2e

It includes a remake of the original game, so I will play through that now. There are a bunch of other bonus levels too, but I might not bother playing all of them.

There is also a online mode for downloading levels people have made with the level creator, but I havent looked at that yet.

Finished Enslaved Odyssey to the West. I really enjoyed it, definitely my kind of action game. I liked the story and characters too.
The game is 15 years old and definitely dated. The platforming and combat was quite janky, but it was fun. The combat was kind of annoying to start with, but after I unlocked some more abilities, it got better and easier.


Next game to play is Bit Trip ReRunner. It launched on PC in 2023, but I didnt find out until a few days ago that it launched on Xbox last year. I have played some of it already. Its kind if half remake and half sequel to the original Bit Trip Runner game on WiiWare. Im really enjoying it so far.

I listened to the old spoilercast and then this new one. They are both great. They make a nice double episode.

Im surprised John didn't want to play it again on Switch. He liked it on Wii U. It is a big time commitment though, so I guess thats why.

I also finished Bananza. It was good overall. It has some good moments and some boring moments and some mind blowing moments towards the end.
I liked it for the main quest. I wasnt interested in hunting for bananas. Eventually I also lost interest in the challenge rooms too.
It gets surprisingly difficult near the end with the boss battles.
I finished it with 254 bananas.

Back when I used to work in a computer repair shop, I had to work on several cockroach infested computers. They ended up getting into the kitchen/staff lunch room and we had to get pest control in.
