Giddy Sky 1 (From the 'Super Princess Peach' soundtrack)
o
ERM I have kind of been putting this off for like a month and a half at this point its now feb 7th but im gonna push through and finish these last ones! probably gonna be way less detailed because i dont remember anything about the games! this one especially i have literally nothing to say about!
I was desperately trying to figure out how to homebrew my DSi and while randomly clicking through folders on the software i found a little trove of games my ex had loaded onto it like 5 years ago when she did it for me. this was one of them ! I main peach in smash ultimate so i thought id open it and play for like 20 mins but i ended up just playing the entire thing... turns out its pretty easy to just keep picking up the ds and beating a couple levels every now and again. it's a pretty fun little game!
I'm not really a big Nintendo guy and i'm pretty sure that this is the only mario title i've beaten besides odyssey which is kind of funny. This game is no odyssey but it's still fun in its own way. The main gimmick surrounds being able to switch peach between 4 emotional states (i dont remember what they are but its like angry, happy, sad and excited or something) which each produce different effects. One heals her, one does aoe damage and one lets her float around the level (i think?). It's obviously pretty misogynistic to have the mario game with a female main character centered on them being emotional and that sucks. Alongside that they don't even do anything cool with the systems!! The only useful ones are the ones that lets her fly and the one that makes her heal. The sad one makes her cry and the water can be used to grow plants and stuff but it never expands beyond that. I think they had a good framework to make some engaging puzzles but this is a game for little children i suppose
I can't remember much about the levels themselves but I was surprised to find them pretty engaging. They each have 3 toads hidden on them (which you apparently need to find all of to complete the game) and I had alot of fun tracking them down in each area. Peach makes a face on the lower screen when you enter an area with a toad in which was very useful for honing in on where they actually are. I didnt even need a guide!! Very proud of myself for doing that
The bosses had really fun visual designs and were really easy so no complaints from me. I also really liked the little minigames you can do inbetween levels I started optimising the hell out of this one where u have to drag toad through a maze I was farming hella money from doing that.
The umbrella ur hanging out with is also concious and has some stupid fucking backstory that nobody cares about and never even gets resolved they literally forgot. It's like a child that got transformed into an umbrella (?) and are still an umbrella by the time the game ends. SPEAKING OF when the game ends the literal last thing in this game is a vibrator joke?? erm okay thanks nintendo
yeah it was pretty fun wtf am i supposed to say u play as peach and jump around fuck this stupid 12 days of christmas challenge
