Someone who understood that the Cape is a shitty power-up and that Yoshi sucks, so they made a level that demands that you actually play it.

Welcome to 1991 as interpreted by a corporate entity, OP.

>> No.2624579

Special world was my favorite part of SMW. Partly because I only discovered it more than a decade after I got the game. I thought I had gotten shit all figured out as a kid because I had gone all the way around star road. Finding this when I came back to the game and got all the exits was a huge shock. It was the secret world behind the secret world, and that was something I never would have expected.

No, your description that a one-man band can even have "a lead singer" is bizarre. Who taught you English?

>> No.2627295

>>2627252
I am not the person who provided that description, but NIN is not a one-man band. It is a band that has had one constant member and a series of other members. If you want to throw English critiques around, explain to me how a single person constitutes a "band."

Same. Though, I did that unintentionally, I went out and didn't want to turn off the SNES, so I just turned off the TV and was confused because it sounded different.
I was also surprised that "quick"killing Navel Piranha in Yoshi's Island is also considered a secret.
