You know, that's something too. 33 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,400 We're not just trying to half ass our way through this stuff. 34 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,960 We want to play these games. We want to analyze them. 35 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,160 We want to talk to you and talk to each other about them. 36 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:26,440 So I'm happy to be back and 2025 is going to be kicking off sort 37 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,640 of a new, I don't know if you want to call it era or something 38 00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:31,240 like that, but we are going to be going through a bunch of 39 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,560 games, the good, the bad, the ugly and everything in between. 40 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,760 As I've said before. And we're starting off with with 41 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,080 a banger. But but in the meantime, Jiggy, 42 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,440 how's sort of the second-half of 2024 been for you as we sort of 43 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,520 wind down another? I was going to say another year 44 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,160 of us doing this, but it was kind of only just half a year. 45 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,520 But how's things? How's it been going? 46 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,360 Oh, it's been absolutely busy. Things are kind of stacking up 47 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,360 exponentially. I just passed 10,000 subscribers 48 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,800 on my own YouTube, so that was a milestone for this. 49 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,760 But yeah, I've been really missing our chats on Remember 50 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,520 64. And I am not alone. 51 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,360 I have had multiple people reach out and ask more. 52 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,920 Like, you know, people listen to the podcast, they know you were 53 00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:18,960 going to be on hiatus, like you said this. 54 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,480 And yet they're still like, is it done? 55 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,800 Is it gone? Are you good? 56 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,720 Like I'm like, it's fine, he's coming back. 57 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,520 I was like, give him some time. I, I will, I will say I, I 58 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,440 definitely thought I was going to be back sooner. 59 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,320 Like my, my thought was, OK, it's going to be a few months at 60 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,560 least realistically, you know, And then if anyone who has had a 61 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,880 little kid, some at certain points in the first three to 62 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,240 five months, the, the baby will hit a sleep regression, which is 63 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,320 essentially they just do not cooperate with sleep. 64 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,440 And it just, you have to it, it varies of how they respond to 65 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,240 that. And when that happens for us, it 66 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,680 was very much, oh, we need to like really, he's not sleeping 67 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,320 for long stretches at all. So having anytime in the evening 68 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,760 was very difficult. And then I started going back to 69 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,760 work in person a lot more. And it was just like, well, all 70 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,480 my days just disappeared. I'm not playing games, I'm not 71 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,160 having a chance to sit down and talk. 72 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,880 I want to make sure that I'm I'm back, that we're back, that 73 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,959 we're going to do this show the way we always have, which has 74 00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:19,720 been awesome and why I'm thankful that people are happy 75 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,600 that they they want it to come back and we're looking forward 76 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,640 to it. And so are we. 77 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,760 So this is where we are. This is how this is what's going 78 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,160 on. Jiggy, you've been kicking ass 79 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,640 on on YouTube. So Congrats on on the big number 80 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,600 and and we'll keep one of the reasons why the game we're going 81 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,160 to talk about today is because you have at least I have this 82 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,760 recording have recently just gone through it and it was one 83 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,280 that we've been talking about for a while. 84 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,440 We are talking about. I want to get like the, the full 85 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:51,720 name, the full name because I always called this like Mickey's 86 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,520 USA or something like that. That's what they always called 87 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,560 it. So Mickey's Speedway USA from 88 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,600 2000 on the N64, a late addition to the console, which I didn't 89 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,360 realize until I started playing this again. 90 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,920 And a rare title, a rare Ltd, if you want to say title so. 91 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,320 That's right. Yeah, so, you know, we're going 92 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,120 to go through a bunch of Rare games. 93 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,040 We have already. We've done Goldeneye and I will 94 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,640 say I'm going to tease Banjo Kazooie is coming up. 95 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,480 Everyone, if we if anyone's going to be talking about Banjo 96 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,800 Kazooie, you know, someone with Jiggy in their name is going to 97 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,000 be, yeah, that's right, a part of that. 98 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,240 So it's been a long time coming for that. 99 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,240 That's definitely one that we want to spend lots of time with 100 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,120 and sort of get it right, sort of speak. 101 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,280 So 2025 is the year for Banjo Kazooie, so watch out for that. 102 00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:40,320 But OK, so let's start with this. 103 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,440 What Jiggy? What was and has been your 104 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,000 experience with this game? Do you have a little bit of a 105 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,560 history with it? Let's let's start from there. 106 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,880 Yeah, so my history with this game, I, I, I would say it 107 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,560 actually starts with the prequel that is the Game Boy Color game. 108 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,320 OK, no. Is it the one of the same title? 109 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,200 Is that like? The there is one of the same 110 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,400 title that's not a prequel that's just the same game just 111 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,680 on Game Boy Color which I have played that that too but the one 112 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,200 before it was Mickey's Racing Adventure. 113 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,880 That's the one I have. That's the one I I grew up with 114 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:17,360 too. I. 115 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,040 Have that game is actually really fun. 116 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,360 I love this this weird thing they did on on Game Boy. 117 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,400 They're just like, Oh well, we need to make a racer, let's make 118 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,320 it an RPG. Oh, we need to make we need to 119 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,920 make Mario golf. Let's make it an RPG. 120 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,160 Like they did that so often with Game Boy Color games. 121 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:42,120 But it was. Awesome RPGs with sports 122 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,280 attached to them. And I would say that I mean, 123 00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:46,360 I've probably, I think I've said it on this show before and 124 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,200 especially in the Mario Golf episode, that Mario Golf Game 125 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,280 Boy Color game is one of my favorite games of all time. 126 00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:54,080 I think it is perfect. Yes, perfect. 127 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,680 So Mickey's Racing Adventure RPG, it's great. 128 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,280 It's got a little hub world you're walking around, you've 129 00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:03,480 got, you can visit all your little friends in their houses 130 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,360 and stuff. You upgrade your vehicles. 131 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,280 Like you can check your mail. Yeah, you can check your mail. 132 00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:11,920 Pluto's around there somewhere. You can dig holes and stuff. 133 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:17,160 It's so random I I so I, I after playing a decent amount of the 134 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,760 game we're talking about here for N64. 135 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,080 I I still have the cartridge. I'm not sure if you do and I I 136 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,400 do put it in my my GBA works my game what color doesn't anymore. 137 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,560 So I played in my GBA which is just behind me. 138 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,520 If anyone can see the video version and yeah, there it is. 139 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,000 Yeah. Also see through cart like 140 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,040 that's Yeah, that's cool. That's great. 141 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,560 Got all this gameboy color carts? 142 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,040 Love it, love it. And and then I was reminded I, I 143 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,880 don't know what it's been so long since I played it and I 144 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,080 don't know if you have any experience with old like NES 145 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,000 racers at all, but the first thing with the perspective, 146 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,440 because it's sort of like a top down. 147 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,600 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like pro AM. 148 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,360 Pro AM and, and Micro Machines I used to play the shit out of 149 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,080 Micro Machines at a friend's place on the NES 'cause he had 150 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,960 it and it was super fun. And on the NES that was like 151 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,840 crazy cool, you know, idea for a racer, which I still think is 152 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:08,960 very cool that I think they should. 153 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,280 I mean, the Hot Wheels games, the recent Hot Wheels games are 154 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,520 kind of similar to that. But that's what it reminded me 155 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,080 of just with, you know, the Disney and the Mickey flavor on 156 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,000 it. Oh yeah, I mean, Rare basically 157 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:25,000 took the Pro Am formula and just skinned it with Mickey and then 158 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,760 made it sorted into this. It's it's a hodgepodge of a few 159 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,800 different things on on Game Boy at least, which is pretty cool. 160 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,360 I I, yeah, I really enjoyed that one. 161 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,080 I played that one quite a bit growing up there. 162 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,520 We go. I I really enjoyed that one 163 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,360 quite a bit. And then and then they, you 164 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,960 know, they had to follow it up and fun fact about that game, 165 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,120 which I learned when I was making my video, but I just 166 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,080 think it's amazing. David Weiss did the soundtrack 167 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,280 for Mickey's Racing Adventure on game. 10 I didn't know that. 168 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,120 Yeah, super cool. That's great. 169 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,640 He did not do the soundtrack on Mickey Speedway USA, which I'd 170 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,240 have to look up. I'm totally doing it right now. 171 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,360 Did it? Yeah. 172 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,720 Yeah, so I have the same experience I played that one. 173 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,480 I, I think, I think personally, I think I may have dabbled a 174 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,320 little bit in Speedway USA on the 64. 175 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,880 I just a little bit, cuz I, I booted it up. 176 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:26,880 I, I, you know, turned on my 64 for the first six months and, 177 00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:31,560 and played it and I was like, Oh yeah, this, this, you know, 178 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,520 theme song or like the setting, like in the bedroom sort of like 179 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,280 thing in the menu and stuff. This kind of feels familiar. 180 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,320 I played one of the tracks. I was like, OK, this kind of 181 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,320 feels familiar and, and I, I think I played this a little 182 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,720 bit. I, it may have been a rental or 183 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,240 at a friend's place, but I didn't have a ton of experience 184 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,240 with it. So I'm kind of coming in, I 185 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,160 would say mostly new to this. OK, yeah, I did. 186 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,200 I did play this one growing up. I had it. 187 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,040 I do not know when I acquired it, but I had it and I remember 188 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,120 having it and I had to reacquire it for my collection. 189 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,960 But it's one I played to a certain point. 190 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,840 I believe I got all the like, gold trophies in the like base 191 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:18,440 races and then I could not, I could not get farther than the 192 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,760 4th Grand Prix that opens up after you do that 'cause it's 193 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,760 pretty hard. And, you know, I was a little 194 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,240 kid. Like it gets, it starts off 195 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,360 relatively easy, ramps up pretty quick, and then it just gets to 196 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,200 a point where you have to know what you're doing or you're 197 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,600 going to fail. And it's really cool. 198 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,200 Ben Cullen, by the way, did the soundtrack for this game and it 199 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,800 is phenomenal. I'm sure we will talk about it 200 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,680 as we go, but it is, yeah. It's catchy. 201 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,320 Yeah. We'll we'll play some audio in a 202 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,720 little bit purposely instead of me playing it by accident like I 203 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,200 just did a minute ago. So guys, it's been a while. 204 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,360 It's been a while. What can I say? 205 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,000 Yeah, No, this is this is actually a really great game to 206 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,040 kind of like come back as like the first sort of return 207 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,920 episode. I think because Kart races are 208 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,480 classic, you know, on Nintendo consoles especially, you know, 209 00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:11,320 we both love Diddy Kong Racing. That is our it's my favorite 210 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,080 Kart racer. I really don't think that 211 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,680 anything can can beat it. I haven't played a lot of really 212 00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:21,040 recent ones but as far as the era of the 90s to mid 2000s that 213 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,560 it's it's the one. Yep I I have played a lot of 214 00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:28,600 Kart racers and Diddy Kong racing played more than still 215 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,560 the best. Don't don't even bother with 216 00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:34,840 Garfield Kart unless you want a really buggy funny time with 217 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,120 friends. I, I, I think I, I actually, 218 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,200 I'll put a little small caveat on on it being the best is that 219 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,680 I think it's like no competition that it's the best single 220 00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:48,160 player, which I know we've discussed. 221 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,080 Yeah, 100. Percent of your. 222 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,760 Videos. No question that it is 223 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,080 multiplayer. The argument could be that maybe 224 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,480 like double dash, which I know is is later, but double dash is 225 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,160 a fantastic game like Mario Kart Double dash, I think is is 226 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,080 amazing has a lot of ideas that I think they should go back to 227 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,720 but anyways, just there's an argument there. 228 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,120 I think the reason why that's fair. 229 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,960 I say that yeah. The reason why I say that this 230 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,600 is a good one is because hurt races you don't have to take too 231 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:10,960 seriously. You know, you can jump in play 232 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,960 some races, jump back. We can take a couple weeks to 233 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,560 kind of you know, get our feet wet back, at least for me, might 234 00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:18,120 get my feet wet and and playing 64 again and stuff. 235 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,840 I did play some while I was with my son and stuff in the, in the 236 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,520 last six months. I played all the way through 237 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,400 Banjo Kazooie on my Steam Deck because that's the only thing I 238 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,960 was able to play in the last six months is sort of on the go. 239 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,400 I played it from start to finish and got like 95% of the 240 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,680 collectibles in it and stuff like I went ham on it. 241 00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:41,360 It was great. Which if you listen to the 242 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,680 previous episode on your your feed, I have a little story 243 00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:45,280 about that of, of what that was like. 244 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:50,160 So go back one mini episode from this and you can listen to that 245 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:55,400 if you haven't already. Yeah, this is a it's a fun game, 246 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,880 but I was surprised at how much that difficulty ramps up. 247 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,440 That was one of the things that I jotted down in my in my head 248 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,320 have been like, I was very surprised at how difficult this 249 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,800 gets so quickly on the beginner difficulty on what would 250 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,920 essentially be, I would assume they want to be a kids game. 251 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,520 I think it's, it's pretty easy. You're kind of in first, maybe 252 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,280 second if you make a mistake or something, but you're you're in 253 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,200 the lead the whole time. The rubber banding is not too 254 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,920 bad. I don't think that it's there, 255 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,320 but it's not crazy. You can get you can safely get 256 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,400 yourself to A to, to 1st place through each of the sets of 257 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,400 races. I think grand prixs or whatever 258 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,680 the the name is for him in this. But then when you jump up to the 259 00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:41,480 middle difficulty, I think you already need to know what the 260 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,720 hell you're doing, 'cause it is not easy. 261 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,320 Oh, absolutely. And that's what I started with, 262 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,480 'cause I was like, eh, what's a, you know, what would the 263 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,480 equivalent of like a 50CC and Mario Kart? 264 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,680 I'm like, eh, those are always just, I've, I've played a cart 265 00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:55,560 racer. I got this. 266 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,440 Holy shit, I got my ass kicked right away. 267 00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,880 Yeah. Listen, it's like it it, it was 268 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,320 one of the things when I put my video out that people kept 269 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,600 talking about. It's like the the beginner level 270 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,080 the AI is stupid and like running into walls like very. 271 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,600 Simple like we're. Talking like if I had to scale 272 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,400 the AI skill level, it would be like a one on the beginner level 273 00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:20,400 and then you go to intermediate and it bumps up to like 7 and 274 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,880 that's a huge jump and then but then you get to professional and 275 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,640 then it's 10 like you have to like basically be perfect. 276 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,520 It's. It's like 12 man. 277 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,480 Like it's it's. Well, I would save 12 for the 278 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,520 the last Grand Prix because. Oh yeah, that. 279 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,200 That oh oh oh France the 4th. One or the Because there's 5, 280 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,520 isn't there? The frantic finale? 281 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,760 Yeah, that's the fifth one, I think 1/2. 3-4 yeah. 282 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:50,840 Oh yeah. Fifth one, yeah. 283 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,280 So I got I. Got to the 4th 1. 284 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,840 I did not get to the fifth one. Yeah. 285 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,920 So the fifth one, when you get to those courses there, there 286 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:02,160 are a lot of like quick turns, like it's not Hawaii. 287 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,600 I'm trying to think of which one it is. 288 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,280 Maybe it's. Yeah, there's. 289 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,080 One, I think it's Oregon video of it, it's it's, I think it's 290 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,840 a, it's a, it's a California location. 291 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,800 I can't remember something. You have to you have to like 292 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,360 drive in the you're like driving through a cave and stuff and 293 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,480 then all of a sudden you hop into a bridge and you're just 294 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,080 quick turns left, right, left, right. 295 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:23,200 I mean that is like impossible. It is so difficult and this, 296 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:29,760 this game, so fun fact, it was built, it was built off the 297 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:34,080 Diddy Kong Racing engine, obviously, but it was built off 298 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,400 the modified Diddy Kong Racing engine that was used for Jet 299 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,440 Force Gemini. So there's this this weird trail 300 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,680 of like Diddy Kong Racing, Jet Force Gemini, Mickey Speedway 301 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,440 USA. And I guess you, if you dig into 302 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,960 the files of Mickey Speedway, you can probably find some Jet 303 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,400 Force Gemini elements in there, which is kind of cool. 304 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,840 Yeah. But yeah, it's it definitely has 305 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,240 a lot of similarities to Diddy Kong Racing as far as like 306 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:06,000 gameplay mechanics go. But yeah, there's ideas. 307 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,640 There that are similar, there's not I one of the other things I 308 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,880 noticed. Also, I'm trying to find the the 309 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,200 map. Oh, is it Malibu? 310 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,760 Is it that one that sounds? Right. 311 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:15,600 Yeah. There's you're sort of like on 312 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,480 the beach. Looks like there might be a cave 313 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,000 or two or something. Yeah, I. 314 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,640 Know there's Hawaii and it's not Hawaii it's like the one right 315 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,720 after that there's. Yellowstone, Washington, 316 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,800 Everglades and Malibu. Oh, no, that's not it. 317 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,680 No, no, that's actually the fourth one I played. 318 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:31,440 Malibu. Never mind. 319 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:32,560 Yeah. Oh, Hawaii. 320 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:33,680 I think you're. I think it's Hawaii. 321 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:34,680 It's on the beach. It's. 322 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,880 Right after Hawaii. It's the one after Hawaii. 323 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,160 Oregon it is. Oregon. 324 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,600 OK, I thought it was Oregon. I wasn't sure though. 325 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:42,920 Yeah. Oregon. 326 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,440 So you're like, you can, you're on like sort of like a, yeah. 327 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,840 Oregon sucks walkway. Sorry for listening to this. 328 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:53,600 In Oregon, yeah, I think I, I'm, I really hope I'm pronouncing it 329 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:58,560 right because I said, I said Oregon and someone like 330 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,880 corrected me and they're like, it's Oregon and I was like I'm 331 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,240 from the Midwest Canadian I've probably. 332 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,640 Saved things a little bit differently so I don't. 333 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,319 Know it's like I, well, we're, you know, we're not that far 334 00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:10,640 apart where, where I'm from, it's fine. 335 00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:12,520 It's fine. It's fine. 336 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,560 Yeah, sorry. The the maps though that like 337 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,200 that, the races themselves now that we're sort of disputed to 338 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,240 me when I looked at the thing there and and the similarities 339 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,240 to Diddy Kong Racing and stuff is that I think these ones, you 340 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,160 know, the racers might feel kind of the same. 341 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,760 I don't know, I should start. Let's start with that. 342 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,000 Let's start with the characters. Let's start there because I 343 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,280 think the roster is pretty small to start with and I thought was 344 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,160 a little bit disappointed with that, but I guess there's some 345 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,480 unlockables you can get. Yeah, Louis and stuff. 346 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,640 And it, it's just there's not a lot of variety in the type of 347 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,320 like statistics, I guess you want to call it like the the 348 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,560 abilities that that each racer has, Like, I don't know. 349 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:00,640 Did you notice a huge difference? 350 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,360 Did you flip between racers? It's, it doesn't feel as strong 351 00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:08,120 as it does with Diddy Kong Racing, but it feels similar to 352 00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:10,680 the differences in like Mario Kart 64, I think. 353 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,160 Whereas you have you have Pete and Goofy, which are heavy, and 354 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,840 then you have like Daisy and Minnie, which do the 355 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,720 acceleration quickly and handling. 356 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,640 And then Mickey and Donald are just kind of all arounders, the 357 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:30,000 Mario and Luigi's, if you will. But I I did notice that at least 358 00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:33,480 starting out and doing all the normal Grand prixs, I felt like 359 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,320 Pete and Goofy had the advantage just because I used. 360 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,320 I used Goofy because I just like the character. 361 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,280 I was like, oh, I'm just going to use Goofy and I I felt like 362 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,840 it was because they got the top speed right. 363 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,520 That's their yeah. Exactly, they have. 364 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,560 Top speed, which is the, you know, the Bowser, the Donkey 365 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,160 Kong, the is it Donkey Kong Junior that they call him in the 366 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,920 first Mario Kart? Is that what they name him? 367 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,560 I can't remember exactly, but those guys, those. 368 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,880 Yeah. I think I think heavy characters 369 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,120 with a high top speed have an advantage, especially in the 370 00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:09,440 first 3 Grand Prix because a lot of these stages are very open. 371 00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:12,560 Yes, they're. Like I'm, I'm looking at the 372 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,040 footage you're playing right now and like this is Chicago, we're 373 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,400 going underwater under the sewers, which is a it's a really 374 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,040 cool vibe. It's a really cool level. 375 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,800 This is actually one of my favorite levels. 376 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:21,840 I. Agree. 377 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,360 I like this a lot. Yeah, and there's. 378 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,160 It's really cool because there's secret paths, but we can talk 379 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,800 about that a little bit later. But it just, it doesn't have a 380 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,360 lot of hazards. It's very wide and open, and 381 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,560 when you're hitting boosts and stuff, as long as you can hit 382 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,320 those boosts and like navigate your turns, you know where to 383 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,320 turn. Having a higher top speed gives 384 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,800 you a huge edge over other characters. 385 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,520 Yeah, yeah, I agree. And like you said, especially 386 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,920 when it's the more open, I mean, the, the further along you go 387 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,480 with the races, the more sort of turns there are and whatever, 388 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:54,960 like it does get more complicated. 389 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,680 But I don't know that I felt like I was at a huge 390 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,720 disadvantage. I think I ended up going with 391 00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:04,120 with Daisy a little bit eventually just 'cause I was 392 00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:05,560 like, I'm just gonna pick someone else and. 393 00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:09,120 Usually in Diddy Kong Racing, I pick the ones like I, I, I think 394 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,080 who's got the acceleration in that? 395 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,600 I think Pipsy, yeah, Pepsi and Pipsy maybe. 396 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,360 Tip top, yeah. Tip top, because he's usually my 397 00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:20,640 go to, so I was like, OK, that's what I'm used to. 398 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,040 So I went with that and it, it felt fine. 399 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,000 I, I feel like I, I did OK either way. 400 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,840 When I got to those higher difficulties, I think it was 401 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,800 more my skill than it was my, or lack of thereof than it was the 402 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,360 actual racer that was the problem. 403 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,880 So yeah. Well, that's the thing, you can 404 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,800 get to a point in these races, especially if you get as you get 405 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,280 to the higher difficulties like professional, you can get to the 406 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,600 point where you're just flying through the track, which is 407 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,360 actually amazing. I made a comparison in my video 408 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:53,680 about I like this game as a cart racer in the same way I like 409 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,000 Smash Bros Melee as a fighter because there's there is a skill 410 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,440 sealing. There's a certain point where 411 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,880 you have to just understand the mechanics and like frame perfect 412 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,320 things. When you hit things perfectly, 413 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,920 when you're hitting all these boosts, you're navigating all 414 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:12,960 these turns as fast as possible. You are flying fast like yeah, 415 00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:14,800 and you got all. Coins to make you faster. 416 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,560 It just gets really, really fast, which makes me feel like 417 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,600 this game would have such a huge competitive draw. 418 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,280 Oh, interesting, but it's. Very unfortunate that it is so 419 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:35,080 overlooked and I, I get, I mean no people that knew about this. 420 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,880 If you don't believe me, go look at the comments in my last 421 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,640 video. But people don't realize that 422 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,000 this was made by Rare. That's the first thing. 423 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,480 No, I, I. Before we started talking about 424 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,360 it something last year, I had no idea. 425 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,800 Yeah, I knew of the game and I and you know, because the Game 426 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,160 Boy won really, for the most part. 427 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,160 Yeah, I had no idea. I I never paid attention to that 428 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,680 as a as a kid. So like, it never was never on 429 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,920 my radar until I got older. So, yeah, yeah. 430 00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:03,320 People just they don't know what's made by Rare I guess. 431 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,040 Rare for whatever reason didn't promote this game. 432 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,840 Really. Like not even on their website. 433 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,560 I'm not sure what that's about. Some license I would. 434 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,720 Say, I would say this is similar to I mean, it's different 435 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,400 because it says Mario, but like Mario Paint is all or Mario 436 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:24,080 Paint. Yeah, Paper Mario is also a game 437 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,280 from 2000, I'm pretty sure, right. 438 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:27,560 So we played that about a year ago. 439 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,680 That's check out that episode. Incredible game, just amazing 440 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,600 game. Aside from the toy box that's 441 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,560 otherwise, it's an amazing game, which I think we were all on the 442 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:38,760 same page for about. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 443 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:45,240 But I think in 2000, like the 64 was, it was not, it was going 444 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,400 out. It was. 445 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,360 On its way out, right? So if you don't have Mario's 446 00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:58,000 face on the front or someone in Mario's Party, Mario Party, you 447 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,200 know, it's unfortunate because it's not like this is a nothing 448 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,200 game. It's not like it's right, just 449 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:08,520 some throwaway, sort of. It's licensed and sometimes 450 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,360 licensed games are just trash. But this is not one of those 451 00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:13,200 games. It's just, I don't, yeah, I 452 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,160 don't know. I think I, I'm just attributing 453 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,440 that to the year. Yeah. 454 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,040 And I don't. Know if that's true? 455 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,120 I mean. It's a fairpoint. 456 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,360 I I thought about that too. Like the PS2 is releasing that 457 00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:25,160 year. The Dreamcast was already out 458 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,200 the GameCube and actually I'm not sure did the Xbox release in 459 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,360 2002 The GameCube was at 2001, 2000. 460 00:23:32,360 --> 00:23:35,960 One Xbox was 2001, GameCube was I think probably still being 461 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,240 called Project Dolphin at the time would be my guess. 462 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,000 But it was like around the corner, like it was they were. 463 00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:44,080 You were talking about it, Yeah. Like so the hype for next Gen. 464 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:50,080 consoles was real and I know this you know this is no 3D 465 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,840 platformer either coming from here, which I always wondered if 466 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,080 if they made a Mickey 3D platformer at this time, it 467 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,560 would have been the best Mickey platformer ever because it would 468 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,760 have been off the heels of Banjo 2 E it would have been rare 469 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,960 Mickey Mouse. It would have been awesome. 470 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,560 I don't know why they went in the cart racer direction. 471 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,040 I'm not mad about it. I like that this game exists. 472 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,560 I actually think it's a pretty pretty cool cart racer. 473 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,120 They they did release one on PS1 as well. 474 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,040 I not not made by rare. I don't know who made it. 475 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,640 It's. Oh. 476 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,040 Goodness gracious, I can't think of what it's called, but it's 477 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,800 got Chip and Dale on the cover I believe. 478 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,920 Mickey Speedway PS Is it called Mickey Speedway? 479 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,400 No, it's. Not Mickey Speedway. 480 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,760 It's it's like Disney Magical Racing Adventure or something. 481 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,560 Some more generic sounding thing than that. 482 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,440 Yeah. Walt Disney. 483 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,720 'S world quest magical racing tour that's a really it rolls 484 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,760 off the tongue really it just fantastic title you know 485 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,400 dynamics made it that's. Yeah, yeah, that's right. 486 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,320 Wow, nice. And you know. 487 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,240 Looking at looking at the title like just just to, to, to pull 488 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,920 back a little bit here. I always call it Mickey 489 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,760 Speedway. I, I never call it unless I have 490 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,720 to specifically specify to someone Mickey's Speedway USA 491 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:20,080 and it's it the USA part of it. That's the part I don't like it. 492 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,200 It the the only reason why I would like, I would have liked 493 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,600 it if it was Mickey Speedway USA and then they followed it up and 494 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:33,160 they did like Mickey Speedway. Asia. 495 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,040 Asia or yeah, like some like they did Australia like they did 496 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,360 some like different stuff like that. 497 00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:40,200 Would be super cool if they started doing different 498 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,560 countries this. Just occurred to me. 499 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,920 So first of all, the reason why that is, if anyone doesn't know, 500 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,280 is because every track is based off of a quote UN quote real 501 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,240 location. So you, you mentioned Chicago 502 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,760 before we talked about Oregon and Malibu. 503 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,120 There's there's New York, there's there's whatever, 504 00:25:56,120 --> 00:25:58,400 there's like two dozen tracks or something, which is not a small 505 00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,640 amount. So there's a decent amount as 506 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:04,240 you unlock more. It just occurred to me maybe if 507 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,960 this game came out earlier or if they made like a an actual 508 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,920 sequel, they were going for the Cruisin world, Cruisin USA 509 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,440 thing, Mickey Speedway USA, Mickey Speedway World. 510 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,160 Like I wonder if that's what they were thinking of as why 511 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,280 they did that because those games are largely the same. 512 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,720 I would say, in my opinion at least, they feel largely that 513 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,440 they're arcade games just ported to consoles, right? 514 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,360 You're just in different locations with different 515 00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:33,280 vehicles. That's mostly the difference. 516 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,680 This could could have been the same if they made another one. 517 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,520 I wouldn't be surprised if they just called it world or 518 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,840 International or like you said, name a continent. 519 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,640 Yeah, you know, Mickey Speedway, South America or something would 520 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,120 be kind of cool. You'd go through all these areas 521 00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:50,680 in Brazil and Peru and like, that'd be that'd be awesome. 522 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,320 Which is what you do in in cruising world as you go through 523 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,160 those types of places. But this would have like the 524 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,800 Disney spin on it, so yeah, maybe. 525 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,800 And that's one thing that's also kind of weird. 526 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,720 The Disney spin like really isn't there for a lot of tracks. 527 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,680 No, it's really just like a cartoon look on what they say is 528 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,000 a real thought. Like, yeah. 529 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,480 They they go for almost realism when it I mean as far as realism 530 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,640 goes on an N64 in the year 2000 with a. 531 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,960 Cart racer with a cart. Racer driving around, yeah. 532 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,760 But for the most part, nothing about these tracks is Disney. 533 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,720 Nothing about these tracks is rare really. 534 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,240 I mean, they're they don't look bad by any means. 535 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,400 Like don't get me wrong, I'm not like saying they're bad looking. 536 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,000 They just they don't have a lot of finesse to them. 537 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,920 They don't have a lot of style. And there there is exceptions 538 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,080 though. Like New York, NY has a Statue 539 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,400 of Liberty, Mickey, and a bunch of like if you look in the 540 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,480 background you'll see a bunch of statues of different Disney 541 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,720 characters. I actually just noticed that the 542 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,400 Indianapolis track has a blimp in the background that has the 543 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,440 Disney logo on it, which is kind of cool, but there's not a whole 544 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,800 lot of that. No, I think there would be more 545 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,960 even then. I think I noticed the Statue of 546 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,520 Liberty one because I don't know, I feel like that one's. 547 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,480 Pretty obvious, pretty. Obvious, yeah. 548 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,040 And I think I've probably seen that in other cartoons and 549 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,320 stuff. So like, it's almost like 550 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,440 something that I've recognized before or seen before. 551 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,200 But yeah, there's not, there's not a lot. 552 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,160 Like, where's the other one? Oh, the Philadelphia one, which 553 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,920 is like you're sort of on like the docks and stuff and. 554 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,480 Yeah. There's opportunities like you, 555 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,720 why don't you just like put a character sort of by, you know, 556 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,520 every once in a while that pops up and does something silly or 557 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,560 does not interfere in the in the race. 558 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,680 But like have you can have ideas here Chip and. 559 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,960 Dale fishing or something in the background. 560 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:51,160 Yeah, like it's really just the the core characters that are the 561 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,040 racers. And then I don't know which if 562 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,800 it's Huey or Louie or Dewey or whatever that's doing the the 563 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,880 countdown for the beginning of the race that's. 564 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,600 It think it's Louie, that's all. Yeah, I don't remember the 565 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,200 colors, the green. I don't remember. 566 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,920 I get them mixed up every single time. 567 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,080 Yeah, I. Used to know. 568 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,480 I used to know, I think. I think Dewey's blue. 569 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,240 No, wait, no, I think Dewey's red. 570 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,080 I think. Should we look at up? 571 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,080 Or should we just keep guessing? I think. 572 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,000 We should just give someone give give stuff for people to talk 573 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,680 about. What do you think on the 574 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,240 podcast? Which one is? 575 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,080 Is Huey, don't look it up Huey Blue. 576 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,920 Louis is green and Dewey is red. That's my guess. 577 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,120 OK, I think. We agree on Louis being green. 578 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,480 Yeah, for some reason that sounds right. 579 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:50,080 Yeah, Everything I look up is like the old comic where they 580 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,800 don't have any colours. The mystery continues. 581 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,680 Yeah, the mystery continues. As far as this picture shows, 582 00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:04,600 Huey is red, Dewey is green and Louis is blue. 583 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,120 I do not remember what I said, no. 584 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,800 I think we said Louis was green, but anyways, not critical. 585 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,680 But also basically the point is they they could have maybe 586 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,360 Disneyed this up a little bit more and maybe, you know, these 587 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,720 are licensed properties, maybe they weren't able to. 588 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,760 There could be some sort of, you know, small reasons why that 589 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,400 kind of stuff happened. Who knows, right? 590 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:33,320 But but I think that largely it's just it just feels like a 591 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,920 eraser. And it's not yeah. 592 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,960 That it didn't necessarily have to be Disney, but I there's 593 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,760 some, there's still Disney personality in it when it comes 594 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,720 to, I would say like the sound effects and some of the voices 595 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,320 and things like that that pop up. 596 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,880 So that I think is where it is. How do you? 597 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,880 Feel about the voices. The so they're OK. 598 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,440 The the racers voices are fine they but I think they talk a 599 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,680 little too much sometimes. You can turn it off in their 600 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,600 settings you can. Turn it off because there's 601 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:08,160 stuff happening behind you that is like going off like, you 602 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,720 know, mini or whoever is like saying, Oh my God, I got hit or 603 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,760 whatever her her quote is and it's like I don't I don't care 604 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,000 you're 5 spots behind me. Why, you know, why is that 605 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:17,920 playing? I'm going to see if this 606 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,160 actually I'm going to pull up I if. 607 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:25,720 I had to listen here. I I. 608 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,480 Loved it. I I like people complained about 609 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,960 it all the time but I've found it hilarious. 610 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:37,560 Lori. Lori, OH. 611 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,800 Gee, like. And then again, they are the 612 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,280 actual actors too. Yes, which is, which is great. 613 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,680 Look at no matter what it sounds like. 614 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:49,720 That's great. That's awesome. 615 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,480 I think I think I get hit here too. 616 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,640 Gee, so it's it's it's good. I think it's pretty well done. 617 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,160 And then, like we've said with other games, like the sounds can 618 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,560 be hit and miss on the 64, but like largely it's usually pretty 619 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,120 good. And I think the music goes a 620 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,240 long way with something like this, like the personality of 621 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,320 cartoons and like this kind of cartoon music matters. 622 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,720 And it's pretty good in this. I liked it, yeah. 623 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,440 Yeah, the music, the music is one of the highlights for me. 624 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,880 Yeah, He he did a great job. It just like especially that 625 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,320 title track. But even even the little things 626 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,200 is like the menu, like the menu is pretty, Yeah. 627 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:34,480 Let's go back to Sticks in your brain. 628 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,320 Oh, we have to talk about the menu because there's other parts 629 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:38,680 of the menu that are just awesome. 630 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,040 Yeah, the. Menu's pretty cool. 631 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,560 These are the kind of menus I love if. 632 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:56,800 Anyone's not watching it? What this is is a sort of pan 633 00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:01,400 back and forth of like a bedroom that has a Nintendo 64 plugged 634 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,000 in with a yellow controller. I will say it's a yellow 635 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,520 controller plugged into an old school sort of TV that looks 636 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,920 like it's from like the 50s or something, very like Disney 637 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,080 Mickey style kind of thing. And it just sort of like pans 638 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,600 around, you know, the room and you have like pictures of the 639 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,400 Disney characters and whatever. And you can just honestly, you 640 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,160 can sit here forever and just watch it and listen to this 641 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,080 music. Yep. 642 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,840 And as you like navigate the menu, you you have to press a, 643 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,480 you have to select your character before you can 644 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,040 actually get to the other parts of the room. 645 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,560 That lets you select things in the menu. 646 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:33,640 Yeah, which? Is a little weird. 647 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:34,840 I thought that it's a. Little weird. 648 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,240 I wish you could just like pan left and right with the 649 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,920 joystick. Well, I I don't understand why 650 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:40,920 you can't. Why you're not picking your 651 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:45,080 character like after you pick your your race that that's what 652 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,960 was weird to me. It feels a little. 653 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,240 Backwards the back. Like it should be, it should be 654 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,200 that should be after you pick your race. 655 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,960 But I don't know, maybe that's, although I guess the other cart 656 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,760 racers don't do that. Just feels weird because of the 657 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,200 way the menu is set up. Because you you start with this 658 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,640 shot of the room like we just said, and then you'd like exit 659 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,880 that and you see characters on the road and then you go back to 660 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,960 the room. So it kind of feels disjointed 661 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,320 in that way. Yeah yeah, Cuz then after you 662 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,679 pick your racer, you go back to a bed, the bedroom and another 663 00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:20,159 part and all the races and stuff are on like toy blocks like 664 00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:23,040 wooden kids toy blocks that are that are stacked top of each 665 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,440 other. I love that. 666 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:25,840 I thought that was a nice little touch. 667 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,520 I thought that was cool. Yeah, it. 668 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,199 Is cool. And then whenever you select a 669 00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:33,120 race, you go to like a pegboard, like a bulletin board kind of 670 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,360 thing with the different tracks laid out. 671 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,040 And then if you go to like multiplayer, you go to like 672 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:44,679 there's a little. I'm trying to think if that's 673 00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:46,239 practice mode or if that's multiplayer. 674 00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:50,880 I think it's multiplayer takes you to the little race car track 675 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,880 with the little toy cars. Yeah, yeah, I think. 676 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,000 So yeah, I think that was multiplayer. 677 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,600 Yeah, Yeah, I just selected. I never actually played it, so 678 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,640 yeah. And then there's a computer for 679 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,360 like the options and stuff and cheat codes, which you do. 680 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,840 You actually unlock cheat codes as you go, which is pretty cool. 681 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,520 Games do that. I like when games do that. 682 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:09,560 Yeah, it makes. Sense they don't have to. 683 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,520 Hide it behind a manual or whatever, yeah. 684 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,000 And you and you don't have to enter a specific code. 685 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,960 It, it feels like a, it feels like you unlocked it rather than 686 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,640 you're choosing the game. You know which I like that, 687 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:22,880 right? Right. 688 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,000 It's a reason it's another way of having unlockables when that 689 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,200 wasn't always a thing at that time, you know, like it was 690 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,200 about entering a cheat code that was. 691 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,200 That's usually how that stuff works, yeah. 692 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,520 And that's a big difference. Yeah, a lot of the cheat codes 693 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,000 are like cosmetic stuff too, to like items like changing, 694 00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:43,080 changing the way things look, which is pretty cool. 695 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,960 And and the game has some some cool like here's a Mount 696 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,560 Rushmore of Disney heads. That was pretty that was pretty 697 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:51,760 neat. I don't think I noticed that 698 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,920 before, but you're not worried. About the track, you just look 699 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:56,720 at the stuff around. Yeah, you're. 700 00:35:56,720 --> 00:35:58,640 Just looking at the background like it's great, yeah. 701 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,760 Yeah, so it's and, and, and I would say like the style of it 702 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:07,000 too, like the the characters, like you said, it's it's based 703 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,120 on a version of the Diddy Kong racing engine. 704 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,880 I think that the other racers when they're not right beside 705 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:20,920 you, it kind of looks like the sort of flat pre rendered stuff 706 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:25,000 that is in in Mario Kart 64 a little bit more than it is in 707 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,120 Diddy Kong. So I don't know if that's a 708 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,680 difference. And like, to me anyway, that's 709 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,280 what it looked like. Like they almost have like that 710 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,840 that, you know, that paper look where you spin around them. 711 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,600 Not your character. Your character looks fully 3D. 712 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:36,960 Yeah, like, but I think when they're. 713 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,000 Locally memory and. Rendering type of thing where 714 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,920 they just have to sort of make a choice yeah of how that looks, 715 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,200 but I I think it changes when you get really close when you're 716 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,120 far away they kind of look a little bit more flat. 717 00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:49,240 It doesn't bother me. I just noticed that as like a 718 00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:53,040 little graphical like flourish or yeah, probably rare. 719 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,360 I guess rare put a lot of. Details into the characters. 720 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,360 If you if you play, yeah, they do like it. 721 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,160 You're just playing as Daisy and Daisy you can see the individual 722 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,280 feathers on the back of her head, which is pretty cool. 723 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,720 If you play as Goofy, his ears flop in the in the air, which is 724 00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:11,600 super cool. One of the first things I 725 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,000 noticed. I was like, wow, that's a great 726 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:18,040 little detail I. Learned after the fact that this 727 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:22,960 followed Disney's like strict rules about Mickey and Minnie 728 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,640 Mouse. Their ears are always supposed 729 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,040 to be like recognizable as a silhouette, and so they're 730 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:30,800 always supposed to be like flat have to be. 731 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,280 Even Yeah. So whatever angle that Mickey 732 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,720 and Minnie are in this game, their ears are noticeably like 733 00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:39,720 the same. Yeah, yeah. 734 00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:41,640 So. A rare like paid attention to 735 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,520 that, which is really cool because not all games it was 736 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,720 probably a. Requirement, but it's but it's 737 00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:48,800 like it like you, like you said, silhouette is how to how to do 738 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,160 it. So if you ever see that you know 739 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:55,440 the iconic Mickey Mouse silhouette shape, you know it 740 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,960 has to be the even ears on either. 741 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,680 Side if you look when they when they turn their heads, it's like 742 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,960 their ears, like one goes up and the other goes down rather than 743 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,640 like turn like physically turning the ears. 744 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,160 So you don't see the front of the ear ever. 745 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,000 You always see behind the ears basically. 746 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,760 Yeah, yeah. So there's little little touches 747 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:18,720 and stuff I want to talk about about the items because this is 748 00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:20,920 a curd racer, a curd racer. So those items, right? 749 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,600 There's always there's always something to either screw you 750 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:25,960 over or screw your opponents over. 751 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,840 And then I think included in that can be like you talked 752 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,800 about it a little bit, but like the environment sort of like 753 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,320 boosts and things like that. I want to mention the boost 754 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,440 stuff first because I don't think there's very many of them. 755 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,000 And I was a little disappointed in that. 756 00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:38,800 To me, it felt like there wasn't that many. 757 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,800 I don't know if that mattered to you or if you even agree with 758 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:48,920 me. Some stages, some tracks, I can 759 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,760 see that because it's like you get these big large, actually 760 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,920 the one you're on right now kind of has a few. 761 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,160 There's there's only a few. It just, it, it feels, 762 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,440 especially on the lower difficulties, it just feels like 763 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,360 the boosts are few and far between. 764 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:11,320 So you're moving kind of painstakingly slow and the items 765 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,040 don't really help balance that out so much. 766 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,640 I feel like I don't know what the percentage is for like 767 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,240 getting specific items, but I feel like the ones that give you 768 00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:24,760 boosts of speed or like there's a. 769 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,720 A. Bubble that you go into that 770 00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:30,520 gives you like like a turbo, like it just maxes out your 771 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,480 stats and everything. It's essentially the star. 772 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,040 Yeah, it's. Essentially the star. 773 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,240 It's very hard to get that. I got it like like a couple 774 00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:40,320 times. That's it, yeah. 775 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,880 It's like even if it was, even if you're at the, even if you're 776 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,280 in last place, like it's just it's hard to get even then like 777 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,200 it will not show up for you if you're in like above 3rd place. 778 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,120 So that's. A big difference with this like 779 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,400 I mentioned I think a little while ago that like the rubber 780 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,520 banding is is here, but it you know, until you're the later 781 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,720 difficulties, it doesn't feel. As egregious as it does, 782 00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:04,960 especially in Mario Kart 64, like it's terrible in that 783 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,160 you're always, no matter what, what speed, whenever, what 784 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,720 difficulty you're playing at, if you're in first, that second 785 00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:11,680 place guys up your ass no matter what you do. 786 00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:13,600 Like it just happens. You're going to have like a 787 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:14,880 couple seconds of breathing room. 788 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,320 This, you know, as you get to the harder difficulties, I think 789 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,120 just all the racers are pretty good. 790 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,120 So it doesn't feel like it's always just one guy or 1 791 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,680 character right behind you the entire time or you're always 792 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,760 trying to beat 11 character. That's actually one thing that I 793 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:33,160 noticed is and the medium and higher difficulty, it's not 794 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,080 always you and one other racer that are getting all the points 795 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,400 essentially. Sometimes the if you come in 2nd 796 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,400 and you know, let's say Mickey wins, wins the first race, you 797 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,720 come in second. If you win the next one, Mickey 798 00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:46,480 could come in fourth in the next one. 799 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:47,440 Yeah. Right. 800 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,160 And I, I think that's interesting. 801 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,120 I think that makes things feel more balanced and you're not 802 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,640 always just looking for one sort of enemy racer. 803 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,560 You know, I, I like that that was the case. 804 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,040 And I think that's part of the balancing of just how they 805 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,480 programmed it and stuff and the lack of the rubber banding and 806 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,040 things like that. So I thought that was, that was 807 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:07,320 a really good choice. And you know what? 808 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,280 Else they do, yeah, they offer retries. 809 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,840 You can have two retries per Grand Prix, which is actually 810 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:20,480 very helpful if you're stuck because inevitably it's one 811 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,320 particular track that you will struggle with. 812 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,040 Like it'll, it'll just be one. Like you'll be fine on all the 813 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,760 rest. For me, in professional 814 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,920 difficulty, playing on New York track, which is what's being 815 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,320 played on right now. I was Pete. 816 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:39,160 There was a point I just could not win and I played the track 817 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,680 perfectly. I mean, I hit every single 818 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,000 boost, every single turn as quick as I could. 819 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:49,160 I was getting decent items. I just could not win and I 820 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,200 retried several times. It just was not happening. 821 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:57,000 I think I I think I maxed out at like 4th place and I had won 822 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,240 every other race. So I still was like I don't 823 00:42:00,240 --> 00:42:03,080 remember if I got first or second but I ended up having to 824 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:08,440 switch characters and do whichever 1I unlocked whichever 825 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,160 one of the the triplets I unlocked. 826 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:12,800 Whatever color, I don't know, I think. 827 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,520 It's the blue one. I'm I can't remember, but I know 828 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,720 I know that Louie is actually considered to be the best racer 829 00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:21,040 in the game because his stats. OK, I missed. 830 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,640 That, yeah. His stats are the green one. 831 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,360 If that is Louie, I'm pretty sure that's Louie I'm getting. 832 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,680 I'm confused. I wasn't as confused going into 833 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:29,640 this. Now I'm gonna let so. 834 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,000 Keep going. I'm gonna let this get. 835 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,720 I'm not gonna come to you. I. 836 00:42:33,720 --> 00:42:35,960 Believe Louie is the best racer in the game. 837 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,040 His stats are fairly high. You know what, I think I 838 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:44,440 actually have the stats over here because he is. 839 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:54,440 Huey has yes. OK, so Huey's red, Louie is 840 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,360 green and Dewey is blue. So I think we're wrong. 841 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,040 Yeah, So Louis, Louis is the best possible racer or regarded 842 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,960 as the best possible racer. He has two out of five in 843 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,080 weight. So he's not actually super 844 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,280 heavy. He's on the lighter side, but 845 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,400 he's not. He's not light light. 846 00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:14,600 He still has a little weight to him. 847 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,400 His handling is maxed out, which is very important when it comes 848 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,240 to the later races like that helps you so much. 849 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,040 His acceleration is nearly maxed out. 850 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:28,160 It's missing one dot at the top, so that's very fast acceleration 851 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:32,280 and his top speed is average. So he basically has like the 852 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:37,160 highest stats without being just average and everything, right? 853 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,440 So I and. And he's the, he's the is he the 854 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,720 first unlock or second unlock that you get? 855 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,240 He's. The unlock you have to. 856 00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:50,680 Get 3. You have to get first in three 857 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,960 cups on amateur and intermediate, which is not crazy 858 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,720 difficult to get. Like it's not easy, but it's not 859 00:43:56,720 --> 00:43:59,480 crazy difficult to get. It's not like he's, you know, 860 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:03,000 impossible. So those are the 1st 2 861 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,800 difficulties of the races so that that's, you know, that's 862 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,960 manageable and stuff. So you don't have to like play 863 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,280 this thing for dozens of hours just to get him. 864 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:15,880 So that helps. The other thing too is I want to 865 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,080 talk, go back to the to the items for a minute too. 866 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:22,800 Is that what's you mentioned that and this is kind of how we 867 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,960 bounced off it, I think is that the rubber banding stuff? 868 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,840 Is that like the items don't even respond that way, which 869 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,920 which is interesting, right? Like there is like this 870 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:34,720 percentage of each item. I very often got the baseball, 871 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,280 yeah. And the sludge thing, which is 872 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,280 like the banana. Listen. 873 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:45,960 I am I. I was very in my video. 874 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:51,440 I was very reserved when I talked about how much I hate 875 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,160 the. I think it's called the Racer 876 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,320 Tracer. It's like the red remote 877 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,360 controlled car that you launch. It's like the red shell and 878 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:02,720 Mario Kart. That's what it. 879 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,800 Is it's like the red shell and Mario Kart? 880 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,840 If it didn't work, that's what it is. 881 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,920 It doesn't work as. Well, you're, yeah, you're not 882 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,200 running. The the there's, there's an RC 883 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:15,000 airplane that works perfectly. That is, that is what I consider 884 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,320 the red shell because that's great and functionally it's the 885 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,360 same. The only difference is the the 886 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:25,680 RC plane one flies and it homes in on the opponent, but it will 887 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,240 actually make turns. You cannot hit with the Racer 888 00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:31,560 Tracer unless they're right in front of you. 889 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:37,080 Oh yeah, I guess so it I'm. Telling you if they, if they 890 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,080 turn, if they do anything, it will not hit them. 891 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,880 And in fact, more often than not it would just go straight into 892 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,040 the wall. And so every time I got it, I 893 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,720 would just immediately press Z and just get rid of it because 894 00:45:49,720 --> 00:45:52,320 it was useless. I'm like, forget it. 895 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,880 But to get that other one, to get the plane, to get the RC 896 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:56,920 thing, see here it is. Right here. 897 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,240 Let's see what happens. Yeah, well, no one's in front of 898 00:45:59,240 --> 00:46:00,400 me, so it's not gonna do anything. 899 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,760 I think I just held onto it. It doesn't. 900 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,280 The plain, the plain one is is was again one of those ones 901 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,440 that's really hard to get. I got like a handful of time. 902 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:15,000 That was it like, and I guess that's OK that it's not always, 903 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,560 you know, you only get the thing that gives you the advantage, 904 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,040 but that does increase the difficulty like that makes it 905 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,680 harder if you are on the middle or God forbid, the harder, the 906 00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,440 hardest difficulty, the professional 1 and you don't get 907 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:29,720 the item you need. That's it. 908 00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:32,000 You're done. Like if you've done a lap, I 909 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,360 found if you've done a lap and you don't get the item you need 910 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,840 to help you get back and or the OR the computer doesn't doesn't 911 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,080 screw up in some way, you're done. 912 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,720 Like you races aren't super long like most cart racers, so a 913 00:46:44,720 --> 00:46:48,040 couple minutes is all it is. But like you use those retries, 914 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:49,600 like you said, you got to use those retries yeah. 915 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,520 Otherwise you're you're kind of screwed and the. 916 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,760 Thing the thing that kind of stinks about the items and it's 917 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,520 there. There's only two items, unless 918 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,200 I'm wrong about that number count, but I'm pretty sure 919 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,600 there's only two items that you can use forwards and backwards. 920 00:47:04,720 --> 00:47:06,240 Yeah, that's the. Baseball. 921 00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:08,120 Yeah, the. Baseball and the goo, the slime 922 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:09,520 or the paint and the. Slime. 923 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,040 Yeah, I think that's it. Yeah, 'cause you can. 924 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,040 Throw it. You can throw the paint forward 925 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,640 or you can just drop it like an oil slick right behind you. 926 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,720 Yeah. And the baseball's the same. 927 00:47:17,720 --> 00:47:20,200 You can launch it forward like a green shell, or you can like 928 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:21,920 just drop it immediately behind you. 929 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:23,800 It doesn't move. It just stays there. 930 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,560 And it's sort of like a little trap you set. 931 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,560 I did like that. I like that. 932 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,360 That's cool. I feel like if the eraser Tracer 933 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,880 could do backwards it would have been useful. 934 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:35,880 Oh. For sure, because the guy would 935 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:37,760 be up your up, up your butt and you're just like, oh, we're 936 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,360 going to get the guy behind me. That would be great. 937 00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,560 It would be an that would be so useful if it did that. 938 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,200 I did like with the baseball, there's a little bit of like a a 939 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,320 spin on on the shell sort of idea. 940 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,640 Is that when you when you it's called, what's it called? 941 00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,560 Baseball chucker, by the way. Yeah. 942 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,080 Baseball chucker. That sounds right, yeah. 943 00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:54,320 And like. There's a voice every time you 944 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:55,600 pick it up. Baseball chucker. 945 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,440 Like, I like that. I thought that was, that was 946 00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:58,240 kind of fun. I like that. 947 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,280 The, The thing is about that one is if if you throw it, no one's 948 00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:03,720 in front of you or you don't hit someone. 949 00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,880 It bounces off the wall a couple times and it stops at a certain 950 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,040 point and just sits on the track. 951 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,320 Wherever it loses, it loses momentum. 952 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,240 I thought that was kind of cool. Like, you don't plan on where 953 00:48:15,240 --> 00:48:18,720 that's going to go, but that also means like, oh, that could 954 00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:20,480 be yours too. Yeah. 955 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,040 That you're going to dodge later, Right. 956 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,120 So I, I thought that was kind of interesting. 957 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:29,840 It's a very small idea, but I do think that at least it added a 958 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,760 little bit of a different personality compared to, you 959 00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:34,960 know, if you're comparing this in Mario Kart, for example. 960 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:40,400 So that that was interesting. But I for the most part, I don't 961 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,000 think there's enough items and I don't think they're that great. 962 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,480 I think it's one of the greener parts of this game for sure. 963 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:50,760 They're definitely, they're not horrible, but they're not no 964 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,360 good. They're just that exciting. 965 00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:58,600 Like they're just not that cool. I don't know what the limitation 966 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,400 like why there's such a limitation on them and and all 967 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,160 that, but they're. Not, you know, they're not. 968 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,680 It doesn't have the variety. Oh there there is the the 969 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,880 Thunder Club 1-2, which is also really hard to get. 970 00:49:10,720 --> 00:49:13,240 I I honestly, I think I got that once, yeah. 971 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,200 That one's also really hard to get in a. 972 00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:18,040 Few hours of playing, I don't even know exactly how long I 973 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:22,720 played it, but going through two difficulties completely I think 974 00:49:22,720 --> 00:49:25,160 I may have gotten it once. Yeah, that's. 975 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,160 That's crazy with like some retries and stuff in there too. 976 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,320 It's it. It was not nothing like I played 977 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,680 this enough now that. We're now that we're like 978 00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,360 sitting here chatting about it. I'm just thinking to myself like 979 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,200 I don't think it's that there weren't enough items. 980 00:49:39,240 --> 00:49:42,400 I think it's you don't get the variety of items that you 981 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,560 should. Yeah, maybe as you're doing the 982 00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:48,240 race because you only you really get. 3. 983 00:49:48,240 --> 00:49:52,920 The baseball chucker, the slime and the racer Tracer over and 984 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,560 over and over and over and over. And then occasionally you get 985 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,000 something. That's the Magnum Flyer. 986 00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:02,760 That's the name of it. And then the the the boost. 987 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,000 The the Oh yeah, I forgot about the boost. 988 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,960 There's a boost. Again, something that is that is 989 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,480 like the mushroom in Mario Kart. I'm gonna keep comparing to 990 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,240 Mario Kart but like the mushroom. 991 00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:15,320 Compared to Mario Kart is so. Is so rare to get. 992 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,520 Why, Yeah. It's like we're talking, if I, 993 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:22,520 if I had to list these into percentages, it's like Racer 994 00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,480 Tracer, probably like. Baseball. 995 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,960 I would say 40. Percent chance, I would say the 996 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:33,960 baseball chucker, like 30% chance, I would say the slime. 997 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:36,640 Let's see, what are we at? We're at 70. 998 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,320 The slime's probably 25%. And then the rest of the items 999 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,960 are in that little window there for the rest of the percentage. 1000 00:50:44,720 --> 00:50:46,920 Yeah, that's what it feels like. It's. 1001 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,120 It's crazy that that doesn't make any sense to me. 1002 00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:53,160 Like, I don't know, it's just, it's just how they did it. 1003 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,600 They just, they took a different approach with the items as far 1004 00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,160 as like when you get them and how you get them. 1005 00:50:57,240 --> 00:51:00,320 And like I said, I I do think that makes this more difficult 1006 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,280 than it needs to be on the higher difficulties. 1007 00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,000 I think that would have made a made a bit of a difference. 1008 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:08,000 Yeah. And it's. 1009 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,120 Interesting they went the Mario Kart route with like individual 1010 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,200 items as opposed to Diddy Kong Racing, because that's one of 1011 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,360 the things I loved about Diddy Kong Racing was that you could, 1012 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,160 yeah, we both loved that you could plan out your items and 1013 00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,960 have strategy to it. Whereas this is, it's just the 1014 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:26,880 random, you know, it's a, it's a party, party racer versus yeah, 1015 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,920 competitive. That's how I see Diddy Kong 1016 00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,000 Racing as competitive. Yeah, I mean it, but it's, 1017 00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,920 again, I think that that's very much like the single player 1018 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,800 thing too is, yeah, you're in this, you're in this experience, 1019 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,160 you're in this, the story, which by the way, there's a story to 1020 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:43,200 this. We'll get to that in just a 1021 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:44,600 second. Just reminding me that there is 1022 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:51,400 a story to this game that the sort of like World of Diddy Kong 1023 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:55,440 Racing is you, you're the racer, you're going through these races 1024 00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,720 for reasons. Like all those things add to the 1025 00:51:57,720 --> 00:51:59,600 whole choice that you were just talking about and being able to 1026 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,200 have like strategy. It's not an RPG, obviously, but 1027 00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:07,080 like, you know, you are planning within a race and that's 1028 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,560 interesting. And then this is, like you said, 1029 00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,600 just randomized essentially is what it is. 1030 00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,360 So what did you think of the story? 1031 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,040 Actually, Gigi, why don't you explain to me, explain to the 1032 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,560 audience what the story is here? Because there's a story to this 1033 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:20,600 game. Yep. 1034 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:25,920 So the weasels, those darn weasels who we we just met, 1035 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:30,040 decided to steal Pluto's diamond collar. 1036 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:35,400 And so in an effort to steal Pluto's diamond collar, they 1037 00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,120 stole Pluto. Because, you know, the collar 1038 00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:39,840 doesn't just come off the dog. It doesn't come. 1039 00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,120 Off. It doesn't come off. 1040 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,960 Also it's fake spoiler. Mickey. 1041 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,760 Yes. Spoiler Mickey literally is is 1042 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:50,880 so terrible to his dog that he glued the collar to his neck. 1043 00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:51,720 Yep. That's it. 1044 00:52:51,720 --> 00:52:53,480 It's. A combo deal you have to have 1045 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:57,000 so. The weasels leave a note saying 1046 00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,160 that they did this and how nice of them. 1047 00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:03,320 Yeah. And for some reason, they 1048 00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,760 require us to be professional racers to. 1049 00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,560 I'm not even joking. It's not even the like we have 1050 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,600 to go across the country and chase him across the country. 1051 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,960 And he calls his friends for help because that is that is 1052 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:19,240 what happens at first. But if you go and you start 1053 00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:24,120 beating races, the professor literally says the weasels 1054 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,400 require you to be professional racers. 1055 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,520 Yeah, I don't. It's OK. 1056 00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:31,560 It's fine. Like just like this. 1057 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,640 Part right here, Mickey says hey, everybody's got he's he's 1058 00:53:34,720 --> 00:53:36,080 calling him up on his blue phone. 1059 00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,240 Hey, everybody, the weasels took Pluto. 1060 00:53:38,240 --> 00:53:41,640 Meet me at Ludwig's shop. We have to get race cars to go 1061 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,360 after him, OK? I'm with you so far, Mickey. 1062 00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,480 Yeah, I get it. That's awful. 1063 00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:47,720 Wait for me. Oh, and. 1064 00:53:47,720 --> 00:53:52,280 Pete's just there. And Goofy gets his own giant 1065 00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:56,360 screen like think it's so funny, keep in mind. 1066 00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,960 Very similar plot to the Mickey's Racing Adventure, 1067 00:53:59,960 --> 00:54:03,120 except last time it was Pete and his goons stealing all of 1068 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:04,680 Mickey's stuff. Mickey's. 1069 00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,080 Stuff. Yeah, yeah, that's right. 1070 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,720 And then that's pretty much it. Like why do they need you to 1071 00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:14,440 race in the closed race against your friends that are supposed 1072 00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,280 to be helping you, right? Your friends are supposed to be 1073 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,840 helping you, but you're all just trying to like they're very 1074 00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:21,680 enthusiastic. That they want to help you too. 1075 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:23,280 And yet. The second. 1076 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,240 You start, you are racing against them. 1077 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,480 And they all yell at you like every time something happens. 1078 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:31,360 They're just shocked. You're saying with the sound 1079 00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:36,440 effect, Donald? Well, you were supposed to be 1080 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,880 helping. Yeah, I should be yelling at 1081 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:39,800 you. God damn it. 1082 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:41,440 Oh. Man, it is. 1083 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,800 Yeah, it is great. The only person who's actually 1084 00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:48,280 helpful is the professor because he just soups up our vehicles, 1085 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,640 gives, gives us there's. Four or five collectibles that 1086 00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:54,720 you have to like car parts that will oh, I. 1087 00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:57,280 Love that part. That's one of my favorite things 1088 00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,760 because that reminds me of Diddy Kong Racing, collecting the keys 1089 00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,240 and it makes you want to explore the tracks. 1090 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:09,720 So I believe, which I did not pick up on this at first, but I 1091 00:55:09,720 --> 00:55:12,880 believe the areas on the map, when you're looking at the map 1092 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,160 and it shows you like the next race, the areas that have the 1093 00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:18,560 little weasel icon on them are actually the areas that have the 1094 00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:22,160 hidden part set. Yeah. 1095 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,800 So Indianapolis right there has a hidden part, Yeah. 1096 00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,440 There's a little weasel there. I was trying to figure out. 1097 00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:28,840 I didn't want to look it up. I looked up. 1098 00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,880 I looked up what they were at 1st and I was like, oh, OK, 1099 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,120 yeah, there's various. I looked up the last one. 1100 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:35,200 I can't remember which one it was. 1101 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,000 I couldn't find one of them. And I was like, OK, I'll look it 1102 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:38,920 up. But I didn't actually really 1103 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:40,400 know that. I knew there was collectibles. 1104 00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,640 Yep. But I oh, OK, interesting. 1105 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:43,320 OK, Yeah. So. 1106 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:47,320 You get that and I, I think that's how you unlock Frantic 1107 00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,920 Finale. You get all the, the hidden 1108 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:53,360 parts and then it unlocks the last Grand Prix and that's the 1109 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,520 one that's super hard and you're super fast. 1110 00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,200 I unlocked it. And I never played it like I got 1111 00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,560 to the effort of doing it and I never played it 'cause I just 1112 00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,480 ran out of time or whatever. So I. 1113 00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,600 Mean it's not an easy game to beat. 1114 00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:08,880 It's it's honestly like the more time I spent with this game, 1115 00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:13,800 though, the more I was liking it, which usually I get usually 1116 00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,440 I get sick of games like I'll be playing it for a while and then 1117 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,160 I'll get sick of it. But this one I I was finding 1118 00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,720 myself enjoying it more and more as I kept going. 1119 00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,200 I just kept getting better at the mechanics, getting a little 1120 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,400 bit faster, paying attention to my times. 1121 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,520 It was fun unlocking characters because unlocking Huey, Dooey, 1122 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,520 Louie and the professor, those are all the unlockable 1123 00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:34,440 characters. There's 4. 1124 00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:38,200 But you do, I feel like they give you a steady pace at 1125 00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,120 unlocking them, that you don't feel like you, you have to do 1126 00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,720 something to unlock them and it feels special and significant 1127 00:56:43,720 --> 00:56:45,200 every time you do. Yeah. 1128 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:46,440 And. And they feel different enough. 1129 00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,440 It's not like, oh, you're just getting the skin right, you 1130 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:49,120 know? Right. 1131 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,240 Like you said, they do all have their own stats and stuff, which 1132 00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:56,320 by the way, other games were comparing this to in in the same 1133 00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:00,760 Gen. as Mario Kart 64 and Diddy Kong Racing, you do not see the 1134 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:02,600 stats of the racers. Exactly. 1135 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,920 It's just about feel like when I was younger, I think I talked 1136 00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,520 about this with Diddy Kong Racing me and you have, I had no 1137 00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:09,080 idea there were stats on any of the racers. 1138 00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,920 I kind of, I kind of knew like I had a feeling like, oh, this 1139 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:16,080 guy's heavier, but other than that, I never noticed that the 1140 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,200 acceleration with enough nothing, right? 1141 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,760 The slow guys you can understand cuz you're like, oh, he starts 1142 00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:22,560 slow. That's simple for any kid to 1143 00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:24,480 kind of understand. But for me that was it. 1144 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:25,680 It's as far as it went with this. 1145 00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,440 It's right in front of you. You pick your character, it has 1146 00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:30,160 all the stats right in front of you and you notice the 1147 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:31,400 difference pretty much right away. 1148 00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:32,520 I would say. Oh. 1149 00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:35,160 Yeah, it's much easier to pick up on when you know exactly what 1150 00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,480 you're trying to like, feel for. Yeah. 1151 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:41,520 Because I know Mario Kart 64, that one, I did notice it in 1152 00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,600 Diddy Kong Racing. Because I think the difference 1153 00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:52,240 in handling as like crunch versus like, say, Pipsy is very, 1154 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,320 very obvious. Yeah, yeah. 1155 00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:56,120 Oh my God, he is so frustrating. Yeah. 1156 00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,000 By the way, but like Mario Kart, I don't think I really noticed 1157 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,400 handling as much as I did like acceleration. 1158 00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,720 Acceleration and. I just, yeah, and I just really 1159 00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,240 felt like, oh, Toad's the best because he just went the 1160 00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:13,080 fastest, the fastest. But yeah, this one, I, I think 1161 00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,880 having the stats laid out adds another element because then you 1162 00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:19,960 know what you're looking for, because it's, it's not even a 1163 00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:23,840 one-size-fits-all. Like it's not like someone as 1164 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,080 Pete is always gonna win against someone as Mickey. 1165 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,560 It depends. It depends on the skill and how 1166 00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,000 you, because Mickey will have an advantage over Pete, like 1167 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,280 turning corners, whereas Pete will have it if you're, it's a 1168 00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,960 straight stretch going, going faster if you hit the boosts and 1169 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:41,560 stuff. So then it's based on your skill 1170 00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,560 how good you can. Turn familiarity with the, with 1171 00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,640 the tracks. Yeah, yeah, it, it, it pays off 1172 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:50,760 because like there's, like you mentioned earlier, there's some 1173 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:52,600 shortcuts like this one's the Grand Canyon one. 1174 00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:55,800 There's a particular shortcut in this one that I, I just found I 1175 00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:57,640 stumbled upon and I used it a couple times. 1176 00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:01,200 I, you have to really like navigate them well to, to really 1177 00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,240 take advantage of them, which clearly in this shot that I'm, 1178 00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,560 we're watching here, I did not hit the wall like 4 times. 1179 00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:08,760 You know what? The shortcuts in all the 1180 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,760 different tracks are amazing to look for though, that's part of 1181 00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,840 the fun. It's cool, it's good. 1182 00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:17,320 It's a, it's a very classic idea for games. 1183 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,120 I I like that. I like the idea that they're 1184 00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:23,480 there. You know, often it is it helps 1185 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:28,200 with to add variety to whether you know it's there or not. 1186 00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,680 You have it right and and it can help you with the higher 1187 00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:37,840 difficulties and stuff. I think so I, I overall, I think 1188 00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,960 the game's pretty good. Do I absolutely love it? 1189 00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:46,920 No, but I I have fun. Yeah, this is. 1190 00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,720 One of those, if you find it somewhere, it's actually 1191 00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:53,800 probably going to be pretty cheap and it's totally worth a 1192 00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,080 pick up. I have mixed experiences with 1193 00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:04,120 Mickey games, mostly because I got the Mickey's Magical Mirror 1194 01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,920 on GameCube at a video game store not long not long ago, 1195 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,160 like maybe last year, and I did a review on it. 1196 01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:14,960 I actually was expecting it to be really cool 'cause it looks 1197 01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:16,600 so cool from the cover and stuff. 1198 01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,600 And I thought it was gonna be, I was going, I was looking for 1199 01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:23,120 epic Mickey like platformer again, and that's what it looked 1200 01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,040 like on the back. And then it ended up being a 1201 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:28,680 point and click and a very mediocre one at that, Yeah. 1202 01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:31,600 If it's not, if it's not a great point and click, it's not good. 1203 01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:33,360 Dude, they. Really sell you on that one 1204 01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:36,640 because they're like Shigeru Miyamoto also had a hand in that 1205 01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:41,120 game design and it had like a Luigi's Mansion vibe, like very 1206 01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,760 similar animations and stuff. Really. 1207 01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,400 Yep, and then it ended up being a really mediocre point and 1208 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:50,640 click and that sucks. It has its charm, but it's not 1209 01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:52,920 that great. But this game is great. 1210 01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,680 I I'm going to go as far as to say it's great. 1211 01:00:56,280 --> 01:01:01,560 It's just if you want a fun cart racer and you have a 64 and you 1212 01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:03,920 find this game, it's totally worth it. 1213 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:08,320 You will have hours of fun and it's one of those if you get 1214 01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:10,800 good and you have your friends and you like you all get good. 1215 01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:13,840 It could be really competitive and I like that, yes. 1216 01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:17,360 Yes and it still is because there is the difficulty 1217 01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:23,160 variation and because there is a decent amount of of tracks and 1218 01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,360 like like you said, unlocking the characters is still pretty 1219 01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:27,600 fun. Playing it single player like I 1220 01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:30,680 did was still good. Like I still enjoyed it. 1221 01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:35,680 I I, I don't personally, it's not a great game for me based on 1222 01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:37,800 probably just my lack of skill with it. 1223 01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:41,840 So I was like, oh, this is, you know, whatever, But that's part 1224 01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,840 of the reason why I would say, But I I don't disagree that it 1225 01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,280 is definitely worth playing and definitely something that if 1226 01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,120 you're in the mood for a cart racer 1, you haven't played and 1227 01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,000 one that will probably surprise you at least a little bit. 1228 01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,680 I think this should be on the list from this generation for 1229 01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:56,360 sure. And it's a. 1230 01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,800 Cool piece of history with Rare because it's how. 1231 01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:00,640 How often did Rare make Disney games? 1232 01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:05,040 A couple times, but. But you know, it's just, it's, 1233 01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:10,200 you know, it's in its own unique spot where it is, it's a, a 1234 01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,560 license, like the, the biggest license you can think of in the 1235 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:17,680 world and it's rare and it's a cart racer. 1236 01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,680 Like it's just a very interesting cross section of all 1237 01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:23,440 these things. And for the most part, yeah, I, 1238 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:25,760 I think that they, they pull it off and it's, and it's a lot of 1239 01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:28,560 fun and there's a lot you can dig into and, and enjoy. 1240 01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:33,560 So there's me coming in 2nd place instead of first because I 1241 01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:35,440 suck. Give it. 1242 01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:37,240 Give it. Let's just take my word for it 1243 01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,600 and give it two hours. Yeah. 1244 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:43,440 Play it for two hours and I guarantee you'll be hooked. 1245 01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,640 And if you're not? If you're not hooked, it's 1246 01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:50,640 Dave's fault. Hey, I'll take it. 1247 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:52,600 I'll take. It at least I get credit for 1248 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:53,840 something and if you're. Struggling. 1249 01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,360 Just try a different racer. Yeah, find. 1250 01:02:56,360 --> 01:03:00,000 Find your niche. But that's that's true though, 1251 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,880 that is definitely something that that will actually help. 1252 01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,240 I I had to do that because I started with goofy and I just 1253 01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:07,440 moved on to like Donald and things like that. 1254 01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:11,400 So I do think that it's it does make a difference I. 1255 01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,400 I started with Mickey because I wanted to do like the base 1256 01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:18,400 average and then I I went on to Goofy. 1257 01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:22,640 I liked Goofy, but Pete was like dominating in the races. 1258 01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:24,880 Like he was always right behind me and I was like, well, maybe I 1259 01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:26,760 can just eliminate Pete if I just be Pete. 1260 01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:30,520 And so I was Pete and my strategy worked and no one else. 1261 01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:32,600 Yep, if you can't. Beat them, join them if you. 1262 01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:36,080 Can't beat them join them and nobody else, nobody else was 1263 01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:40,280 holding that tight grip on 2nd place that Pete was so that if 1264 01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:44,040 if I lost a race, he didn't automatically win, you know what 1265 01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:47,120 I mean? Like it was, it was great. 1266 01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:49,640 What's? The What's the Batman quote? 1267 01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:52,920 You become long enough to become the villain or whatever. 1268 01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:54,360 That's basically what you do, yes. 1269 01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,160 Yes, you either die of the hero or you live long enough to see 1270 01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,880 yourself become the villain. And I just said, you know what? 1271 01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:01,320 We'll just forget about being the hero. 1272 01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:02,760 Let's just go right to the villain. 1273 01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,800 Let's do it. Become the villain, the jiggy 1274 01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:07,080 look back story. Yes. 1275 01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:10,400 Become the villain, Jiggy. Look back 2024. 1276 01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,640 The last quote of 2024. Oh, I guess this is the first 1277 01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:16,920 quote of 2025, hey. We're sitting in 24 right now. 1278 01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:19,400 It's fine, we're close. We're close to the end already. 1279 01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:21,160 We're very we're. Very close to the end in a lot 1280 01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:24,720 of ways. Yeah, in a lot of different ways 1281 01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:25,360 right now. In a lot. 1282 01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:31,240 In a lot of ways. Life anyway, Speaking of life, 1283 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:35,920 Speaking of 24 and 25 Jiggy exciting year coming up great 1284 01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,800 year behind you, which is which is awesome. 1285 01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,800 Congrats again. We don't need to sort of, you 1286 01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,280 know, spoil sort of plans that are coming up and stuff, but I 1287 01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,920 assume, you know, letting everybody know that plans are in 1288 01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:51,440 the works for for another exciting 20 and another exciting 1289 01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,040 year for 2025. Oh. 1290 01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:57,160 Yeah, absolutely. Got a lot of cool projects, so 1291 01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:59,960 many projects, so little time. That's where I'm at. 1292 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,120 I just I have so many ideas and I want to do them all, but it's 1293 01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:06,680 it's a pick and choose thing. I've actually started asking on 1294 01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:10,600 my YouTube like community posts. I'm just like, OK, so out of 1295 01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:14,360 these, what do you like? Because I have so many, so many 1296 01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:17,120 things I wanna do but. But that's OK 'cause 'cause it 1297 01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:20,760 gives you a lane to go in for that time, and then you can go 1298 01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,560 back to the other ones if you want to after, right, Like I 1299 01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:26,440 have. To say the end, the end 1300 01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:31,640 specifically of 2024 has been a banger of good games too, which 1301 01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,560 sunk sunk a good chunk of my time. 1302 01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:39,680 Like somehow I found a way to do YouTube videos, live streaming 1303 01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:44,920 and play new games. And it, it, it was just wild. 1304 01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:48,640 But I'm telling you, October, like Zelda, Echoes of Wisdom, 1305 01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:52,040 great game. Shadow Generations, that was a 1306 01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,920 great game. Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. 1307 01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,320 I was actually playing before we started this podcast, which I 1308 01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:59,920 was like, give me 5 minutes 'cause I'm doing online matches. 1309 01:05:59,920 --> 01:06:03,360 It's pretty fun. And there's one more in there I 1310 01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:07,440 totally forgot, but yeah. It's been a it's been a solid 1311 01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:10,040 end of the year, yeah. It's like all at the end of the 1312 01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:14,360 year though. Oh, Astrobots, but I. 1313 01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:18,480 Have to play Astro bot man I, I, I just I've only I've honestly 1314 01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:21,960 95% of the time in the last six months been on my steam deck 1315 01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:23,960 because it's just been I picked one up. 1316 01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:26,440 I, I, I bought one that was on sale. 1317 01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:28,680 It was an OLED one. I was I'm really, really happy 1318 01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:32,480 with it. But like the PlayStation, the 1319 01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,080 Xbox, my PC, like it's just. Yep. 1320 01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:37,120 Anything that hasn't been on Steam, I just haven't really 1321 01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:40,280 played that much this year, at least in the second-half of the 1322 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:44,200 year. So but yeah, and, and fitting 1323 01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,600 games like this in I think is always great. 1324 01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:48,560 Like now I can play some of these on my Steam Deck if I have 1325 01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:50,720 to. I would prefer to sit and play 1326 01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:52,280 with the 64 controller in my hand. 1327 01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:56,680 But if I have to, at least I have the option and it can also 1328 01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:00,000 follow my progress when I do play on Steam Deck on retro 1329 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,400 achievements, which Diggy you have to get on. 1330 01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:04,120 You have to get have to get on that. 1331 01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:05,520 Yeah, I. Do although. 1332 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:08,120 You can't match it up with with like every driver for doing that 1333 01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:09,760 or the physical like actual cartridge. 1334 01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:12,240 So but if you are emulating it's cool. 1335 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:14,800 Gotcha. Puts achievements on retro games 1336 01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:17,080 if you're emulating, I do. Love that. 1337 01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:19,480 That's pretty cool and retro. Arc and retro arch and stuff 1338 01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:20,880 like that. So it's it's been fun. 1339 01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:23,360 I did that as in the last six months as well. 1340 01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:24,640 I got that account going. That's fun. 1341 01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,800 As far as this show goes, this is the first of 2025. 1342 01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:32,600 I want to say again, like, thank you for people for just, you 1343 01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:36,520 know, dealing with my life getting in the way and stuff. 1344 01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:39,680 It's all good stuff. Like we have a family, we have a 1345 01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:40,880 child now. It's amazing. 1346 01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:44,360 But you know, I always wanted, I was always thinking about the 1347 01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:45,360 show. What am I going to come back? 1348 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,200 What am I going to do?

I'm happy to sort of pivot and 1356 01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:12,200 stuff. There's been a bit of a break 1357 01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:14,120 here. Why not, you know, try something 1358 01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:17,840 different every once in a while and and that's just exciting to 1359 01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:19,399 do and and it's just exciting to be back. 1360 01:08:19,399 --> 01:08:22,920 So great game to start with. We're going to get in some heavy 1361 01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:26,880 hitters probably in the first half of the year for 2025 as 1362 01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,720 well.
