And with that, I have finished TTYD.

Amazing game, I left some of the trouble side quests untouched. I'll try to 100% the remake whenever I get it (not anytime soon methinks. Not the biggest fan of how it looks).

Past Poshley Heights

I absolutely adore the train chapter, the vibes are very cozy. Also my goodness this game is long.

Past Glitzville, and out of Twilight Town!

More TTYD.

Currently in Glitzville.

Playing The Thousand Year Door.

Not the remake, a for sure legitimate copy on the GameCube. My GameCube didn't shit out on me no sir.

I Love Luigi and Peach so much.

I haven't drawn mario characters since middle school? It's been so long. Since I-

TTYD is a wild ride

The recent remake got me to reminisce about this game. There's just something so wonderfully out of place this game is in regards to the Mario franchise as a whole. In summary: Prologue: Welcome to this absolute hellhole of a city! Experience assault, gang violence, and robbery within mere minutes! Interludes: "...TTYD Peac, who gets naked 10,000 times per scene, is a statistical outlier adn should not have been counted." Chapter 1: Local dragon amasses absurdly high kill count via appeals to greed and foot fetishism Chapter 2: "Were... were they intending for this to be a metaphor for...?" (See: WoolieVS playthrough) (insights that make you go "oh no" 😬) Chapter 3: Mario is on the wrong side of the class divide, and needs mafia connections to proceed. Also, surprise! There's murders happening! Chapter 4: Mario's adventure suddenly becomes an allegory for gender dysphoria! ...You don't remember that? That's because the Gamecube-era localizers were COWARDS! (Remake-era, not so much 👍) Chapter 5: Don't worry about the fact that you released a murderous pillaging ghost-pirate out into the world for your own benefit. It's fine. Probably. Ch. 5 Bonus: ...What do you mean you also gave an endangered species brain damage???? Chapter 6: A nice, low-impact story arc to unwind and- OH GOD THEY'RE EVERYWHERE AAAAAGGGH Chapter 7: Mario reactivates an old Cold War-era Soviet weapons system. By now this sort of thing feels par for the course. Chapter 8: funny bing bing wahoo man fights the harbinger of the End Times
