  Is Monkeyness about to give new meaning to PK Flash?

  I do love that the one character with no magical powers has the most fantastical journey the game has had yet. Befriending a monkey and riding the Loch Ness monster while Ness and Paula have been dealing with gang members and cultists.

  The woman working for the  zombies makes a lot of sense with the corporate allegory: Japan's billion dollar sex work industry as a band-aid on the soul-crushing lifestyle of sallarymen and all that.

  While the Cave Boys seem overpowered in Stonehenge for Jeff initially, I think they&apos;re tweaked reasonably well. <br><br>They miss nearly every attack, are very slow, and are guaranteed to drop Picnic Lunches. <br><br>They are deliberately made that way to allow for advanced players to have Jeff catch up in levels with Ness and Paula.

  Since the Player’s Guide said that you had to follow them mysterious lady, I thought that she might’ve been working for Giygas and had known something.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_8FdHP9fbw&amp;t=952">15:52</a> &quot;Pak&quot; was also used by Nintendo during this time for their game cartridges! &quot;Game Pak&quot; was the brand used for the NES, SNES, and N64 carts.

  I’ve been loving these play-by-play analyses. To be seeing this game being put under a microscope is incredible to this old-school Earthbound fan who knows every detail. Keep going man!

  It should be noted that the Bad Key Machine is literally just a key ring, with like 20 individual keys, attached to a tape measure.<br><br>I&apos;m not making that up. That&apos;s legitimately the reference they give you.

  I suspect that the &apos;calorie stick&apos; item is merely a cleverly self-conscious mistranslation of &apos;energy bar&apos; from the Japanese.

  This video made me pass my philosophy class in university. That’s how powerful and mind changing this video is.
