GoldenIt's been 2 years since the start of the DLC, and although it may have halted any hope for a new Mario Kart, it was still a very pleasant (yet controversial) surprise. With the DLC now complete, and 8 new characters added to boot, it seems like a perfect package. Not exactly though, as there are some courses some find to be questionable.. some wonder why it's even included. There've been videos about it before so, why not tackle it myself? Will I improve the Booster Course Pass? Let's find out!

ft. @WeegeeMaro and @F7jin (also someone else joined in but they were muted on their behalf)The Hidden Meaning Behind Negative ZoneGolden2024-11-01 | Super Smash Bros. Brawl has a couple of strange Final Smashes, but none are as stranger as Luigi's. His Final Smash, Negative Zone, is bizarre in itself with it inflicting random effects onto an opponent, but lying beneath this disturbing move, is a deeper meaning that relates to Luigi himself during the early days up until Brawl. This is the Hidden Meaning Behind Negative Zone.The Interesting Analysis Of Meta CrystalGolden2024-09-20 | The Super Smash Bros. Series has seen a lot of stages over the years. From returning favorites like Temple, to one time flops like Icicle Mountain. However, there are a few stages in Smash Bros. that are only playable through a specific mode, and one such stage is often the discussion on whether it should reappear in the future, if it even has one. The stage in question? Meta Crystal from Smash 64. This video will aim to analyze everything that it has to offer, from the interesting origins to the Boss associated with it. Amongst all that though, does it even stand a chance to reappear? Let’s discuss that.My Thoughts on the Nintendo Partner Showcase + Indie World DirectGolden2024-08-27 | grrr there's no plants vs zombies announced -10/10.

Whether Casual or Competitive, most stages in Smash are ones that I end up looking forward to just as much as the characters. However, amongst the many that have been in the series, there was one stage that not only looks extremely weird and bizarre, but is also possibly divisive to some extent. Let's sit down and talk about Melee's oddball stage, Poke Floats!

R.I.P. the elusive Golden "Ranking Every MK8D Track" video :quaint:Every Mario Kart Tour Nitro Track RankedGolden2024-06-05 | Mario Kart Tour offered a lot of things that were different from previous entries in the series, and one of those differences happens to be it's own set of nitro courses. Given it's theme of touring all over, the nitro courses in Mario Kart Tour heavily focuses on tracks based in real life cities. From New York, to Vancouver, to even Berlin! It's not all realism, as there are a few tracks that are based on the Mushroom Kingdom proper, ranging from infiltrating a ninja temple to suspending ice cream. With a grand total of 21 courses (merging the different routes from the cities), it's time to conclude this tour and rank them to see which one is the best that Mario Kart Tour has to offer.

The first game may not have aged as well, but I still have my enjoyment of it. One of those factors are the stages within, but among those 16.. some are bound to be better than others.

With the direction my channel is currently going, I’ve had no time or interest in making some of the videos I used to enjoy making. Of course, Golden Archives is one that I intend on finishing, as I have to put a safe place on the videos that I made long ago.
Unlike my past videos, this one was never publicly released. Only the first few minutes of it was ever done (although I vaguely remember taking a shot of a scene with Wario and Waluigi), but I felt like I should upload this unfinished video as part of Golden Archives. As usual, there’s some changes that I gave it to better suit it in the modern world.
CHANGE LOG: - The entire video lacked music, so I added it alongside some sounds.
My overall goal with this is to upload the rest of The Minion Show: Season 3, I already got “Episode 2” ready. It’s only a matter of time when I’ll release it. (Maybe this month, considering it’s a slow month)Every Mario Kart Tour Retro Track RankedGolden2023-12-25 | With Mario Kart Tour ending it's support for new content on October 3rd 2023, I figured I would rank every single Retro Course added to Mario Kart Tour. From unchanged courses like 3DS Toad Circuit, to massive overhauls like GBA Lakeside Park, It's time to determine which course I consider to be the best of the very best that this mobile game has to offer. There may even be a few hot takes present too, but don't take my word for it!
This will be my final video for 2023. Thank you all so much for sticking by throughout the year, even if I'm not consistent with my uploads. I really do appreciate it. Have a Merry Christmas (or a good day), and a Happy New Year!

My Discord (Mineral Village): discord.gg/x9tW6ZPEBHMahi Mahi Resort: From Ruined to ReworkedGolden2023-10-20 | Recently, Nintendo has not only announced Splatoween, but also a change to Mahi Mahi Resort that might be for the better. The map is notorious in Splatoon 3 for being simplified compared to it's first iteration. Now that the update dropped, is Mahi Mahi Resort at least decent at best? Is it worse than before? Let's find out!Battle Mode : Mario Kart Tours WASTED PotentialGolden2023-10-13 | in 2022, alongside an update that would change Mario kart Tour forever, Nintendo also added Battle Mode to the game starting with the titular "Battle Tour". What seemed like a promising start very quickly spiraled into one of the most wasted modes in the game. Considering that Battle Tour is the first to recycle a Tour, I'd figured it's time to take a look back at Battle Mode a year later and see just how little Nintendo cared about it in this game.
