...wait, did I just invent a brand of personal hygiene products?

"Oh, it's just a couple more levels, that's fine. In FACT, I can just try some Ranked along the way, maybe I'll reach promotion threshold without much more difficulty than that!"
... ... ...why must we always repeat the lies we have already told ourselves and been crushed by?
Obviously, the very LAST day of the season, when the next season's major stage design layout overhauls have already gone into effect, is NOT the right time to try to make a big rankings push. But as with every season prior, I will always prioritize literally anything but, even with a fresh new calendar on which to seize the day.
Forget all that, kid. Go get some of those golden eggs. Synergize some paradigms that do NOT revolve around sweaty, fashion-obsessed youth culture. What do you say, fellow "the youth"?
---
I'm going to TRY to be more consistent going forward with a) stream archives (which I have over a hundred of, easily), but also b) actual uniquely not-streamed content (which laughs heartily at how "little" the stream archive backlog has to its name)
...but... um... we'll see? (I sure hope we will, anyway... this habit of generally NOT-seeing has had me massively bummed out for longer than YouTube can actually remember.)

Is trying to crush audio problems with tests that take hours to manifest regardless...
Unfortunately, the thing I tried didnt actually fix the audio issues as hoped... BUT... knowing how to quit around the time theyd start getting severe? ... ... ...why does my computer want me to be healthy and STOP streaming after X number of excessive hours consecutively, huh?
(I also made headway into getting Jeff to stop ruining things for the YouTube audience instead, but Im not entirely sure without any real evidence to establish whatd happen otherwise...)

Decided to take it easy and not kill myself just because the world is ending 5/7ths of the time from here on out. Please understand.
... ... ...wait, i streamed for HOW long with WHAT spices?! ... ... ...maybe shoolk wouldve been way less strenuous for final stream (before drastically reduced frequency) energy after all...
If you NEED the idle chatter blocking up some of the visuals, theres that version as well:

(the gameplay resolution is lower due to streaming allowances and such, though)

Nothing is definitely ever my fault. Except for where golden things are concerned.
Funny, I dont think this has anything to do with weird fanservice art trends?!
To dismiss the golden week aspect, you can always just watch me be bad at game here instead:

The sequel to Hollow Knight is actually Hollow-er Knight?
If you crave a smaller game display area and a more distracting player presence, you can find me over here instead:

(the whole streaming thing made me weigh the options and youll have to settle for a mere SIX TIMES native resolution if you want that kind of extra distraction, though. ;3)

Going on an ape hunt! Gonna find a big one!

Also, whats the deal with playing a Super Game Boy game WITHOUT the parts that ostensibly make it Super and not just Game Boy?
To see this in all its bordered glory:
https://youtu.be/VtVWbN7bs9Y
I promise Ill be DONE talking about the Super Game Boy enhancements specific to this game and this hardware configuration soon enough... but I played it this way SO much that I flat out did not even KNOW for the longest time that the vocalized cries for HELP! at the start of nearly every stage were one such feature.
I mean, in hindsight, yeah, no, that makes sense... it definitely doesnt fit within the tech specs of a Game Boy game. But part of the magic and whimsy of having discovered the bizarre treasure that was the Super Game Boy and its capacity to confer bespoke diffentials from the original capabilities of a games base content... is the part that I hadnt even discovered just how well it was doing its job without my knowing it!
Listen. Kids are stupid. And observation skills and critical thinking come later. Sorry, kids. Youll grow out of it! Into... it? Something! You got this!
At least the lush, but INSANE (and not programmatically scalable with tech of the time) colorization was really eye-catching, so I didnt miss that. Until I was trying to figure out why a Game Boy Color apparently COULDNT manage to figure out how to do the same thing.
A wizard did it. At R&D2. Yep.
In this pre-World demo, we get introduced to... switches!
No! Wait! I swear! Its good! Its not oh, thats totally obvious!
Umm... ... ... Donkey Kong uses switches of a totally unnecessarily different design than the ones Mario uses?
(Its actually quite rare that Mario can even REACH a switch that DK might be using, and not just because theres some big palooka in the way, but this is more of an observation of the visual language of Donkey Kong 1994 than anything actually useful.)
In case it was unclear up to now, theres... like... a LOT of extra lives to be had in this game. Bonus stages. Time bonuses! Every four stages, the combined remaining timer values for stage clears all get added together, and you get a 1up for every 100 counts left over! Even the excess extras after that is an extra life!
Collecting all of Paulines dropped accessories (hats and handbags are one thing, but how many parasols does she ACTUALLY need?!) also gets you a free play of either a slot machine or a wheel of extra lives. Sure, its usually one life per visit, and Im REALLY bad at slot machines, but it all adds up! Mario is basically immortal! ... ... ...he better be, with how easy it is to utterly destroy his flimsy body.
Forest, 2-1
You may also quickly notice... this game has an absolutely absurd variety of enemies. Sure, most of them end up funcitonally identical in many ways and are just a snazzy coat of paint, like... two sprites at most each time. Its a small detail, but also simultaneously an abundant one, serving to make the overall flavor of an otherwise gentle curve of simple gameplay very gradually ramping up can always feel fresh.
Forest, 2-2
See? You didnt know all there was to know about switches from just that one little demo segment! They dont just control platforms in a slightly different fashion from those ladder and bridge pickups! They can control the movement of elevator platforms! They can even have more than two states!
Forest, 2-3
Two helpful notes here that dont really get shown off... you can actually safely crouch under the plants projectiles, but only when youre not holding something in your hands.
The other thing is that because the ladder pickup is so close to where Mario starts and the path to the door only shutters off once gameplay begins... you can actually block that shutter with the temporary ladder occupying that space, even after the ladder disappears.
These kinds of quirks in object interactions are critical to later stages in the game, but its more of a quirky footnote in this one.
Forest, 2-4
In a DK stage thats NOT the capstone of the whole themed world, youll tend to just need to reach Donkey Kong to scare him into running away, much like the three stages leading up to 100m in the original arcade progression.
In this case, its a recreation of the original stage layout for Donkey Kong Jr.!
... ... ...so... a reverse-reversal!")
