My 15th and final precision crew level. I wanted it to be pretty easy, but that failed. Lowering the timer everytime I died in the last section probably didn't help either, but whatever, not many people will play this anyway, because it has 3 buffer jumps and 2 line ups. No, I'm not leaving precision crew, I just won't create new levels for it. Yes, I know the slider music from Mario 64 gets a lot of hate because it's so overused.

In case there's people that don't know, I'll explain the title. Joycon Boyz is a meme that spawned from Etika's community. Etika was a great streamer known for his reactions to anything he watched, most notably Nintendo directs, and he was a great person in general. He was also known outside of gaming communities though, sometimes I see One Piece youtubers wearing his merch, which is a nice surprise. Speaking of One Piece, chapter 1000... Aaah! Anyway, unfortunately Etika passed away in June 2019, so I thought about uploading this level in June 2021, but I'm not sure if I'll still be posting videos by then.

I usually plan level releases a few months in advance so that the creation process won't be as long as when I sit down in editor with nothing in mind. After I uploaded my "birthday level", I decided what my final precision crew levels would be, aside from the poké-precision. One was of course, the Ninja tweet, and my other idea was to make pixel art precision of the Joycon Boyz logo as "celebration" for having used joycons for a year. I got a new controller about a month ago, but I still wanted to make this. Then I remembered when someone said that they play with a pro controller, except when they clear check levels, where they use joycons to make sure people who don't have any other controllers won't struggle. And I felt inspired to do the same. It's a bit late to start doing that, cause I uploaded all of my 2019 levels with a different controller, but I have gone back to them and cleared them with joycons. As for my 2020 levels, I had no choice, joycons were the only thing I had for most of the year. That means they should be free clears for basically anyone.

Didn't mean to go off on a tangent, so as I was saying earlier, my original plan was to make pixel art precision of the Joycon Boyz logo. Then I realized that would have been just another word precision all over again, just like my 5 most recent levels. And since I knew that this would be my final crew level I wanted it to be something more unique, and I landed on power up precision, it's definitely not something I or anyone does too much of. Even with the power ups that were added to the game in april, I never felt inspired to use them.

The SMB2 section is lazy, but whenever I use that power up I can't think of anything, and even this took a long time to come up with somehow, luckily I thought to add a jump to it a few minutes before I cleared the level. The Link section is definitely the hardest part, I'm not sure why I made it like this when my plan was to make this an easy level, but at least it looks cool. The boot section was mainly added cause I still feel a little weird about deleting my first level, which was just this but for 35 seconds and upside down. The superball section is where I decided to ruin the level by adding 2 line ups, not many ideas for this power up. And finally the big boy section, this killed me way more than it should have in attempts, the icicles always destroyed me, unless I was practicing in editor. In the original ending the note block wasn't on a track, so the p-switch was bouncing the whole time, meaning you had to awkwardly time destroying the block or get lucky. So the change was more of a cleanse than a nerf.

Looking back at my profile, the last 2 months seem like a repeat of 2019. Poké-Precision in November, and a power up level with practice sections in December. The difficulty happens to be pretty similar too, both levels have a 70s timer and both were uploaded 10 minutes past midnight of their respective day (in my time zone). And none of that was intentional, but I'll pretend that it was, cause why not? Finishing 2020 with 20 levels uploaded was intentional though.

I ran out of space in the description of my previous video so I couldn't mention this, but yes, I got a new capture card, one capable of recording at 60fps. Not every future video will be 60fps though, as I still have some unreleased videos that were recorded before I got my new capture card. My old one lasted me nearly 4 years, so I hope this new one lasts at least that long as well.
