Wild Matsu | Pocky & Rocky Reshrined 1CC Story Mode Normal @WildMatsu | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
A video of me clearing the Nintendo Switch game Pocky & Rocky Reshrined (known in Japan as 奇々怪界：黒マントの謎, Kiki Kaikai: Kuro Manto no Nazo), developed and published by Natsume.

I ended up with Ikazuchi as my stage 5 character. It wasn't planned, and I prefer Hotaru, but I was able to clear it regardless.

All in all this was easier than the SNES game, despite being a longer game; it just took me a while to get around to even doing practice and attempts. This game gives you loads of extra lives, whereas in the SNES game I only know of one (hit Zuzu's basket with the gohei after he's defeated.)

There are definitely rough parts of this run. The stage 3 boss went pretty badly because I tried a new strategy involving attack augmentation (throwing mirrors) that didn't work out at all. I almost ran out of time, a thing that's never happened to me in this game!

It's a fun game that I had a lot of fun with. I may try go for a clear in hard mode or free mode after this.
