The various Marisa titles created by Double Cluster have been fairly memetic in the Touhou fandom since their creation. As I already did a Let's Play of Mega Mari, I figured that it would be interesting to return to the even more difficult Super Marisa World, which is full of Super Mario references in its bosses.
However, I still have PTSD from playing through the game years ago, so I convinced three members of the Bakashop Quartet to do a blind race of the game with some assistance from me.
Will there be a winner? Or will there just be survivors?
Or will there be any survivors?

![SMZ3 1/4/26 Chaos Race [8] - Lucariot Below!
Our first SMZ3 chaos race in a good while courtesy of Yosh calling for one at the start of the year, so we can put the blame entirely on him.
Except for the fact that I managed to roll crap seeds for all five of us.
Surely, we are cursed.

![Lufia & the Fortress of Doom Restored [16] - The Jenoba Project
Yeah, it turns out we cant get through the Lost Forest without help (or possibly knowing the way through in advance) ahead of time, so we retreat for now and find a guide in the form of the party member we should have allowed to join to begin with!
With Jerin in the party, were one town away from locating Artea but, rather than one big dungeon to traverse for our next goal, we have three towers to climb and one big puzzle to solve! So, after a bit of information gathering, we get ready to climb.

![Castle of Shikigami III [41] - Fumiko + Gennojo
Rent.
The only word that Fumiko needs in order to bring Gennojo to heel in order to do her dirty work for her. This is what you get for trying to solve an incident with your landlady and the poor guy just cant catch a break.
Gameplay-wise this is a tough pairing as they share the same weakness for dealing with regular enemies, but cover for each other in other ways with Fumikos bomb and Gennojos shikigami attack being the more reliable of each.

![Lufia & the Fortress of Doom Restored [19] - Im Elfread It Was All For Naught
In one of those awkward episodes thats as long as it is because there werent any good split points without making other ones too short, we tackle the next level of the Old Cave for even more goodies and return to the three towers to finish solving the puzzle.
The good news is we finally make it to Elfrea.
The bad news is... well, look at the thumbnail.
Fortunately, we not only get a solid lead on what we have to do next, but also get one of Jerins best weapons in the game for free!
