I'm about 8 hours in, and this game is SO GOOD! I've really been enjoying it. I'm about to unlock the first Great Lighthouse. I'm really enjoying this comeback of Mario RPGs. # Lushgreen Sea ## Rock Island ## Great Lighthouse Island This is a pretty cool dungeon. Most of the maps so far have been pretty linear, with maybe 1 or 2 branching paths. The Luigi bot is really interesting. Works better than I would have hoped. THO, I could use less animations on the Luigi logic stuff. I get it. ### Gobblick This is the first boss, I'm fighting him. At first I thought his name was garrlick. But it looks more like a venus fly trap than garlic. Alright that wasn't difficult but it was fun. The graphics on this game are real good. # Color-Ful Sea Oh wow so they really are just pulling along all the islands with the ship LOL. ## Lottacoins Island This place is funny, looks like a city with tall buildings and shit. Gate Code: ? - 3 - ? - 7 The third number is probably 8, based on the note I found. Still don't know what the first number is. It was 5 3 8 7 There's another code thing to open the gate where Peach is being held, and on a bridge I saw 6491 but it didn't activate the gate. Curiously there's a Red and Green version of the blocks, not sure what that means. When interacting with those numbers it says "Lottacoins structural column #9" or whatever the number is. Not any clues as to whether it goes to a Mario or Luigi block. Should I just try the same code as before? 5387 didn't work I got close to peach and them and they shared another clue, the first block looks to be related to the number of security cameras and trianges? I counted 6. Second block has a bunch of palm Trees.. numbers 3 and 5? so 8? No, on the palm trees it says, Less than 6, More than 4, so 5. Third block is 6 + 4 - 9 + 1 = 2 Not sure what the fourth block means, but it's a cross with the bottom block highlighted black. it's 9! So, 6 - 5 - 2 - 9 Alright, here goes some Luigi Logic. New ability!! LOL ITS LITERALLY A MORPH BALL! I wish it was faster Okay, boss fight time?? Let's switch to dock. It was a giant bird! MEGA SNAPTOR! That wasn't too bad, even though I never really got down the timing for the bird counters. Still able to make it through the boss fights relatively easily. The Luigi Logic thing took me THREE TRIES to nail it lol. Unfortunate. So the evil guy's plan is basically to use slave labor to create Glohm, probably some type of negative electric energy that they can feed off of. Opposite of Connectar. And it looks like I got all the spritebulbs on Lottacoins? Sweet. ISLAND COMPLETE! New current? I gotta find that Dinkee island for the side quest. ## Allsand Island Holy shit I just got my first Game Over fighting the Bone Sand Sharks, WHAT THE HELL! They literally oneshot both Mario and Luigi! Oh my god my attacks are doing like 1 - 2 damage and they're hitting for 400!! WHAT! I only have 90 HP lol. How the fuck. And literally can't even see how much HP they have. So wild. I guess I really can't fight them without some new weapon or ability. ## Side Quest: Lottacoins More Than One Code Code - 3, next three numbers get larger as you go right - Two of them are less than 5. - The total is 23 I have another code. It's not 3+5+6+9 **=>** 23 Maybe 3+4+7+9 **=>** 23 3, next three numbers get larger as you go right If you enter a second code. These people are really dumb lol. LOL luigi admitted to being a spy omg. Two of them are less than 5. I still don't know how I'm supposed to interact with those glowing gates on Rumbla Island. # Great Lighthouse Island YO THEY'RE JUST LETTING THESE KIDS KILL THEMSELVES?? WHAT THE HELL. That was the wildest sequennce I've ever seen in a mario game wtfff. Lol they're still alive, of course. they're bodies are harder than steel. # BRRNING SEA ## Bitsi Islet The lady here says I need to come back when I learn to move faster. This must be related to the ramps that I saw in the Allsand Island. ## Bulbfish Island Luigi is getting better at the cannon landings, haha. The vibe here is very dark, music is chill af I love it. Looks like there are some people here afflicted with Glohm. lol @ Chilliam and Burnadette. They're a prince and princess. It's a Romeo & Juliet story. The Underground has REALLY good music! Feels like Pyrite Town from Pokemon Colosseum. ## Skorcheen Island The Chief is the best! He's my favorite character design in this game so far. THIS GAME HAS BOMB FLOWERS TOO!? I love it. # Gulchrock Sea Looks like I stopped taking notes a while before I'm at now aaaaaand I have no idea how to continue lol. It says Link the Separated Islands on the Main Story log, for Twistee island and Heatfreeze island, but I don't see them on the map and I can't teleport to them so wtf? ## Paquette Islet I came here and I can't get past the fence. Some old dude here says there's another island that has pipes that connect to these BOO. ## Meeger Islet Found another one with the same problem, but I got some beans and a High Heal Boots DX. Eh ## Mynor Islet This might be the islet that connects the other two. Mynor Right: Paquette > Middle: Nanoh Islet. > Bottom: Meeger Islet - No idea where this one is. Right > Mynor Well that was very unproductive but I have no idea what I was supposed to get here. Except for the beans. ## Link The Separated Islands HOLY SHIT I finally found Heatfreeze Island lol. I did just need to sail around. Oh shit, I'm about to get the power of fire and ice! I got it, it's lovely. I connected the heatfreeze island so gotta find the other missing one. # Thoughts This game is low key a metroidvania. I love backtracking! And seeing how things changed. It is so stupid and annoying that I can't look at the entire map of a multi-floor dungeon at once! what the hell. I can *only* see the current floor I'm on. Wild. That's not very metroid vania of you.
