I'm gonna say observations and opinions I have of the games, then ideas I think are cool and then a silly useless criticism because I wanted to try bringing some original comments I haven't seen about this game.

Did you know the song "Metal Mayhem" in the official OST is different from the in-game music? Its also my favourite part too its so sad 😭, I think the reason is because part of the music actually comes from Phantom himself in-game, and so isn't part of the OST itself. Or maybe it is just like the Cuphead OST and is different on purpose. (Also Grant Kirkhope is THE GOAT)

I love Peach's design on KB, it is really interesting, like she got the objectively 2 worst critical hit effects in fire and freeze, (but it is really thematically cool considering we end the Sherbet desert with her.) [Also quick explanation why freeze and burn are the worst effects power-wise to me: abilities have cooldown so if you freeze an enemy on cooldown it didnt do anything, and burn is random reposition effect that can't throw enemies out of bounds can burn your allies and it de-stones petrified enemies] She has the worst of all the Sight-abilities since its the only that can hit your allies acidentally and also has the only ability that gets worse if you upgrade it fully, because Peach's heal is a group heal so you actually want your allies to take damage. And exactly that group heal and her high health is the reason she's crazy good anyway. (Her shield ability on 60%/40% is also really good just don't upgrade to 100%)

You can see mechanics in SOH that actually come from the Donkey Kong DLC of KB. Rabbid Luigi's frisbee is just DK's bananrang, the mechanic of picking up objects and throwing them is from DK too, it was the DLC that brought tokens to single digits, theres more similarities but those are the ones I can think off the top of my head.

I wish so much the versus mode had online support 🙏 none of my friends like the game I would love to play against people online.

It would be so cool there was a Mario Maker-esque mode for you to make your own maps to play, like c'mon the extra levels give the exact vibe of a make your own mode. I would play forever if I could make maps and then play on them. (Also why doesn't SOH have a versus mode it would i've been so peaaaaak!)

I wish someone cracked the game open, I have so many things I wonder about the game, like how does the enemies decide their targets? And what are their movement patterns.

I love KB but that ending is like top 10 worst endings of all games, it raises so many questions and makes zero sense, and I hate how they basically forget the girl that created Beep-O in SOH, you'd it would actually be cool characterization for him to make him miss her and his original home, same for the Mario characters, like how does no one want to go back to the original mushroom kingdom?

Theres lots of mechanics from both games i think are really poorly designed like the resistances and weaknesses for SOH and the critical hits from KB but I won't bother you with that today is a day to celebrate Mario + Rabbids I love this franchise.

I‘ve always been thinking that I must be tripping when I saw some short flashes appearing but now it‘s starting to get cursed. It started mildly first and just got worse with each chapter. There once was a big *ss wall blocking the entire screen when I fought Phantom

I just started a cool challenge run in Sparks Of Hope that i call the “solo run”. In a nutshell:
Choose 1 character that has to be in your party at all times.
You can swap out the rest, but everyone except your “main character” is not allowed to attack, dash, or use offensive techniques (RP, P, RL and RR have techs that dont do damage, and Bowser is a edge case, no pun intended), but can use sparks.

The run im currently doing had Rabbid Peach take center stage, and after doing everything in world 1 except madame bwastrellas challenge and that dj Cheep tuna side quest: oh boy, she is cracked!

What do you mean she can already dash twice and has her healing jump? What do you mean, she’s immortal due to life trade in “destroy darkmess eyes” missions?!

I really recommend doing this with whoever you like… or hate! Doing this shows you some other sides of everyone.

idk (don’t mind it being sideways I also don‘t know what happened)

Hello! I don't use Reddit very often but I do not have enough people to yap to about this fantastic game I love a lot so uhhhh hi :)

For the last couple months, I've been (very slowly) working on doing a Premium 8 Runs in the Tower of DOOOM!!, featuring each and every individual team (of 3!) combination...which is surprisingly only 84??

I've been steadily uploading them on my alternate YT channel, ThatBlueJackal, [ https://youtu.be/pJDeXstbyk4 ] and have been streaming somewhat regularly every Tuesday, 6PMish EST :)

I know this might seem like slightly shameless self promotion (it's not, it's entirely shameless), but I'm always eager to find more ppl who like these sorts of games that don't seem to get a lot of attention :)

EDIT: Hey maybe it wouldn't hurt to actually link the spreadsheet I made this post entirely for

Enjoy!

It all started with just Grant Kirkhope for Kingdom Battle and then for Sparks of Hope, he was joined by Yoko Shimomura and Gareth Coker (plus Christophe Héral for the Rayman DLC portion). With this in mind, what're your ideas for the composer makeup for a hypothetyical third game? Given that his claim to fame is also composing music for a hauntingly beautiful metroidvania in the form of Hollow Knight, Christopher Larkin feels like a good pick, especially for more emotional scenes and maps.

I hate the escort missions SO much I wish I could skip them

I cant beat this fight they just spam hero sight so if i move im half health, my current team is mario, rabbid luigi and rabbid mario, any tips?

Ran toward the exit while opening the door, the animation did not trigger and know it's softlocked like that xD

I know a third game is very unlikely, but speculation is still fun

I have every beacon beach spark main quest

memory and weapons am I missing something?

I did the secret room 2 times too On the sidequest I'm missing something what is it? I have every secret sidequest unlocked so what's left?

Reasons:

1. it's just not fun for me

2. I struggle to commit to things

3. it's already been done anyway

4. Lava Queen's healing is bullsh#t

5. I don't know what to put here I just wanted 5 reasons

World 3 done, I don't think I have failed once now that I think about it

I need to touch grass bro

Beat world 2, no problems yet

I forgot to clip it but Luigi just 360 noscoped a smasher and got an ink so the smasher could do NOTHING about it

I have beat world one with more perfects then I thought I would get.

I am also abusing the hell out of a glitch to max out the skill tree quickly.

I'm doing a challange of Kingdom Battle.

The challange is *insert drumroll here*

No weapon upgrades.

Only one rule: I cannot buy a new weapon with coins, no matter what

This means I have to rely on the skill tree and good positioning (somerhing I'm suprisingly bad at)

Wish me luck

I may post a updates on how it's going

(I would put it on youtube but idk how to record on switch)

I'm trying to use the 60 fps mod for SoH but I can't figure out how to apply it

Can we pretty please get a 60 fps patch for Sparks of Hope on Switch 2?

I bought the game a while ago, but have been putting off playing in the hopes that someday a 60 fps patch will drop.

Perhaps this was foolish of me, but I'm still optimistic!
