Picked up enough stars to progress a bit further today. So much further, in fact, that I managed to get the remaining three keys and unlock the entrance to Bowser’s Castle. And met Bowser. Now, I know how to actually beat him (you wind cogs to raise Thwomps which you then drop by hitting a switch and then Bowser falls over and you hit him), it’s just that every so often Bowser jumps up and down, stunning your flippers to …
Have played all the way through World 7 now, none of which was especially hard. There were quite a few auto-scroll sections, which I don’t like, but nothing too taxing. Onto Bowser’s Castle now. I’ve also unlocked another mini-game, and also bought a load more jigsaw pieces. Haven’t got all of the pieces for any puzzle yet though, and it won’t let me buy any more.
Picked up from World 3, Level 2 where I’d previously made it up to. It, like all good (and bad) Mario-derived games has, is a Ghost House type level, so there were Boos and dark bits and stuff. And an irritating pick-a-door puzzle bit on one of the levels. Shockingly (or rather, not), the end of level boss was King Boo. He was pretty easy though, and I killed him first go. World 4 was the obligatory lava world, and …
Been playing off and on for much of the day. Planted a few more trees, sold some fruit, did a bit of fishing, and was visited by three spirits other players. Turnips prices were pretty crap until Stanley from Harrumph declared his branch of Nook’s was buying for 495 bells each. OK, so it wasn’t the 832 I was hoping for locally, but it was certainly better than 121, the best price I’d had so far. This evening, then, I …
Yes. Again. No, I don’t have a problem. Yes, I can quit when I want to. But not just now. Fished some more, then went and visited Rev and JonnyBoy. Nothing new going on in either of the two towns, so came back again and did some more fishing and a few errands.
Well, Pinky came over, said my room was messy as I had stuff all over the floor, and gave me a two-star rating. She commented on my Christmas Tree, and said she’d had a great time and I was the BESTEST PERSON EVER! And we didn’t even go upstairs!
Planted a few more trees and did a bit of fishing. I then went online, and Cossie from Coraland joined me. I watched her use my toilet. It was grate. Gave her some oranges, and she gave me a lilypad table. Then she left. Went over to see Snivitz in Bim. Yes, that is his name and town. I don’t know why. His branch of Nook’s was selling turnips for less than mine was (down to 63 bells now), which …
Played this for about 20 minutes today while I was in a waiting room. I don’t know why, but it looks so much better on the Game Boy Micro than it did when I played it on my SP briefly a few months ago. Anyway. I’ve killed Petey Pirahna, got about 4 stars, and opened up a few cannons. That’s about all though, so far.
72 bells! Nook is a crook, I tell you. I bet him and Joan are having a right giggle at me behind my back. Hate them. Planted a few apple trees and dug up a fossil. Also bought a blue Nintendo bench for 120 bells from Nook, simply because it said “Nintendo” on it.
Stupidly, I had deleted my saved game last time I played this. So I had to start again. Luckily, it didn’t take long to get to the point I was at previously (the end of first world boss). Defeated him, and worked my way through all of World 2. Bought a few power-ups on the way, including the floaty-umbrella one, and some more energy and “emotion bar”. I’ve also done the first level of World 3 too.
Planted loads of trees today, since my “new” fruit trees had started to bear “foreign” fruits. Plenty of cherry and peach trees should now be on the way. Also found a few fossils and sent a message in a bottle. Turnips were selling for 75 bells today, and no-one was online, so I couldn’t even try somewhere else to sell them. Tch.
The Great Globe Trotting Turnip Selling Adventure begins! Firstly, checked at my local Nook’s, to find turnips were bought for 79 bells each. I bought them for 104, so that was no good. Then I onlined my DS up, and visited Red in Lancre. Her Nook’s was shut for remodelling. As was Deckard’s, he said when he turned up to visit. I left Lancre and went to Venture to see Rev. His Nook’s was buying for 70-something bells too, so …
Must… resist… Animal Crossing… addiction.. mounting… Popped over to see “Gerplex” (the artist formally known as Chibi) in Cockland. Yes, really there. Filled with, well, I’m sure you can guess. Took some pears from his trees, and gave cherries in return. Put my filthy design in his Mable and Sable shop, and had a wander round and a chat before returning home.
Gah! It seems I hadn’t won at the fishing – I’d just beaten my personal best! Jitters managed to get a Red Snapper in at 0.5 inches longer than mine in the dying minutes of the tournament. He must die.
