Okay, Game Start. Should be "Start Game", but never mind.
No, I don't want to play with you.
Okay! Here we go! Planet
butter Flora!
Okay, so here's Ristar. He's awfully small for a star, and he should kind of be white hot, but I'll overlook this one.
What the BLARGH? Why are you moving so slow? I thought shooting stars were meant to be like, "FUUUUUUUUUUCK I'M HURTLING THROUGH SPACE AT 6000000 MPH FUUUUUUUUUCK!!!"
Let's try attacking. Is it B?
WHAT. THE. BLARGH. Who does this star think he is, Stretch Armstrong?
So he attacks by headbutting stuff? Yeah, let's see how strong he is after he's done that a couple of times and dented his skull, causing blood to drip out of his ear. Except he doesn't have ears. Or a nose. Or a penis. Poor, inadequete Ristar...
So, after whacking the B button a few times, I find out that this mask-wearing testicle uses his arms to hold stuff too. Makes sense, I suppose. But how the BLARGH is he holding onto the ladder without using his feet? His arms should have been ripped out of their sockets by now.
BLARGH you, rabbit. BLARGH you.
Okay, so how do I get past this tree? In most platform games, you can just walk in front of trees like this. Am I the only one that notices the huge irony in this? Ristar, the object that should have fried the whole bloody planet by now is stopped by an oddly layered tree. Yet another reason this game never caught on.
Oh, so you just use your magic hands to get past. All this strength his hands... Makes you wonder what he does at night...
Oh, yeah. Forget that, then.
Moving swiftly along...
Okay, so why's the arrow pointing in the hole? Is it yet another sexual innuendo? I hope so. Well, it's too small to walk in, so...
Right, what's going on here then? What kind of plant is this? Dandelion? Well, the laws of physics are ignored in this game anyway, so they might as well be great SMASHINGLY dandelions.
I hope Ristar doesn't have hay fever. Can stars even get hay fever?
Swing, SWING! Why is this not affecting the route of the dandelion seed?
Hey, isn't this the special stage thing from Sonic Rush?
No, not good enough. Spin faster!
BLARGH.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!! O CRAP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP...
Anyway...
Gah, it's the stone snake from Sonic Adventure! KILL IT DEAD.
That was... too easy. All I had to do was face-bash it a few times. And why do all old-school video game bosses explode when they die? Talk about a cliché.
Oh, not one of these things again.
More shoulder-wrenching fun will ensue...
...Next time.
