Another versus battle event in the main super Nintendo entertainment system mini turbo tournament quarterfinal match up We've got a big name you've got super metroid personal favorite personal favorite mine and Donkey Kong country the fan favorite fan They've been rooting for the old Donkey Kongs. Yeah, I'll be reading on the old fucking Socials and that meaners and where I'm sitting. Yeah, well over the Instagram. Oh, yeah, I'm over the grammar Come this don't become that so this I thought this obviously in the last episode It was a street by versus cast of a new not a big deal.
Really. You know, I mean, it's just just a never-for-how it's gonna be Whereas this this is I know what you're coming from I know We're doing this is I think it's just a lot of people this game because you've got two very good polished platformers yet Great both of them you can pick up and play one's probably a little bit more kind of suede and older in order to play it when you're eight But I think you'd enjoy more of your 13. Oh, yeah, where is don't come again You can enjoy even one but you can still get through the first few levels as a as a eight-year-old Metroid you probably your ass and soon as you go down in the bad guys cycle Yeah, yeah, I mean, because they're both for me You can hundred percent a minute you got like the collectable shit you need to get where we'll be fucking your name and fucking bananas Or the bombs and missiles, but yeah, I think don't like Donkey Kong is easier to just get from the start of the level to the end of the level Regardless the collecting stuff like you could do that. Yes, where's met or you still got a it's still You got to get involved to actually get from a to be in it.
So yeah Let's we'll kind of run through the standard procedure here Make is we got to pay respect to both games in this situation big time match it is We'll go for a game play straightaway stop on the list really hard I'd say to come kind of compare it to because Donkey Kong is a more polished game obviously late again It's a more polished game and the the actions, you know, doing a cartwheel jumps and that stuff It was it kind of was yeah, they could move the platform is on a different level sort of thing in terms of like a double jump Sort of deal or I mean, yeah Yeah, just you utilizing your moveset to kind of get over bigger gaps and little things like that rather than just bring it in like Mario It was kind of like the triple jump before a triple jump of a oh, yeah Starting that feature in Super Mario World No, that's 64 that's 64 because you're still just caping it when it's Yeah, 64 was just a single jump or like if you got a cake or something You'll run into your fly in it seems like with a tail free Yeah, so they so they brought that into the platform is when it came on to the Wii U and everything because you could do the Triple jump on as a lot of this Super Mario Wii U brothers, whoever it was, you know Yeah, but talking about the cartwheels and rolling polies of Donkey Kong and did it all respectively So moves had did after double jump is and did have the sprints and did have kind of like your own movesets as well to get you through So they'll almost functional things like you said in a previous episode you get them then you move on You know, yeah, you didn't need to do that Don't you come you didn't know you didn't have to build up your efforts while you just had them So it's an easy kind of in yeah, yeah, you know Again, something was like the A to B, weren't it? I mean it was a cell pin single like little levels Right that map. Let's go this level. We had to go that level.
So yeah, you was gonna need to be where I'm a metchoid Yeah, you're go back to start to pick someone up. Yes, please. I can punish any Yeah, you're a whole place you got to get stuff from And play for me. Yeah, you're you're fire area and you got your ice area you're under water a bit classic shit It's a good bad guys good bad guys just sanding k-rule He was hard when you first back now he's he's he's too easy for me.
I'm jumping I'm ready for those cannibals. I know exactly where they're coming. He's moved here. I say we did he conked Oh, yeah, he's a bit too sluggish for me.
I prefer don't you boy? Yeah, but don't you normally because you might get hit, you know, I mean you might get you was crying when you've been too cocky Just doing some little spots or whatever. You're in a couple of couples you shouldn't be He gets showboating. Don't he comes in gets a victory.
No, yeah, don't come and take it home for you When you get to take it fucking over. Yeah big banana for that guy with a Nintendo stick But a mixture of just classic, you know, like you're playing alien, you know something like that What you're expecting to be in these worlds they kind of got I think they just nailed it yeah weird Little kind of slightly motherfuckers, you know the ones that just kind of like just getting away when you're trying to get up like a Oh, yeah, you know a little chart. Yeah, and it's just those little fucking so just just just just hitting there So someone like they just like just attached to the platform. Yeah, so go round like a little like a little orange fire Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I like those things just just in the way just in the way.
Yeah, then you fall away down Then you make sure you shoot it before and then it's like that's it's yeah Why did you get that spin jump just spin jump into fuck off? Yeah fuck off fuck off, but it takes time to get that You don't get that straight. Yeah, I'm gonna start. Yeah, you go back to purposely just a kill them But yeah, again, it's hard.
I think it's hard to split these two both. I would say both almost five star on game like oh, yeah Yeah, they're just they're just whatever they even a trick is on fucking Metroid, mate You know that's a big deal. Yeah, you double Yeah, boys. Yes.
That's a big. I think that's huge in game like yeah, no one's doing that sort of stuff I mean, don't come didn't I don't think they are buttons didn't they make up my tag as well? I think if you press so read it tagged to Diddy or Donkey, but maybe You're tagging play me to person Yeah, so show me could just jump around together as that would have been good. Yeah, true co-op like yeah Both on the screen together.
It was like six mates. So we can do yeah We need to be clear. Is that no six? It'd be around there.
Yeah, yeah, something like that. No, no four. Yeah Yeah, but yeah cuz six is you get in 64 world there, and that's that's coming soon. Yeah, well, that's right No, just a very real game.
Yeah, just do it anyway Yeah, so let's move on to the music mate again another another odd one because Donkey Kong had some bangers and real bangers And we always talk about it. I think Metro is one of the only games It's got the score that just keeps you in the world You don't need a theme tune mate when you're well, you know, you know You know, we're going into a new world and it's pretty hot in there I've just broken down the door with a big plastic going in there, and it's hot as fuck I need that's this They need a theme tune. I want you. I'll need some essence.
Yeah, I need some aura I need energy and that's it just it's I don't know all of them work every there's not one bit like part like you know What are the worlds that you go into? Not one of them kind of you go like that Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do fucking like in like underwater Yes, I mean, yeah, I certainly like I said before so many times about how like when you play Metro in the music they got in there Or the score that must be wave on it just you just sucked in any or just literally there being Sam's Scared you don't know it's pretty desolate the minute music free. It's like a pretty stripped-down sort of score to it as well It's very like minimalistic time like there's not loads of like blips and bumps into that It's very much a fruit in the background. Yeah, yeah So yeah, I do like the fucking metal ones if you're going to play just a fucking chill out to just like fucking yeah Not a chiller don't come on the water level me now.
I mean that's talk to you. That's everyone's fuck. That's five I think that fucking the dunk on the water one that goes out of documentaries and shit made by many That's used now and like all the memes and when people are doing like the you know sharing videos with The sound apparently the soundtrack everyone uses you know like there's videos It's like there's like 20 tunes that everyone uses now when you're posting it Yeah, depending on what there we get it's but it's time didn't it? No underwater tune like they turn up what I was like Don't use that like that's my thing Stop using the kids on the bus.
Yeah, you play Donkey Kong. What's a Donkey Kong? What the fuck? We listened to that tik tots.
Yeah, that's only really low as mate. You're old. You're old. You're old.
You're old. You're nostalgic now literally got nothing going on the part from fucking The stage is the best they make it's the best. Yeah, it only works there with reading this down to about it if you're just fucking putting out music going to fucking tik tots because you think it's a cool tik tots on with someone else's fucking pro on their tik tots. You're a sheep mate.
You are a sheep. Moving on to graphics we're kind of touching on it but I suppose you can go in there. Donkey Kong was I'd say a slightly superior to Metroid. I had like a I know five five extra years and I did it was rare as well when it rare putting all the fucking effort behind You had to feed me.
I mean I did have to feed it. I mean Donkey is like the start of like the 2.5 I mean the bananas were spinning. They were like the fucking son of his fucking I've been a beefy shit. Kincai will mate.
How sweet did he look? You know I suppose the cannon the the cannonballs didn't look that great when they dropped it. They weren't as good as him. They didn't quite get there flat looking when they didn't quite get there.
They weren't quite get there. They weren't the big banana balls that was a bit flat. Not like old gnarly the gopher and Nicky bird. So don't say it's more like five against the ball there.
Just a bit like you said. I think I went Metro. He would have done what it added. It's disposable on his hands.
Pull some lovely graphics out there. And just imagine what it would have looked like. I mean I I think it could have ruined it because you wanted to look like it does. If it were to come out in night like ball whenever Donkey Kong came out it would have looked pretty fucking slick.
Just imagine Sheen on the the Sheen on the helmet and everything. Just imagine that. It would have been a I mean it'd be nice to see him maybe remake it. You know what I mean?
It's actually Dread is the newest one which is again I guess it's what I call 2.5. It's a side scroller but the characters are like like don't go 3D like don't come type of thing. And that looks pretty sweet. It's got a pucksley shit in the background just moving.
Yeah pucksley shit in the background moving yeah but yeah I mean the graphic yeah so it would be no that's what you see. Grappley wise. Yeah well go check out. Yeah go check out.
Where can people get mate Nintendo? Sure. Nintendo. Or you should buy imagine.
Steaming shit. Steaming shit. Steaming shit in the end. No not steaming.
I forget what steaming is it. That's anything but Nintendo. Oh they're not putting their shit on there. Nah because they don't you can't pay Nintendo anything pop on Nintendo can't you see him getting it on the east door or sex probably.
Get in sex. Yeah. Yeah pick up. Go pick up.
Go go go go go go. Let's move on to sales. We know we know off the top of our head I think Donkey was pretty high up. Donkey come because that was like a Chris came out like they marketed it and they got it out at the right time.
So I'm pretty sure that was on everyone's fucking Chris's list in I think I got it. In 1990 whatever it was. Yeah I think I got it at the Christmas. Yeah I imagine it was my birthday.
I think it was like number one like on the crew I'm sure because I was like on the games masters when it was on the fucking Nintendo powers so I know it was a massive selling one. Yeah I think I got nine million at the top of my head something like that and I think Metro was more I mean it's just how it is. You got it on my go make you're gonna sell tickets and yes your salary goes Mario gets a 20s done in Mario Kart gets probably 15 whatever it was. Yeah I can't drop today.
It's super Mario Kart. But he's got a car because I'm not running around and holding a cape and yeah he's using a car man. Yeah he's using a car man. No in a car really is it?
Like a no car. So and the stability strong on both sides obviously you're more of a Metroid. For me I had Donkey Kong so I probably slightly swayed to it but you had Super Metroid and I played any time I'd run around with neither you know you could have a goal in this and you start blowing the cartridge mate. Metroid's one of the ones I'm gonna blow so it's not like you if if castes a thing is there and getting a blow but if and Toni Tunes and Lion King might have a goal in the first level but if you click Metroid in you're open you're gonna be there for a few hours you know what I mean you're open.
Am I staying tonight? I'm like staying around I'm like staying around around so just to see what happens and get four hours in beautiful. That's how to play just because you want to earn you want to that's the good thing about Metroid though that you want to lock a Mega Man sort of deal but he's got a bit more she's got a bit more agility than it is. Yeah you want to earn the right to kind of get the suits and get through if you get to that point where you've got to run over like a stepping stone sort of thing like Mario.
Oh yeah. What the fuck do I do? what do I do? Yeah that speed suit thing whatever you just blast through it mate.
When you have to like when you first get a speed suit as well and then you fall down a hole and then you have to see that little fucking green birdie and you're like oh fuck when I'm getting back on there and he's like what's this? Yes. There's a couple of bits in there where there's another bit where there's an energy like an energy pod you walk over to get it and you fall down a hole and then you have to learn how to do the fucking wall jump off them little cunts. That was fucking before all you get like the actual spin jump and you have to do the wall jumps the wall jumps it's hard.
It's probably a bit too hard if I'm going to be pretty honest but then again that does make it a high kind of a game that only high color again is played so it's kind of a make it happen a league game just by saying like well if you can't do this and you can't do it that's what I feel like Street Fighter. But yeah if you can't do it that's fine you just can't just count. It's like you know it's not for you. It's not for you you might have put it down and give up.
It's not for you. Yeah get Castlevania right. It's fine. Get to 19th of the bench.
Yeah that would be a bit. But yes I mean I love Donkey Kong as well I don't get the wrong that I'd like fucking strong memories of that again because I think everyone had it so you need to take that game with you if you go to someone's house because they would have it in their house. You must have it. And it was a two player was it really two players?
It was two players you could technically do two players. Yeah someone died you gotta go. They felt like slapping you around you gotta go. So there was that so you could play it together.
It gives you the illusion that you could play it as a two player. Yeah you can play with hold of controllers. Yeah in a vein. I'm gonna die.
I'm not dying. So yeah but for me I always I've spoke about Metro before and it's always going to be met with me just for the reasons people see this yesterday. Yeah you know going through them it's this is this is hard again Apple's Orange's sort of deal because they aren't they're not the same game they're very very they're platformers but that's kind of it you know they're very very different even the speed of the movement of the games very different you know like I'd say Metro is a much more accurate platformer where you're talking like there is accuracy involved me don't get wrong but the platforms are wider you don't get into I know you got the snow level with the cannons which is you know that's fun yeah that's hard that's hard shit and poison pond all that sort of really wonder if I can mine cast they get progressive harder than me. Yeah but I'm the king of them and they're not even hard for me.
I used to do a co-op did a co-op with someone like that and I crashed which is very rare but if I did I knew I'm watching waiting for them they're not gonna wait because there's a crocodile or whatever at the end it just comes out at the end they're not gonna play ready for it they're not ready for it. What's the fucking coconut? If you laugh you just turn off and send them home. Yeah going over there we're not playing that.
Can we not play that? No that's ending now you're gonna go in there mate fuck off. I would take their controller out as well just as a simple you know just move to say you don't get to play this and then kick them out. Yeah take it out first.
Yeah just anyway. I'll wrap the wire up as well put it in my toy drawer just move my my toy terrace area top of something my megazord just out of the way you drop it in there push it in and then just open it door just wait. Do you want any toast? Yeah I do.
You got any milk you made? Spread. Sounds about right mate. Yeah that's fair.
If you completely get me. It's fine. That's fine you know if you stay in the car that's fine don't worry about it but if you can't. That's it.
I mean really what you should do top tip for you is there's a little what would you call a cannon right at the start of the level to send you to the end of the loop. So if you jump over that first barrel right down the wall straight into it pops you down. I think you've got to jump over the last crocodile maybe maybe and that's it. You do it.
Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh. Look dance to a complete level on your go. Easy. Over the temples didn't have to that mate.
The temples it's a big big blue oboys that you did he can't kill he jumps on a roof. Oh fuck yeah yeah yeah. Big blue roided crocodiles or something something sort of piece. Some sort of subspecies of quits yeah.
But yeah so really I think really close battle. I'm gonna have to concede obviously your favorite game mate. Don't come up with my favorite game be a harder call. Yeah.
But kind of looking even from the outside looking in and looking at it. I can kind of see because Metro's a harder game that's why I'll give it more credit. I really respect games that like if someone's kicking ass at Mega Man you do respect them as a gamer. And you know you pick a Mega Man now mate we're shit ain't we?
Fuck. Yeah I was gonna be selling them mate. Yeah I used to be always charging. Yeah I think you're on the fucking charge.
Yeah and using the third to get the cash in there. Yeah yeah. Now I was charging jumping and that. See what's going on.
Yeah my fucking dexterity in my firm no I used to have. He tried to make it try because. Yeah so I would give that's why I'm kind of sending I'm voting for a Metro to go through. Just just for that kind of you know they're pretty close but there's a legit gamer.
Saying your game is like saying because I'm pretty decent Donkey Kong and I'm a good platformer but I think it's easier to be good at Donkey Kong than it is to be good. I'm not particularly great about it. Because you've got to pay you know you've got to be using that. You know you've got to play in a game every day mate.
Like you did coming from school try and complete it. That's how you get good at a game. You know like for me you're a street buyer. You've got to get through them.
Yeah exactly. Go get through them and then check you know then go to Ken. Try and get through them and then try and do it as that was going to get beaten up by a guy like the first round. Yeah and then give up.
Yeah and then give up and then go back to Mario and slap him again. Or just end by sitting just like a question. Yeah yeah. Yeah so I just that's why I think you'd agree with me.
It is a harder game. Yeah yeah. It's not a big thing. But like you said right at the beginning Donkey Kong was...
I mean it was done so anyone could pick up it. It was a family. It was brought out as a family fun game. You fucking nanny could play it and you fucking little brother could play it and you fucking little brother could play it.
Whereas Metroid is like it's a bit more of an intense investment. You're scaring your nanny and it's scaring your little brother. Exactly. So they didn't touch it.
So for that reason Mega Metroid Mega Metroid Mega Metroid Mega Metroid Mega Metroid Mega Metroid Mega Metroid. What number is it? Super to Super Metroid then it's Super Metroid wins. Super Mega Metroid.
I think it's actually number two within the Metroid. What's your number three? Number three in the Metroid world. Yeah I think it's number three.
But it's Super Metroid. But that's one Super Metroid one. Yeah well there you go. Heard it at first.
Super Metroid into the semifinals.
