I have started to play this game due to some weird inside joke and I've come to discover something about the game that is rather interesting. I'm certain that I am not the first person to notice this but I expect that this might be useful for someone taking a crack at this game for the first time.
This is just based on the first dungeon, using the following order:
- San Francisco
- Moscow
- Nairobi
- Beijing
- Rome
This order is very important as I will explain in a moment.
Based on the order, here are the maps for each city and where items are placed, what info booth is where, and where the pipes go:
San Francisco:
Moscow:
Nairobi:
Beijing:
Rome:
The diamond shapes are for the street it sits on; the Koopa with the item is on that street somewhere. The circles are the pipes themselves and the hexagons are the "info booths" where Peach resides.
Why this order matters is that while the pipes and info booths remain static, the placement of Koopas with items will change if you do the cities in a different order! This means that there are a lot of possible paths to completing this game.
Hey all!
I have been running this game for about a month and am slowly trying to get further up the leaderboard--assuming they'll be approved! I've decided to just document things I've noticed and am including clips.
Overall this game has been fun do as my first run and I've learnt quite a bit from everyone else. I figured it would be great to have other people know what I am thinking when I play too!
Hi there!
My name is KateLibC although you can call me "Kate" but I go by "Cari" or "Cariad" everywhere too. During the day, I work in cyber security but I have a love for foxes and video games, with my favourite being Chrono Trigger.
While I have friends in speed running and have watched GDQ for years, I've never really found a game to run until I started to do a game quest.
I'm hoping to get some good runs in on Legend of Illussion Starring Mickey Mouse for the SMS/GG and maybe if that goes well pick up Castle of Illusion as well.
Anyway I am excited to see what comes my way!
