Ask Guru Gobbo #100

1) You refer to Nightmare, who has appeared in such games as Kirby's Adventure and the remake, appropriately timed for release near the American debut of the show, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. So, yes, he's been in games, at a titular character and the final boss, not to mention the what the game revolves around.

2) The episode with the stolen Earth artwork was #77: Dedede's Monsterpiece, the episode with Paint Roller.

3) The stuff he chows down on doesn't go to another dimension. Inside of his stomach is just a space-time defying, extra-dimensional pocket that can account for more volume than should be allowed in a given amount of space. It's just advanced theoretical dimensional physics, nothing drastic.

4) No, I do not. I've only said it enough times.

5) Punctuation includes periods, folks.

1) I didn't. I only do, on average, ten questions per session. The past crew did a lot larger of a dump but would spread it out over time. I don't know either side's technical numbers of questions.

2) Video games are always easier for younger kids, it seems. I can stomp my older brother, for the most part, in a lot of games, but then I have cousins half my age who can mop the floor with me. i think it has to do with the younger generations have more exposure to video games. They start playing at an earlier age and gain more skill at them in doing so. But, really, I think you just got whack skills, yo. I'm undoubtedly older and can blow through all of Amazing Mirror in one sitting.

3) At first, I was going to guess that your battery backed memory kicked the bucket, but then the save file came back? That's a new one to me. I have no idea what that's about, but I'd count my blessings.

1) No, Spongebob is one of those shows that stupid little gits who don't know better and brain dead pot heads enjoy, for the most part. Now no more on the corner panted nitwit. Just like with my Sonic bashing, shaddup already.

2) You pull that botched number from a questioner who I belittled for being so atrocious at arithmetic and even gave the offset to how off he was on my years. So, you repeat it? You nailed it on the head with "According to KRR math", alright -- botched, wrong, and incorrect.

3) Okay, so I shouldn't be surprised of this since you quoted stupidity that I blatantly labeled as such, but then you go on to ask a question which about follows the same lines as a question previously said to be unanswerable since the nature involved something unfamiliar with and was not Kirby related and thus did not warrant any concern. Congrats, Nick, you win the Centennial Session Spectacular award for stupidest questioner ever . That's saying something, too, considering that there's, oh, a thousand questions probably buried in all these. Wear that badge of shame with pride.

1) There is only one Animal Friend that is considered food by most cultures -- Chuchu. Really, she's asking for it. Someone needs to lure her over to a plate of rice so it'll be sushi time.

2) Ninja-anything. Wait, what does that have to do with Kirby?

3) We would win, the spectators. No matter what, one of if not both will be hurt deeply in the end, and we will be thusly happy. Oh, man, that'd be sweet...

4) Horribly over the top, unfitting, inappropriate, and why would that even be asked? The guy makes no reason, blinding action flicks. I don't see how a bubbly, pink puff would even be put into his vision. Kirby would probably be cast as a female clad in ... pink leather... with guns that shot star shaped bullets? Hey, at least that'd be somethin' like it's suppose to be.

1) I think you mean why is Dark Zero called Dark Nebula in America. Asking why a character had a name in the original is backwards reasoning. Dark Zero is thusly named as he's, allegedly, linked to Zero. He's like the last, weakened remnants of Dark Matter and Zero wrapped in a box. They either didn't want the association with Zero in the American one, as that entire branch of the game series is kinda ignored, or they wanted more relation between the big bad and the level he appeared on's name, Gamble Galaxy.

2) Kirby was requested to not speak by Masahiro Sakurai and "poyopoyo" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for a toddler's wobbling.

3) All of these forces are essentially the same driving force -- Zero. He's a one-eyed monstrosity that takes control of things, so that's what takes over things. That's not even connecting point A to B, that's just point A.

1) Hey, don't look at me. I didn't implement the 6/5 rating. To me, that's like weighting GPA 5/4 or even, more stupidly, 6/4, and I've been screwed over far too much by that system to ever propose something like it. I agree with you, though, that it's a rather whacky system, but you have to understand why it was incorporated -- those artists got all fives. So, I guess to make the all fifen system have some scalability, an extender was applied to the votes. Also, I think it was added to show that, well, it could be added. Oh, phantom of Rainbow Resort. Work your crazy magic.

2) That certainly is a new one. That sounds like a glitch on your cartridge. I'd guess it's gotten some dose of damage to it or needs cleaned.

The jumping mini-game must be successfully played through, meaning not landing on a bad spot, ten times consecutively. It's a lot easier than the previous mini-game gauntlet, I'd say, considering that's fifteen triumphs total in a lot more challenging.

1) When I stop getting questions, or good questions. I'd probably pause it rather than stop it, at least first. Unlike the other Gurus, I'd probably actually get back to it. ... Maybe not.

2) Heh. Yeah, he does. That's pretty funny.

3) No. I respect the work of the Brothers Chap.

4) What's with the short popped Qs, yo?

Can't say, never played it. I can cover facts for games I've never played, but I can't give opinions that would only come from playing on them.

Yeesh, is this how the first venture into triple digits will go?

Yeah, I really don't have anything to say on that, either.
