Ask Guru Gobbo #94

When did I ever say that Suplex had an inhale? Oh, there. But, no, you misunderstood my words. Of course, I probably could have arranged them better. When I said, "he doesn't have an inhale", I meant he doesn't have the ability to inhale, Squeaky Bogg. I meant that as a blanket statement to him as a whole, not just in that particular usage. I even bothered to note it since Bogg specifically uses Backdrop which, by all right, is the one with the inhale.

However, effectively, Suplex is still just Backdrop despite the name change. That's really what a "backdrop" is, anyways. A suplex. The two are as related as Cutter is between Adventure and Super Star. It's tweaked and given a lot more flash to it, but, underneath it all, it's the same basic power.

I can't say with certainty why you didn't get it, but I can throw out any number of plausible reasons. The most simple of them could be that your email account blocked it as spam. The other likely culprit is a typo in your address. I don't believe Coppermine, or most things for that matter, require a duplicate typing of the email address.

1) The Galactic Comet is covered in trinkets and devices common to measuring and ... scaling? A globe is perfectly reasonable, especially for its use in Geography. Don't you know? All planets learn Earth's geographic layout. How else do you think these aliens get their know-how to take us over in science fiction horror movies?

2) It isn't you, isn't me. Search for things that you can't see. Going blind, out of reach, somewhere in the vasolee-een.

Two times and it has rendered me, punch drunk and without bail. Think I'd be safer all alone. Flies in the vasoline we are. Sometimes it blows my mind. Keep getting stuck here all the tiiime.

... What was the question? Oh, yeah. I answer the questions. Bogg is the funny mascot. STP is a great band.

1) Say whaaa!? Now, I get the Backdrop/Suplex grouping. These two are effectively identical, and the line was further blurred when even Backdrop was given the dashing capture in Nightmare in Dream Land. However, the only thing that Throw and Backdrop have in common is their star laden inhale breath in Adventure. Okay, and headbands. But, these two are wholly different abilities.

For starters, Throw is a throw. When Kirby gets a hold of his opponent, he launches them out in a non-game title super star fashion. With the addition of aimability, Throw is as close as you get to Kirby's natural attack means with some added perks (and the handicap of not being able to move after securing ammo). Backdrop/Suplex, on the other hand, is all about rasslin'. The enemy does get tossed about some, but mostly it is about slamming and bashing luchadore style.

This is probably why Throw stayed with its original altered inhale capture mode and Backdrop switched up to the tackle. It's a more hands-on and pugilistic power. Throw, basically being "Super Inhale", should have a means of supply like what it is basically an amped up version of. The two may share looks, but the result is radically different. Totally radical. To the point, even, where Magic John is a hawk, lion, and fish at the same time. Congratulations to the one person who could possibly understand this.

2) Rock Star needed to be broken apart. Think about it. Planet of water, planet of fire, planet of ... earth? Hey, that sounds familiar. I think we have one of those with Earth. A big brown orb just isn't that fancy; however, spice it up with some cracks and all spice, as it spices all, and you got yourself a great pie/star.

This is a really tough call. The game looks official, the box seems alright, but that booklet really does seem off. It strikes me as odd that a bootlegger would create, however, a new format for all the pages rather than just copying them. This makes me think that it is legit. It seems a little too well put together. I'd reckon it is the international version of the game, or some other market's version.

Yes, eBay. For a game that old, that'd be my only suggestion. I just checked, and they have a lot of copies there. Depending on how much you are willing to pay for it or in what condition, you'd get a wide selection. As for the unit to actually play it, it plays fine on the Game Boy Advance, so only if you got in the game at the DS would you need to purchase an older unit. I play it on my all the time. Just sayin'.

1) Curses and crush us! My poorly-kept non-secret revealed~! Y'know, M190049, how is it a spark of inspiration if I already said that I was his twin brother? That's not from inspiration -- that's from basic reading ability!

2) Marx gets a second shot at life since the energies and superiority of NOVA were used to reanimate him. And he does finally kick the bucket after that.

3) Spunt has gobblin' abilities, likened to those of Rick in Dream Land 3. That's covered in his profile. So, unlike his favored rider, he can intake enemies as per normal, making him a standard Animal Friend. A Bounder could be hitching a ride, and he'd still eat things. Besides, I said before, the ride overrides the rider and has its abilities show through.

1) Oh, that's what you meant. ... Um, yeah, I dunno. I never really thought about it.

2) Dark Matter is just dark in color, chiefly, and the Dark Matter is just terrible at making friends, or jealous of it, or is somehow socially handicap. Gooey is simple minded and friendly, so he avoids this problem. "Dark" doesn't mean "evil", remember.

3) Yes. That's why it's in our URL and why you get those annoying advertisement transistion pages every minute or so. Ack!

1) You, I can tell, only watch the animated series. Yes, Meta Knight has the same face as Kirby. This is only shown in the games, as the link reveals, but is never presented in the animated series. Ever. His skin is blue, or a dark navy earlier on, and his eyes are white, actually. The mask he wears has a yellow lens, apparently, in the eye slot, as has been shown to be the case in Super Smash Bros. Brawl when Kirby puts on the mask from copying Meta Knight. That is, his blue eyes turn green.

2) The never say. King Dedede has been said to be ruling for over three-hundred years, I believe, but a specific number is never given. Frankly, the reasons of why age can't be defined was explained best in this session.

3) See the prior.

4) Kine does have a wife, yes. She's Mine from Dream Land 3.
