Kirby's Rainbow Resort

My incompatability to say 'no' brings this Mailbag edition to 6 people answering letters this issue! This means you have more to read, but also means I have more to type up and format! However, as always, the purpose of the Mailbag is to serve you, the reader. And cynical psychos like AgentS, of course.

Aipom is a forum administrator, amongst other things?! She's also a normal type Pokémon who will appear in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Contrary to popular belief, she does not, in fact, indulge in recreational drugs of any sort, despite the constant maniacal grin and glazed eyes.

Asotoku said the Mailbag can't be done without him, so this came out a day late. Much love. <3

Diddgery, professional bee eater, honeycomb destroyer, and overthrower of bee monarchies, is evidently also somewhat of a de facto Mailbag standard now. He also has a bright future as a entrepreneur in beating up that thing in those Honey Comb commercials (what is that thing, anyways?) and flying jets into anyone who suggests he not become a Mailbag regular.

Disaster owes me a Pokémon card for being in this Mailbag! He probably won't send me it, so I'll get it myself one day when I'm 40 years old and creepy!

Shiro's a good guy, but he leaves this Mailbag mid answering questions, which is--

Also keep in mind that in this Mailbag edition you were invited to name your favorite Kirby game, as a sort of theme. I'll be explaining why Dream Land 3 is the best and why mostly everyone is an idiot as we go along.

-RMD

I havn't played Kirby's Dreamland 3, but I'm sure it's much better. Discluding that, my favorite game is Kirby Super Star. When do you think it will come out for the Virtual Console?

Also, how do you decide who will be answering mail in the mailbag? Do you just ask important members on the forums if they want to do it, or do you have some kind of secret, selective ritual to decide who writes this stuff?

RMD: It is coming out this year. No specific date has been set, though. And you should go play Dream Land 3 ASAP, young man, lest you miss out on the best Kirby game that was ever made.

The second part of your letter deals with Classified Information.

Aipom: I have no idea when it will come out for the virtual console, and I got chosen to do this particular mailbag because I annoyed the mailbag regulars until they let me join :]

Disaster: Super Star will come out... eventually. Also, the ritual is so secret, I don't know how some of us even found it.

Shiro: to answer your first question, i have no idea! i wasn't really "in the loop" when KDL3 was popular, if it ever was. to answer your second question, it is a super secret ritual that i cannot let anyone know the details of. sorry. :(

Diddgery: Kirby Super Star is a choice I am sure we will see more of, as many people consider it to be the best Kirby game due to all of the different stuff inside. Of KSS' games, Milky Way Wishes is my personal favorite, though Revenge of Meta Knight is also awesome.

And yes we have a secret ritual, the Ordeal of Mailbag. The survival rate is about 6%, so..most people don't make it out alive. We are the lucky ones!!

Okay, I'll follow the theme. Uhh, I like Adventure. Good old Kirby when he used to not wear fashion accessories. Not that they weren't cool, it's just that it doesn't happen anymore. Hat hat hat hat hat. Dream Land 3 was great too, with it's stylized graphics and awesome musics.

Should I ask a question too? Hm.. Okay, if you guys could change something about Kirby games, what would it be? I don't mean how repetitive and vapid they are getting, but maybe some small quirk that just wasn't done right.

Aipom: If I could change one thing about Kirby games, I would make them harder...and put Aipom as a boss in them :]

Diddgery: Adventure was my first Kirby game (as well as first video game ever) so it holds a place near and dear to my heart. I didn't like a few of the changes in Nightmare in Dreamland...mainly due to the lack of the sidescrolling awesome parts of Butter Building. But to answer your question!! I would like to see a game that is easy to beat but has things to collect, and when you collect them all you can get the real ending. Like in KDL2, KDL3, and K64.

RMD: Whoops! Dream Land 3 was more than great, it was perfect. Mario games be damned, quite a few games made even today-- shut up, step aside, you're up against a champion here. Dream Land 3's drawing points are its stylized graphics and epic music, sure, but what gets you is the atmosphere. The mood. The zeitgeist.

Did Adventure have that? I'm sorry, it didn't! It was just another standard fare cliché platformer-- sure it introduced the copy abilities that became a staple in the series, but it's debatably just an improv on Mega Man. Did you cry out in terror when you saw Dedede? Even Nightmare?

Don't get me wrong, Adventure is a lovely game and I do adore it, but Kirby's Dream Land 3 grabs it, throws it against a wall, and makes it watch The Joy of Painting reruns. Except it's not The Joy of Painting-- it's An Inconvenient Truth.

Enjoy your Al Gore documentary, Kirby's Adventure!

Disaster: Game length. Seriously, some of them are just too short. Also...just plain Kirby doesn't have a hat. :(

Asotoku: Oh, this is a cool question too. Not something stupidly.. stupid. One that requires thinking. Something I'd change, huh? The difficulty of the latest games, I suppose. Add the ability to change the difficulty. I can understand marketing towards younger people, but some people want a challenge, not just a fancy display of colour.

a pirate kirby would be cool too

Shiro: oh, wow, a real question. i would probably make the games longer, since i always beat most of them within a day. :(

Hey, guys...

I recently had three-fiths of my body sliced off in an accident involving lemurs and foot stools.

Is there anything I can do?

Yours truly,
That sorta ok guy from the forums

PS: My favorite Kirby game is Paper Kirby: The Thousand Year Walrus.

RMD: PS: Keep it on the down low, but it's my favorite too!

Aipom: Is there anything you can do? Sure, put the pieces of you that were cut off on ice and then get some super glue :]

Diddgery: *Ultros alters his body composition! Use elemental attacks at your own risk!*

Disaster: Those must have been some sharp lemur stools!

Shiro: APPLY STAPLER TO FOREHEAD. REPEAT IF NECESSARY

OOh I just wanted to say that you cam make a kirby like this <('o')> Ooh and if I have A gamecube, Gameboy Advance And Nintendo What Kirby game should I get???? OOH do you like bunnies than you are a good person

RMD: rabbits endulging themselves on a cold spring night

Aipom: I don't know what Kirby game you should get, read up on the ones available for your system and see which one you would be most interested in :]

Shiro: STOP MAKING THAT FACE ADGHDGGGHFFHS

Diddgery: Best bet for a Kirby game when limited to GBA and GCN would probably be Amazing Mirror, because it was the one I found the most enjoyable and challenging. Oh, bunnies. I like bunnies. But I love Shiro more than bunnies.

Disaster: I cam? No wai! Also get all of the games. All three of them. (Unless Nintendo means NES which would make that four!)

Shiro: you have a computer, right? get an emulator :V

i like kirby

RMD: How's that treating you, Daniel? The whole being cool thing?

Aipom: Think I won the Powerball.

Diddgery: .....Yeah, so?

Disaster: Good for you! I like proper punctuation! :D

Shiro: what?? what is this kirby you speak of?

My favorite Kirby game is probably Kirby's Dreamland 3. I love the scribbly graphic style and the soothing music, and the animal partners were all awesome. I especially liked how each level had its own special quest to complete.

Also I bet that this one won't get answered because chances are that I'll be answering the Mailbag again.

RMD: EXCEPT IT IS GETTING ANSWERED, HA HA

Aipom: That was a statement

Asotoku and Shiro, BFF: THAT WAS NOT A QUESTION

Disaster: Looks like you were wrong, Diddgery!

... I'm probably one of the least expected to submit one of these. But after reading the most recent mailbags, I couldn't resist. :D

[1] RMD, Kirby's Dreamland 3 was mentioned in the parting comments of the last mailbag. Can you explain to me why, in your opinion, it is "much better" compared to other games in the series?

[2] It must be frustrating answering to several of the awkward letters you guys end up getting sometimes. How do you guys put up with that?

[3] If that "KRR Pokemon Wifi Tournament" ends up happening soon, how big do you guys think it would be?

[4] Finally, this is a random question, but how are you guys doing with adjusting to Daylight Savings occurring earlier this year? I need to get used to it still, especially when it comes to doing my morning routine (I almost tripped down my stairs this morning, since my house is pitch-black now when I wake up. :O)

Alright, my letter sucked, and I do realize that. Still, I'm pretty curious how you guys would respond to one of my letters. XD

Aipom:

[1] KDL3 was better then other Kirby games because of the awesome graphics and animal friends :D
[2] As for how I put up with answering awkward questions...well, I don't usually, this is my first time answering the mailbag.
[3] KRR pokemon WiFi will be big, and I'll be the winner of course, with my faithful Aipom :]
[4] And uh, daylights savings time sucks :(

Asotoku:

[2] How do I put up with it? I eat sugar cubes before the mailbag starts. True story.
[3] Depends on how many people have less of a life than RMD :(
[4] Early Daylight Savings? I'm not in Sweden or wherever you Americans live :(

Diddgery: Hi CyberFlame!!
[2] Okay, uh, I put up with dumb letters by either ignoring them or saying something cynical or satirical or just stupid and funny.
[3] I hope that the WiFi Tournament turns out rather big.
[4] And the Daylight Savings thing....doesn't bother me at all.

Disaster:

[1] RMD just thinks it is, and what he says, goes.
[2] We make fun of it. Best way out.
[3] BIGGER THAN BIG, TALLER THAN TALL, GIGANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!
[4] I hardly sleep at all, so DST barely affects me!

I've seen worse mail, CF.

Shiro:

[1] my name isn't RMD. >:O
[2] as you've seen, we put up with awkward letters by making fun of the senders!!
[3&4] ALSO I THINK THE KRR POKEMON WIFI TOURNAMENT SHOULD BE CANCELLED IMMEDIATELY THIS WAS RMD'S IDEA WASN'T IT.

RMD: I edited your post and replies for easier reading, just so you know ahead of time! Anyways!

[1] I compared KDL3 to KA with fanboyish hyperboles and absurdism a few letters back. That response can be generalized to render KDL3 superior to maybe everything except Kirra Kizzu. But, KSS is a contender too because of plot. But it is still my feeling that the things in KDL3 that were unsaid, but still presented, were better (if unintentionally) crafted than it was in KSS.
[2] How does the Speaker of the House deal with the whole "I'm Nancy Pelosi" thing? I don't know, it's difficult.
[3] BIG ENOUGH FOR MY EMPOLEON TO TAKE HOSTAGES
[4] This is why we should answer Mailbag more frequently, I guess. Wasn't the DST thing a few weeks ago?

The Metallic enemy in kirby squeak squad is called Metalum, as evident by the fact there is a Big Metalum and the not-so reliable Wikipedia. I will attempt to find more sources and inform you if I find any other things about him.

Shiro: ... . thanks?

Aipom: Okay...cool?

Asotoku: There's a metallic enemy?

Disaster: Don't we already know this? :/

RMD: Well I found it interesting, anyways!

This being my first interaction with you all, it becomes a matter of utmost importance to introduce myself. I am a teacher and student. I am currently doing my diploma project with Politecnica de Madrid, working on their color and trim. This includes giving context to color of their exterior and interior story language. Starting with the consumer segment and wrapping the project with two vehicles with definite color stories aiming at two broad consumer categories. I wish to pursue color in future too, and that's where my interest lies as well. My first job after college was as a math and computer science teacher for La Salle High School in Madrid. I quickly turned over the entire computer science program upgrading it from PASCAL and Word Perfect for DOS courses to C , Visual Basic, and Microsoft Office. I still joke about tearing off all the cheat sheets taped on the keyboards above the function keys to get people to start using Word and Windows. A programmer or software developer is someone who programs computers, that is, one who writes computer software. The term computer programmer can refer to a specialist in one area of computer programming or to a generalist who writes code for many kinds of software. One who practices or professes a formal approach to programming may also be known as a programmer analyst, software engineer, computer scientist, or software analyst. A programmer's primary computer language (Java, C , etc.) is often prefixed to the above titles, and those who work in a web environment often prefix their titles with web.Those proficient in computer programming skills may become famous, though this regard is normally limited to software engineering circles. Many of the most notable programmers are often labeled hackers. Programmers often have or project an image of individualist geekdom, resistance to "suits" (referring to both business suits literally and figuratively to the "Establishment"), controls, and unionization. Ada Lovelace is popularly credited as history's first programmer. She was the first to express an algorithm intended for implementation on a computer, Charles Babbage's analytical engine, in October 1842. Now, apart from my studies and work, I design some websites called boxbcn, quite interesting but only if you have some need about it. Anothe one is about flats pisobcn, topic very important in my city. That's all, just some nonsenses. Maybe they are not very good, but I just wanted to show it to you. Hoping a very insightful interaction with all of you.

Diddgery: This. Is. A. Kirby. FANSITE.

Disaster: 404 I Don't Care

Shiro: you just overloaded my brain cell.

RMD: I have to admit I recognized all of the names and titles you referred to, but I am somewhat hard pressed to try to explain and understand their respective significances. And what does this have to do with Kirby? I'm not sure.

I enjoy mailbag very!
We would like to write on the help of the people whom as for me it cannot read the Japanese, it is poor have been troubled.
As for the prose whose RMD is beautiful with English, it must be shared!

As for your my translation there is here:

The green rich ground, Shine New district where the central mountain range is impressive!
Gathering Pokemon which lives in this district, the fact that you make the Pokemon Zoo can complete, is another purpose!

The escalator to the well-known Pokemon Center underground first!?

The escalator to the underground first!??

The escalator to the underground first!???

The escalator to the underground first!!!!!!!!!

Aipom: Get grammar and come back to me

Asotoku:

Maintaining it is a history, all about the way in which my life
obtained reversed - turned with back, and I would like to take one
minute, rests me there right good, I will say to you that the howI
went well to the prince of a city called Caractère of call-Beautiful-Air

Diddgery: Entire right will gush out itself, uncle Ulty IT IS ACTUAL! ! We want to make the image of portrait!

Disaster: I enjoy mailbag also very! Translation of beautiful English RMD's unecessary joke was as is it

RMD: HOW DO I ナゾナゾ????

Kirby 64 is my favorite. Why? Its got the badass ability mixing and crystal shard finding fun. And the mini games, can't forget those. Also, have any of you completed the enemy card collection?

RMD: Yes.

And you're crazy for liking K64 the most.

Aipom: No.

Asotoku: What enemy card collection? In Kirby 64, you mean? I only played it liked twice. In McDonalds. They have it there for some reason. Along with Banjo Tooie, which is much more worth the time.

My favorite Kirby game is Kirby 64 because I love combos, and the cutscenes and the music are unique and excellent. I deserve to play it in a long time. Any favorite moments in Kirby 64?

Aipom: I don't have a favorite moment, but the most disturbing moment is when King Dedede is possessed by Dark Matter. The eye on his stomach really...freaked me out...

RMD: Wasn't that in KDL3? That was my favorite part of KDL3. They stole it for K64? I don't remember that, but I don't want to check because I'll be mad if it's true.

Favourite part of K64 is probably the mall store thing on Shiver Star. Lost Earth? Clever!

Diddgery: Ribbon's plethora of panty shots.

HA HA! I kid.

Disaster: The ending. Because it's finally over.

About your saying in mailbag 34 that classic Kirby games are better, I completely agree. My personal favorite Kirby games ever would be Kirby Super Star and Kirby's Dreamland 3. I also have other favorites, but those are the two best by far.

Unfortunately, most of the newer games haven't been worth it. I'd say the only good newer Kirby game that was fon for a long period of time would be Kirby Air Ride. Other than that I haven't been impressed with new Kirby games as a whole.

The recent kirby games start out a lot of fun and then fall apart once you beat the game. I don't like games like that because they aren't much worth playing after you beat them.

It's nice to see that other people actually care about the classic Kirby games because at times it seems like nobody does.

Also regarding issue 34's comment about kirby being in New Super Mario Bros, I learned that you do get to fight kirby after you kill 34234234089234 goombas. :P

Diddgery: Okay, cool. You're cool. That's cool.

Aipom: So uh...where is the question :[

RMD: Oh.

Asotoku: oh i played kriby super star once

Disaster: HAL is getting lazy, like every other company out there. It's a sad thing, really.

Which style of "multiple fast minigames mashed into an a full game" do you prefer? WarioWare Inc or Rhythm Tengoku?

And uh incase I'll get shot for not contributing to the "theme" and not saying my favorite Kirby game, I guess it'd be Kirby's Dream Land 3. Or something.

Aipom: WarioWare Inc

Diddgery: WarioWare Inc., if only because I have never heard of the other one. Though to be honest I was a bit dissapointed by WarioWare: Smooth Moves!, if only because its multiplayer was lacking and it was noticeably shorter than the rest of the WarioWare games...still fun, though.

Disaster: Wario is awesome. Therefore, WarioWare is awesome. Is that so hard to understand?!

RMD: Well I'm sure not going to break a combo. WarioWare, though it's a preference, and because I haven't played the other. I don't really like the 'bunch of minigames = game' genre, but I don't hate it, either.

Can you kick Diddgery out? He's annoying.

RMD: You have no soul, Bucky Katt. You will also not be allowed to this mailbag ever again. And I'll be able to know if you wrote to this mailbag, Bucky Katt. I have my ways. Yeah, that's right. And you don't. You suck.

I said it. What now?

If Bucky Katt sends a letter to the KRR Mailbag next issue, there is gonna be some serious business up in mailbag36.html, if you know what I mean. Bucky Katt better not send no more junk our way, or else imma send junk some Bucky Katt, if you know how gangsters talk and could understand my fly gangster talk.

No more letters, Bucky Katt. I mean it.

Diddgery:

Disaster: I'll kick you. >:(

RMD: I am serious, Bucky. Don't cross me. I'll get you. Like a jaguar. Fast. And hard.

My favorite Kirby game is Kirby Super Star, but knowing you'd flame me rather badly and proclaim that KDL3 is better, I'll just say that I agree with you - yes, Kirby's Dreamland 3 is the best game.

Have a nice day. :D

Aipom: Uhm, okay. I wouldn't flame you though, everyone is entitled to their own opinion :]

Diddgery: That's a flat-out lie. We have yet to flame anyone!! Sort of. Kind of.

RMD: Not really, Diggerdy, because I totally just provoked Bucky Katt.

ALSO DEAR DREAMCAT: YOU'RE A DUMB LOSER AND A FAILURE AT LIFE WITH BAD OPINIONS.

Though Bucky Katt has the worst opinions of all.

Disaster: What is with you people and the no questions?

how do i shot web????????????????????

ps my favourite kirby game is dreamland 2 but there is a glitch when i press the b button kirby eats his enemies!!!!! :shock: :shock: how do i fix this??/

RMD: Don't let Bucky @#$%!+& Katt play your Game Boy.

Aipom: How I mine 4 fish???????????

Kirby's Super Star kicks butt, 'cause you can be teh wheelie dude and run people over while the biker shoots stars of death at them and laugh insanely. >D BWAHAHAHA....*cough*
Anyways, here's my question; How would you respond to someone if they said "Dedede pwns Kirby"? Would you..
A.) Slap them
B.) Agree with them
C.) Eat their face
D.) Ignore them
E.) (Insert what you would rather do)
My choise would be C, but who cares anyhoo.

RMD: E: CHALLENGE BUCKY KATT TO A RAP BATTLE

Aipom: C, I like to eat faces :]

Diddgery: Wheelie Bike is fun, especially with two players!! My answer to your question is E.

Disaster: A. And then maybe C.

I H8 Bucky Katt Corner:

Aipom: Aipom is the best pokemon ever, if you don't think so, you're WRONG!!

Asotoku: Buckets of Cats were not harmed in the making of this mailbag. I speak for both myself and Shiro when I say this. God knows where he went.

Diddgery: BUCKY KATT!!! I WILL DEFEAT YOU IN COMBAT!!! WE SHALL DUEL!!

Disaster: Where were the questions

BUCKY KATT IS @#$*%^& TROUBLE

The next Mailbag is scheduled for the start of April, as we try to start a bi-weekly or even less sort of schedule. The response to a themed mailbag was overwhelming, but this edition will be ...you'll see.

If you do want a chance to write to the Mailbag but don't know what exactly to write about, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are coming out soon: are you excited? (A lot of Kirby fans are also Pokémon fans, as it were; myself included!)
