Looks like we found an escape pod!



Unfortunately, Mikey can't swim!

♪Death♪


♪Victory♪


Luckily, another kind of pod was nearby and an old friend brings us to safety.



Looks like Uncle Steve has returned to C-Island in the Sub-C.





It sure is!







Show some respect! Those 'nanas saved my life!



The cola refills your life... but there's nothing you need it for anymore.

My goal in this Let's Play was to transfer every room, every bit of text, every song, every feeling of StarTropics so that even someone who has never touched the game will feel like they have played it after reading this. So, let me know how close I came.

I'll say this: I hate this game with the passionate fire of a thousand alien suns, but I enjoyed following this LP. I'd say mission accomplished!

This game has such a great ending. Definitely one of the best endings on the NES. Are we going to see a Zoda's Revenge LP soon?

I've been getting an itch to play through it, at least. The fortuitous and coincidental arrival on VC and Fun Club seals the deal. Once I have a more intimate familiarity with it, we'll see if an LP is feasible. (read: in a few months)

I had already played it before, but seeing all the text and the connected screenshots that showed the whole room brought on the nostalgia. The links to the music though, that really sealed the deal. That dungeon theme is just so damn catchy and hearing it playing while reading the LP made it even better.

Congratulations on an LP well done. I know I beat this game a few years ago but surprisingly I didn't remember any of it. Here's hoping for a Zoda's Revenge LP.

For my part, I really enjoyed it. Great job, and I just hope I can manage mine half as well as you managed this one. Anything on your plate for a sequel?
