- "RULES" | 1. Have fun 2. Beat games - proof NOT required via an image, but lying is lame and you won't 'win' anything for beating the most games 3. IF you are interested in badges, when you beat a game for 1, include something like 'Counts towards badge X' OR 'Earns me badge X, first game was Y' 4. IF you don't care about badges, then I will not be handing them out 5. No monthly leaderboards will exist in '22, I will post in the thread maybe around mid month and after month's end the top 5 or so participants 6. DLC generally doesn't count towards badges and any 1 game can only count towards a single badge |

I was kidding about Archie and Betty since while they are from comics, they're 100% NOT superheroes. Popeye maybe squeaks in since he gains powers from spinach and saves Olive frequently.
Garfield... is a bridge too far. He is in comics and eats lasagna but that doesn't really give him any powers. Plus from my understanding Garfield Racing is firmly in the 'You're Winner' area of rubbish titles.

| Common themes in the strip include Garfield's laziness, obsessive eating, love of coffee and lasagna, disdain of Mondays, and diets. Garfield is also shown to manipulate people to get whatever he wants. The strip's focus is mostly on the interactions among Garfield, Jon, and Odie, but other recurring characters appear as well. |

This next game is kind of rough... It's Konami's terrible sequel to a bona fide classic. It's Yie Ar Kung-Fu II: The Emperor Yie-Gah (
on 
Virtual Console)
The original game was more or less a one-on-one fighter that was one of the influences for Street Fighter a couple years later.
This one is... less inspiring. The first part of each stage is a short three screen run while either punching or avoiding kung fu babies that fly across the screen.
Then you get to a super cheap boss fight where you get your butt handed to you unless you are very good or very lucky. And I do mean lucky - randomly a bowl of Ramen may appear to give you several seconds of invincibility to just whale on your opponent. If you get the Ramen it's almost a guaranteed win.
After 8 increasingly difficult stages (I think the final boss would be practically impossible without a random Ramen bowl or save states) you win and the game loops back to the first stage.
The controls are a bit of a mess. You press left or right to move, diagonally up or down to kick high or low respectively, up to jump, and down to block melee attacks from bosses (every boss spams melee attacks when you get close so this is crucial to do once you get a hit. The boss will stop attacking and make so distance so they can spam their special attacks).
You also have a button that will punch left or right depending on which way you are facing. If you press the attack button and diagonal at the same time, you'll counterintuitively jump diagonally, then have to press attack again if you want to kick during your jump.
Would have made a lot more sense to just have you hold the attack button and tap a direction to attack rather than split the controls like that.

It's Comic book based superheroes, not comic characters that so happen to have a few superhero like examples.
This is why badges are annoying - I'm guessing @SupremeSarna and @WithinTemptation are largely messing around, but it gets tiresome having to fight the idea of what games/characters may or may not count. Part of this is my fault, I could and maybe should just say anything goes, want to claim Tetris as a Tactic's game, sure, how about Mario Kart as Sasori Vader b/c of Rainbow Road, why not. But I don't do that and push back some for almost no reason.

Lol, I was joking about Garfield. But in all seriousness I didn't think the Turtles would be such a stretch as super heros that you needed to change the definition of the badge
They are regular turtles mutated by ooze and become extraordinary martial artist who fight crime. Heros in a half shell with super powers (at least for a turtle).

I beat TMNT Arcade earlier this month - never even thought of it for Quest for Peace b/c to me it's a Beat-em-up first and foremost, that's why I questioned it. I shouldn't have bothered.

But I don't do that and push back some for almost no reason.
Just tell people to be reasonable or you'll start taking away badges >

Heh, I don't want to be a jerk and as WithinTemptation said, TMNT for superhero really wasn't unreasonable, that was more on me for not thinking of them (those titles) as really anything but side-scrolling beat-em-ups.

On the subject of badges: Kirby's Adventure and Super Star Ultra earn me the Girly badge. Kirby's cuteness and the games' accessibility make him popular with gamers of all ages and genders the world over. I will wear it with pride because Kirby is the best.

I had been wondering where Kirby might fit in, I like the idea that he would count for the Girly badge.
Also happy birthday @sailorneorune

Main story of Kirby games: not very difficult. It's the extra content and trying to 100% them that will beat you into the dirt with a rusty shovel.
Also thanks for the kind wishes as I complete another full ride on the blue dot on which we live.

It's been awhile since I played a compile heart game. I mean I liked a couple of Nep games I played. But I'm really liking Death End Re Quest 2. Very serious story, good characters. I only got it because I was looking for titles during the buy 2 get 1 free amazon sale a month back. Really getting into it.

After about a month of savoring, I've 100%ed Kirby and the Forgotten Land! @Slickriven This earns me Bear and Bird (Conker's Bad Fur Day, Kirby and the Forgotten Land).
[imgt w=1280 h=720]https://pbs.twimg.co...[/imgt]
This game is a breath of fresh air for Kirby! Shinya Kumazaki was the general director here, but it feels like he focused on creating a new experience rather than relying on his usual tricks. Animations and sound effects are largely new, the enemies and bosses are mostly new, the evolved Copy Abilities are new, Mouthful Modes don't feel like his past superpowers (Super Abilities, Hypernova, Robobot Armor, etc.)... it feels like the start of something unique. I thought the series was growing stale over the past 5 years or so when they started churning out multiple games a year, often at miniscule prices for one-and-done experiences (I'm talking 2017's Team Kirby Clash Deluxe onward, ignoring when they started releasing eShop sub-game-games in 2014). Forgotten Land was invigorating to my jaded old self!
Levels are often memorable, set in manmade locations you scarcely see in Kirby and with missions that pull you in further. The aforementioned Mouthful Modes are brilliant and super entertaining to watch Kirby use--Coaster Mouth and Water-Balloon Mouth are my favorites. The graphics ooze charm and HD detail. Music's good, too. Waddle Dee Town is a sprawling hub town that I wanted to thoroughly rebuild and explore! New mechanics are also great: Falling into pits doesn't KO you. Automatically swallowing your Copy Ability if you inhale it after taking damage is very handy, and you don't lose your ability very often. Game overs are impossible, simply costing you money for a checkpoint revival. The tournaments that replace previous games' The Arenas let you bring a backup item and even restart individual battles for a growing price. These are natural updates that make things more forgiving--in a series like Kirby, I'll embrace that.
I have a couple gripes, though. Treasure Road challenges are obnoxious; every time I'd clear a stage, I'd unlock two Treasure Road challenges I didn't really want to play. These break the game's pace if you're going for 100%, and even if you aren't, you should still play them to evolve your abilities. The game only has 12 Copy Abilities, one of which is the near-worthless Sleep, so you'd better upgrade them for variety's sake. It gets tiring running into the same handful of Copy Ability enemies and getting the same powers from them. A possible DLC pack could add some old favorites, preferably the less-common ones (I'd take Hi-Jump or Beetle over Spark or Beam anyday).
This is 100% a me-problem and I doubt many will object to this, but the Forgotten Land does the usual "starts innocent but has a crazy dark finale!" trope that fans and Kumazaki love, with a hint of early-series retconning. I personally was hoping they'd forego that this time around given how many trends Forgotten Land gleefully bucks, but I guess not. Retconning the origins of the series in Kirby Star Allies and here also feels a tad gross to me. Most of the games from the '90s are very wholesome and whimsical, so adding darker backstories for places and people that go on to star in Kirby's Dream Land seems misplaced. Kirby: Triple Deluxe players may remember Dark Meta Knight from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror appearing out of nowhere at the end of that game, which I always felt was cheap fanservice--a similar out-of-place fanservice fight happens in Forgotten Land, only it brings back repressed memories of me wasting my time with Star Allies. This is especially odd given how the game generally avoids random fanservice. setting itself apart from Kumazaki's other games and feeling more original.
Those minor criticisms aside, I have renewed faith that Kirby's future will remain bright. He's been here for 30 years, and he ain't going anywhere! Keep making excellent titles like this, HAL! And port Kirby and the Rainbow Curse to Switch while you're at it!

I've been trying to think of another game to earn the Vault Boy badge, but just realized that I already have one. Since I beat Elden Ring for both PS4 and PS5 I can use one of them for the Vault Boy badge. I used the first clear for the Grown Man badge (Sekiro/Elden Ring PS4).
So I earned the Vault Boy Badge (Horizon Zero Dawn, Elden Ring PS5)
For the sports games I'm planning on running through Destruction Derby 1 and 2 for I'd complete the wrecking racing championship and complete all the seasons.
For the star wars badge I'm thinking of using Disney Infinity 3. There are 3 different Star Wars playsets in the game and each can count as a separate game. Incase you never played Infinity it is similar to any other compilation of games disc which are already allowed (for example the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Collection). There is the main game that serves as a hub that you can launch several different playsets. The playsets themselves are full games with a story and a good amount of content. Figured I'd write this before I play through them incase someone has an issue with it. But I don't see where it would be a problem and I could make a strong argument why they should be allowed if needed.

Beat Raging Justice on. I'm not sure how I feel about it, it was fun enough but definitely rough around the edges Streets of Rage clone. Some of the mechanics felt slightly delayed and some attacks sometimes wouldn't happen or seemed to happen a bit after I actually did it, so the timing was all around odd. I also felt they threw way too many cheap enemies at you at times, so it was just a constantly die and come back to finish them off scenario in some sections.

Destruction Derby as a "Sports" title is a stretch for me. Would be more inclined to call them Race Drivin' titles - Sports should only be base/basket/foot/volley/dodge-ball, golf, ski/snow/skate-boarding, golf, boxing, bowling, tennis - that sort of stuff. Driving a car, snowmobile, ATV, etc falls out of the sports realm and into driving.
@WithinTemptation for a Collection type game to count as a completion, the game beat from said collection need to be it's own stand-alone release. That's why say Sonic 1 beat within a Sonic or Genesis collection counts. Beating a 'portion' of Disney's Infinity that wasn't available solo before would unfortunately not count.
