Pizza Tower (2023) *finished 3/13/2025*

• Someone outdid Wario Land...

• and made the movement like CRACK

• I've been enjoying this game a lot ty to my friend who gifted me the game for my bday

• the Wario platformers (and the character in general) have always been my favorite since playing "Shake It" on the Wii

• so to have Pizza Tower feels like the sequel I've been waiting for since....... 2008

• the artstyle is colorfully offputting (posi) I love the theming of Italian cusisine

• I just beat the first boss that fucking pepper whooped me

• my only caution to tell is that the movement took some time to get used to I'm still trying to master it

• but when you get that down and can speed through levels, it's extremely satisfying

• *post game update* the levels had fun gimmicks like having a gun and beating the time limit, a golf level, a monster chasing you if you trip an alarm

• Gustavo and Gallery my beloved duo

• Short and sweet with lots to collect afterwards

• one of the bosses called "the noise" is playable after the first playthrough

• get Pizza Tower ESPECIALLY when it's on Steam sale!

Luigi's Mansion (2001)

• Luigi gets his first big game

• 6 year old me on my birthday unboxing the Gamecube for the first time- Luigi's Mansion included

• short and sweet it only takes about 6 hours to finish

• once you finish the game you get a hard mode that changes the layout and difficulty that adds another layer to the short game

• I love that every playthrough feels like a speed run- giving lots of replayabilty

• Nintendo made this scary and never did it again I love how eerie but goofy it can be

• lots of people lived in this mansion and they're all documented with descriptions when you capture them

• The boo collecting will always piss me off they never stay still

• they got Mario in the painting thanks to King Boo

• from spooky sounds to electronic poppy tunes- this soundtrack loves to reinterpret the main theme in fun ways with other songs included

• the Gamecube was my first system meant for me and not handed down from family i'll always thank my dad for this system that started all of this

• i heart video games my first love
