Technically this is true. I prefer playing Double Dash or Wii. But my Wii is not here atm so Dolphin it is. :(

Yep, that very interesting Thomas game docs video on it, and how the blue shell is the only reason the game is balanced. The rigging problem has gotten a lot better since recent times though

The blue shell is like, the bane of my existence. Since I’m always in front.
ChronicTraitor wrote: Sat Aug 17, 2024 5:05 am Yeah, I remember hearing about that one! I don't have a good enough phone for it, but I'm more of a console/pc person myself. Not really that big on the mobile scene aside from the 12 or so that I've held onto on my old iPad that I play once in a blue moon.

Don't worry about it being rigged, every Mario Kart is! :lol:
The thing about Tour is, I have to sandbag often to even do well since the game to me feels more like, performance based than anything.

I prefer to associate blue with the goop rather than the shell

It still amazes me that the N64 version was the original version of R2 I always though it was PC

I still haven't finished High on Life as I'm trying to find all the treasure chest before going against the final boss.

I did spend some time playing the old DOS game - Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion - and actually beating it fair and square (no cheats) for the first time in my life! :oops2:

It’s a great achievement when you can finish a game through without resorting to cheating and such. :)

It also amazes me how much better the PC version looks, considering that they were made at pretty much the same time

Contemporary PC technology had more oomph.

Definitely. It’s crazy to see how far ahead of everything else the PC was up until the mid-late 2000s

The PC version was the one I played first so I’m partial to that over N64

I feel like the best one you’ve played is the only one playable to you. Like I own the 3DS version and I have the N64 version on my phone, but the 3DS one is so far ahead that all the ones below it are hard to enjoy

What do you think of it? I actually think it gets too much undeserved hate and it’s better than most of the versions

I only really played the PS1 version of Rayman 2 because that one was the only one Cosmic hadn't played. :winkgrin: Also I wanted to see the 2D prototype they hid in there. I liked the unique path that version's story takes, and the fact there's less to collect to 100% the game.
