Ask Guru Gobbo #03

Unfortunately, your situation is puzzling as what you are saying should mean that 100% is obtained. And, since there's no straggling percent from saving Blob like in Dream Land 2, completion is rather clean cut. Kinda like the initial, "Well, is it plugged in?" verification, are you certain that all doors and treasures have been accessed? I know that I sometimes could over look a stranded occurrence on those several large maps. Other than that, I can only guess that a switch has gone unpressed.

Ah, you are referencing Project R.A.I.N.B.O.W.'s banner on the main page. Every time one of the seven parts is released, the corresponding letter is lit up and turns into a link to that section via an image map. This creates a colorful progression marker of the event. When it is finished, all seven colors of the rainbow will be shining. It is the Rainbow Resort, after all. It should be more colorful.

Meta Knight is, truthfully, good. In Adventure, he was protecting a piece of the Star Rod to keep Nightmare away. In Super Star, a large number of changes were made in the dialogue from the original to the English version which makes Meta Knight come across as a much more nefarious character. He states he wants to end the "corruption" that is in Dream Land, which is never clearly explained. In Amazing Mirror, he comes to the aid of the Mirror World only to have his dark doppelganger over power and imprison him. Thus, all bad guy acts in this game are actually performed by his evil twin. In Squeak Squad, much like in Adventure, Meta Knight battles Kirby only to keep him from unleashing a great evil, this time Dark Nebula.

First off, Wikipedia is, for the most part, a joke. The sections that have the most fan boys are the ones that have the most bickering and childish actions carried out. I'd avoid them and just get any game information from a game site. As for the release, yes, I believe it will make the deadline. HAL has been good to release Kirby games on portable systems.

The game and television series are based on a single concept, but neither really connects to the other beyond that much. There are several differences between the two Kirby characters. For example, one is a baby while the other is a youth. One favors tomatoes while the other adores watermelons. One can speak. Tongue color is just a minor change made to, most likely, add some more color to Kirby. He's already pink with red shoes. A different hue helps his character design. Now, in the games, Kirby's color scheme is controlled by a palette of a set number of colors. Here, they want to limit the amount of colors his sprite shows.

Very few people probably know what Chuchu is. Also, very few people care what she is as the Animal Friends, from what I've gathered, are not the most popular in the Kirby games. Most fans seem to prefer hatted powers to riding pals. Most Kirby information sites still say she is "some type of blob". It took me quite some time, years even, to learn. However, once someone said "octopus", it all made perfect sense. Pink, tentacles, sticks to ceilings.

When the identity of Chuchu came up in the forums, however, many folks of this community still called it into question. In truth, there is no official listing of what she may be. People are still set on her being "just a blob" or an amoeba. Some folks link her to the girl Gooey of Dream Land 2 but this is a false association. That character was, unimaginatively, named Blob and only served as a stand in for the American version of the game to replace Chao, a little girl from another HAL series, Yuuyuuki.

This question is further discussed in Session #15.

Obligation for the most part. Although, I have skipped over some two of the questions. These weren't really anything that deserved to be called such, mind you. The one was blank and the other seemed to be song lyrics. As for looking for something to do, I'm always trying to find an active role to play out at this site. Most of my ventures are complete misses. Providing 100% feedback will either keep this section alive or make everyone sick of it. Whichever, I'm good with. One thing that's for certain is that I'm not trying to steal Mailbag's thunder. Heh heh... >_>

When a creator leaves, the creation tends to suffer. Everyone else doesn't treat it with the same love and whimsy that the founder had for it. I'm not saying that they will flounder over time, just likely.

Yes!

No, the crew is told to evacuate the Halberd after it begins to fall from the sky. This would suggest some sort of escape pod or means of fleeing the vessel. The crew all leaves in waves, first the bulk of the hands, then the captain, then the Meta Knights after one more shot at stopping Kirby. They all leave except for Meta Knight for his final confrontation and Waddle Dee who is, I guess, watching the battle. Since there were several points in time at which the Halberd crew were evacuating, Waddle Dee could have waited until after the spectacular battle to abandon ship.

That, or HAL truly has no soul!
