Ask Guru Gobbo #67

Pretty much, this falls into the territory of Squeak Squad. He gets a cake stolen and then goes on a rampage that unleashes the super evil, Dark Zero (Nebula). Also, unknowingly, in Adventure, he almost released Nightmare, but that was unknowingly. At least then, he assumed he was doing good. The other example has him acting solely to satisfy his sweet tooth.

1) Not that that would have helped, but I simply missed answering the question. I started it up but forgot to finish it before I posted the last session. It was rather rushed, and I was escaping battery time expiration. Regardless, I finished up the answer back in the original.

2 ... 3) No, nothing was missed. That's called holding off until something is actually in a sort of use. Technically, that image is days old and has been saved for when it was being used. There's not going to be something in a directory when it wasn't actually officially unveiled.

4) If you meant just straight printing off a website, then it's even less of a question for me of any kind. That, still, is a technical problem. I don't see what I could offer. It's a website, and it behaves like any website. It's not special in any regard. There's no reason it shouldn't just print.

5 ... 6) That I know, nothing. However, as has been say way too many times in the past, that entire line of the games was basically pushed aside in favor of the hatted, more actiony, Super Star/animated series line of things.

7) ... What? You mean in Kirbypedia? Probably because, outside of not knowing what or anything about these foes, if I made a page, I'd rather make it complete to forgo any confusion of what pages are still needing final touches. Frankly, a wholly dead page is, indicated with a discolored link, is lot more favorable than thinking a page has information only to find it's just a picture and the words, "Info to come." That's my view on the matter, at least.

8) Pfft, do you think you'd get anything from me?

Hey, waitaminute, I'm beginning to think that he isn't the real me. I think it is pretty obvious how, too: I would know the answer to the question already.

And when your imitating the Ometon, you know its time to call it a day. Or a life. Well, I guess it wasn't much of one to start with...

Anyway, just like Bogg and Gooey, Ometon uses HSH to manipulate objects -- Homestar Hands.

1) And like I said then, they just seem like enemies to me. I've had countless times of saying that people look too deep into things to try to find similarities. You can find likenesses between any two things when you look and stretch far enough. I've heard it all before. I've read all those arguments. The thing is, they are still loose at best. I could compare them all to foes from Zelda and maybe even Super Mario Bros. Hell, Legacy of the Wizard could probably parallel them. When you get down to it, just like I said before, they are just enemies. Common, run of the mill, and designed to be like the classic baddies. It's a good fit, yes, but just because something has spikes doesn't make it Gordo.

2) Blah diddity bla-bla blah.

It's probably because the animated series isn't the game series. For some reason, the cartoon went with a rather obscure and unspectacular enemy as the standard folk rather than the oh-so common Waddle Dee. Dees, however, were made into the minions of King Dedede in that line of canon, so they couldn't be the unwitting towns people and the bad guys. Also, originally, it was a bunch of puffballs like Kirby in the crowd. Since Kirby was made more unique since the original game's creation, they had to switch it out without drastically changing it. The solution: use nearly identical Waddle Dees.

0) That's a pretty good possibility for T.A.C. However, it's sorta like spam e-mails being given a meaning for each of their letters, "stupid, pointless, annoying message", when really it was just a Monty Python skit. You can always go back and fill in the blanks, but, T.A.C. is just "cat" backwards. That's painfully apparent.

1)"Magical Sweeper" was found on the internet, but it was found on a Japanese site. Those list the text in Japanese characters. As of such, the English letters of the name only appeared when ran through Google's translator.

Squeaky Bogg, in Kirby Cosmic Chaos? That's not true, at least as far as I know. Those little green things, the Verdan, don't even really look like li'l Gobbo much. They have a single point and no tail to them. Plus, they grow up to the how's that fitting tall body structure. Now, if Bogg really is in the game, that'd be the first I've heard of it. Although, I'm pretty sure he ain't.

1) Kirby doesn't need a back story, in the games, at least. He's cute, he's round, and he eats stuff. That's all you need. Story never was the fine point of Kirby games. Sure, they like to put a twist near the end for a nice surprise, but a deeper, underlying story arch isn't something I think they'll do. They put that in the animated series, and the two, hopefully, shall remain separate.

2) Yes, that's the general spiel with Squeaky Bogg.

Spread the truth. It's a facade. Kirby is monster!

Hey... I'm supposed to be the evil one.

0) A bloated goat corpse is cooler than that piece of garbage "Sir" Meta Knight. Putting "Sir" before what use to be a meaningful name is what drove one of the greatest villains in video game history to being some type of joke and father figure. Before "Sir" Meta Knight came along, the pilot episode of the animated series placed the masked warrior on the side of Nightmare. Nightmare. The fact that you even pander to the horrendous naming convention displayed by the American dubbers of what already was a piece of garbage just puts further focus on your already lacking intelligence.

1) The vowel sound represented from Japanese with a U is said oo, like in food. Therefor, the land is unfortunately called "Poopoopoo Rando".

2) Even I, the nefarious evil Bogg, grow weary of this coming up. I'm vouching for blowing this tedium off since of you priorly page distorting over-use of letters in that last laugh. Looks like the true last laugh is had by myself in exposing your incompetence and belitting you to all the audience Ask the Gurus receives. May you never show your face again.

1) By Glod, what you going to do? Just ask what every possible foe did in the animated series? Watch the damn thing already. Squishy was, big shock, a monster fought by Kirby. It use to be sushi but grew into a big bad with electrical powers because jellyfish are apparently easily confused with mollusks.

2) Death isn't a horrible thing like that in Kirby, or any video game. It's more of a "pop" and gone. No blood, no mess. It's almost adorable.

3) You don't like to see anything wrong? You don't like to see anything wrong? That explains a lot since you obviously don't look at what you type. Sweet Pete, you dump more typos than I could manage typing with my feet. And I don't even have toes! Regardless, it seems you really didn't care to what you were commenting upon. Mention of Sonic & the Black Knight came up only from Prophallus, and the only wrong he did was plural Knight. If you only added an S to the strings you call words, people might be able to understand what you're typing.

4) Sonic fans pushed, but a bigger push came back. Truthfully, "SHWDW PWNS" has come back a number of times, but every time there's already enough idiotic comments flying around to have to unleash that one. I'm evil and hate Bimblesnaff and all, but even a heartless creation has its limits.

5) Kirby official artwork comes from Japan, for the most part, land of everything video game related. Magazines, booklets, and what have you. And, um... you're ugly! There, that met the heel quota for that response.

Challenged? Seriously, on Dream Land of all things? I wrote the book on Kirby's Dream Land, by which I mean was solely responsible for the Kirbypedia entries. Okay, maybe not two or three of them. I would blow you off, but I want to rub your face in it.

1) In the game, Kirby was technically cream spinach green as the game did not have color. White was only how he appeared on the American cover of the game. Sakurai had wanted him to be pink, which is how he appeared over seas, but since the decision was held up with Miyamoto's counter color argument of yellow, game art came out with a neutral white on this side of the Pacific. So, he was pink. Gee, you're questioning my knowledge of Kirby? You're question wasn't even right.

2) Whispy Woods has gone to reappear in almost all Kirby titles, including the non-platformer adventures, with the most notable exceptions of Amazing Mirror and Squeak Squad. All in all, an impressive resumé. Kracko, too, has had similar success with his numerous appearances in a mountain of titles and an evil twin, just like Whispy. King Dedede has only not appeared in one Kirby title, Amazing Mirror, which is a factor that gives Waddle Dee the edge in total appearances. Lololo & Lalala do not need any more than their two appearances, rightfully counted if excluding repeated games, since they have an entire game line of their own in Eggerland. The lastly mentioned boss of the game, Kaboola, has had, in addition to this first title, appearances in Block Ball and now Super Star Ultra, precisely appearing in Revenge of the King.

3) False, Kirby did not copy abilities in Dream Land I. He did, however, utilize effects of objects eaten. This was not integration but merely making use of the item. Since you ask about those later, I'll save the spiel for then.

4) Hah! Oh, man, you are so full of yourself. First, by right, Kaboola is referred to in the feminine form. All real old school Kirby fans know such. She was trumped with use of a super charged Mint Leaf that did not expire after the normally short period of time. And, as already stated, her appearance in Super Star Ultra was preceded by an appearance in Block Ball. Of course, you could mean that there was a lack of blimp boss in Super Star in your words. Somethin' tells me that ain't the case, tho'.

5) Kirby didn't have abilities in Dream Land I. Sure, we can look back and give them that name in retrospect, but they were not. No, they were standard video game power-ups and items. These included: Mike (screen clearer), Candy (invincibility), Spicy Food (infinite ammo), Mint Leaf (permanent flight), and Bomb (mega shot).

And I did that all without cheating and looking back to see what I already wrote about them. Dream Land is my Kirby game of choice. I've played through that one wholly more than any other game. The audacity you had to come here and test me on my knowledge of such is actually insulting. Be warned, anyone else who wants to pull such a stunt!

What if they ask about a newer game?

E- Don't give them my weakness!

Yeah, hi, Rgijaba, or at least individual within the same IP address as 'Jabby. Yep, I know it's you. I guess the watcher is being watched, huh? In case you haven't noticed, which it is apparant that few do, a harsher tone is had with those who get on my nerves. Truthfully, a stilled tongue is taken to all folks, excluding this session where all went to pot, so, outside of this, I really don't get that "rude" humor thing. That sounds more like something Howard Stern would pull.

Anyways, the story of how Guru Gobbo is a boring as picking up slack. Of the four legs of Project R.A.I.N.B.O.W. that were performed, I volunteered for three of them since, really, no one else wanted to. Hm.

But, I agree with you, the answers are on the boring side. They use to be large and informative pieces but, well, how well do you think you'd hold up after sixty days nearly straight of getting questions about when Kirby Wii was coming out?
