Granted, it may not actually be Kamek as this Magikoopa's name is different in Japanese, but the similarities are strong enough. Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island had come out a year prior, with Kamek’s firstĪppearance, and apparently, reading his Magikoopa’s thoughts reveals that he’s Wear off when they’re given a good beating in an RPG. Surprise, surprise… everyone knows that any negative effects on a character Magikoopa can’t last forever, so it’s defeated and the brainwashing wears off. Powerful, almost like they could have been mini-bosses themselves. This Magikoopa’s shtick is to summonĪdditional monsters from time to time, many of which are actually surprisingly Magikoopa who’s been brainwashed by Smithy. Team some special items when they get to the end…Īt least Kamek didn't turn that dragon giant, there's that.įinally, after completing four trials, we encounter a Imaginative there’s even a shout-out to the original Donkey Kong game… butĬan’t I just move forward now? Well, at least each trial awards Mario and his I mean, the puzzles are clever, the battle sections are good EXP, and the platforming parts can be That is only the second-to-last, between two big dungeons, it just feels like Clearly Square-Enix had fun setting up these portions,Īnd wants you to see more than half of them, but in the middle of a dungeon Oh, and you have toĬomplete four of them. That meshes so well with an RPG two are puzzle sections two are battle sections. Two are “action” courses reminiscent of Mario platformers, because You soon get to six doors, each having a differentĬhallenge. God knows we haven’t had enough of those yet! The enemies met at the start of the game in the Keep have been replaced by much tougher versions. Now that’sĪnd so we get to Bowser’s Keep! Yup, yet anotherĭungeon.
