Expresso was never flightless to begin with.
I hope Nintendo is cycling through these monthly events, because I missed the first few while I was still playing the game normally. I don’t want the cycle to be too short because then I’ll start hitting those repeats well before getting towards the end, and I’m still not even halfway there in terms of points. I’ve got plenty of time.
I’m not certain that I’m really getting much of a bonus for doing difficulty levels I haven’t completed before, but the extra check mark is nice, at least. Once I’ve finished all the levels that aren’t too hard for me, it’s back to DK Island for some level 6 rampages. That’s definitely getting me the most points of all my efforts. It’s just way more boring, in my opinion, which is another reason why I’m only playing this game once a month. Emerald Rush is fine, but I wish there wasn’t so much of a grind to unlock everything. I’d much rather just have it done so I can play other games.
