Game Plans

Sundays:

A set of games I can play while watching the other streamers on the multistream and interacting with chat. Must fit the format of shorter (2-hour) streams.

 

  • Donkey Kong Bananza

  • Picross S (when I need a break: S2)

  • Power Wash Simulator (between games)

Choice Games:

A set of games I really want to play, whether by express choice or a sense of obligation. Twitch viewers can populate this with a points redemption. Presently, I am finishing series that I started earlier and then gained further access to series entries after finishing the set.

This set is on Mondays & Saturdays.

 

  • Final Fantasy

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong

  • Klonoa: Empire of Dreams

  • The Legend of Zelda

  • Metroid (current: Prime)

  • Pokemon
  • Wonder Boy

Event Games/Etc.:

Games and other streams voted on by the community for certain events. Most often, this is for annual events such as my Twitch Affiliate anniversary and my streaming anniversary, or as a break between finishing game series. There can be more of these if Twitch subscription milestones are hit.

 

  • Between Twitch series: model building
  • First Saturday monthly: Hollow Knight Randomizer
  • Affiliate Anniversary/Birthday: Poll

 

MIDDLE-ROW EMERALD RUSH

 

Donkey Kong Bananza - https://youtu.be/xRFJmx50eIc

 

Some of these perks are a lot better than others.


Overall, the perks that use Bananzas are probably stronger than others, but I never remember to use a Bananza even if I have it, so I will probably avoid grabbing those perks if I can do so. Most perks boost output from defeating foes, but that's where the majority of emeralds come from anyway. However, I noticed one ability word that boosts output regardless of source: "Groove." Anything with that word will boost all emeralds obtained, and Turf Groove (turf surf) is by far the easiest to grind, especially on DK Island. Therefore, in most cases, I'll be going for the Groove perks (particularly Turf Groove) if at all possible.


The fact that you only get 15 minutes for a ten-round Rush is kinda funny, because all the times that the game pauses means that I actually take over half an hour for each. That's also why I have to quit after two hours of gameplay, no matter how far past those two hours I am: I don't want to be late for evening church.


Another thing I started doing on this stream was going for bananas at the beginning. For the first 50 seconds, you don't get a goal, so you may as well grab skill bananas rather than just wandering around looking for emeralds. The first goal is painfully easy to make and bananas give you emeralds anyway. Also, I noticed in the last round that my gold-grinding technique of Charge Punch is actually less effective for emeralds than just completing more goals, so I'm probably never doing that again.
