Mime Time
At the store the other day I saw an endcap of toys for the new Pokemon Presents: Detective Pikachu Movie and this MEGA Construx model of Mr. Mime called to me. It seemed like a nice relaxing activity plus Mr. Mime is easily one of my favorite Pokemon. A lot of Pokemon are really endearing critters but Mr. Mime stands out. Its just such a stark contrast to most any other Pokemon; it almost seems like its creation was a mistake. The idea of this total idiot wandering around in a open field within the Kanto region, pretending to be resting against a lamp post, with no other interest than being harmlessly obnoxious gets a lot of bonus points over any other ‘Mon for me. Im not much of a Poke-master so I can’t really say if Mr. Mime is ever very useful, but ill always aim to have it on my team.
I’ve seen the Detective Pikachi movie, and its fine, but Mr. Mimes brief scenes steal the entire show. I doubt I would have ever acquired a ticket if Mr. Mime did not show up in the trailers. Congrats Mr. Mime, on moving a handful of units all on your own — but I doubt its looking for acclaim.
Kirby Adv.: World 8 Fountain of Dreams ~Finale~
The final “world” is actually just the final boss stage and is housed within the hub of World 7, but it has its own introduction. You fight to get the star-rod back from King Dedede who then realizes Kirbs is the only one who could handle the TRUE final boss! Which is some guy that looks like Waluigi. Its an odd final battle because its unlike much of the rest of the game — the first phase is a horizontal shooter and then you battle as Kirby again in a more traditional manner. Once completed we can assume dreams return to all the critters of Dreamland and nighty-nite sleepin’ tight!
Kirby Adv.: Rainbow Resort World 7
On the shores of the orange ocean is the Rainbow Resort, which despite its name actually features a lot of nighttime levels where a rainbow wouldnt even occur. But its pretty jazzy and vibrant none the less, and has some of the most unique elements of any of the worlds. Went real hog-wild on this one they did.
Kirby Adv.: World 6 Orange Ocean
The Orange Ocean world starts out in tune with the concept, very orange. But then just goes all squirrely and tosses in an random ice stage and green/grey areas. It does have a real cool pirate ship area however.
