    Aside the obvious "oh Emile" bit of not getting twins can be non-identical and assuming they would be made fat deliberately, there's a bit of unstated comedy gold in young Emile apparently not getting how that statement made him disliked for the rest of the school year

      @@Pikachu2Ash It’s less a fear and more an issue of nerves. From one of his water park stories with Jon and Tim, Emile has a tendency to psych himself out of wanting to go on rides if he’s in line for too long. If the line is short or non-existent, such intrusive thoughts don’t have time to take root and convince him to back out.

    There's a level in a later world that has the bonus room layout seen in Precarious Plateau right after a checkpoint. It is _the_ place to farm for lives and coins due to its high repeatability and ease of access.
    Missed puzzle pieces: 51 (3 new)
    6-4 In a flower in one of the hills with boulders rolling from the background; Tim specifically chose not to bother with this flower, which was probably a wise decision in the long run.
    6-5 Toward the end of the level behind the Rambi blocks; bring Rambi all the way from the beginning to get to it.
    6-5 Just before the end of the level; you get a reward for collecting all bananas in each ring, with the last one being a puzzle piece.

    Holy crap, Emile's always got excellent stories but this one was one of the best. Happy birthday to you, Emile, and a belated happy birthday to Tim.
    Emile launching himself off while trying to blow is probably the best summary of this game's clunky controls... I need to give it another go when I can to re-experience them myself, maybe I just didn't use blowing very often because while I remember the game kicking my ass I chalked it up to me being bad at games (and also being like, 10). Regardless of the controls it still seems like a fun platformer with a great setting, World 6's environments continue to impress as they did when I played through it long ago. Unrelated, but I've also listened to Fush Yu Mang by Smash Mouth at Jon's recommendation from the Mario Party 8 LP, like with Astro Lounge... Smash Mouth's early albums really are good.
