iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

-the berry that the ones carry in the yoshi’s adventure queue is currently present but no pikmin yet -almost half of these were installed within the last two weeks -the ones in/out of the store interestingly are unique molds, they don’t exist in USJ or USH

170

couple tidbits: -epic has the most pikmin out of all the parks with the inclusion of the ones in the nintendo super star store -most figures are almost in the exact same spot but seem to have been intentionally moved a little so that you can get much closer to them (USJ vs Epic)

160

(the ones getting crushed by the boulder in the DK arcade mural are present but the express queue does not get to see it. but it’s identical to USJ’s)

160

EXCLUSIVE (unless somehow this was someone else’s top priority): all pikmin currently in universal epic universe (thread)

14516

(Also please don't let the only fan game I have allowed myself to get hyped for get cancelled. Thankfully it seems to be a solo dev and he's regularly giving updates on new stuff so hopefully there can't be any drama or whacky shenanigans lol)

But no real gripes, only points off is just demo jank and stuff like a lot of sounds being reused (something I also assume will change at full release) Tried 2 before this after watching Dawko's 1st ep on 3 but this is basically a remake so dropped it (also made in Scratch lol)

100

Character mechanics are kind of a mixed bag, I find ones like W. Freddy to be way too demanding which kind of goes against the gimmick imo. T. Freddy also seems like he is designed to be Death Coin'd which is lame, I have no idea how you could do him legit on harder difficulties.

100

Biggest thing this has going for it is the super charming art style. The office setup is pretty simple, it's basically the 3 office + 1 doors + 6 vents. To compensate, it adds the gimmick of choosing your own roster, where you get choose the characters to salvage for next night.

13. Five Nights at Frickbear's 3 (Demo) - 8.5/10 Kind of beautiful that when this fully releases we're going to have to tout a game called "Frickbear's" as one of the best fangames. But I guess we did that with DSAF more or less.

120

Also I adore that Trash and the Gang are incredibly plot relevant and prevalent throughout presumably because they are literally trash and easy to make/move around lol. Very weird that Circus Baby is played by a person though.

12. First Night at Freddy’s: A FNAF the Musical Movie - 6.5/10 Largely incomprehensible but clear time and love was put in. Highlight is by far Glitchtrap, all his dialogue is so bad that it’s good. Ground Zero is the only song I somewhat enjoyed and it is the opening 😭

11. Ernest & Celestine - 8.5/10 Incredibly charming and cozy, yet simultaneously fairly depressing lol. The premise is nothing special but it’s presented in such an interesting lens that it manages to make it feel unique. Phenomenal score and love some beautiful 2D animation.

Honestly, very whatever season (and seemingly series) finale. I think the first half and its midseason finale were just so well done that this just felt much lower stakes/impactful in comparison. “Ride Along” was my probably my favorite of this batch, very funny.

100

Enjoyed how this handled Lunella and her relationship with her family evolving. My only real gripe is that after they work through each family member, it feels like they kind of ran out of steam before wanting to set up the finale so we get a couple cliché/filler eps in-between.

100

10. Moon Girl and Devil Dinsoaur (2nd half of S2) - 8/10 Really depressing how Disney has mishandled this by both a cutting episode and giving it a terrible release schedule but thankfully the show still holds up.

100

9. Parisian Romance - 8/10 I always really enjoy Lofi Girl’s seasonal stuff and I’m pretty sure this was the first Valentine’s Day themed one? Very cute and chill vibes, I also appreciate how many artists get featured on these. “When I fell for you.” is my favorite.

100

Also the lore for this album is insane??? It was genuinely written for plants and only distributed through a single houseplant store and a Sears. Wasn’t made available through streaming services until 2019, even though it released in 1976.

100

8. Mother Earth’s Plantasia - 8.5/10 Really unique sound, especially for its time. Scratches a retrofuturistic vibe for me. Pleasant mix of somber, cosmic sounding songs and just very goofy ones, “Plantasia” compared to “You Don’t Have to Walk a Begonia” highlights this well.

100

Probably better off running back a couple tracks occasionally than regular album listenings. “Michan Going To The Hoikuen” also really annoys me lol. There’s a couple of really cool parts but so much of it is random dialogue and noises.

100

“In The Space” is the closest it gets after but it dips in and out, “Motion” is fine too. This puts this album in a weird position where it is a couple of bangers intermixed with pleasant (and sometimes just kind of weird) background noise.

100

7. Optical Sunrise/Spectrum2 - 7/10 This is a weirder album which usually means it grows on me but this one has become stagnant. “F L Y” is absolutely phenomenal but the rest of the album just doesn’t feel like it tries remotely as hard as it.

100

apologies for not being as active as i sought out to be on here, i surprisingly am getting better at using social media less. but got the opportunity to do something cool :) i will prolly wait until park open to post a big thread abt it and add media thread entries tho. but overall positive stuff.

020

yooo this is sick been wanting to play mother 3 lately and was thinking of doing it on 3DS for a more handheld experience but yours definitely wins lol

Overall just frustrated that HWS has way more available real estate to replace (Star Tours, Animation Courtyard, Launch Bay) but somehow Jim Henson’s final project was chosen as the most expendable. Not to mention the only Muppets rep will now be an overlay for an existing ride.

The preshow alone is practically its own attraction, like a 15 minute series of gags coupled with a bunch of visual jokes surrounding everything. Disney is for sure going to throw this on Disney+ and call it doing justice but that will be missing out on so much of the experience.

6. Muppet*Vision 3D (Reride) - 10/10 I’ll log this now just in case I don’t get to make an additional trip before its closure but this obviously phenomenal. Brilliant combination of a movie, animatronics, live actor, and practical effects.

100

Like basically everything NK does, I’m sure in a couple updates they’ll get this sorted enough to be in a better state. Again I do really like the idea, it’s uniquely almost a sequel to BTD 6, but it feels really muddled right now. Will come back to eventually or if super bored

100

The $10 price point has been somewhat contested but intially I didn’t mind it, base game BTD 6 is severely underpriced for the time I’ve gotten out of it. But I understand why people would be against it, especially with this in its current state.

100

The artifacts are kind of interesting but most feel like they have little impact. I have to imagine mathematically most just balance out anyways, like it will be halved damage but double attack speed. What’s the point lol.

100

Gameplay feels super hard but that’s pretty much just because it’s difficult to get enough monkeys to cover all damage types but once you do the difficulty never really increases. Stages don’t seem to get harder either which makes them feel even more pointless.

5. BTD 6 Rouge Legends DLC - 6.5/10 This is a really interesting premise that I enjoyed the idea of more than I thought I would, but in its current state it’s just super underwhelming. A run is broken up into 5 stages that take like a hour each just due to excessive padding

100

‪Love the way this manages to fit in all the routes, the multiple instances of the start theme are really cool. Seeing how weirder parts of songs like “Your Best Nightmare” are translated was also very fun.‬ ‪Genuinely only gripe is that no “Ghost Fight” or “Dogsong” is lame lol.‬

The Undertale soundtrack is beautiful but I’ve heard it so many times that I think lost some of its magic over time, but hearing it in an orchestral setting really cements that it’s just one of the greatest soundtracks ever.

NickDroid @nickdroid.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

4. Undertale 5th Anniversary Concert - 10/10 Sheer dread of me thinking this was like a year ago when it has almost been 5 aside, I’m glad I finally got around to listening to this because it’s phenomenal.

100

I was planning to keep up with season 2 as the rest of it aired but Common Side Effects just started and Moon Girl has randomly revived itself so I may just wait until the whole thing drops. But honestly I don’t feel super intrigued to continue, the synopsis of S2 eps are weird.

100

5-7 are the series’s peak, it takes time to explore its characters after it took a bit to find its footing. Really I just hate how moody everyone always is, a lot of conflict just comes from characters getting super mad or not explaining themselves or randomly revealing baggage.

100

‪ 3. School Spirits (S1) (Rewatch) - 7/10 I REALLY liked this the first time I watched it and on rewatch I am convinced it was largely because Peyton List is pretty lol. Starts off super slow and the finale twist is entirely based on a mechanic of its world that has no setup.
