Video Game Chat / Re: Whos Cuter?

Lumas are cutest.  It doesn't matter which one; they all follow the recipe for pure cuteness.

The cutest thing they do is go, "TRANS-FOOOORM!"  Or, "Snack-a-dee, snack-a-do... SNACK-A-DIDDLY DOOO!"  The accompanying squeaks are irresistible.

Hey, the Bunny ears were cool.

Definitely.  They're one of my favorite power-ups, actually, and the one I'd also hope to get during roulette.  Still, they are undeniably weird--not necessarily a bad thing...

And the "P" stands for "para???"  That's not nearly as cool as "power."

If only this poll would have been here two years ago... I haven't touched this game in a long time.

I liked the music from Sky Garden, and the stage overall had good color.  As far as racing it goes, the rail-less edges made things fun, with a few good shortcuts in there.  At the same time, the puffy clouds along the edges slowed you down--so it actually is pretty rare to fall off during the normal course of a race.

All in all, it's a very magical course.  'Reminds me a bit of the cloud world in SMRPG (which was also very fun).

I beat the game today.  Yay!  There were two family members and a kid from the neighborhood in the room during the final battle.  They were very annoying!

Thank you for allowing the retraction of votes.  Here's my tentative five:

Tanooki Suit	Flying; statue power; looks cool--even the king agrees...
Frog Suit	Secrets... Oh, and the king has something to say about this one, too...
Kuribo's Shoe	Rare!  Powerful!  Indestructible (bottom side only)!
Blue Shell	This item's drawback is what makes it fun.
Bee Suit	Mostly for looks and originality... And the buzzing.

An excellent way to find out what version you have is to wear the zora tunic when defeating him. If red, you have the orignal. If blue, the second edition. Green, in ever other subsequent release.

Hey, cool!  I knew about red vs. green blood--but changing with the color of the tunic... ?  Have you confirmed this yourself?

Did anyone else find the final battle music didn't match up with the rest of the soundtrack?  I'm not saying it's a bad thing...

My favorite song was the cave song, though.  \o/  I used to fall asleep to that song...

My answer has already been mentioned and re-mentioned by people who didn't catch it the first time around, so I'll show some restraint and not be the 12th person to say "bunny ears."  Some other power-ups that crossed my mind include:  the Koopa shell (NSMB), the frog suit, and--oh!  If power-ups from YI can be included, just about everything in that game is weird... Transforming Yoshi into a train?  Wha--?
