Fallen AU - Planet Shroob
Tumblr media
Here is the barren wasteland all the Earthlings are dropped off at. The Shroobs basically told them “good luck” and never looked back.
This is Planet Shroob. It is without a moon and the 7th planet away from the Xivis Star. The planet is outside the warmth zone the Star provides; life was able to exist since the Xivis Star was brighter and hotter so many years ago. Now, many life processes exist independent of the Xivis Star like chemotrophs taking advantage of chemical compounds to survive. Planet Sunnycide is just inbetween the life zone (basically land-locked).
There are three sides to the planet. The first is the bottom which is the safest and served as the Shroobs’ Castle for centuries. Countless bloody wars were fought over the fertile farmland at the bottom. When the Shroobs United under one leader, the fighting stopped. There is still some fertile soil left, so if you get shoved off here you’re in good hands. Most likely you can survive here for generations.
The sides are the Jade Ocean. It was once a vast and vibrant ocean made of fresh Vim. Having been completely drained, all that remains is the treacherous ocean floor. If you land here, chances are you’re very dead. No coming back from that.
On the top is a wide variety of climates. The perimeter has the Veenoria Beach which is pretty safe with soft and compact sand. It is a beautiful coral color. Any Earthlings that land here have a 99.99% survival rate (this is where the Baby Bros land). But there’s not much soil to grow stuff nor creatures to hunt. Heading up to the top is dangerous. Heading to the bottom means crossing the Jade Ocean.
If you go further top, you’re in the Mycotoxia Dunes. While sorta safe for landing, it is very dangerous yet gorgeous. Further in is the Xivis Mountain Range; if you land there you are extremely dead. That is since the ground is rocky and there are spikes everywhere (Fawful lands at the edge where the Veenoria Beach intersects the desert; he still should be dead yet he isn’t).
Further up you have Mountain Amanita. It is named after the Shroob Goddess who the Shroobs respect as the being who created them. It is the tallest mountain on the planet, the peak rises hundreds of feet above the heavens. It is at the very top of the planet. If you travel there, you can survey space.
Moving on, you have the Fungal Forest and Valley. While extremely fertile soil, it is dangerous thanks to its high density of toxic plants and mysterious predators in search for Earthlings to hunt. Further out is the Clawden Craters - these are not as deep as trenches in Jade Ocean, but are still dangerous.
Description for each terrain from drawing:
Mycotoxia Dunes
Pink sand
Ancient Shroob Runes
Hasn’t rained in centuries
Covered in dust storms
Crystal Caves
Crystals float upwards
Has rich but rare oasises
Saccharomyces Flatlands
Violet soil, very soft
Overused soil is gray
Used to be farming land that fed the Shroobs for millennia
Usually rains
Lots of monsters
Safest part of planet
Everyone fought over this for centuries
Fungal Forest/Valley
Fertile soil and toxic plants
Shroobigos wander here
Trees as tall as some mountains
Lots of biodiversity
Blue flowing trees
Rain flows upwards, thunderstorms
Mountain Amanita
Tallest mountain on planet
Peak rises above atmosphere
Has an observatory
Coldest spot on planet
Xivis Mountain Range
Site for abandoned bases
Valley is hot whole peaks are cool
Furious winds - powerful storms are common
Veenoria Beach
Halfway point between top and bottom half of planet
Soft and compact sand
Coral sand
Pretty safe yet dry
Clawden Craters
Deep chasms
Underground temples and forests
Incredibly hot and humid
Has magma flowing
Jade Oceans
Dried out
Trenches lead to planet’s core
Dry and hot
Full of toxic sludge
Having fast travel on the planet would be pretty nice.
As the Shroobs left their dying homeworld, some nature has returned. Baby Mario and co. (Baby Luigi, Stuffwell, Fawful) encounter abandoned villages, temples, towns, bases, and cities now overgrown with vegetation. There are also rival Earthlings trying to survive. If it’s not the planet or Shroob creatures going after Baby Mario and co, it’s Earthlings fighting for resources/power and screwing others over. Some hotspots are the Flatlands and Clawden Craters. Others want Mt. Amanita. There’s also abandoned Shroob tech everywhere.
It is a shitshow.

Super Princess Peach 2 electric boogaloo
What a surprise, and here I thought Peach was a one and done deal but nope, she got a sequel to her game on the 3ds, the problem is it is a Japanese exclusive game. Developed again by Tose and published by Nintendo and released in 2017, I only found out about it by finding a copy in a local swap meet (the power of swap meets ladies and gentlemen). What caught my eye was the back of the box which after translating it says that Peach and other princesses are playable and yeah the box doesn't lie. The other playable princesses are Daisy, Rosalina, Shroob (weird), a Bowsette-like princess but with red hair and tan like skin, Queen Merelda and Princess Shokora (from Wario Land 4), with a secret playable character being Pauline. So let us see if this sequel is worth releasing outside of Japan or should it stay there like Captain Rainbow.
PLOT (no spoilers)   As Mario and Luigi are off to battle against Bowser when suddenly a new baddie comes out of nowhere named Captain Command who takes over Peach's castle and has her take far away from her kingdom. As Peach wakes up in a strange land she then has to go on an odyssey to get back and overthrow the usurper from the Mushroom Kingdom and take back the throne. Along said adventure, you pass by other familiar kingdoms and pass by a few familiar places and faces such as the ones mentioned in the first segment, the reason is Cap. Command took over these kingdoms on his way to become the king of the world.
GAMEPLAY   It is the same for Peach as the previous game the only differences are the genre,  which is a sort of goofy beat 'em up combined with platforming elements, and how the heart works. For one thing, they cost jewels (about 2 jewels) and it is for everyone (I'll explain in a bit) and it only lasts for a few seconds so you can't spam the move since there is a limit on how many jewels you have (which can be upgraded, same with health, in the store to have more but not enough to cheese the game). There is also a playing difference with the other characters from the intro. (Note that Peach is the standard character) There is Daisy, who is a bit faster and a bit stronger than Peach but jumps the same height as her. Then there is Rosalina, who is slower and not as strong as Peach but can jump higher than Peach and can summon a Luma to attack more. Next up, Princess Shroob who is more effective in ranger attacks but sucks at close combat. Coming up is the surprise of Princess Zilla (the Bowsette-like girl) who attacks multiple enemies with her attacks and is decent in single combat. The other one is Princess Shokora, who can transform into a cat, a few weird beasts and Mr.Game&Watch (who I guess is Mrs.Game&Watch but whatever) which can cause some status effects similar to the Wario Land games (ie balloon, get set on fire, etc). Coming up is Queen Merelda who when finishing an attack will drop more coins at the of an attack but is a risk and reward character for being a bit frailer. Finally, there is Pauline who is a bit of a mixed bag, a sort of mid-range close quarters fighter (possibly because of living in the Bronx).
  Now, remember the hearts I mentioned, yeah they are completely different. For starters, the orange heart gives you a floaty jump, the red heart makes you stronger, blue heart makes you faster and the green heart gives you more defense, each one lasting about 5 to 7 seconds and costs 2 jewels (you start off with 6 jewels but can upgrade it to 16 jewels) and you can pick up jewels from defeated enemies which can sometimes drop mushrooms at time (the 3 are the normal mushroom which gives you health, the mini mushroom which makes you lose some defense and strength but can jump higher, become faster and find secrets, and the mega mushroom which makes you bigger which can also break certain areas to unlock secrets, stronger and better defense but become slower), the other items are stars, which gives you invincibility, a purple New Donk Coin (which if every coin is collected unlocks New Donk city to unlock Pauline: Note that there is 1 purple coin in all  levels excluding the bosses), and finally Toad, yes Toad, who works as he does in smash where you get a free pass on recieving damage and thus counters the enemy who attacked you.
Likes The beat-em-up aspects of the game are rather addicting, it is fun to combo an enemy and how the combo animations are very goofy yet "ladylike" for a Nintendo Princess, there are also a few mini games (like the previous one) that are ok, but they do help you earn a few figurines and different costumes for each character, and I like the little descriptions  for each character explaining their first appearance.
Dislikes Sometimes the secret areas to get the purple coins is too vague, there are hints but they don't explain it too well, not to mention once you get all the upgrades and figures they still give you a lot of money at the end of a stage but nothing to spend it on, and online play is very very laggy, it's best to play it locally if you can find anyone to play it that is. Also getting a high rank is incredibly hard since the game is very strict on what you did well and gets very stingy with damage taken and time left over, I mostly got C's and B's and the only time I got an AA rank (which isn't the highest rank its Crown) was the first level.
Verdict So is this game worth forking over 40 bucks plus shipping and handling I would say Yes, but... The game is rather fun, hell there is future DLC planned to include a few Zelda princesses like Zelda (duh), Toon Zelda (ok), Ruto, and that one princess from Triforce of Heroes, so anyone in Japanse who bought it must think so but jeez does this game expect perfection to get any higher ranks and I wish there were other ways to use the money you collected but considering how fun it is, I still say it is worth it but If your one to complete games, well good luck with that. Thanks for reading.
