Come on Cranky, take it to the bin!
"
Fail Awards? You want to talk about the real Fail Awards? It's the sad things you whippersnappers think pass for an award these days! Favorite Extra Mode? Back in my day, there was no such thing as extra modes! We just had the main game, and that's all we needed! Have you seen how long it takes these young'uns to make one game these days? Nevermind how much space they take up! It's ridiculous! Why, if I were in charge... "
On second thought, I may have picked the wrong person to outsource writing this year's Fail Awards opener to... Let's run this one back from the beginning.
"Oops". Now there's a word that's part of the universal human experience! If you've never made a flub or two (dozen), or hoped something would land that very much did not, well... I'd say teach me your ways, but I'm guessing there's no one in that category who also answered the question honestly. The good news is, you're in good company! Even the multi-billion dollar corporation with 45 years of experience now developing the world of the funny plumber man has its fair share of big goofs. So now it's once again time to poke them with a stick!
"
And another thing, Favorite Game Mechanic? Why are we celebrating this overcomplicated nonsense? In my day, all you needed was to move left and right, jump, and climb ladders! It was perfect! Who ever got it in their skull it was a good idea to add more? "
Oh. He's still in the building.
"
Don't even get me started on all those character awards you've got! "
You'll have to excuse him, folks. He's old.
