EPISODE 224 SUPER MARIO: OIRAM'S INVASTION youtu.be/iqqrmL2pBKQ It's another short SMW Hack adventure as we navigate another game with a "Small Mario Challenge" no power-ups except for the final level. Can we defeat Oiram and master another game in Retro Achievements? #YouTube

EPISODE 223 VANILLA: MADE TO ORDER youtu.be/osiZSguFk9Q It's time for another SMW Hack adventure, checking out another short game with creative levels, and yet another "Small Mario Challenge" to complete each level with no power-ups! What could possibly go wrong?! #YouTube

Oh, wow!!! 👀 I never knew Yoshi’s Safari for the SNES ever had any kind of merch! These are so cool!!!

EPISODE 222 MONTEY MOLE ISLAND youtu.be/WAZTWmcrenE We've experienced life as a Cheep-Cheep a while back so now it's time for a short adventure as a Monty Mole! 😂 It's a fun SMW Hack where we survive with the added challenge of no power-ups for most of the levels! 😬 #Youtube

RA MASTERY #158 Duck Hunt is a NES classic introducing the Nintendo Zapper and the iconic dog and ducks with those nostalgic sound effects. I took this one on using the mouse, much easier for me, but those 20 rounds, no miss, perfect achievements was INSANELY difficult! 🥲

RA MASTERY #157 So... M A R I O... It's a SMW Hack that exists I guess... 😂🤣 I'm honestly not sure what I even played, I expected a bit more, but it had 6, 1-Point achievements to earn so we did that much. Yeah, I don't know... Enjoy it for the Creepypasta I guess. 👻

EPISODE 221 M A R I O youtu.be/O-cZn8mKW58 Happy Halloween!!! 👻🎃 For the occasion we're checking out a short SMW Hack that may be everything I didn't expect for Halloween. 🤣 Will we survive, or will this be the most random nonsense we've ever played?! #YouTube

Since I have an #Evercade now thanks to @TheNerdyHippies, I was able to grab a copy of the N64 classics Banjo-Kazooie & Banjo-Tooie! I’m actually surprised these games got rereleased, but I’m super happy they did and apparently with some small updates too! 👀🐻🦜

EPISODE 220 LUIGI'S MANSION (PART 3) youtu.be/bTg4yoOfMdw It's the salty finale as we complete "The Hidden Mansion" and fight for survival, which has been the theme of this playthrough apparently. 🤣😅 As rough as it's been, can we earn a few more cheevos & complete the game?

Halloween is this weekend; I’ll be working but wanted to post a little something for the occasion. 👻🎃 Ghostbusters is another one of my favorites, from the cartoons throughout my childhood to enjoying the movies when I got older. Definitely got me interested in the paranormal.

EPISODE 219 LUIGI'S MANSION (PART 2) youtu.be/RX4msa3WLSc Continuing what's probably the worst playthrough of Luigi's Mansion ever, though it is The Hidden Mansion, we fight for survival! Maybe, just maybe, we'll earn an achievement this time around for our troubles. 🤣

EPISODE 218 LUIGI'S MANSION youtu.be/pfEFM6De8xI Around this time last year I completed the initial playthrough of Luigi's Mansion. Now we return to take on "The Hidden Mansion" for the first time, essentially New Game+ but I have a feeling this will not be an easy run. 😅

RA MASTERY #156 I had mastered Pokemon LeafGreen back in February 2025 but it received a hefty revision later that year requiring another playthrough. So while working on that, it was a great opportunity to take on the Professor Oak Challenge subset and master that, what a grind!

RA MASTERY #155 Donkey Kong Country 2 is probably my favorite game on the SNES! While I love the series, this game definitely packed a punch & mastering this in RA was definitely a challenge at times. From earning 102% completion in "Hard Mode" to a speedrun, we got the job done!

EPISODE 217 DONKEY KONG COUNTRY 2 (PART 5) youtu.be/aWeyP5tsR9Q After the "Hard Mode" collect-a-thon and a speedrun of the game, it's time for the finale as the remaining Retro Achievements challenges are taken on! The most difficult RA challenges are just ahead! #YouTube
