And I reached my goal, a ton of checks were sent out

Also, shockingly close to finishing. You all might get showered in items and checks soon.

Currently enjoying the side-effects of the Archipelago

One world plus the final dungeon and I'm done. Surely that'll be doable somehow.

Been doing surprisingly well. The critical checks mostly blocked party members so some creative routing was needed.

Since I'm playing an RPG the order of checks is fairly open. It's quite possible I got useful stuff in my world sitting somewhere

@Bridget If you haven't used a lot of things yet you could always find out where that check is. Might be able to work around it with others.

If you use a hint we can learn where that is

Quick Change? Oh my.

@Themoonisacheese Shoe is collected, enjoy no longer being barefoot

@Themoonisacheese Want me to go there right now?

Feel free to save up.

The Star Pieces are super low priority.

@Ronan I can trade them in for items in a shop. I have not yet visited said shop though so I do not know how much I will need to rely on them

This is awkward.

Mega Rush already? Geez Hunter, you are spoiling me

@murgatroid99 Yep, it worked. Thanks!

Or maybe I got the timezones wrong again

@murgatroid99 I checked the sign-up page, can't seem to find the file I need. Does it show on your end?

Didn't know there's a server for this community

I guess worst case I'd just have to request the appm64 being uploaded on some fancy filesharing site. The file's like 2MB, cannot be that hard.

So if sharing extra files is required I'd just do something different to keep it simple

@Themoonisacheese Thanks for trying it out

Since if that's indeed the case, the host'd need to send that file over somehow.

Actually it turns out hosting a session with Paper Mario will generate a special .appm64 file which I need to use to play. I'll have to double check this.

@murgatroid99 Even easier then. I'll hop in with Paper Mario I think.

That said I'm not sure if that is a requirement. Maybe only for generating the yaml which the players do anyhow.

@murgatroid99 I think the only difference is that before you can generate the files for hosting the server you need to install the apworld file for the game. It's just an 2MB executable that you open with the Archipelago Launcher though, no further setup.

I know it said verified in the original post but the sign-up page shows all the apworld entries, including beta etc

Just to confirm, the Archipelago run is gonna be verified games only? I couldn't slide in with a beta-world per chance?

Sadly my last FF1 playthrough's been a while ago. I might join with Mario 64 though.

If it's officially released titles only I might need to double-check but in theory I'd be down

@murgatroid99 The listed date is when the run starts, right? Is it gonna be a single-session thing or what time-frame are people going for?

Wario for example has a Hiker and Cowboy outfit that's missing in World.

@xtropicalsoothing That honestly confused me. Mario Kart Tour has a lot of costumes they could have pulled from: mariowiki.com/List_of_drivers_in_Mario_Kart_Tour

Personally I'd be more interested if they pulled from less explored Mario stuff for a DLC like that though. I could imagine a "Yoshi's Island" of sorts for example.

@SPArcheon-onstrike I could imagine a DLC for MK World by adding separate island(s) to the map. They'd be able to throw in a reference.

I do wish they did a little more with the Free Roam though. Personally I think it's good but not good enough.

8 Deluxe unlocked everything by default aside of Karts for example.

Well, it is very fun to explore the map. It also works fairly well in multiplayer lobbies with friends. Mario Kart has not been very heavy on the content-unlocks recently.

@Otaku There's the traditional time trials mode from past games. Free Roam would not work with time trials though.

There's Mirror Mode I guess but I haven't unlocked that yet.

@Otaku You unlock characters by beating Grand Prix (so not free roaming) and karts by collecting coins (which you can also do in GP or online racing). Technically you'd not need to touch free roam at all.

There's plenty to do, just not that much of a reason to do it.

My main bother (outside of no local 2-player free roaming) is that these challenges mostly just unlock stickers. I wish there was a larger goal to work towards.

@xtropicalsoothing There's a few things like special NPCs offering challenges but considering the size of the world it's not a lot, I do agree.
