Video Game Track Bracket Round 2
Loud Locomotive from Kirby: Planet Robobot
vs.
Frankenstein Goes to Jamaica from Death Road to Canada
Propaganda under the cut. If you want your propaganda reblogged and added to future polls, please tag it as propaganda or otherwise indicate this!
Loud Locomotive:
i love when musicians get wacky with it. the main synth feels like it's cleaning between my ears.
Frankenstein Goes to Jamaica:
This song mocks you for daring to run out of gas (or less commonly, break your car) in a zombie apocalypse. This song really nails in just how hopeless things are until you find another car, and it compliments the non-stop torrent of negative events and stagnant progress that lacking a car brings very well.

The Japanese name of "VS. Star Dream" from Kirby: Planet Robobot is VS. スタードリーム. In it, "Star Dream" is written in katakana (スタードリーム), while it's normally written as 星の夢. It was lost in translation, and thus the English name sounds really simple.

[Kirby Super Star] : Capsule J
Like most characters you encounter in the Kirby franchise, Capsule J is both an adversary and an ally for the players.
Capsule-J made it's first and only appearance in 1996's Kirby Super Star. If inhaled by Kirby, the pink poof copies their jet ability.
In 2008, a remake of Capsule-J's debut game, Kirby Super Star Ultra was released. While this remake brings back all of the copy abilities from the original version including jet, Capsule-J doesn't make an appearance.
So then how does Kirby acquire the jet ability in Super Star Ultra? Enter, Capsule-J2. Capsule-J2 most assuredly replaces Capsule-J because of the latter's resemblance to Konami's Twin Bee character.
Capsule-J comes from a different era of video games where titles like The Revenge of Shinobi would outright copy designs from well known characters like the Terminator, Batman, Godzilla, Spider-Man and Rambo.
Three years after his debut, Capsule-J2 would reappear in Kirby Mass Attack. Five years after that, a third jet character, Capsule J3, would appear in 2016's Kirby: Planet Robobot.
This tidbit from WiKirby.com may give us a clue as to why Hal Laboratory felt the need to reintroduce another "Capsule" character:
In Kirby Super Star Ultra, the internal filename for Capsule J2 is "capsulej", suggesting that Capsule J2 may have replaced Capsule J late in development. Additionally, it appears that Capsule J2's sprites used Capsule J as a base, since the lower half of it resembles an edited version of the original sprite. In Kirby: Mass Attack, its file specifies "j2".
So, it may be that HAL Laboratory was never satisfied with J2's appearance because they might've been quickly thrown together midway through development.
As such, when it came time to model a 3D character with the jet ability for Planet Robobot, they opted to outright replace J2 with J3. This is all just speculation on my part, though!

Daily Kirby Copy Ability 03/08/2024
Today's Copy Ability is Doctor! Doctor has appeared in Kirby: Planet Robobot and Kirby Battle Royale.
Wikirby description: "Kirby gains a variety of attacks when weilding this ability. His primary attack involves throwing pills at enemies. He also gains a bandage twirling ability, can hit enemies with a giant clipboard, can fire upward with a syringe, and brew chemical concoctions. Perhaps the most unique move of this ability is the Science Lab move, which allows Kirby to create one of four chemical concoctions. One is a fire potion, which spouts a powerful flame. Another is an ice potion that freezes enemies above Kirby. The third is an electric concoction that fires several small electric projectiles in a fountain-like manner. The last, and by far the rarest (unavailable in some modes), is a green concoction that Kirby drinks to recover Health. All three of the offensive brews can be used on their respective elemental puzzles, making this ability very versatile. Kirby will automatically use the concoction once he is done brewing it, or he can Guard or jump before releasing to store it for later use."
