Funny thing about this game's title is Mr. Gimmick is the localized title, it's original title is just "Gimmick!" which the developers said is like a description of the game's world. The protag DOES have a name though, his name is "Yumetaro"
Also I've played this game A LOT, it's one of the few NES games I've managed to complete without save states, so through that and watching videos about the game I've picked up some knowledge, like the fact that you get your first 1-up at 10,000 points, which is what that noise is at 8:54 since you jumped on the enemy. Jumping on enemies or your own star gives you 10 points every time. The jumps that were too high for you at some points are doable, you're meant to throw your star at the wall and jump on it. This is best done from a jump so it hits near a corner and comes back up under your feet, or if you're really good with it, you can land on the star as it's still falling and jump off before it reaches the ground. This is an intended mechanic that you're REQUIRED to use if you want the true ending, since each level has a secret treasure and some require knowledge of star jumping. And even after that using any continues will block off the true ending. This game has a LOT of hidden mechanics and strategies to tinker around with, and a lot of goofy details thrown in just because the devs wanted to. For example, at 12:09 there's an enemy on-screen who's just standing completely still on that platform. This ONE SPECIFIC ENEMY is controlled by the player 2 controller. The devs went crazy on this game
Yo thanks for that info, all that stuff you described is indeed pretty wild - especially the bit about that one NPC being able to be controlled by P2. That's beautiful.
From what you describe it sounds like the potential is there for some advanced movement and stuff, I didn't even realize the star is a platform lol. Even tho I played it poorly, I could def tell there was more under the surface.
@@ThatPunkYT you played fine for going in blind I don't know if I even finished level 1 before my first game over lol
Hah thanks. I def felt a bit inept at it though, and now I understand why.
In this series though, it's a blessing if I can actually get to and kill a boss within 10 minutes 😅
Game good, player also good. Btw, I have never rom surfed with a friend so this is lost on me
That surprises me, it was a regular thing for me and my friends. Browse through a folder, boot up a random game, give it a few minutes, get bored and move on to the next. This whole series was actually inspired by getting a sesh of that in last year with a friend. I hope I can at least recreate that feeling for ya :D
