But did you know that this forbidden knowledge was actually known to the public a full year before the release of Kirby's Adventure?! Yes, the secret was originally let out of the bag in the first television commercial for the game's predecessor, Kirby's Dream Land. What's harder to say is if the song was written for the commercial then added to Adventure, or if the song was originally written for the game but then made into a commercial because they couldn't originally use it in the game. At any rate, it's certainly weird seeing it in all its copied-from-an-old-video-tape glory...
I particularly enjoy the transcendent section where the kid twitches mindlessly after having been blasted into outer space to collide with a star. For the record, my childhood notebooks are filled with attempts at drawing Kirby that all look massively better than this kid's. I was following the same goddamned directions as he was! I wonder what he is doing now. Probably not getting inhaled by weird pink blob creatures, but this is Japan after all.
As a special bonus for my loyal readers, I also give you these two Super Mario 64 DS title screen drawings of Mario and Yoshi that my stepbrother drew, they are the most horrifying things I have ever seen in my life. Remember kids, only draw Nintendo characters under the guidance of authorized directions.
