That is indeed great, in fact I’ve only played that game multi-player (thanks to it being on SNES Mini) so my question to you is: what am I missing in single player mode? Is it substantially different?
It’s pretty different and extremely good in its own right. I’m pretty sure this was a Sakurai game considering how well it plays.
Basically, it’s mini golf meets billiards in the single player mode. You need to get under a certain number of strokes to advance or you lose lives. It’s honestly kind of brilliant and makes me wish they’d take Sakurai off Smash (if he is indeed responsible) so that we can see more phenomenal concepts like this from him.
Stunt mode in San Francisco Rush 2049 on Dreamcast. It’s like a whole different game, really. The combat multiplayer is too. Sheesh… that game was awesome.
I’ll look into that one! It’s been too long since I played a Burnout.
Currently playing:
Bonham the Whale - Kero Bingo in Kero Kero King (PSX)
It’s a bingo-skeeball-gambling game, using the whack-a-frog element from the main golf game. Set on the back of a whale, obviously.
Trackmania United / Trackmania Nations - Platform Mode
Rollcage: Stage II - Scramble Mode
So much fun! Both of these are basically a “get to the end” puzzle mode, where the objective is to navigate the difficult track in any way you can to get to the end.
Tekken Bowl (bowling, Tekken tag tournament disc, PS2)
Tekken used to always have a separate mode, these two were the best. Especially if you’re playing against someone who wasn’t as skilled in the main game, they could pick these up and instantly understand what to do.
I think the Wii U TTT2 disc had Tekken ball again, but I’ve never played it.
While on the subject of fighting games, there’s Chess Kombat on Mortal Kombat Deception/Deception Unchained as well as Motor Kombat on Mortal Kombat Armageddon.
