Was this inspired by Bloons TD?

So I confess. I would've played this game again a tad earlier. However because of... curiosity killing the damn cat, I had to push this game back. So here's what happened... I was getting ready to stream this game on the day it was originally scheduled right? Hell I was loaded into my save and ready to go when I saw I had a save state for this game. And of course my first fucking thought it... oh I should load that because that'll bring me to the exact point I stopped the other day. Needless to say... it wasn't. So I was like... oh okay I'll just restart the emulator and load my save file again. Well apparently when I loaded the save state that was near the beginning of the game, it also overwrote the save file of the game and I was like... well fuck me. And no matter what I did I just couldn't get that save file back. So I had no choice but to essentially replay the game to the entire point I was at last and then make a save state at that point. That way I couldn't possibly fuck everything up again. And here we are now! HUZZAH!

So... Woody. He wants to escape Sunnyside and I need to help him. I jump across the darts and then some... flags pinned to a bulletin board. Once I get out the window, I have to use very conveniently placed balloons to get across. They just... happen to fucking be there. How about that? And then it's time for another imagined scene as Woody hops on an RC car which conveniently moves for him. Once Woody is knocked out, we now see him speeding through a desert on a wagon. I have to traverse my way through without getting hit. But thankfully there's health boosts along the way! Nice! But it's not just desert, There's a mine and a full underground area too that... also has a full dinosaur skeleton. Oh so realistic! The underground area leads back to the outside desert. Once done and Woody gets off the RC car, I am now in the bathroom. Now that's just gross. So I across the toilets which I am sure are "clean" , bounce off the soap dispensers, use the paper towel dispensers which I totally jump across successfully my first try, and out the window I go! Once outside, I climb the vines up to the roof and find a very convenient glider. However the ride is short as Woody finds himself stuck on a tree. Thankfully this young girl finds him. Come across to a shot of a scene as the other toys wait for the children to enter the daycare. Ooooh the toys are so excited and then the excitement is ruined as the children are already destroying the new toys! Boy I bet Woody feels glad now he got the fuck out of there. Oh so NOW the toys realize Sunnyside ain't the place to be. So it's up to Buzz and I to save the gang starting with Hamm! But uh oh I have to avoid being by this kid who loves to play peek-a-boo. Thankfully there are blocks conveniently placed down for be to hide behind so I don't get spotted. I definitely remember this part. I feel like when I originally played this way back when I was younger, I struggled on this part. Can't fully remember though because I was like... 2 years old. XD! I distract some kids with a wind up car to save Hamm.

So now I have to play hide and seek again with peek-a-boo kid. I don't get through it my first try here but I do still win the game pretty quickly. Once back in the castle and also not knowing what the fuck to do, I realize I have to talk to the aliens who were right there and Buzz instructs Hamm to stay with them while he finds Slinky and Rex. I spend what feels like too much time running around naked when I realize my next quest, walking through the vent was literally in the damn castle and I spent all that time going around the whole daycare. Even as a 21 year old I have trouble figuring out what to do in this game. So anyways I go through the vent and well here comes an issue. I have to blow into a microphone to blow bubbles. I don't even know if Bizhawk supports DS microphone emulation. Shit I might be fucked here. Thankfully... I am not. Bizhawk does indeed support DS microphone emulation! HUZZAH! I blow those bubbles and save Slinky! So now I got to play fucking hide and seek AGAIN. I use another wind up car to shoo away some more kids so I can save Rex. After playing another fucking hide and seek game, I meet with Hamm, Rex, and Slinky at the teachers desk. Albeit Hamm was supposed to stay in the castle. But those kids were all around and must've gotten into the castle. so he ran off into the vent and lost the aliens in the process. Damn you Hamm. So I use more virtual microphone to blow some bubbles and save the aliens. And it's another round of playtime... yay? Looking back now, I don't think the mode itself is that bad. But I feel like having to play it in story mode is... unnecessary. This playtime is prehistoric themed with a few futuristic enemies. Oh wow the past and future meeting! I'm sure at least 8 and a half kids got excited about that. And... well that's not just Rex as the playtime boss. That's... MECHA REX!... well... I assume at least. He didn't even make it past halfway across the mat before he was taken down. So we meet back with Woody who is seemingly in a whole new house now. Hey at least it's better than the daycare! There's this Hedgehog toy who looks can they can help. Or not. Every time I try to talk to it, it just runs off because apparently I am interrupting it's rehearsal time. And I guess I distract it too many times where the Hedgehog finally gives up and has to start all over.

We also meet this Unicorn toy... hmm I wonder if we are in that young girls house. The Hedgehog... also known as Mr. Pricklepants I guess has been playing a character when Woody showed up and wants Woody to play along. Literally. It's another fucking playtime. I just did playtime! Fuck! (sigh) just gotta get through this as fast as possible. It sure is a very... playful theme. Unfortunately I make the big mistake of placing all my attackers on the inside as at the very end, while I take down the Unicorn, I don't take down Mr. Pricklepants and ultimately lose playtime. Thankfully this game doesn't make me redo playtime if i fail. Thank fuck. Even though I failed playtime, Pricklepants was still impressed with my performance. Seems like Pricklepants and the Unicorn were also victims of Sunnyside as they ask Woody how he escaped. It's not for sure if they were but based on the reaction, it's safe to say. I am advised to speak to a toy named Chuckles... sounds like a happy guy. I'm told I can use some magnets in the closet to climb up the chalkboard. I grab a sheriff badge to obtain a hat throwing ability. Oh so now this is just Mario Odyssey. Got it. So I get the magnets and climb up the chalkboard. Just got to be careful not to touch the chalk drawings or I will slip and fall. During my climb, Woody is hit by an eraser which leads to another imagined scene. Now instead of magnets, it's pickaxes. And instead of a chalkboard, it's a rock wall. Same idea though. climb it up without hitting any obstacles or falling down which I definitely did. And definitely avoid the rock slide. That will just kill you and you have to restart the whole game... okay that may have been exaggerated. Later on in my climb, I am given the chance to catch some safety helmets which give me like.. a 2 second shield. Oh yeah watch out for random deadly lasers. Don't ask me why they're there. Also I'm sorry but I am calling a certain hit from a certain laser completely bullshit. I was nowhere CLOSE to the target. Eventually there's a laser so damn powerful, it tilts the whole damn wall. Yikes that is a strong laser. I make it to the top of the mountain... er... chalkboard and speak with Chuckles. Well now I believe that name is so not fitting anymore. Apparently he was Daisy's favorite toy... ah okay so the young girl's name is Daisy.

Chuckles explains that he was taken by Daisy with Lotso, the stuffed bear in charge of Sunnyside and a big baby on a picnic. But when Daisy left, she forgot them. And when the toys got back, Chuckles found out the toys were already replaced... damn. So they took themselves to Sunnyside and... well let's just say Lotso was never the same. He's definitely gotten mad with power. Anyways that is where I stopped for the night. And let's just say I definitely made sure I made a proper save state this time. One more huge rewind and I would've said... fuck it... I'm watching a playthrough on YouTube.
