I kept dragging my feet on watching The Pathless because it's 2 hours long and I had a bunch of other stuff to do this week but I also have two games I watched that I forgot to do writeups for. Oops!

McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure

Oh my god, I just noticed it's called TREASURE Land Adventure. Like Treasure, the devs who made it. Mindblowing. I watched the interview with Lizstar before this and I was really interested in this run just seeing how excited Lizstar was to share it, because it's one of Treasure's forgotten little gems; literally the second game they made after their debut with Gunstar Heroes. Unlike most games Lizstar does this one isn't total garbage! I enjoyed this run a lot, kind of reminds me of a poor man's Magical Quest Starring Mickey, commentary keeps the run fresh throughout despite some lengthy autoscroller segments that slow down the pacing dramatically.

- "If you're expecting to see a lot of McDonald's things, there is no food, but there are characters." The lack of food in this game truly is a baffling decision.

- This was, apparently, originally supposed to be a McDonald's game. I would have assumed that it was some other game with McDonald's branding pasted on it in post, but that is apparently not the case!

- I've been tracking "that's never happened before"s and there was one in this run but I don't remember what it was.

- "It is a Happy Meal box with teeth." "So it's a mimic? I mean, anything D&D related sparks me joy but that sounds demonic and this is for children." "You've never seen a childrens' game." This was referring to the ad campaign; I was sad there were no demonic Happy Meal boxes in this one.

- "One of the many, many weird things about this game is that Ronald has his health in the form of gems, and they're always like, Ronald, won't you help me with your famous gems? And I'm like what"

- The minecart level where you have to stand on the shoulders of ballet dancers to get across is utterly spectacular. This really is a Treasure game.

- The sumo wrestlers in the next level are also really cool, their stomps make all the terrain slant and you have to use that to get across. This game's not bad!

- I love that they keep doing Ronald's poses in the background on the couch - I can't get over how goofy they are.

- The penguins that are really happy but get mad and attack you if you attack them are the cutest thing ever.

- The music in the game is pretty banging, gotta say.

- "Here he is! Our boy!" "What's his name?" "Captain Lips!" "Oh, no, it's grown at this point. It's now Sir Mister Captain Lips Esquire III where we last left it."

- I still can't get over the fact that Ronald McDonald has gems in this game. *Famous* gems. Not like, burgers, or chicken mcnuggets, or something.

- Out of context GDQ: "Here's the bean tree, which everyone in my chat absolutely despises.

- "People walk into the practice room and be like, what is this game? And I'm like, don't even ask. If you're asking it's already too late."

- More out of context: "The treasure chest opens, and it turns out, the real treasure was the gay agenda all along."

- "It was hiding on the moon and it was released onto the world and this adventure was a complete waste of time but it was the friends we made along the way and that's the moral which is really annoying when I think about it."

- The final boss music in this game is sort of insane for a game like this.

It makes for impressively good material for a metal arrangement:

- Prize segment after this run. Nothing special, but I do really want those Bubble Bobble perlers. I can never get over how good the melts are on these things.
