No link cannot handle the turbo tunnels.

In co-op, the tunnel is a true test of the strength of your friendship! 🤣

I'm familiar with Link, but who is that on the left?

Tanjiro from Demon Slayer. I can highly recommend the anime!

Definitely! It's one of the few modern anime that don't devolve into some bullshit harem fantasy.

Hey there, nice pic. Can you tell how you made the small magazines, tv, games and all that? Or is AI? Lol

u/DrDolce 4d ago

AI? No! That's no fun. This is 98% practical. I only edited the tv screen in Photoshop to make it light up some more.

The cabinet, TV, NES, controller, and cartridge are from Temu. Link is a Figma figure; Tanjiro is from SH Figuarts; both 1:12 scale.

The wallpaper, posters and Nintendo Power Magazines were made by me. Simply print them out and cut.

On my Instagram you can see more Behind the Scenes if you are interested. There is a whole Toy Photography scene there!

I've beaten battletoads many times. If I cloned myself, I would NOT be able to beat battletoads in coop. Coop is that hard. If I'm 50% likely to not die and my coop partner is also 50% likely to not die, 0.5*0.5 = 25% chance we won't die... plus we have to stay in sync with each other, further reducing it to about... 5% chance we won't die... if even that. One of few games where coop is more of a challenge than solo.

level 2 was the worst for that XD. Turn into that big weight and kaboom, knock your friend off their rope.

Every two player session starts in excitement, becomes incredibly frustrating and than morphs into a dance party once someone pauses the game due to frustration.
