okay had to install a different emulator but I FINALLY got the input lag on my emulator fixed
the first new thing toad tells you is that the save points are pointless now because the game saves between screens BUT YOU CAN STILL USE EM IF YOU WANT
also for the timed hits a little exclamation point pops up in a thought bubble so get ready to stare at that for every attack in every fight
they added like two or three horns it sounds like to the level up music, levelling up its obnoxiousness, which is kinda awesome actually

theres an accessory you can wear now to detect hidden boxes
it doesnt tell you where the box is, just that its in the room and when you find the box the notification goes away. i thought it didnt at first but then i remembered the tutorial for hidden boxes room has TWO OF THEM

Love these little flourishes, the question is if the dev team could keep it up the entire game or if they ran out of steam by the end.

the chain pressure isnt too bad. you get max bonus to your attack and meter building after six hits it looks like
it just has been this shade of orange without popups for a bit. lets see if its different at 20
UGH I HATE GETTING ONCE AGAIN ON THE LAST HIT
yeah it seems like 5 chain is max bonus. pretty generous!
when your gauge fills you do a GAUGE MOVE which looks like its gonna be a list of summons but i only have one so far
and it just gives mea big bonus to a stat for the rest of the fight or a full recovery
theres also special harder enemies that drop frog coins. i hope that means theres gonna be more stuff to shop with frog coins for

I should probably try this, Mario RPG is what lead to me discovering Batman for ZX Spectrum last year so it’s definitely one of the few games that truly changed my life . . .
