Harvest Moon: Magical Melody - Minigame Madness! (Part 5 of 7)

Ah, yes - HOW could I forget to record the minigames that started it all? The one short sentence on the back cover of the game box mentioning the inclusion of minigames is in fact the one reason my mom and I decided to rent this game - we wanted something multiplayer that we could do together. Of course, when the very few minigames unlocked at the beginning of the game got boring and we started the actual files, the real game overshadowed the little stuff and the minigame aspect of Magical Melody was completely forgotten.

But then ShadowedAngel727 reminded me that they still exist, and so I resolved to present a sampling of each of the minigames unlockable and playable on HM:MM! So now, you can marvel at the hidden awesomeness of Harvest Moon that you might never have thought to try out, the opportunity to watch my awesome skillz shine (Player 1... except there are sadly no skills for me to show in this particular game), and my mom's ridiculous slowness (Player 2) in choosing the characters I tell her to. xD

You can play as any of four palette-swapped versions of the main girl or boy protagonist, or as any of the marriageable BACHELORS. (None of the bachelorettes! Kinda unfair.) I WAS going to try to pick player people that would make sense for each game - like Ray for swimming, Bob for horse racing, etc. - but ended up just going through the list of possible players in order of how the minigames came up, so as to make sure to get everyone in at least once.

Note: Since I had to have both me and my mom playing and the same time, and there was no one holding the camera, I put my camera on a DS game box on a thickly folded blanket on a table, leaning on a portable blood pressure monitor to tilt it toward the screen. xD; It was a very difficult setup to get it in line with the TV, and I won't use do that for any future videos... So please forgive the slightly crooked angle and any blurs, but enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime frame steadiness without my hand on there! =P


Here's the fifth one: the Swimming Festival. Just like at the Beach Festival every year on Summer 3 in the game, you have to touch all four colored buoys while fighting currents, whirlpools, and stupid dolphins that take you to the wrong places. =P Epic fail here on my part, I realize, and I'm pretty ashamed that wimpy little Carl beat me (just kidding; Carl is cool xP). But you know what, I think it's Alex's fault, because I replayed this game later as RAY, and I WON! *emphatic nod* True story!
