Zack & Wiki - Return of the Legend (3 of 3)

Zack has fallen to the bottom of the pit that Barbaros threw him into, and the now-complete Barbaros has sent all of the curses that guarded the treasure chests after him! Using the remains of the final treasure chest as a mine cart, Zack pushes forth with full momentum to escape their increasingly rapidly advancing reaches. After the longest minute of his life, Zack reaches the ocean--and falls in.

Betrayed by Barbaros and lost at sea, who can Zack trust in this darkest hour? Johnny Style, for one. It seems that he's gained the assistance of Captain Rose and her Rose Rock Pirates. If Barbaros is going to hog Treasure Island for himself, they're going to come and snatch it from him! They're pirates, after all.

Now that they're back at the Sea Rabbits HQ, Zack takes a little break and finds out that Maddy has retrieved a model of the Swellosaurus, the dragon that guarded the map to Barbaros Castle back in "Ancient Wyrm." It also seems that Barbaros has been replaced by a replica of his treasure self. Wiki's descriptions seem...a little off.

What's with the happy music going on while they are lost at sea, doomed to die a slow death of starvation and underhydration?

[Overhazard]

Well, at least they can do so together. Besides, what happens next is a positive. Good storytelling will never just lay on the negatives in layers upon layers without something good happening at least once in a while.

You know, it occurred to me, is it possible to get to this level without all the treasures?

If I recall, there's at least...I want to say 2 stages you don't have to do to move on to the next stage.

It makes me wonder what would happen; would you just not be allowed in until you gather all the parts? Would Barby somehow get them regardless?

[Overhazard]

"The Fountain Guardian," "Icicle of Prosperity," and "Dragon Scales" are all skippable, so my guess is that you wouldn't be allowed to start this until you get all of the Barbaros pieces.

[Overhazard]

There are no checkpoints in the middle of stages in this game, since for the most part, they're pretty nonlinear. None should take that long anyway.

[RoyalCobalt]

I don't blame you. At this point, after the battle you just went through, I'd be ringing for 3 minutes straight until the curses stopped chasing me if I had to. This game doesn't have checkpoints, does it? I'd hate to have to do the battle over again because a couple of wayward curses got too close.

[Overhazard]

Yeah, I was getting tired from it. I probably swumg more vigorously than I should've.

[Overhazard]

I later found out that to get the full points, you must ring when the curses are at their closest. But hey, I was freaked out.

[randomyoshi]

Was Zack hopping to the beat of the music at 3:02 to 3:06? It seemed like that way to me.

[MasterJongXG]

I bet your hand must hurt from all that rining from 00:00 to 1:06
