Ah yes, Board The Platforms. So nostalgic, so similar. Sounds simple, right?
You simply jump on yellow platforms with red lights on them to activate the blue lights. And if you manage to jump on all ten of them, you win.
But here's where things get tricky - it's not about simply jumping on them. It's about getting to them too.
"Uhhh... are you sure we can't take a good look around the map first?" Silver The Hedgehog asked nervously as he glanced at the gray colored robot, the Robotic Operating Buddy, who shook his mechanical head in response as he was behind Silver, both of them being in the BTP area assigned to Samus Aran in Super Smash Bros 64, with the two standing on the edge of the gray structure. "It doesn't seem right for us to just be dumped here and not have a concept as to where to go or what to do..."
"Come now, Silver. We can easily use this to gouge just how well we are in our current shapes for our bodies," R.O.B. stated as he moved his mechanical arms up and down and all around at the speed of sound. "Besides, the Wii Fit Trainers will make us do harder exercising if we don't become accustomed to this."
Silver took in a deep breath as he crossed his fingers together. "All right... but if I fall, please tell the others not to take my stuff away."
"I promise." R.O.B. responded, as he watched Silver reach for the platform high in the air using his green psychic power, climbing aboard and managing to turn the light from red to blue.
"Hey! I did it!" Silver cheered as he moved his hands around, looking down at ROB as he was feeling estatic, with it not being that much of a task. "This isn't so bad after all!"
It was then that a baseball hit Silver in the back, causing him to fall down as he went through the two thick gray platforms, landing on the yellow platform with a thud face first as he groaned in pain. R.O.B. heard the crunching of Silver's bones as he closed his eyes, cringing, with Silver getting up and leaning back.
"Silver! What happened down there?" R.O.B. asked as he glanced down, spotting Silver.
"It's all right, R.O.B. I'm fine... I'm okay..." Silver stated as he jumped down onto the yellow platform moving back and forth. "I'm just... taking it easy..."
"Are you sure about that?" ROB stated as he could signal some signs in Silver, noticing that the psychic hedgehog had some things in his body injured.
"Err, believe me ROB... I can hover this off..." Silver stated as he felt a pain in his neck, squinting his eyes. "Oh, I might need a chiropractor..."
It seemed easy, sure, but then several red Flippers appeared out of nowhere, hitting Silver in the face by their repeated flipping, with R.O.B. not believing this as Silver screamed, desperate to get away from the spinning red items as he quickly hovered onto the yellow platform before him, only to get knocked back by a smart bomb being chucked at him, the explosion causing the silver colored hedgehog to tumble several stories below and get knocked out. R.O.B. looked up, to see that it was Crazy Hand causing all of the item spawning, the robot murmuring in annoyance as the Crazy Hand simply laughed in response.
"What? I can't have fun? I'm here to spice things up!" Crazy Hand stated as he snapped his fingers, summoning explosion items like the Bob-ombs, the Electrodes that popped out of the various red and white Pokeballs, smart bombs, and motion sensor bombs as they all exploded, causing several parts of the gray structure to break, as well as causing R.O.B. to go blasting off again.
Incidentally, this destroyed all the yellow platforms as a result. But Crazy Hand didn't care. He was enjoying the explosive madness that he was booming up. Watching this from a distance was Arceus, Gruntilda Winkybunion, Dry Bowser, and Dr. Hoshi, with all of them deciding to see how the others were handling the task of boarding the platforms.
"You know, I actually did enjoy boarding platforms." Arceus stated as he summoned several yellow platforms with red lights, touching them with all of his limbs to make then turn blue.
Gruntilda scoffed as she adjusted her scarf, the warty green witch unimpressed. "Bah! Who cares about platformers in this day and age of shooters?" She was then flattened by several platforms that appeared above her, only for her to blast them into oblivion as she popped herself back to her regular witchy state.
Dry Bowser chuckled several of his fragile bones out of his bony body, the skeletal reptile watching as his segregated bones somehow managed to land on various platforms suddenly popping up around him. "I can see where developers go with leaving in certain things for one game and not bringing them back, but I think it's an outdated concept."
"You hit the..." Dr. Hoshi was about to comment as he swiftly dodged several platforms coming for him, the purple raptor in his white lab coat briefly taking off his light blue glasses as he squinted his eyes at what was going to happen to him, placing back his glasses. "...or in this case, pointed out the issue by the process to board the platforms."
The Rhedosaurus then popped up from a collected pile of blue lit yellow platforms, roaring as the stop motion animated reptile began destroying them, with the others simply shrugging as they were present to give an otherwise stale story some quality and increase the word count for no reason other than to entertain you viewers who willingly read through this thing.
