Episode notes

Happy Friday! Here's a podcast recommendation for your weekend: an episode of Flashback 64 about Treasure's cult classic Mischief Makers. If you liked Kirby 64, we think you'll really dig Mischief Makers, a 2.5D platformer that follows robot maid Marina on an adventure to rescue the kidnapped Prof. Theo. Marina can grab, throw, and shake most of the enemies and objects she encounters, so if you enjoy the way Kirby games let you use enemies' weapons and projectiles against them, you'll find similarly interactive combat and puzzle-solving in Mischief Makers. Plus, it's full of great music, funny dialogue, and the elaborate boss fights Treasure is famous for.

Flashback 64 is a terrific retro gaming podcast where Gooey and McKenna chronologically explore the library of the Nintendo 64 and other 90s and 2000s-era culture. This episode also features writer merritt k as a guest panelist.

We hope you'll check out other episodes of Flashback 64 and give them a follow in whichever podcast player you're using right now. You can also find them at https://flashback64pod.podbean.com/. Below is the original text from their show notes.
