Podtoid 352: Masterful Minigames

We had a fabulous question this week that ended up comprising the bulk of our conversation in this, the slow season for games, and that is: which minigames actually surpass the game they’re housed within, like an 8 ball hidden within a matryoshka.

That’s why Podtoid 352 is called Masterful Minigames. The usual suspects are present. Darren and I talked about how much better Monkey Target is compared to theSuper Monkey Ballmain game, we agreed thatKingdom Hearts‘ Gummi Ships are actually the bestStar Foxgame, and I got in a few more nods toKirby’s Air Ride, because I still can’t get over how good that game was. Also please tell me I wasn’t the only one obsessed withSonic Adventure 2‘s Chao Garden because trying to describe it to two people unfamiliar with it made me sound like a fucking lunatic.
