Yooo! Almost a full clear on Round 3 and 4, very impressive. I'm always second guessing whether I make these too hard or too easy, but I get a constant feed of people saying both, so I'd say that's the ideal outcome.
The buzzer decides a lot of the easier ones too, If you buzz too slow someone else will likely snipe in. Maj was giving Trav a run for his money before Round 4 kicked in.
Round 1: (5 pts) Mega Man X6 (1/2), (LoZ: Tears of the Kingdom), Super Mario World, (Bioshock), (Final Fantasy XVI), Pizza Tower, (Donkey Kong 64), (Metal Gear Solid 4), (Harvest Moon 64), (Street Fighter 6)
Round 2: (19 pts) (Sonic Adventure), Super Mario Bros 3, (Skies of Arcadia), (Airships) (Mega Man & Bass), (LoZ: Wind Waker), (Donkey Kong Country 2), (Pirates) Splatoon (1/2), NieR: either, (Kirby and the Forgotten Land), Conlangs (Pokemon RBY), (F-Zero GX), Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Casinos

Round 3: (24 pts) (Grunty's Castle), Tristram, (Torvus Bog), Forest Temple, Traverse Town, (Tethe'alla), Fountain of Dreams, (Junes), (Fossil Falls), (Honeybee Inn) < I should have gotten 48 here. No shot at Tethe'alla or Junes.
Round 5: (28 pts) Mario Kart DS - Choco Mountain (+10), Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow - Dracula's Tears (+1), Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - Lazy Afternoons (+0), Metroid Prime Pinball - Brinstar/Frigate Orpheon (+7), The World Ends With You - Calling (+10)

I'm not good at these but I always enjoy them! No idea how the contestants get these so quickly, they're very impressive.
Round 1: 4 pts BotW +1, Super Mario World +2, Bioshock +2 (without the hint but it took me ages to remember it), guessed Stardew for Harvest Moon so -1 but I had the right idea. and I should know Pizza Tower since it's big with the vgm crew on this board.
Round 2: 15 pts SMB3 +2, guessed FF7 instead of TWW -1 (idk why I thought that), DKC3 +1, Splatoon 3 +1, Pokemon RBY +2, F-Zero GX +2 (with hint), Sonic 2 +2, Casino theme +6.
Bonus: 0 Guessed Super Meat Boy for the rope one, Cadence of Hyrule for Donkey Konga, and Sambe de Amigo for Luigi.
Round 3: 4 pts Gruntilda's Lair (you said Castle but I'm giving myself points anyway) +6, guessed Maridia for Torvus Bog -1, guessed Lost Woods instead of Forest Temple (I thought there was a version of the Woods where it was eerie like this but I must've been thinking of something else)
Round 5: 15 pts Mario Kart DS but guessed Moo Moo Farm so +1 (agreed this does not sound very mountain-y!), Castlevania something +1, Metroid Prime Pinball but guessed Samus's theme +1 (was thinking of the Brawl vocals whoops JOIN THE FIGHT), TWEWY Calling +10.
Round 4: 20 pts Sonic Spin +8, Yoshi +6, Cpt Falcon guessed knee move +5, Deep Freeze -1, Luminaire +2 (only got after Chrono's name was said)
Bonus: 0? Guessed Castlevania/NiGHTS only after SotN was said, didn't feel fair to score myself for that.
Always love that portmanteau round but it's a shame people do so poorly at it as I imagine it takes forever to put them together lol. Thanks as always for doing these, it's fun stuff.
Round 1: Knew the first one was a Mega Man game, but never would've guessed 6; obviously recognized the Mario track but didn't know which game; got FFXVI because I'm currently playing it and I love the Mark boss track; got Metal Gear Solid 4; I would've guessed SF6 if I had to because it sounded like something from SF but I haven't played it yet
Round 1 - +5 Harvest Moon 64 (my fastest buzz-in of the game) +2, Mario Paint +1, DKC3 +1, MGS3 +1
Round 2 - +15 (20) Airships +6, Sonic Adventure, Super Mario Bros 3, Skies of Arcadia, Sonic 2 +2 each, Skyward Sword, Donkey Kong Country +1 each -1 for guessing Chrono Trigger on Mega Man & Bass
No bonus round points, but also would've said Cadence of Hyrule
Round 5 - +8 (46) +10 for TWEWY - Calling -1 each for Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations over Dawn of Sorrow, and F-Zero GP Legend over Metroid Prime Pinball
Round 4 - +28 (74) +8 for Sonic's Spindash & Ghost's Nuke, +6 for Captain Falcon & Hanzo
Final Round - +13 (87) +14 for Castlevania Symphony of the Nights into Dreams, -1 point because the numbers were bad

Thanks everyone for playing, I always get such positive incredible feedback on each episode.
Which is why it's so jarring that this is by far the lowest performing and viewed episode since the show started. I don't know how to promote or get this thing out there, feeling a wee bit demoralized. It might be harder than I thought to complete 3 full seasons of this!

That might just be because of the guests this time around. No offense to them obviously, but I hadn't heard of any of them before this video while in most of the previous episodes I at least recognized one person. Having a popular name like ProJared or something is probably what drives a large chunk of the views.

Oh really? Damn you gotta watch some of Trav's and Maj's stuff on Youtube. I especially love Maj's review of the Tales of Symphonia sequel. Busted a gut laughing at this one.
