A couple more badges to claim. I got the record in snow whirled in
Mario Party Superstars for the Snow Whirler badge. I actually hadn't played this game before, so I first made a record over the default one, and then played it until I beat it, just for good measure. Overall, I've really enjoyed my time with mario party superstars, but only had two thirds of the games played after going through all the boards once.
And finally, I trekked back into
Xenoblade to earn the Valak Mountaineer badge. I initially started a new game plus, but it carries over your collectapaedia! Fortunately I had an old save from before I finished off the whole collection, and then had to work forward from there. If you want to guess what my last item was, it was...
I think I spent more days working on this than any other badge even with a head start, though getting the shiny eiscue probably took more time. I just binged that. Valak at night sure is a beauty though, so worth a revisit just for the mood.
And with that... I think I earned all of the badges! Again, I really appreciate everyone who has organized this and other challenge events. I've enjoyed all of them so far, and this one came at a perfect time for me. Combined with being a bit on the easier side, setting the goal to do them all has really brightened some long nights and encouraged me to plunge into a variety of wintery worlds!
