I was pretty good at the hypno timing mini game as a kid, but the Magikarp Splash? Damn how do people chain quick jumps so well?! I also struggled with the Lickitung game, because I felt like I was missing critical info about the value of each food item. As in, my uncultured dumbass youth didn't know what I was eating in the game, so surely I would do better if I knew wtf the announcer was screaming about
Hypno against friends can get really competitive! About Magikarp, just have to press A a little bit before magikarp hits the ground, you can buffer your input. And yeah, Lickitung is all about combos. Great games.
