[Terminal Devastation]

Even though I really liked the mini-game barrels (All of them)... I do have to agree with many of the complaints about them.

With that said, I think it wasn't so much that the minigames were jarring in context as much as they didn't set up for for how jarring it was.

I mean, the Classic DK game in Frantic Factory was totally different, but it completely made sense there because of how the context was.

They wouldn't have to even retheme the mini-game barrels if the area they were put or the challenge involved in getting them was themed well enough that you can just say look at the barrel and either say "okay, this is going to be..." or after playing it, okay this makes sense here.

Like having that gnawty round up minigame in an area TEAMING with gnawties.

(Personally it would have been a blast to incorporate several of the minigames INTO the levels)

I wouldn't have minded if they removed all duplicate mini-games for more in level challenges.

Hideout helm needed something to do after it was defused as well. It just seemed... empty. Gathering blueprints early also had the worst payoff, kind of wish it actually added more to do in hideout (or allowed you to break more lessening the damage with each blueprint) instead of giving too much time. Really if you'd skilled enough to seek and hide all of those... you're probably skilled enough to make the intial time limit.

(Also they should have moved Creepy Castle's boss to hideout helm, make that one mine-cart ghost creepy castle's boss, was I the only one disappointed it wasn't?)

Well... more time did mean more time to listen to hideout's better music.
