An Ode to Cagney Carnation: Cuphead’s Best Boss

Today is the day I express poetry

To a beloved boss called Cagney.

His Floral Fury has such a special song,

I could listen to our battle all day long.

During my time exploring Inkwell Isle One,

There was a tedious task that must be done.

I, Cuphead, had to visit the meadow,

To steal Cagney’s soul for The Devil below.

When we first met, Cagney smiled at me

Appearing as innocent as he could be.

But I knew better than to belittle this flower.

Behind that face lies a monster with great power.

Cagney is charming, sneaky, and cunning,

His set of attacks sends debt collectors running.

I returned fire with a barrage of bullets

Coming fresh from my fingertips.

Cuphead shooting at the transformed Cagney.

Sometime later, Cagney began to transform.

His body grew bigger, and thorns started to swarm.

Cagney tried defeating me with his dandelions and vines,

But my last round of bullets made him scream to the skies.

Cuphead standing proud after defeating Cagney.

After the brawl finished brewing, I took Cagney’s soul contract

Because this cup’s head prefers to stay intact.

Mario Kart Wii’s Rainbow Road: An Iconic Track Requiring High Skills

Rainbow Road on Mario Kart Wii.

As a gamer who achieved first place in all 32 Mario Kart Wii tracks, Rainbow Road is the hardest course to achieve 1st place. Playing this track on 50cc or 100cc is nowhere near as difficult as driving on 150cc or Mirror Mode (where the track is inverted left-to-right).

While you might enjoy Rainbow Road’s music, you will feel pressured by the following stress factors:

Rainbow Road is the last track of the Special Cup, meaning you will have to play all 4 courses again if you rank poorly.

There are tight turns, little guardrails, and half-pipe jumps that make it easy to fall off the course.

According to a player from TheTopTens,

“Wii Rainbow Road is very fun to play on, and definitely very hard. Add sharp turns to crazy waving roads split paths, speed boosts, risky shortcuts and amazing music and you've got an impossible track.”

Wii Rainbow Road on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Rainbow Road is so difficult that Nintendo added more guardrails when the course was added to the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course DLC.

In my opinion, the newer Rainbow Road doesn’t feel the same. Driving on this course feels like bowling with the bumpers on.

Top 3 Scariest Characters in Baldi’s Basics Plus

Fanart of Baldi's Basics Plus Characters by @evapo-rated. Baldi’s Basics has a variety of characters. However, which individuals contribute the most horror to the player's experience? In this post, I will analyze the Super Schoolhouse cast to find the top 3 scariest ones, using the current version of Baldi’s Basics Plus (Version 0.7.1.) Keep in mind this game contains mild horror elements, so ranking these characters will be quite challenging.

3: Baldi

Whenever players hear Baldi slap his ruler, they want to run and hide to avoid his jump scare. There have been recorded incidents that prove Baldi is not your average kind of scary. One of Baldi's best jump scares happens when he chases the player in the dark, which is caused by The Test.

2: Mrs. Pomp

Based on experiences with popular gamers, Mrs. Pomp is feared more than Baldi due to her first impression. Any new players who have not read her profile will be frightened when they see this teacher approach them. Attend her class on time . . . or else!

1: Doctor Reflex

Doctor Reflex is the scariest character because he gives scarier first impressions than Mrs. Pomp. His spookiest moment occurs when the player purposely fails his reflex test.
