In this episode we whip our way through all the questions other podcasts are afraid to ask: Just how animated can Simon Belmont get? What was the secret ending that got Sonia Belmont fired from the Castlevania canon? And of course, what IS a man? Plus, Mike and Kai Hammer away at the cryptic credits of Castlevania in the Monster Match for another graveyard smash, with a full exhumation over on our web site of Castlevania's Crazy Cinema Credits (https://www.theoldswitcharoo.com/blog/castlevanias-crazy-cinema-credits/).

Things really fall into place when Lisa from the Geek Pop Podcast connects with three Mario-related drop-puzzlers — Yoshi (NES, 1990), Wario’s Woods (NES, 1994), and Dr. Mario (Gameboy, 1990) — as Mike and Jaymo continue their epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog! In this episode we’ll study how Yoshi gave birth to Pokemon , reveal Wario’s Woods connection to Japanese radio comedians, and expose Dr. Mario’s little-known original profession! For another dose of Dr. Mario, check out Mike and Jaymo’s first take on the franchise with Dr. Mario (NES) and Dr. Mario 64 (N64) back in Season 1, Episode 6 (https://www.theoldswitcharoo.com/episode-6-how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-the-megavitamins/).

Derick McDuff of the Underrated movie podcast returns and brings Kurosh Jozavi of the The KJP Show to talk Kirby Super Star (SNES, 1996) and Kirby’s Dream Land 3 (SNES, 1997) with Mike and Jaymo, continuing their epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog! In this episode we’ll check out all the Kirby Super Star game modes, debate the drawbacks of Kirby’s animal companions in Dream Land 3, try to see through how the SNES pseudo hi-res mode allowed it to easily display transparencies, and reveal a rare cameo appearance from the voice of Masahiro Sakurai himself! Kurosh, Derick, and Mike also go head-to-head-to-head to see who can snag the most G from a vault of obscure references in The Great Cave Offensive.
