I know Peace and Tranquility is there but it feels like using that is the same shit as the golden tanuki leaves in Super Mario 3D World and I just feel insulted that the game is even asking. Eventually I just quit in frustration rather than use the easy mode. I haven't bothered playing the game since.

they must be loli-lewders
Do them in easy mode, created for us suckers.
So apparently Coop Mode adds an adorable Featuring Me! thing of Coop Kid in the corner. So apparently it changes depending on the mission. So apparently Bowkid has a disgusted face during the Toilet of Doom mission. So apparently I'm half decent at cropping out badges. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/do6dz74h3iwud77/featuringwhat.png?dl=0 Have an abusable transparency.

Some missions don't have Peace and Tranquility modes. Having a bitch of a time with "The Great Hootenanny" right now. Can't seem to do ANYTHING without getting hit by the parade.
Holy shit game. If I wanted to pick easy, I'd fucking do it. Stop sliding in all fucking coy after I die and keep me from getting back into the fucking fight asking if I want to bitch out 6 deaths in. No asshole, FUCK YOU. I'm only getting more tilted the more you fucking ask!

I love the music in A Hat in Time but the one complaint I have with most of it is that it all sounds inspired. Nothing jumps to mind that doesn't remind me of another song. Your Contract Has Expired reminds me of Megalovania, Rift Collapse reminds me of Wario Land, The Windmill reminds me of Oceanhorn... It's all good music, but sometimes it just doesn't feel that original, if that makes sense.
I think Heating Up Mafia Town is the single most unoriginal track I've heard in a video game. https://youtu.be/6T3h4dEeYQw It's like they googled "Mario Lava World Midi Instruments" and throw the regular Mafia town theme into it. The soundtrack does have some real damn gems though, just not many outside of the Bird Studios.
To be fair though, mafia town as a whole is an homage to super mario sunshine. Mafia town being somewhat tropical and all.
so, I managed to do the mafia jumps in less than 7 jumps, but I used the ice hat near the mafia when he was giving me the time piece, and THIS happened. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/235885/294c115c-18c3-4fe0-a312-8918b1cb9be2/253230_20180919014852_1.png I might uninstall myself from life after this.
My god, Train Rush No Jump Contract is pissing me the fuck off. The biggest problem is you can't climb ledge if your hanging on to it because the only way to do that is to press A. So that second are where the train disconnects is down-right shit.
I haven't even tried the contracts yet, I had no idea hat kid had a dance. This is amazing.
Press Up-Down-Up-Down quickly on the D-Pad to summon the dance at will.
Or, if playing on Keyboard, 1-4-1-4.
You can actually pull yourself up ledges if you use the "half A press" tactic. If you dive cancel with space, it doesn't count as a jump, so just dive, hit and hold space, and from then onwards any ledge that Hatkid grabs she'll pull herself up. Also woo! https://i.imgur.com/07wV0XN.png
Also, I finally updated the diary entries guide, so check out the Arctic Cruise diary entries.
Arctic Cruise Chapter 3 situation spoilers: They didn't remove the badge seller from the boat when it crashed: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/114090/e4e449fb-f2f9-4475-8b41-959e3bdfdc16/20180920220353_1.jpg

If there's going to be A Hat in Time 2 then jesus fuck they need to change up how the time rifts work. The coin collecting is mostly fine, but getting the storybook pages is a huge pain. The reward is basically meaningless if you don't collect every single one, and it's a bitch to find all the pages. They give you a counter of how many you collected, but considering it doesn't tell you how many there are in each section of the rift and the fact that you can't go back to any prior section that number is essentially meaningless and actually hurts you as you look over the final section of the rift for a page that was probably 3 sections back. And once again, fuck the fact that there's zero checkpoints in a sequence that could take 15+ minutes to get all the collectibles and fuck the fact that it takes all of those away when you die. I'd rather die 20 times after playing for 2 minutes each than to die 2 times playing for 20 minutes. Hard is fine in short bursts (see: Snatcher Deals), but to lose so much over so little just hurts.

Man, the EX bosses are tough. Hell, even with Mods on they're still very hard.
The storybook pages are hidden, optional collectibles in already optional side areas, a counter like that would be convenient but they're definitely meant to make you search for them not sure what the big problem is with having stuff in game be hard to find. As for the difficulty I don't mean to sound condescending but that's kind of on you, the purple rifts have a decent amount of healing items and aren't the most difficult platforming sections by a long stretch (in my opinion at least)
I love how quickly this game has made an identity for itself in such a short time without resorting to forced in-jokes and with no overtly referencing its influences. Even "cute-as-heck" is used very scarcely in marketing material.
The contract levels may be ball-bustingly hard, but I love how the load screen art is redone for each of them.
