Late as in behind schedule, not dead. Though the way I play this game, yeah, also dead.

Thanks to David Morton for sponsoring this episode!

Kirby's Dream Course retrospective: Golf (horror) story | Super NES Works #561

By request of patron David Morton: A look back at Kirby's Dream Course. Yeah, it's way out of sequence, but that's the law that was laid down. A clever if unforgiving combination of Kirby and golf, Dream Course has flown under the Super NES fan radar for decades now. With its fresh re-release on the Super NES Classic Edition, now seems like the time to reevaluate the game… especially since its cruelest elements can be mitigated with liberal use of the Super NES mini's save states.

Yeah, the instant death from falling off the course is pretty brutal. I'm glad the two-player mode for Dream Course doesn't do that. It just takes off some of your health when your Kirby is airlifted back onto the field, and your opponent gets a turn before that happens, provided they still have health as well. It's really fun to see on Let's Plays, such as Game Grumps :)

I abused the heck out of restore points on Wii U to finish this game and I have no shame about it. Liked it otherwise. Seems like an odd choice for the SNES Classic Edition though
