Got it, and I also found the delivery side quest... but then when I went to the next boss it turns out it was a platforming challenge. Fuck that, quit before even trying to figure out how the mechanics work.

And I can't use Google search to backtrack from that dungeon either... so the last useful save I have is one right before I fought the DLC final boss. I guess I'll beat it again, do the delivery quest again, get the last plush again, but not go into Alwaysland 2, and then, uh, do the Sky Abyss again, I guess...

Bahaha, I don’t really blame you - that battle is very, very difficult (although not impossible!)

You should be able to use the Save Statue at the end of Alwaysland to warp back to the beginning, so there’s no need for all that replaying! D:

Thanks for that. Although there are still a lot of obscure things in this game that I have questions about. For example, what's with the instruction to use an egg against a 'gold enemy' to get a gold egg? I don't even have an egg to begin with.

If you check a certain bush on Artistry Highway in the base game, near the train tracks before the forest area, an Egg will pop out. It didn't have any use besides being a minor healing item (and a Paper Mario reference). So in the DLC, I decided to give it a new use! If you use the Egg in battle against a Karma Chameleon or a Pile o' Gold, it will turn into a Golden Egg that can be sold for a high price.

The game is full of tiny little secrets like that! :P

And where are the piles of gold again? Sorry, it's been a while since I remember encountering them...

No worries! They’re on the route between YouTube and 4chan. :D

Well I played through the true ending again and beat the final boss a second time (it was easy since I had the bouquet). I think that, apart from the annoying platforming bonuses which I don't feel like ever trying, I've probably explored at least 95% of what the game has in terms of content. I might play it again someday (but not any time soon, as even the mandatory platforming sections piss me off).

But overall I give it an A-. My biggest complaint (besides the platforming) is that my favorite website, YTMND, was only mentioned once... I wanted to visit it! Maybe there could be a special YTMND bonus episode? (YTMND is actually still around... well, it's glitched as of the last few days, but Max will fix it eventually, as he usually does)... I could even write the script for the YTMND adventure, if you would actually let me (probably not going to happen, but I figured I'd offer anyway).

What a journey it's been! Hearing your feedback has meant a lot to me, and I'm glad that you mostly enjoyed the experience! As for YTMND... well, I wasn't ever part of that community, so I didn't feel like I could do it justice. I'm very sorry! I would actually take you up on your offer to write a YTMND bonus episode, but this game with the already existing DLC currently uses up 997 of 999 possible map files, so there's not actually much room to squeeze in anything else! ^^;

By the way, I'm not sure if I've told you this, but I'm currently working on a full remake of the first game, BoxxyQuest: The Shifted Spires. It's not as long as the sequel, but it's shaping up to be even higher quality! (There's also no platforming sections whatsoever). If you want, I can let you know when it's finished, and I hope that you'll enjoy it as well! :3

That would be great.
