Its so easy to miss this cause it happens quickly and his tone and face doesn't say "I have no future or hope for good times in it" when it happens. Plus theirs was a lot of other losing heroine plot going on so I kinda just didn't pay attention to it.

But thinking "seeing this is the peak of my life I can look back on during the rest of it when I end up sad and alone" when hes just a high schooler is pretty extreme even for an avoidant introvert. How many high schoolers have the capacity/maturity to think that far ahead in the first place, and here he is quitely accapting he can have no other fate than loneliness after school, forever, with a smile on his face. Its like I missed the part where he went through anger denial and bargaining over his hopes for the future and found him after he already reached acceptance.

If the anime gets a season 2 will it get a chance to tell us more about his past or is that too far in the future of the light novels?

Every time I see any course pop up where someone plays with making you use this hat, its basically the exact same challenge every time. Maintain your disguise hat while walking between a walking enemy like goombas or ants, and if you take dame thromps right above you the whole path will kill you.

And then they probably make you take damage because having that hat completely nerfs the rest of the courses more interesting and challenging enemies. Even Meowser holds still if you got the hat on.

Im interested in using that feature though for narrative purposes, the idea if getting to safely pass some bosses without being attacked is a cool story end to a course. But I also don't want to make such challenges way too easy or to use the same over used formula of making them harder because walking carefully in an ant line in a narrow passage isn't that interesting.

So what's some other things you've done with the Goomba Hat before?
