Hololive's Koyori Hiroi plays a nostalgic game for about 18 hours straight! The excitement and excitement shown at the “Konkoyo Game Triathlon”

On May 4th, Koyori Hiroi, who belongs to the VTuber group “Hololive”, announced “Kirby: Dream Fountain Story,” “Wagan Land,” “Star Fox 64,” and “Super Mario World” under the name “Konkoyo Game Triathlon.” Play straight through. Although I was suffering from the difficulty of nostalgic games, I was able to successfully complete all the games.

◆May 4th is “Kyoyo Day”! This year's “Game Triathlon”
Koyori Hiroi has chosen May 4th as “Koyo no Hi'' after her own name, and distributes a planned program every year.

This year, the third year, we are holding the “Konkoyo Game Triathlon.” I played 4 retro games all day long (I guess I shouldn't get into the fact that it's a “try” athlon even though there are 4 games).

All of the games prepared this time can be played on Nintendo Switch. I also prepared a 64 controller for Switch and was fully prepared for the challenge.

◆He shows beautiful mistakes in “The Story of the Fountain of Dreams,” which allows for continuations.
The opening game was “Kirby: Dream Fountain Story,'' originally released for the Famicom.

At the time, it was common for players to start from the beginning when the game was over, but “The Story of the Dream Fountain'' is a conscientious design that carries over the clear status to some extent even when continuing.

Playing tag with the enemy at full power, using Kirby's copy ability “Wheel'' to rush down a cliff, and making beautiful mistakes here and there, the game progresses steadily.

I have already completed Kirby Super Deluxe via streaming in the past, so I am familiar with the controls.

However, the boss fights suddenly take on a shooter-like format. Although I had a bit of a hard time with the changes in the battle system, there are specifications that allow me to try again and again, so I grew through the battles. We successfully defeated the challenge and got off to a good start, completing it in just under 5 hours.

◆“Wagan Land” requires action and brain power
The following “Wagan Land'' is also a Famicom software. The feature of this game is the boss battle, which is a complete change from the action games up until then, and becomes a battle of wits such as shiritori and nervous breakdown.

Both are mini-games that are difficult to win unless you twist your head. This is where Koyori Hiroi, who calls herself the brain behind holoX, shows off her skills.

However, until the boss fight, you have to do the action elements well. The instruction manual says that you can continue play up to 8 times, and I was trembling as I watched the number of continues decrease gradually.

When I finally reach the game over for the 9th time, the word CONTINUE disappears from the title screen, and I am disappointed to find that the 1 hour of advance data has been lost.

However, this time, I was able to utilize my experience from my first play and proceed with more life remaining than last time.

On the way, I was lucky enough to get a flying item called a “Wagyacopter” and was able to run through to the final boss.

After completing the game in less than 3 hours, I tied up the Wagyakopter and tried again because the difficulty level had lowered.

The game was streamed in such a way that there was plenty of room to fully play with the action elements, belying the lackluster feel at the beginning of the game.

◆The madness shown in the shooting game “Star Fox 64” that I am not good at
20:00 arrived after overtime at “Wagan Land”.

So far, nine hours have passed since the start of distribution, but Koyori Hiroi has hit a big wall with the third title, Star Fox 64.

Shooting games are originally a genre that Koyori Hiroi is not good at. In addition, this is a game where if you lose all your remaining lives, there is no way to continue from the beginning.

Even though the game was over in the early stages, he retried from the beginning without giving up, but he struggled in the later stages and screamed when he used up all his remaining lives. Even so, I continue to play from scratch over and over again without relying on the “save anywhere” feature, which didn't exist at the time.

After a fierce battle lasting five and a half hours, we finally reached the final boss.

However, he is confused by the first movement and the game is over again.

Koyori Hiroi says that she saves her data wherever she goes, saying, “It's for peace of mind.'' However, after returning to the title screen, I selected a new game with no time. We decided not to rely on new features that are unique to modern times.

While re-challenging already cleared stages, comment section and strategy meeting about the final boss. He showed improvement by easily completing each stage, which he had struggled with a few hours ago, and successfully defeated the final boss in the revenge battle!

The growth and guts that were shown in a short period of time was a delivery that was full of the characteristics of Koyori Hiroi, who has cleared death games such as “Bloodborne'' and “Makaimura'' in the past.

◆Is this really the second time? “Super Mario World'' aims to clear at high speed
We have finally reached the final game, “Super Mario World.'' Since I had already cleared this game through streaming in the past, I aimed to play it for a short time using shortcuts this time.

Koyori Hiroi's Mario streams feature game overs that will make you laugh, such as falling after chasing a mushroom or a game over caused by a shell thrown by yourself.

As expected, once you've cleared the game, you'll be able to play with ease…but there were scenes where viewers were asked, “Are you sure you've cleared the game?” as they saw the same artistic fall as when they first saw it. .

However, Koyori Hiroi is still growing quickly. As you play, you regain your senses and use the shortcut “Star Lord” stage, and the play itself progresses smoothly.

It took about 2 hours to reach the front of Bowser's Castle, and it took about 3 hours, the fastest time for this project. Somehow, I managed to live up to my expectations for the second time I played.

Retro games are characterized by their high level of difficulty. Depending on the game, some people may have given up on completing it at that time.

This time, Koyori Hiroi's stream is full of scenes of how they face the difficulty and game overs that will make you laugh, making it a content that can be enjoyed by both those who played the game back then and those who are new to it.

In addition, Koyori Hiroi also played the original “Final Fantasy'' and “Transformers Convoy'' before and after this. Each one has a lot to offer, so if you're interested, why not check out that one as well?
