Dreaming of Ninten

Yesterday, I had a little chat with Rizzo at Able Sisters. He said that the pressure to look stylish without copying other people was enough to make a guy stop wearing clothes. WHAT? Don’t you dare start running around this town naked, Rizzo! OMG!

Rizzo: But you gotta look just like 'em or you're not in style! It's enough to make a fella stop wearin' clothes!

Last night, I visited Nintendo’s official dream island (Ninten) at dream address 6382-1459-4417. It has some Mario-themed areas, including Mario’s name spelled out in mini-islands.

The land mass spells out MARIO.

And of course, it showcases the new Mario items and makes good use of the warp pipes. You can teleport to several spots around town.

Luigi jumps out of a warp pipe.

It’s a good island, but I was actually a bit underwhelmed. I guess I just expected something amazing coming from Nintendo. In fact, I think AT&T beat Nintendo at their own game! The AT&T Land island that I featured in Dream Island Hopping 4 was much more impressive.

Today, I found a lost item that was stained with drool! That’s kinda gross.

This looks like someone's diary. Is this stain from drool? Maybe they fell asleep on it while writing.

I figured it probably belonged to a lazy villager (Hornsby or Bones). So I asked Hornsby about it, and he admitted it was his diary. He thanked me for returning it by giving me a denim jacket. Fortunately, there was no drool on the jacket. 😉

Gulliver was in town, so I dug up the five pieces of his communicator. He will be sending me a reward in the mail tomorrow.

Gulliver: You're the best! Thanks for all your help. I promise to return the favor.

When I spoke with Midge, she said that my face is a real work of art today. Just like Tia the other day, Midge seems to be under the impression that I’m wearing makeup or something. I don’t understand where this is coming from. I even double-checked that I didn’t pick the rosy cheeks option and I’m not wearing any patterns on my face either. 🤷

Midge: Your face is a real work of art today, burrito.

I’m going to be busy finishing up my Mario obstacle course over the next couple days. See you all soon! 🙂
