Enjoy! Well, well... it's been a long time, but I'm back to this game yet again. This might be like the fourth time or so I've recorded a playthrough of this game in my entire Youtube career. Maybe one of my older playthroughs got all the puzzle pieces? I don't know. Anyways, as the playthrough is titled, I'm going after all the puzzle pieces. You know... the unimpressive collectables that only unlock concept art. Except here, I'm doing it fast (and sometimes reckless). Maybe it'll be fun?

Okay, I did find it a bit tough to find the best justification to make an updated playthrough of this game even though the Mirror/Hard mode one from a decade ago seemed fine to leave as is (and it will stay public as this playthrough covers a different angle to the game). The big reason is for my Donkey Kong marathon in which I recently updated the SNES country games for modern standards. So I felt the same could be applied to both this and Tropical Freeze as well.

Something I should point out about this Returns playthough specifically is how I recorded it: Now that the emulator flood gates have been opened for me earlier this year, I decided to capture this on Dolphin Emulator on my PC to get footage that looks nicer than if I recorded the game off my Wii U which would have looked noticeably crustier with it's smaller natural resolution.

And that's all I have to say. All levels, 100%, all puzzle pieces, do it quick, and make it look nice from both a visual and gameplay perspective. Hope you enjoy this updated playthrough!

This part will cover area 1, the Jungle.
