EDITOR'S HYPERBOLE NOTE: This is great! I want an Animal Crossing themed area with shops and places to eat. I want a store based on Style Savvy, a roller coaster based on F-Zero or Star Fox, I want Spinning Mushrooms and Donkey Kong's Super Splash Summit. I want Nintendo characters wandering the parks and I want Zelda's Castle. But I don't want a Rainbow Road Roller Coaster. Because Rainbow Road is where you go when you die.

On a side note, I would love a concert area based on Jam With The Band. Or they could have a long area based on Gaur Plains from Xenoblade Chronicles. Yup. They could populate it with mean, hungry, real animals like lions, tigers, bears, and elephants. The basic idea is that they lock you into it and you have to walk across the expanse with nothing but a fake plastic sword to protect yourself. Pretty much, it would be a realistic depiction of that game. Especially when I'm like. level 15 and I'm seeing giant creatures that are level 70 that I have to tip toe around. That game... that game...

Okay, it's a missed opportunity if there isn't a Kirby themed sweet shop. - Philip Wesley (Main Editor)
