So I found out about Ribbit King because my childhood best friend had a game cube and the game at her house, and we would play it together. We weren't that good at it and we probably played the v.s. mode of the game more than the story mode, but I found the art and music of the game really memorable even without knowing much of the story.

I was sadly never able to get a copy of it when I eventually got my own gamecube during high school because the game was super expensive, apparently Game Grumps played the game in 2013 and popularized it. I was lucky that my boyfriend got me a PS2 copy of Ribbit King Plus! (which came with 28 short videos about the characters that you unlock while playing the game) for my birthday a year or two ago, and eventually one of my friends who has a PS2 let us play it. I ended up getting both of them into it, and we beat the game together for my birthday this year! We plan on playing the post game soon.

The characters have alternate outfits as you challenge them throughout the game, and since Princess Tippi–my favorite character–had a drastic change in her outfits, I thought that they were different people. It didn't help that my friends and I would call her blue outfit Tippi and her pink one Pippi (for Pink Tippi, but we definitely thought it was funny that it sounded like "peepee" lol). She's still my favorite character because I love characters with ocean related designs and she wears a talking fish hat! I also think that she really needs a power nap.

These are my favorite songs in the game's soundtrack!
