Which World Is It In? Trivia Quiz

Answer: Pokemon

"Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team", along with its Red counterpart, was the debut of the "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon" spin off series, which would go on to have several future releases. The premise of this spin off is that Pokemon can talk and interact with the world around them similarly to real people.

Instead of roam worlds catching wild Pokemon and challenging big name trainers, this game often asks the player to create a small squad, usually a duo or trio, of Pokemon to go through procedurally generated dungeons. Along the way, in some cases, it can be possible to recruit enemies found inside of a dungeon.

Answer: Pokemon

This was the second "Pokemon" adventure on the Gamecube, following up "Colosseum". These games were spin offs with a fresh new premise. The evil team Cipher, inhumanely developing 'Shadow' Pokemon, is the main antagonist in both games. Wild Pokemon do exist in "XD" but the main way the player is meant to fill up their team is by snagging, essentially stealing, Shadow Pokemon away from anyone who is harboring them, then later purifying the Shadow Pokemon to undo the effect.

Answer: Pokemon

This was a third generation game based in the Hoenn region, the third third generation game at that. It aimed to be essential a 'definitive' way to play Hoenn, improving on many of the previous two games' shortcomings as well as offering a massively expanded post game, giving the player more to do after conquering the Elite Four and the Champion.

Answer: Mario

"Super Mario Galaxy" and its follow up sequel thrust Mario into outer space, offering for a very unique platforming situation. This game is somewhat similar to "Super Mario 64" in that the player is encouraged to play the game in an order of their choosing, collecting Shine Stars to eventually progress the game similar to Super Stars from the old N64 classic.

Answer: Mario

"Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time" is an old RPG inside of the 'Mario & Luigi' RPG spin off series. In this specific game, the brothers end up going back in time to retrieve Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, with dynamic gameplay including them in this turn based affair.

Answer: Mario

This long-standing series of racing games began in 1992 and would witness constant follow ups with numerous expansions along the way. From pixelated gameplay that can't crack 30 Frames Per Second consistently, all the way up to an open world with picturesque graphics and online functionality, the franchise has seen it all.

Answer: Donkey Kong

The "Donkey Kong Country" series goes several titles deep. The first three games of this series released in the mid 1990s. It would be fourteen years until "Donkey Kong Country Returns" released to reboot the franchise, which would then get "Tropical Freeze" over the ensuing years.

Answer: Donkey Kong

"King of Swing" released on the GBA, when it really should have been a DS title. The premise of this game was to use the shoulder buttons almost exclusively to swing from level to level. Incidentally, a DS successor to this game in "Jungle Climber" essentially does the exact same thing and received much better reception, almost entirely due to better hardware to support the idea this game was founded on. "Jungle Climber" makes use of the touch screen to swing with, which is overall simply much, much more fluid and responsive.

Answer: Donkey Kong

This was a racing game made for the Wii. When it was first revealed in 2006, it was actually being planned for the Gamecube as well, though this version would eventually go on to be cancelled.

With "Diddy Kong Racing" become a beloved classic by the fan base, you might think "Barrel Blast" could follow up effectively. The premise of the game is quite strong, featuring playable characters from the "Donkey Kong" world take to the skies and use the power of Kongo Drum-looking bongos to race with.

Sadly, this was also an era in which Nintendo was obsessed to its core with motion control functionality, forcing it into many, many games which, at best, could inoffensively handle such a scheme. This game was not one of them. This game received horrendous reception on launch, almost entirely due to said control scheme. Racing takes place exclusively using the Wiimote and Nunchuks. To give an idea of how bad this is, imagine driving your car in real life from the back seat using a laser pointer and a piece of string attached to the steering wheel. That may actually be charitable.

Answer: Kirby

"The Crystal Shards" was the Nintendo 64 big-scale adventure that Kirby got, to be compared eternally to similarly impactful titles such as "Super Mario 64", "Star Fox 64" and "Donkey Kong 64". While Kirby's entry may not be quite as universally beloved, it packed an adventure and gameplay which was arguably just as exciting.

This was notably the very first time King Dedede was both a direct ally and playable in a game.

Answer: Kirby

This game was simply loaded to its core for its time, a massive adventure for the GBA which had open world elements to it. This game came out in 2004, not 2026, so it was very far ahead of its time for what it was able to do. This was the very first handheld Kirby game in which more than two players could play together at once, as this one offers the option to host up to a whopping four other players inside the host's world. The co-op is entirely seamless and can be even quite thrilling to engage with, too.

On top of this game's mechanical strengths, it's simply just a fun game in general. It features all of the elements that make a "Kirby" game traditionally fun: it has a fun, groovy soundtrack, many fun abilities for Kirby to copy, and it even has a fairly strong story, albeit one with minor plot holes towards the end.

Personally, this game would get my vote for the greatest GBA game ever made, which is certainly controversial and probably puts me in the minority, but it's something you just have to experience for yourself.

Answer: Kirby

Despite the title, this is not a "battle royale" akin to a game such as "Fortnite" or "Call of Duty Warzone". There is a mild amount of combat, but the actual 'battling' is moreso competing in various multiplayer game modes. It's like a slightly more elaborate take on "Mario Party" without the macro-progression that game entails.

Answer: Star Fox

This game launched on the Gamecube. It was viewed as a return to form for the franchise following a very eccentric "Star Fox Adventures" which did not play out like much of a "Star Fox" game at all due to its origin in development.

This game, while being noticeably lengthier than "Star Fox 64", is still a very short game to play through once. The intention is to explore the game's multiple different 'pathes', which involve fighting new bosses and exploring different difficulty modes on different levels.

Although the actual game to be played is fun enough, this game is mostly celebrated amongst the "Star Fox" community for having an absolute banger for a soundtrack. To illustrate, consider that the "Super Smash Bros." franchise regularly pulls soundtrack from a myriad of games to fill out its own music performance and, despite there being more than ten "Star Fox" games, "Assault" was responsible for more than half the soundtrack catalogue for "Star Fox" in "Smash Bros. Ultimate".

Answer: Star Fox

This was a quirky tower defense game made for the Wii U. It was the first time in "Star Fox" history that a game under the team's name did not feature even one single character from the actual Star Fox team itself.

Answer: Star Fox

Did you enjoy "Star Fox 64"? Did you enjoy it so much that you were an advocate to see it get remastered three times? If so, "Star Fox Zero" would have been just for you, as this Wii U game functions as a remaster of the original N64 classic.

To summarize, "Star Fox 64" launched in 1997. It was first remade for the Nintendo 3DS in 2011, then remastered for the Wii U, then once again remastered in 2026 for the Nintendo Switch 2! That is how you know the game is replayable, because while you'd logically imagine the fan base would grow tired of such a pattern, each entry has received glowing reception on release. If you ask the average "Star Fox" fan to name their five favorite games in the franchise, it is probable that their list would mostly consist of either "Star Fox 64" itself or one of its numerous remakings.
