The scrap-collecting minigame in Sonic Frontiers on Chaos Island. It wasn't too hard and was pretty fun, too! I was surprised to hear people say it was hard when the same island has the pinball section (not super hard but it's mega jank and can take forever if you get unlucky because of the multiplier resetting) and Bridging The Gap (Fuck This One For Real).

More of a Yatsuhashi fan. It's the short hair.
As for Mai and Satono, that's one guy. You can't fool me.

Oh, jeez, it's been years since I've attempted that game... I remember really liking Meiling, because she's described as a defensive character with so-so damage output, and supposedly she was when the game was first released, but an update later on buffed her damage to a frankly ridiculous degree so now she's still a brick wall but also she blows people up. Very funny thing to do.

This is honestly kinda tricky... they're a really solid set of characters and/or fandom hallucinations, and yet none of them are my Big Favorites... I think I have to say Flandre. I love that she's edgy, a little snarky, and super chuuni, and that she serves as an antithesis to Remilia's attempted "high-class" demeanor. I want to make a fighting game moveset for her. Dress her in red and black instead of red and white for my ideal Flandre.

they really called that guy wriggle nightbug

Definitely Bouffalant because it's a really funny idea to take the insane potential of this wish and spend it on "literally just a buffalo with an afro"

When it comes to the official teams it has to be the K'/Maxima/Kula version of K's teams. The three of them being a weird little found family means a lot to me.

A classic for a reason. Great game. Really hard though. I don't think I'm cut out for its brand of secret hunting.
Also want to shout out Xevious Arrangement from Namco Classic Collection Vol. 1, even though it's even harder and the secrets are even more important. The gamelan soundtrack is a really inspired way to build on the original Xevious "music".

Not personally, sorry. There should definitely be more in fighting games and other action-type stuff though.
If you call me a "coward" or any variation you're getting blocked btw. Hate that shit.

Honestly it's basically just Hatate and Momiji. They're the only ones I really think about the dynamic of pulling them together and how they affect each other's lives. I do think Aya has a crush on Reimu though, but Reimu doesn't reciprocate (and to be perfectly honest I don't like how basically all Aya/Reimu fan content characterizes them together).
