‘Splosion Man features “Kind Code”, Tutu

So it’s not exactly how Nintendo described the upcoming “Demo Play” feature in New Super Mario Bros. Wii but if you die enough times in ‘Splosion Man on Xbox Live Arcade you’re given the choice to simply “complete” the current level. You get no score and… a tutu that ‘Splosion Man wears through the next stage. That’ll learn ya! It doesn’t really address the issue of difficulty and adapting to the limits of a player’s abilities like Nintendo’s experimental feature but it’s nice to know that it’s in there. Even with infinite lives some of these stages are right on the cusp of my dexterity and ingenuity.
