Miracle Capsules are an obscure item in Mario Party 5 that very rarely sees use during gameplay. A player in last place has a low chance of getting a Miracle Capsule from a dispenser, and in the very unlikely case that the player can collect 3 of them, the player in last place receives all stars from the player in first place, heavily shaking up the game.

Curiously, if any player in 2nd or 3rd place manages to collect three Miracle Capsules (nearly impossible without luck manipulation and strategic use of the Lakitu Capsule to steal the capsule from the last place player, as that player is the only one who can receive them legitimately), as shown with Peach here, an amusing effect happens. Although Peach is in 2nd place, the Miracle Capsules still give all the stars from first place to last place, completely leaving Peach out of the equation despite her being the one to collect them.

In the even more unlikely case of the first place player collecting three Miracle Capsules, a failsafe activates and nothing happens, as keeping the same effect would be actively harmful to the player in that scenario.

Thoughts: PUBG Overreaction

Yesterday, news broke that PUBG will be getting microtransactions in the form of a lootbox this August. As is tradition with any gaming community, a lot of the fanbase broke out in anger and began to speak out against PUBG. While I understand that the language PU used was less than glamorous, I don’t get what the problem is. We were told these crates will be funding a community event and going towards charity, so what is the big deal? They’re also for COSMETIC purposes only, so again, who cares? Sure he said there would not b microtransactions during EA, but again they won’t be profiting off these MT so I don’t understand the big deal. Just don’t buy them. How hard is it to just say “Okay, thats fine. I just won’t buy them”. I guess I don’t understand why so many people are so up in arms about something that is completely optional and has no real purpose except customization. If this was a map or a gun this would be a different story and I would be singing a different tune, but it is just costumes. Pretty petty if you ask me. 

I love PUBG. I love playing PUBG because of how different it is to other competitive games out there. As long as Bluehole continues to support this game and be vocal to players I will continue to praise it. Just enjoy it and have fun!
