And one is found after reaching the end of the level. Another is earned by finding hidden L-U-C-K-Y letters similar to the K-O-N-G letters in Rare’s classic Donkey Kong Country on SNES. Another is hidden in a secret section that tests the player’s platforming abilities. One page can be found by collecting 300 coins of which there are way more than 300. But they all basically operate the same way in terms of what the player needs to accomplish. Some levels are 2D with the very rare few being endless runners. Most levels are 3D environments that Lucky can explore with an improved, player-friendly camera over the original. However, less than half of those found in each world are needed to open the door to that world’s boss fight. Lucky’s job is to collect all the missing pages. Solving a puzzle will earn you a page from the Book of Ages and there are four others hidden within each level. Portal doors lead to each level, though there are also secrets to uncover in each world in the form of extra puzzles or coins. New Super Lucky’s Tale is made up of six worlds and each world has several levels inside it. One tip told me I could purchase new costumes, but that he thought I looked fine just the way I am. Sometimes they’re more about how he REALLY wants to be Lucky’s best friend. One of the best characters in the game is Greg the Mailgolem, who gives the player tips in-between stages. For example, the farm world houses many worms that speak with a Southern twang. They also sound a bit differently depending on the world. There’s hardly any voiceover work in the game, though the NPCs speak gibberish similarly to those in Banjo-Kazooie. Each world Lucky explores comes with its own citizens that often bring out laughs. Interestingly, the side characters are showcased a bit more. If he’s standing still in a level, he’ll always look at the camera with a big grin on his face. All you need to know about Lucky is that he’s perpetually joyful. All you need to know about Spyro the Dragon is that he’s sassy and resilient. Although, much like classic 3D platformers, that’s not necessarily needed.
It doesn’t give too much characterization on the Guardians, Jinx, or even the protagonist. The game doesn’t work too hard when it comes to worldbuilding. However, in the original game, it was only four worlds. It sucks in the villains, Lucky, and the book, whose pages become scattered across six worlds. But after the feline sorcerer, Jinx, and his kitty litter (literally his children) lead a coup, a portal opens up. The game’s plot concerns a group of Guardians who protect the Book of Ages, a mystical tome that houses its own worlds and citizens. New Super Lucky’s Tale, however, makes several improvements on the original that make it more than worth any platforming fan’s time, even if it doesn’t bring much new to the overall genre. The camera was from a fixed angle, it was too short, and Lucky didn’t feel that unique in how he controlled. It was a clear homage to classic 3D platformers made by Rare like Banjo-Kazooie and Conker’s Bad Fur Day.
