Super Mario 3D Land – Review

Gaming Chickadee — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 07:14:00 +0000

Super Mario 3D Land is among my favorite DS games. It’s a lot of fun to just pick up and play. The levels are great and the music too, and in my review for the game you can learn more!

Why Super Mario 3D Land?

Super Mario 3D Land is a colorful and creative Mario platforming game for the Nintendo 3DS. It combines the classic side-scrolling style of older Mario games with the freedom and depth of 3D Mario adventures. The result is a game that feels familiar while still introducing plenty of new ideas. I liked Super Mario 3D Land a lot because it is fun, charming, easy to pick up, and filled with clever levels, interesting power-ups, and secrets to discover.

One of the most interesting things about Super Mario 3D Land is the way it uses the Nintendo 3DS’s 3D capabilities. The levels are designed to look three-dimensional while still maintaining the straightforward gameplay of a traditional Mario platformer. Platforms can appear closer or farther away, objects can be positioned at different depths, and the 3D perspective can sometimes help players judge distances. Even without using the 3D effect all the time, the level design itself makes excellent use of the idea of depth.

The gameplay is one of the game’s biggest strengths. Mario automatically moves through traditional platforming environments, jumping over obstacles, defeating enemies, collecting coins, and reaching the goal. However, the levels are much more than simple paths from beginning to end. There are hidden areas, Star Medals, secret routes, and optional challenges that encourage players to explore instead of simply rushing toward the finish.

The Star Medals are especially fun to collect. There are three in each level, and some are placed in obvious locations while others require careful exploration or creative thinking to reach. Collecting all of them gives completion-minded players another reason to replay levels. I liked this system because it adds an extra challenge without making the main adventure unnecessarily difficult.

The Tanooki power-up is one of my favorite parts of the game. I really liked using the Tanooki Suit because it gives Mario a fun combination of abilities. Mario can use his tail to attack enemies and interact with objects, and he can briefly slow his descent after jumping. This makes the power-up useful for both attacking and platforming. It also feels like a great connection to classic Mario games while being adapted to the 3D Land gameplay.

The Tanooki Suit isn’t just useful—it is also fun to use. Having a tail that can smack enemies makes certain sections feel different from normal Mario gameplay, while the slower falling ability can help with tricky jumps. It adds another layer of strategy because players have to decide when to use their abilities rather than simply running through every level.

The game also includes several other familiar Mario power-ups and mechanics. Fire Flowers allow Mario to throw fireballs, while other items and transformations provide different ways to deal with obstacles. The variety keeps the gameplay from becoming stale, and levels are often designed around the abilities of particular power-ups.

Another great feature is the variety of environments. Players travel through grasslands, deserts, underwater areas, snowy locations, and other colorful worlds. Each area has its own obstacles and visual style, so progressing through the game feels like going on a real Mario adventure.

The music in Super Mario 3D Land is another highlight. The soundtrack is very catchy and upbeat, with tunes that stick in your head even after you stop playing. Many of the background tracks are light, cheerful, and energetic, which fits the fast-paced platforming perfectly. I especially liked how the music changes slightly depending on the situation, such as when time is running low or when you are in more intense sections. The sound effects also add to the experience, making jumps, coin collection, and power-ups feel satisfying. Overall, the music helps make the game feel even more lively and fun.

The game’s difficulty is another positive. The early levels are accessible enough for newer players, while later stages introduce more difficult challenges. This gradual progression makes the game approachable without making it boring for experienced players. There are also more challenging sections for players who want to collect everything and fully complete the game.

However, Super Mario 3D Land does have some disadvantages. One of the biggest is that the game is relatively straightforward compared with larger 3D Mario adventures. The levels are designed more like traditional Mario stages than huge open areas, so players looking for enormous worlds to explore may find the experience somewhat limited.

Another drawback is that some levels can feel short. While this works well for a handheld game, players who prefer lengthy stages may wish that certain areas lasted longer. The game’s focus on short, replayable levels is useful for portable gaming, but it can occasionally make the adventure feel less substantial.

The 3D effect is also not essential to enjoying the game. It can make certain elements easier to understand visually, but the game remains perfectly playable without it. Players shouldn’t expect the 3D feature alone to transform the entire experience.

How We Test Games

For testing games we use a Nintendo Switch firmware version 2H. Hardware includes Joy-con and Pro controller on a large screen TV. Tests are done with up to 5 players. We take turns playing and evaluating games.

Whenever possible we play multiple players. We also use a Nintendo 2DS, DS XL, and for PC games we use a Ryzen 7 1700x CPU, AMD RX580, running on Win 10. This game is up to 1-player on one Nintendo 2DS/3DS.

Pros

Fun combination of 2D-style platforming and 3D environments
Excellent level design
Creative use of depth and perspective
Plenty of Star Medals to collect
Great variety of worlds and obstacles
Several fun Mario power-ups
The Tanooki power-up is especially fun and useful
Catchy and memorable music
Accessible for newer players while still offering harder challenges
Lots of secrets and reasons to replay levels
Bright, colorful graphics and charming presentation
I liked the game a lot

Cons

Some levels can feel fairly short
Not as large or open-ended as some other 3D Mario games
The 3D effect isn’t necessary to enjoy the game
Experienced players may find the main adventure relatively easy
Some of the later challenges can become frustrating when going for complete collection

Summary

Super Mario 3D Land is a fantastic handheld Mario adventure that successfully combines traditional platforming with three-dimensional level design. It doesn’t try to be an enormous open-world experience—instead, it focuses on compact, creative levels that are easy to pick up but rewarding to replay.

I liked the game a lot, especially because there is so much charm packed into its levels. The Star Medals give completionists something extra to work toward, while the variety of worlds, power-ups, and catchy music keeps the adventure interesting. Most of all, I really enjoyed the Tanooki power-up. It is useful, fun, and gives Mario some great abilities that make platforming and defeating enemies more enjoyable.

Overall, Super Mario 3D Land is a fun, polished, and memorable Mario game. It may not be the biggest or most expansive game in the series, but its clever level design, enjoyable power-ups, secrets, catchy music, and portable-friendly gameplay make it an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys classic Mario platforming.

Super Mario 3D Land – Review brought to you by Gaming Chickadee

LEGO Party – Review

Gaming Chickadee — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 10:48:00 +0000

LEGO Party is a part of our collection of over 80 Switch games and it’s loads of fun. We love building LEGO sets and playing party game so combine them? It’s great! It reminds us a lot of Mario Party. Anyway, in my review for the game you can find out more.

Why LEGO Party?

LEGO Party is a colorful and entertaining party game that brings the playful humor and creativity of LEGO into a collection of mini-games. Rather than focusing on one long adventure, the game is designed around short, competitive challenges that players can enjoy together. It is a game that works especially well for people who enjoy multiplayer games and don’t necessarily want to spend hours learning complicated rules or mechanics.

One of the best things about LEGO Party is its variety. Instead of playing the same type of challenge repeatedly, players get to participate in different mini-games that test different skills. Some challenges are about timing and reflexes, while others involve memory, movement, or making quick decisions. This variety helps keep the experience fresh because you never quite know what kind of challenge is coming next.

The LEGO theme is another major strength. The game has the bright, playful appearance that you would expect from a LEGO video game, with colorful environments, silly characters, and plenty of humorous details. The LEGO style works particularly well for a party game because it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Even when you’re competing against your friends, the overall presentation feels cheerful rather than overly competitive.

The multiplayer focus is where LEGO Party really shines. Party games are at their best when everyone in the room can participate, and the game is built around that idea. Competing against friends or family can lead to plenty of funny moments, especially when a player who seems to be winning suddenly loses a mini-game and another player takes the lead.

The short length of the mini-games is also useful. Because individual challenges don’t require a huge time commitment, players can jump into a game, finish a round, and move on to something else. This makes it easy to play for a short period or settle in for a longer game session.

Another positive is that the game is approachable. You don’t need to be an expert at complicated video games to understand the basic idea behind most party-game challenges. This makes it suitable for groups with different levels of gaming experience. Someone who rarely plays video games can still participate alongside someone who plays regularly.

The LEGO humor adds another layer of entertainment. LEGO games have a reputation for using comedy and silly situations, and that personality works well here. The characters and environments can make even simple mini-games more amusing.

However, LEGO Party isn’t perfect. One potential drawback is that the quality and enjoyment of individual mini-games can vary. In a collection of many different challenges, it’s natural that some will be more entertaining than others. Players will probably develop favorites while finding other challenges less exciting.

Another issue is that party games depend heavily on having other people to play with. While a game can still be enjoyable in different ways, the biggest appeal comes from competing against friends and family. Someone primarily looking for a single-player LEGO adventure may not get as much enjoyment from this type of game.

The simplicity that makes the game accessible can also be a disadvantage for experienced players. Once you’ve played a particular mini-game several times, you may become familiar with its mechanics and strategies. Some players may want more depth or complexity than a short party challenge can provide.

There is also the possibility that repeated play can become predictable. After learning which mini-games are included and how they work, some of the surprise disappears. However, playing with different people can help keep things entertaining because every group reacts differently to the challenges.

How We Test Games

Whenever possible we play multiple players. We also use a Nintendo 2DS, DS XL, and for PC games we use a Ryzen 7 1700x CPU, AMD RX580, running on Win 10. This game is up to 4-players on one Nintendo Switch.

Pros

Fun LEGO-themed party experience
Large variety of mini-games
Colorful and cheerful presentation
Great for playing with friends and family
Easy for new and experienced gamers to understand
Short challenges make it easy to play casually
Funny LEGO-style humor
Different challenges test different skills
Good choice for game nights and parties
Encourages friendly competition

Cons

Some mini-games are more enjoyable than others
Best experience depends on having other people to play with
May not offer enough depth for serious gamers
Repeated play can make some challenges feel predictable
Players looking for a traditional LEGO adventure may prefer a different type of game

Summary

LEGO Party is a fun and colorful party game that makes good use of the playful personality of LEGO. Its biggest strength is variety: instead of asking players to learn one complicated game, it gives them a collection of shorter challenges that can be enjoyed together. This makes it especially suitable for families, friends, and casual gaming groups.

The LEGO presentation also gives the game a lot of charm. The colorful environments, humorous characters, and silly situations make the competition feel lighthearted. Even when someone loses, there’s usually something entertaining about what happened.

It isn’t necessarily the game to choose if you’re looking for a deep single-player adventure or a highly strategic experience. Some mini-games may also become less exciting after repeated play. However, those limitations are fairly understandable for a party game.

Overall, LEGO Party is a cheerful and accessible multiplayer game that is best enjoyed with other people. Its variety, colorful LEGO presentation, and easy-to-understand gameplay make it a fun choice for a casual game night. If you enjoy LEGO games and party games, LEGO Party offers a nice combination of both and can provide plenty of laughs when played with friends or family.

LEGO Party – Review brought to you by Gaming Chickadee

Kirby: Triple Deluxe – Review

Gaming Chickadee — Sat, 26 Sep 2026 13:18:00 +0000

Kirby: Triple Deluxe is one of favorite 2DS/3DS games to play. In the game you play as Kirby (of course) as he tries to King Dedede from Taranza! There’s also new Copy Abilities like Beetle, Circus, Archer and Bell! (my personal favorite.) Anyway, in my review for the game you can learn more.

Why Kirby: Triple Deluxe?

Kirby: Triple Deluxe is a colorful platform adventure starring the lovable pink hero Kirby. Released for the Nintendo 3DS, the game continues the classic Kirby formula of side-scrolling exploration, creative abilities, and lighthearted action. While the gameplay remains familiar to longtime fans, the game introduces several new mechanics and creative level ideas that make the adventure feel fresh and engaging.

The story begins when a mysterious beanstalk suddenly grows beneath Kirby’s house in Dream Land. The giant plant lifts parts of the land high into the sky, carrying Kirby along with it. As he travels upward through floating islands and strange environments, Kirby must uncover what is causing the disturbance and restore peace to Dream Land. Along the way, he encounters both new characters and classic enemies while working his way through a series of colorful stages.

Like most Kirby games, the gameplay centers around Kirby’s famous copy ability power. Kirby can inhale enemies and copy their abilities, allowing him to use a variety of attacks and skills. These abilities include familiar options like sword attacks, fire blasts, and ice powers. Each ability allows Kirby to interact with the environment in different ways and defeat enemies using unique strategies.

One of the most exciting additions in the game is the Hypernova ability. In certain sections of the game, Kirby gains the power to inhale enormous objects and enemies that would normally be far too large to swallow. With Hypernova, Kirby can pull huge trees, giant enemies, and massive obstacles toward him, clearing paths and solving puzzles. These moments feel powerful and often lead to creative puzzle sequences.

Another interesting feature is the use of the Nintendo 3DS’s layered screen depth. Many levels include multiple layers of platforms in the foreground and background. Kirby can move between these layers, which adds depth to puzzles and level design. Sometimes enemies appear in the distance before jumping forward, or hidden objects can only be reached by moving between layers.

The levels themselves are bright, imaginative, and full of personality. Players travel through many different environments, including grassy hills, caves, forests, and more unusual areas. Each world introduces new enemies, puzzles, and visual themes that keep the adventure interesting as Kirby climbs higher toward the mysterious source of the giant beanstalk.

Hidden collectibles are also an important part of the game. Players can search each level for special keychains and collectibles hidden in secret areas. These items encourage players to explore every corner of each stage rather than rushing straight to the end.

In addition to the main adventure, the game includes several extra modes that add replay value. These modes offer different gameplay challenges, such as quick action stages or boss fights. They provide fun distractions from the main story and give players new ways to use Kirby’s abilities.

Visually, the game is bright and cheerful, matching the friendly style that Kirby games are known for. Characters are colorful and expressive, environments are detailed, and the animations feel lively. The music also fits the playful atmosphere, with upbeat tunes that match the action on screen.

However, the game does have some limitations.

One issue is that the game is relatively easy compared to many other platform games. While this makes the game accessible for younger players or newcomers, experienced players may find that the main story does not provide much challenge.

Another drawback is that the main adventure can be completed fairly quickly. While the hidden collectibles and extra modes add replay value, players focused only on the story may finish the game faster than expected.

Some players may also feel that the gameplay does not introduce many major changes compared to earlier Kirby titles. While the Hypernova ability and layered stages are creative additions, the overall structure remains very similar to previous games in the series.

Even so, these issues do not take away from the game’s charm and creativity.

How We Test Games

Pros

Bright, colorful level design full of imagination.

Fun copy abilities that give Kirby many different powers.

Creative Hypernova ability that changes gameplay.

Clever use of layered environments on the 3DS screen.

Hidden collectibles encourage exploration.

Extra modes add replay value.

Cons

The game is fairly easy for experienced players.

The main story can be completed relatively quickly.

Some players may feel the gameplay is similar to earlier Kirby games.

Summary

Overall, Kirby: Triple Deluxe is a charming and enjoyable platform adventure that captures everything fans love about Kirby. Its colorful worlds, creative mechanics, and friendly design make it especially welcoming for younger players and anyone who enjoys relaxing platform games. While it may not be the most challenging entry in the series, the fun abilities, imaginative levels, and cheerful atmosphere make it a delightful adventure in the world of Kirby.

Mario – Review brought to you by Gaming Chickadee

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Videogame – Review

Gaming Chickadee — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 22:28:58 +0000

We got LEGO Ninjago the videogame after we watched the movie. We love LEGO Worlds and LEGO Incredibles so we decided to try out this one that claimed to be 4-player. It’s mostly only 2-player though other than a mode you can unlock to do 4-player. It’s loads of fun and in my review you can learn more!

Why LEGO Ninjago?

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game is an action-adventure game based on the LEGO Ninjago Movie. Like many other LEGO games, it combines exploration, puzzle-solving, and light combat with a humorous tone and colorful LEGO-style visuals. Players take control of a team of ninja heroes as they defend their city from villains and learn to master their ninja abilities.

The story follows the events of the LEGO Ninjago Movie. The peaceful city of Ninjago is constantly threatened by the villainous Lord Garmadon and his army of sharks. A group of young ninjas, including Lloyd, Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, and Nya, must work together to stop his attacks and protect their home. Along the way, the characters grow stronger, learn teamwork, and develop their skills as ninja warriors.

Each ninja character has unique abilities that help solve puzzles and defeat enemies. Lloyd, the Green Ninja, plays a central role in the story and uses powerful combat moves. Kai specializes in fire attacks, while Jay uses lightning abilities. Cole has strong earth-based powers, Zane uses ice techniques, and Nya controls water. These abilities are used throughout the game to overcome obstacles and unlock new areas.

One of the biggest changes from many earlier LEGO games is the combat system. Instead of simply pressing one button repeatedly, players can perform combos, dodge enemy attacks, and use different moves during battles. Enemies can block attacks or fight back, which encourages players to move around and use strategy during combat. While the system is still simple enough for younger players, it adds more excitement to fights.

Another interesting feature is the Ninjagility movement system. This system allows characters to run along walls, leap across poles, and climb through special obstacle courses. These sections add a sense of speed and action to the platforming gameplay, making movement through levels feel more dynamic than in some previous LEGO games.

The levels are based on different parts of Ninjago City and the surrounding areas. Players travel through busy city streets, rooftops, secret ninja bases, and enemy strongholds. Each location is filled with enemies, puzzles, and collectibles. As in most LEGO games, smashing objects and collecting studs remains a major part of the experience.

In addition to the main story, the game includes large open hub areas where players can explore freely. These areas contain side missions, hidden collectibles, and extra challenges. Players can also unlock many different characters from the Ninjago universe, giving them more options for exploring the game world.

One of the most unique modes in the game is the battle arena mode. This multiplayer feature allows players to compete against each other in various arenas. Different modes include team battles, capture-style challenges, and free-for-all fights. This adds extra replay value and gives players a fun way to compete with friends or family.

Visually, the game stays true to the LEGO style while capturing the colorful energy of the Ninjago world. Buildings, vehicles, and characters are built from LEGO bricks, and the environments are bright and lively. The animation is smooth and the action scenes feel energetic, especially during combat sequences.

The game also features voice acting and cutscenes that recreate moments from the movie. The dialogue often includes playful humor, which is a trademark of LEGO games.

Despite these strengths, the game does have some drawbacks.

One issue is that the gameplay can still become repetitive over time. Even though the combat system is more advanced than older LEGO games, players still spend a lot of time fighting enemies and breaking objects.

The story mode is also relatively short compared to some other LEGO titles. While the open areas and collectibles add extra content, the main storyline can be completed fairly quickly.

Another potential downside is that players who are not familiar with the Ninjago characters may not connect with the story as strongly as fans of the series.

Even with these minor issues, the game remains an exciting and accessible action adventure.

How We Test Games

Whenever possible we play multiple players. We also use a Nintendo 2DS, DS XL, and for PC games we use a Ryzen 7 1700x CPU, AMD RX580, running on Win 10. This game is up to 2-players on one Nintendo Switch and 4-players in competition mode.

Pros

Fast-paced ninja combat system with combos and dodging.

Unique Ninjagility movement system for climbing and wall-running.

Colorful LEGO environments inspired by Ninjago City.

Large open hub areas with collectibles and side missions.

Multiplayer battle arena modes for extra fun.

Cooperative gameplay that works well for families.

Cons

Combat and gameplay can become repetitive over long play sessions.

The main story mode is somewhat short.

Players unfamiliar with the Ninjago series may feel less connected to the characters.

Summary

Overall, the LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game is a fun action-packed LEGO adventure that focuses on teamwork, ninja skills, and fast-paced combat. The improved fighting mechanics and movement system make it feel more energetic than some earlier LEGO titles. While the story may be short and the gameplay somewhat repetitive, the colorful world, cooperative play, and exciting battles make it an enjoyable experience for fans of LEGO games and ninja adventures alike.

Sail north west from Jorvik to the archipelago known as the Outer Dapples, and you’ll soon find yourself surrounded by ice floes. It is out there, on the sea ice, that the noble horse known as Brinicle roams.

With its signature frozen mane jutting from its forehead like a crystalline horn, Brinicle is also known as a “Floe Unicorn” by the Wild Wardens who keep watch over the herd. The icy mane can be quite sharp, with Brinicle mares using them to spar and assert dominance in a herd.

Brinicle survives primarily on a diet of lichens, the only plant life that grows on the remote rocky islands it calls home. Occasionally they will supplement their diet with seaweed that they access by piercing the ice with their forelock “horn.”

If you should be so lucky as to touch a Brinicle, do not be alarmed by the lack of body heat. Brinicle is the most cold-blooded of all breeds, with its warmth hidden behind a thick coat and squishy layer of blubber-like fat.

With arctic ice in decline, the future of wild Brinicles is uncertain. Fortunately, the breed is adaptable enough to survive on mainland Jorvik, and can even be quite healthy and happy living around humans. Should you adopt one, make sure it has access to a fresh salt lick and give it frequent brushings with a curry comb.

Like other Magic Horses in Jorvik, Brinicle shows its true colors in wild places and will conceal its appearance in populated areas. Whether in its magical ‘floe unicorn’ form or disguised to blend in with other horses, Brinicle rides just like the North Swedish horses it is descended from.”

Pepita

No one knows where Pepita, also known as a ‘Gjourd Horse,’ comes from. The mysterious breed tends to show up in late autumn when the leaves have turned and mornings are frosty.

A social breed, herds of Pepita tend to pop up on the outskirts of Jorvik’s agricultural lands. Whatchful farmers hope for a glimpse of the curious horses observing the harvest, as Pepita is considered a good luck omen. In some rural corners of Jorvik, children leave a bucket of candy corn on the edge of fields as an offering of good will.

Pepita has a cozy scent reminiscent of nutmeg and cloves. Its mane is course and grows quickly. While Pepita is and excellent riding horse for all hours of the day, you can tell by the glimmer in its eyes that it most enjoys going for rides at twilight.

Like other Magic Horses of Jorvik, Pepita shows its true colors in wild places and will conceal its appearance in populated areas. Whether in its pumpkin-like form or in disguise, Pepita rides just like the Fjord Horses it most resembles”

Woodear

The horse known as “woodear” hails from damp forests of Evermist in the far north of Jorvik. It is said to have evolved from Fjord horses that spent a little too much time in bogs rich with pandoric energy.

Long thought to be unrideable, it was only after years of research that a Druid herbalist named Hazel Stamets realized Woodear doesn’t experience sight and sound like other horses, but rather communicates with its herd through a mycelial network in the very ground of Jorvik.

Woodear has a distinctive mulchy odor that, while intense at first, really grows on you. It loves nothing more than long rides in bogs and wet forests. When kept in a stable, Woodear prefers a box close to the shower stall.

Like other Magic Horses of Jorvik, Woodear shows its true colors in wild places and will conceal its appearance in populated areas. Whether in its fungal form or in disguise, Woodear rides just like the Fjord Horses it is descended from.”

Tombhoof

“All Hallows’ eve. On this day, the veil between the world of the living and the departed is the thinnest. Spirits can pass from our world to and theirs as they please. On the island of Jorvik, this is when Tombhoof can roam freely.

Tombhoof are the forgotten spirits of horses who once lived. They come to Jorvik to be remembered. By bonding with a human, they get a chance to live again, in their own spectral way.

Tombhoof is found in the lush green of the Forgotten Fields, where many a Jorvegian has claimed to see a ghostly herd of horses, roaming among the midnight mists.

The ghostly nature of Tombhoof has turned them into quite shy creatures, so it will take a while for them to warm up to you and the other horses in your stable. But once you do become friends, you gain loyalty and devotion like no other.

On Jorvik, death is not something to be feared. It is a part of the cycle of life. Nature dies in the winter to bloom again in the spring. People say goodbye to their loved ones, but they are kept alive through memories. And the horses of Jorvik become one with the Earth [sic], only to come back as the legendary Tombhoof and roam the lands once more.

Magic Horses on Jorvik are creatures of stories and folklore. As the tales are passed down over the ages, the legends of these horses have been kept alive.

Like other Magic Horses in Jorvik, Tombhoof shows its true colors in wild places and will conceal its appearance in populated areas. Whether in its magical form or disguised to blend in with other horses, Tombhoof rides just like the American Quarter Horse it most resembles.”

Petra

“Across Jorvik stand ancient runestones, the legacy of Druid stonecutters working in Aideen’s name to protect the island. According to legend, a master stonecutter, through the power of the Star Circle, could imbue runestone with life itself! From such miraculous craftsmanship did Petra gallop forth from the earth.

Petra’s hoofsteps can make ground tremble. But as Petra is a gentle soul, they don’t want to see the world destroyed by their thundering hooves. That’s why you can often find Petra standing still as a statue among nature, allowing vines and flowers to grow on their back.

This relaxed attitude makes Petra an easy-going riding partner, happy to meander trails and stop to munch on moss.

But one must never forget Petra’s true nature, as an ancient force of magic born of the land itself. As long as Aideen’s light shines on Jorvik, Petra will live on for centuries to come. To ride one is a gift to bond with this horse is to touch the eternal.

Though Petra have appeared throughout Jorvik, wherever runestones lie, these mythical horses seem to be drawn to the Wildwoods, where Jorvik’s primal magical energies are strongest.

Like other Magic Horses in Jorvik, Petra prefers to show its true colors in wild places and conceal its appearance in populated areas. Whether in its magical for or disguised to blend in with other horses, Petra rides just like the Clydesdales it most resembles.”

“Across Jorvik stand ancient runestones, standing tall and proud for centuries, carrying with them the secrets of Druids and Aideen. Sometimes, dark forces can corrupt the sacred runes, crumbling these monuments. It is from these shattered sigils that Erinys was born.

Jorvegian folklore claims that wherever and Erinys walks, they leave a trail of cracked earth behind them. if left unattended for too long Erinys might gallop off, seeking vengeance on those who destroyed the runestones they came from.

Erinys’ fierce and tireless nature makes them a dedicated riding companion, always eager to push their limits and become stronger and faster.

Born in shadow, Erinys hopes one day to be welcomed back into the earth from which it sprung. Perhaps by bonding with this tragic steed, you can help it come a few steps closer to redemption.

Faramawr

“Once upon a time, a down-on-her-luck apprentice stable hand left the safety of home and stable to seek her fortune. Through trials and tribulations, she made her way to the very heart of Jorvik, beyond the fabled Ashlands, into the crater of Garnok’s Fury.

The Young hero returned with two impossibly large gems. Thinking her fortune made, she headed home to present her treasures to the queen, but before her audience, the gems split open, revealing a pair of scaly dragons. In the blink of an eye, the dragons transformed into majestic horses! Called in to present her gift to the queen, the girl had nothing to give but a fantastic tale and two seemingly ordinary horses.

Faramawr the green embodies prosperity and life thriving after disaster, like the fertile soil and new islands formed in the wake of a volcanic eruption. They also represent precious minerals and jewels born of fire. Faramawr reminds us to seize opportunity before it passes by. This is a proud beast who requires hard work and patience before it will go under saddle, and its favor can be lost in an instant if it senses a decline in your bold spirit. But if you rise to the challenge and persist, you will be rewarded with a trusted and devoted friend.

Dragon horses are notoriously vain, which is why they disguise themselves as Friesians, considering the breed the most beautiful and regal of all horses. Few can see through the illusion, and they only choose to reveal their true forms to those they deem worthy.”

Shadowshield

“One winter night a woman was traveling home through a forest. Brigands found her, but before she was robbed a mare appeared from the darkness. The woman climbed onto the offered back and the mare raced away, chased by the bandits. When the mare reached open fields illuminated by starlight she stopped, the woman frozen in fear as the robbers neared. But the brigands galloped past, the mare creating a shield of darkness that hid her and the woman. With the danger gone the mare carried her rider home. The woman thanked her savior with food and a warm stall to rest in, and in the morning the mare was gone. The woman no longer found winter nights cold, and she never lost her way at night again.

Shadowshield is one of Jorvik’s night spirits, a kind horse who guards those who venture into the darkness. She is happiest when racing with the Snowdancer stallion, as they are the snow under a clear night sky, glittering in the starlight. Every winter they meet, dancing and running together through and above the snow, the darkest night of the year meeting with the brightest white snow.

Shadowshield takes the form of an Arabian, a breed as enduring as the night sky. Like other magical Jorvegian horses they can disguise their true colors and gold markings, especially if they don’t trust a person. They are gentle and protective, tending to stay back and quietly observe. They respond to praise and gratitude, glad when their efforts are rewarded. If you match their gentleness and appreciate the silent moments, you will find the Shadowshield is a natural guardian and life long companion.”

“A wealthy man once lost his way in the first winter’s snow. He was sure he would perish until a beautiful stallion appeared, white, black, and gold. The stallion urged the man onto his back and carried him home, leaving no hoofprints as the steed ran on top of the snow. The man was taken by the gold markings on his savior, and instead of gratitude tried to possess the horse as another item amongst his riches. But when the snow melted the horse was gone, along with all the man’s possessions.

Snowdancer is one of Jorvik’s winter spirits, a benevolent but proud horse that does not take insults lightly. He is at his most breathtaking when running with the Shadowshield mare, as they are the snow under a clear night sky, glittering in the starlight. Every winter they meet, dancing and running together through and above the snow, the darkest night of the year meeting with the brightest white snow.

Snowdancer takes the form of an Arabian, delicate enough to walk over snow when not playing in snow drifts. Like other magical Jorvegian horses they can disguise their true colors, especially if they don’t think a person is worthy. They are a horse that appreciates manners and gratitude, easily developing grudges when insulted. They enjoy flattery, pleased when their beauty and ability is praised. Be ready for a strong willed horse, but earning their respect will reward you with a loyal friend for life.”

Birkir

“Jorvegian folklore abounds with tales of tree spirits appearing as horses and nearly every tree has its own story.

The Birkir is the horse of birch trees. Encountering a Birkir is a sign of a new beginning after overcoming hardship. They are most common in springtime and regularly aid lost travelers.

As spring crept over the land a grove of birch trees stirred, shaking off their winter slumber. Their waking was disturbed by a traveler in the forest, crossing back and forth.

The trees watched the traveler wander in circles before finally admitting they were lost. The traveler sat at the base of a birch tree, tears welling up in their eyes as they begged for some sign from the forest of where to go.

A breeze blew across the traveler’s cheek. When they turned they saw it was not a tree they were leaning against, but the leg of a horse. The horse was white and black with green leaves budding from its mane. The horse’s gaze offered help. Gratefully, the traveler followed the Birkir to the edge of the wood and made it safely home.

The Birkir takes after the lithe Marwari, as straight and slender as the trunks of birch trees. While they normally resemble birch trees, they can magically disguise themselves as normal horses.

Naturally brave, they are ready to dive into the next adventure with their rider.”

Hanami

“Jorvegian folklore abounds with tales of tree spirits appearing as horses and nearly every tree has its own story.

The Hanami belong to cherry trees and are a symbol of rebirth and herald of spring. Like blossoms, they are a reminder to treasure the beauty of today for it may be wilted and gone tomorrow, but will return again.

Word of Jon Jarl spread all the way to Japan. As a gift of friendship the Emperor sent cherry trees, which were planted in the long-since overgrown gardens of Doyle’s Abbey. The journey was difficult on the trees and it seemed they did not survive the winter, yet when spring came a few pink buds appeared.

With careful tending the trees lived. The garden was a favorite place to celebrate friendship. But the sakura eventually succumbed to the wilderness, the original trees dying until only one was left, and once more it did not seem to survive the winter.Yet when spring came the final tree produced one last giant bud that held a foal of blossoms and bark inside. The foal grew quickly but disappeared when the last cherry blossoms withered away, only to return the following year, happy in the garden.

In modern times, cherry blossom trees on Jorvik are few and far between, but the legend of the Hanami and the gifted sakura saplings lives on.

To the untrained eye, the Hanami appear as a regular Percheron working horse, but to those who are magically inclined, their flowing flowery manes and bark-like coat are a sight to behold.

Depending on their mood they can appear in their natural cherry tree color or as an ordinary horse. They are calm, happy to stop and smell the flowers and take in the natural beauty around them.

As companions they are steadfast and fearless, taking their rider into whatever adventures await.”

At the turning of the first leaf from green to gold the Hemera arrive from their ancient forest home in north west Jorvik. More than one rider has encountered these unicorns on the Light Ride in Golden Hills Valley among the fallen leaves.

Druids who watch over the wild horses of Jorvik are unsure how these autumn unicorns came to be, speculating a strange mixing of fairy, druid, and nature magic changed the native wild horses into something mystical. Regardless of their origins, these horses have become a sign of autum, with some legends suggesting they are responsible for the changing colors and shortening days. They want to warm the world against the coming winter and every day take a little bit of sunlight to use as paint for the leaves, coloring the trees in fiery colors. Stories say they emerge only during the day and prefer to remain in deciduous forests, where the trees change their colors and drop their leaves.

The Hemera seem to glow with warmth and positive energy, eager to face any new day. They adapt well to change, thriving on new experiences with their friends. Whether in their true magical colors on in disguise, they ride like the Haflingers they resemble.”

Umbra

“Lunar cycles on Jorvik are an enigma, but on the special occasion that a new moon brings darkness to the land, the inky unlit night lures out a graceful horse known as Umbra.

Preferring to stick to the shadows of thick forest, Umbra finds its home in the thicket, favoring the faint glow of firefly light to guide their way through the woodland.

Due to its fiery mane, Umbra has a body temperature much higher than other horses and is always eager to break into a gallop, racing after the stars in the night sky.

Jorvegian legend claims that a brooding magical horse used to skulk around the far side of the moon until, one day, the fires of Garnok’s Fury caught its curiosity. The mythical horse fell from the moon into the bubbling volcano, setting its mane ablaze. It is said that the Umbra that wander Jorvik are descendants of this mythical creature and that to this day they gaze longingly at the moon they can never return to.

Like other Magic Horses in Jorvik, Umbra shows its true colors in wild places and will conceal its appearance in populated areas. Wether in its magical form or disguised to blend in with other horses, Umbra rides just like the Andalusians it shares ancestry with.”

Whimsical by nature, Tellina prefers to stick to the shallow waters and rocky outcrops of Jorvik’s coast, collecting seashells with a mother-of-pearl sheen that matches their glossy coat.

Because of their affinity for shiny things, Tellina has developed a sharp vision and can spot things from great distances, but this means that they are sometimes easily distracted.

Jorvegian seafarers share fascinating tales of magical sea-horses that only appear when in dire need. When a sailing party gets lost on the seas, they claim to see a pearlescent horse appear on the rocks, their presence calming the troubled sailors.

Dark as the night, Dorcha is known as the guardian of the caves. They are the skittish sort, rarely coming to the surface and avoiding pink cracks that break through the cave floors, unlike their purple-maned counterparts.

Traversing the dim caverns has given Dorcha excellent special awareness, but they can be agitated in open fields as they’re used to the narrow caverns. Stories say that if a traveler gets lost in the winding caves, Dorcha will help, guiding them to the surface but stopping just short of the light.

Their name comes from the Irish word for darkness and mystery, alluding to the temperament of this shy and enigmatic creature. Dorcha’s coat has many ‘eyes’ that closely resemble a peacock’s feathers. Jorvegian storytellers allude this to the peacock butterfly, passing between worlds as the legends tell.

Their time spent in the pin unreality has affected Solas’ metabolism, giving them seemingly boundless energy. Jumping between floating islands has also made them surprisingly fleet-footed.

Their name comes from the Irish word for brightness and illumination, much like the horse’s vibrant coat and personality. Solas’ coat has many ‘eyes’ that closely resemble a peacock’s feathers. Jorvegian storytellers allude this to the peacock butterfly, passing between worlds as the legends tell.

Like other Magic Horses in Jorvik, Solas shows its true colors in wild places and will conceal its appearance in populated areas. Whether in its magical form or disguised to blend in with other horses, Dorcha rides just like the Irish Cobs it most resembles.”

But as the sorrow of separating day and night grew too painful, they begged and pleaded to the sun and the moon to be allowed to roam Jorvik together.

So their wish was granted; Luna morphed into an Ardennes, wings billowing across their sides, and Monarch transformed into a Belgian Warmblood with colorful wings stretching towards the sky. Now roaming across lush fields, Monarch dashes with the memories of soaring, but Luna never fails to bring them back to earth, reminding them to stop and smell the roses.”

Halloween Magical Horses

Although we don’t like the Halloween event others do and therefore here is a list of all the Halloween Magical Horses released so far.

Duskgrim

“Jorvik is rich with tales of nature spirits appearing as horses. Two of those spirits are strongly linked to grim stories reminding the listener that appearances are deceiving. The Duskgrim of the barren mountains look deadly even though they come to help. On the flip side the Songsorrows seem tame, even pitiful, until it is too late to escape the vicious water horse.

Myths tell of a horse followed by ravens descending to Jorvik and appearing to an unsuspecting person. The inky black horse charges at the human, the fearsome appearance and cawing ravens driving the person away in terror. Later the person finds tragedy has struck, unaware the Duskgrim appeared to help guide them from disaster. The well meaning spirit is treated as an omen of doom, their mere presence bringing despair even though they come to help. Despite the grim legends a white Duskgrim is good luck, a messenger from fate of a bright new dawn. Even with positive associations, like luck and the day night cycle, Duskgrim are largely seen as spirits surrounded by death, though they are never the cause.

As a legend intrinsically tied to Jorvik’s landscape it is no surprise that they appear as Jorvik Wild Horses. They use illusions to appear as normal pale horses when traveling from their mountain peak home but reveal their true colors to those they trust.

Like ravens, Duskgrims are incredibly intelligent and social, perhaps unaware of the stories they are a part of. They reward those who show them kindness with unwavering loyalty. Earning the trust of a Duskgrim is to earn a friend for life, and perhaps beyond.”

Songsorrow

The Songsorrows are Jorvik’s waters given threatening form. Nearly every beach, river, and lake has at least one story of a Songsorrow. In some accounts the water source was created by the horse’s tears after losing their rider, and now the spirit waits for their rider’s return, crying a haunting song that lures the unsuspecting onto their back. The person may be released when the Songsorrow realizes the human on their back is not the one they are waiting for. The other possibility is the Songsorrow, in a grief stricken rage, will drag the human into the water never to be seen again. Deadlier waters tend to have stories of Songsorrows not driven by mourning but malice, using their song to intentionally draw in victims who rarely escape a watery grave. The main similarities across all the legends is that the spirits sing and create sorrow, intentionally or not.

As a legend intrinsically tied to Jorvik’s landscape it is no surprise that they appear as Jorvik Wild Horses. They disguise themselves as beautiful, if otherworldly, white horses to hide their true watery appearance. Seeing their true form is a sign of trust, whether as a friend or as a victim who won’t share the secret is up to you.

Songsorrows, as embodiments of water, are versatile in temperament. They can be calm or dangerous, frozen or boiling, and should be treated with caution. To befriend a Songsorrow is no easy task as they are willful creatures, demanding time and patience to overcome their emotional and volatile nature.

Or perhaps you are the one they have been waiting for all this time?”

But Laverna is a powerful soul, and before long she created a solid body in the shape of a created she saw around Jorvik that was suitable for her interests. Disguised as a horse, she got up to all kinds of mischief, preferring the “trick” in “trick or treat.”

Laverna fashioned her body after an American Paint Horse; she likes the splashy colors even when concealing her magical coat and mask. She employs nighttime and shadow as cover for thievery. Mischief is her entertainment, so be prepared to keep an eye on her!”

A maniacal laugh echoed throughout the strange laboratory as a robotic horse became aware of his existence. Terrified and confused, the horse kicked out of his restraints and crashed past the evil scientist into the lashing rain.

‘Monstrous creature!’ cried the evil scientist. ‘Return to do as I command!’

‘I know not what I am, but I know I am not a monster’ thought the newly-born creature. He ran and ran, away from his creator, in search of a friend.

He strolled over to his carousel. When his gaze fell upon the most beautiful horse, he felt a spark of dark inspiration.

He journeyed to Devil’s Gap to siphon a measure of the potent energy. He returned to the horse, anointed her with the substance, and spoke a strange incantation into her ear.

There was a crack of splintering wood as the horse broke free from her imprisonment and ran from the carousel’s platform. “Stop!” screamed Ydris. “You’re mine! I gave you LIFE!”

“I am not his!” she thought. A tear rolled down her painted face as she continued to run.

“Suddenly, leaves rustled behind her. She snapped her head around, and there he was. A Jorvik Mountain Horse, but more wolf than horse. His lips pulled into a snarl, saliva dripping off his teeth.

Christmas Magical Horses

WE LOVE ALL THEESE HORSES! Below is a full list of every Christmas Magical Horse released so far.

Fawncy

When riding through the wintery woods near Meander Village, the shy deer you glimpse hiding in the brush might not be a deer at all. It might be the most beloved of Jorvik’s magical horses – Fawncy!

This spotted wonder seldom leaves its woodland home, preferring the company of rabbits, skunks, and foxes to other equines. To better avoid forest predators, Fawncy has evolved to be almost completely odorless. Even resting, it’s heart beats twice as fast as a normal horse, which amplifies its skittish character.

Fawncy prefers a diet of ferns, clover, shoots, and especially wild berries, but when kept in a stable, they adapt readily enough to hay. Solitary by nature, if Fawncy must be in a stable, it would rather be in a box as far from other horses as possible and definitely away from any dogs.

Like other Magic Horses in Jorvik, Fawncy shows its true colors in wild places and will conceal its appearance in populated areas. Whether in its magical “roebuckskin” form or disguised to blend in with other horses, Fawncy rides just like the Andalusians it is descended from.”

The snow leopard-like spots on Heidrun’s coat blend them into the stony rock faces, allowing them to slink about the mountains undetected. This gives them the advantage to do what they do best: protect the other wild animals from danger.

Being a lone wolf of the mountains, Heidrun finds it hard to get along with humans and other animals. But what they Lack in amiability, they make up for tenfold in loyalty and audaciousness.

Magic Horses on Jorvik are creatures of stories and Folklore. As the tales are passed down over the ages, the legends of these horses have been kept alive.

As many horses have done over the centuries, Lebkuchen made his way to the haven of Jorvik. His companion, a gnome called Gumdrop, helped him remember the witch they encountered and the Gingerbread Spell she cast upon them. Thank goodness they weren’t eaten. They decided that they were happy enough to live ever after in Jorvik’s Winter Village, where Lebkuchen was even able to return to his old Lippi self on occasion.

Vetle found something magical about Jorvik, especially when it began to snow. It reminded her of her youth. ‘It’s no wonder that a winter traveler would choose to stop and rest here,’ she thought. She stood in reverie for such a long time that she began to take on the features of an ice sculpture.

LEGO The Incredibles – Review

Gaming Chickadee — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 14:34:19 +0000

We like the movie and its sequel and of course who doesn’t like LEGOs? When we found out they had a game with both we had to try it. The game is loads of fun! In my review of LEGO The Incredibles you’ll find out more.

Why LEGO The Incredibles?

LEGO The Incredibles is an action-adventure game that combines the humor and creativity of LEGO games with the superhero world of The Incredibles movies. Players step into a LEGO version of the Parr family and their allies as they battle villains, solve puzzles, and protect the city. Like many LEGO games, it mixes platforming, light combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving with a playful tone that makes it enjoyable for players of many ages.

The story is based on both The Incredibles and Incredibles 2. Interestingly, the game begins with events from the second movie before going back to retell the story of the first film. This structure allows players to experience the action-packed moments of both movies while following the adventures of the superhero family.

Players control several characters from the Parr family, each with their own special abilities. Mr. Incredible uses his incredible strength to lift heavy objects and smash obstacles. Elastigirl can stretch and reach faraway switches or platforms. Violet can turn invisible and create protective force fields. Dash moves extremely fast, allowing him to run across water or activate speed-based puzzles. Jack-Jack has a variety of unusual powers that can help in different situations.

These different abilities are used to solve puzzles throughout each level. Many areas require switching between characters in order to progress. For example, one puzzle might require Dash’s speed to activate a switch, followed by Mr. Incredible lifting an object, and then Violet protecting the team with a shield.

Combat is also part of the gameplay. Players fight groups of enemies using attacks and special abilities. While the combat is simple, it fits the lighthearted LEGO style and allows players to defeat villains while exploring the environment.

Outside of the story levels, the game includes a large open city area inspired by the movie’s setting. Players can explore different districts, discover collectibles, and complete optional missions. This free-roaming mode adds extra gameplay beyond the main story and encourages players to revisit areas with new characters and abilities.

One enjoyable feature of LEGO games is the large number of characters available to unlock. LEGO The Incredibles includes many characters from the movies as well as other Pixar-inspired characters. Unlocking these characters gives players more abilities to experiment with during exploration.

The visual style captures the bright and colorful look of the films while maintaining the playful LEGO aesthetic. Buildings, vehicles, and characters are all made from LEGO bricks, which gives the world a fun and toy-like feel. The animations are expressive, and the cutscenes recreate famous moments from the movies with LEGO-style humor.

The game also includes cooperative multiplayer. Two players can play together locally, working as a team to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. This cooperative mode makes the game especially enjoyable for families or friends playing together.

However, the game does have some limitations.

One drawback is that the gameplay follows the typical LEGO formula very closely. While this style is fun, players who have played many LEGO games may feel that the gameplay is somewhat familiar or repetitive.

Another issue is that the combat system is fairly simple. Battles with enemies usually involve basic attacks, which can become repetitive over time. Players who prefer more complex action mechanics might find the combat less exciting.

The open city area, while large, can also feel somewhat empty at times. Although there are missions and collectibles scattered around, some parts of the city may feel less detailed compared to the story levels.

Despite these minor issues, the game still delivers a fun superhero adventure.

Star Stable Birthday Event: Quickest way to Complete all Quests and Races

Gaming Chickadee — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 13:18:36 +0000

Star Stable is one of our favorite games to play together. I can’t believe it but it’s already their 15th birthday! In my post I list the quickest way to complete all the quests and races for their 15th’s birthday event. Enjoy!

If you want to know more about the vent, check out my review right here!

What is the Quickest way to Complete all Quests and Races?

First you’ll want to start with the Party Bus, Anne’s and Sabrine’s races. Afterwards do Alex’s crate question quest and then Erissa’s path quest. Now do Lisa’s sheep choir and Katja’s spot the difference quest.

Next you’ll want to do Jessica’s “fake face” quest and finally do Linda’s trivia walk quests. Plus as a bonus do the Bobcat’s Wild rack in a group while your at moorland doing the champ or if Linda’s trivia walk quest takes you there.

More updates once they add all the quests and races!

Summary

The total time it takes to complete all of the quest and races with my speedrun is roughly 20mins. It’s greatly improved though doing them this way!

Here is a breakdown of my speedrun:

Start with the races
Do Jessica’s “Fake Face” quest
Do Alex then Erissa then Lisa and then Katja’s quests
Finally do Linda’s trivia walk quests
Bonus: If Linda’s trivia walk is at moorland or nearby do the Bobcat’s Wild Track race in a group and the moorland championship questwhen one is available to work towards completing club tasks!

I’ve also made a video showcasing my speedrun!
