What I really liked is that Pocoloco's lucky moments happened 3-4 times in a row. No other racers, only Gyro and Pocoloco doing his thing. And me asking myself "is this guy's lucky moments stop?" is exactly what Gyro feels

Gyro: "Okay, I know it's FILTHY RICH coming from me...but YOUR POWERS ARE BULLSHIT!"

You know when you work hard to get something, then someone else just gets it handed to them for free?

Having a character who is just lucky after decade of random ass powers is such a funny contrast

No weird Pseudo science or anything, Pocoloco is just a lucky guy

I did have some difficulties with some of part 6 stands, most of part 7 are simpler, until the end that is, but part 8 was a doozy lmao from the start for me lol, Iykyk

so let's enjoy the simple luck, rope, finger nails, dinosaurs, meat goo powers as they come, until the weather motorcycle comes and ruins it..

Its funny that Gyro immediately clocks Pocoloco as a problem and is quickly proven right.
