The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

Golden Yoshi's Island is a ROM Hack of Yoshi's Island built to be played for live audiences in a speedrunning setting. It's a modified version of SMW2+2 by Golden Yoshi (with his full consent). This hack features several optimizations to make it a faster run than its source material, based on feedback from the Yoshi speedrunning community: -36 levels hand-picked from the original ROM Hack's 50 and rearranged into 4 worlds. -Default egg aim setting is now Hasty -Transformation sequence has been sped up -World-clear cutscene has been removed -Message box upon collecting first flower has been removed -Autoscrolling sections removed -New tech to skip vehicle sections -Various other sections of levels have been modified for brevity and consistency -Entering the top secret code now triggers the credits sequence -Brand new title screen and credits sequence, courtesy of Mattrizzle
