May Challenge
April brought the chaos—in the best way possible! After a month of monkey-chasing mayhem in Ape Escape, we ended with a wild six-way tie for first place. The tiebreaker? A high-stakes sprint up the Donkey Kong Jr. leaderboards that kept everyone on edge until the final seconds. Absolute madness.Now, for May, we’re slowing things down... just a bit. It’s time to sharpen your eye, steady your aim, and start snapping—because Pokémon Snap on the Nintendo 64 is our next challenge! Ride the rails through jungle, cave, and volcano, and capture the perfect shots of your favorite Pokémon to rack up those sweet RetroAchievements.As always, you’ll find bonus ways to earn points—check the Discord for full details. Pack your film and prepare your reflexes, because in May, it’s not about catching ’em all—it’s about photographing ’em all!
