Accessing this is actually locked behind a mystery gift. ...that means that they can arbitrarily remove access at any time by just stopping distributing it, like they'd been regularly doing in older games but not so much recently. Not great! (Unless they put out an update that changes how it works later.)
Counterbalancing that situation is that this is pretty terrible, and appears to primarily serve just as a way to give you access to Pecharunt. So it might not be a huge loss if it was shuttered at some point.
If you want any actual lore about Pecharunt you're better served by the video put up on the Pokémon Youtube account rather than the DLC itself.
With regards to the Indigo Disk postgame, I did a little of it but it's really not doing much to entice me back to do any more.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder (Switch)
To my knowledge, I did everything except for beating the badge gauntlet level in the special world. (Unclear if there's anything else locked after that.) I was never able to get the timing down for consecutive parachute hat deployments and that level starts off with a lengthy section of them - not dealing with that on every reattempt.
Very enjoyable, possibly a bit on the easy side overall although that's hardly something I'd complain about. Also feels sparse for some reason that I think is mainly due to there being comparatively little postgame content? It has been a long time since the last 2D-centric platformer (...at least the ones I consider to be part of that category) so I may be internally comparing it against the wrong titles.
Escape Goat (Steam)
Escaped the Prison of Agnus (all rooms completed) with 1308 deaths.
I assume the majority of the deaths were in Final Path 9, but the game doesn't give you a breakdown unfortunately. Terrible room. Second highest probably a different room in Final Path, where there's concentric moving-block pathways where all the inner moving blocks have buzzsaws. Could not control the goat's jumps anywhere near finely enough for the sort of movements needed for these rooms.
I'm not going to try the alternate (harder) set of levels, although it might be interesting to look up someone else's playthrough of them.
