Notes

Olimar's journal

I'm not just an intergalactic space captain... I'm also an artist. I see the inner beauty in everything. Some things other people call ugly and boring, I find intellectually stimulating and aesthetically pleasing. It's true... I'm sophisticated like that.

Sales pitch

This is both the pinnacle of beauty and the nadir of ugliness, the definition of ugly beauty. No word for this state exists, but my data banks indicate that "bugly" will suffice.

Sales pitch (Nintendo Switch[edit]

This is both the pinnacle of beauty and the nadir of ugliness, the definition of ugly beauty. I can't imagine anything in the entire universe that is as utterly beautiful in this bizarre way.
