The "lives" that are lost when you lose are hypothetical. The "Life" that actually happens is the one in which Mario wins.

Kind of like games with multiple endings, that have a sequel. The "Good" ending is always canonical.

Not always. Think Starfox 64/ Lylat Wars. The good ending isn't observed, no matter how many times I wish it was. :(

Um, there is a final ending to Star Fox 64.

That reminds me of a crazy short story in the game. When I first tried to get a medal on every level on Hard, I hard a really tought time (duh), but the last level almost got me. I had killed enough enemies, and all I had to do was finish off Andross and exit the tunnel and I would finally unlock the best stuff of the game. So I I have one life remaining and I finally beat Andross and get ready to go through the tunnel. This time was much harder than before and it seemed like I had to fly through it faster than before. My ship kept crashing into walls, and flashing red with scary sirens blaring. Health was falling drastically, and I was scared out of my wits. If I got a Game Over now, I would have to start all over again (I so hate that part of the game) and do the terrible mission again. Soon, both my wings were gone, I only had one piece of health left, and my ship was flashinga and ready to blow. Only a few more turns to go until the end and... I got blow'd up!! Slippy: "NOOOOOOOOOO *squeaks* OOOOOOOO *coughs and chokes* OOOOOOOOOO *burps* OOOOOOO *glass shatters* OOOOOO!" *passes out* Actually, I just barely made it out alive. Scariest video game moment ever.

Yeah I remember when I first did that...

But we're getting off topic.

But, aren't there two endings? Y'know, the brain or the bot? I'm not getting any more specific than that...

The hard route ending is the canon ending.
If you notice, James disappears as soon as he flies out of the tunnel.

Hello, sorry for bumping this, but I want to know about Yoshi's Inland about being after SMW and all the stuff like that.

Yoshi's Island happened before Donkey Kong, but the technology for us to see it didn't happen until after SMW.

I have a question. How come Yoshi has infinite Eggs in SSBM, but you have to eat enemies in YI to get eggs?

yoshimastar · « **Reply #235 on:** January 09, 2006, 05:54:12 PM »

Just an in game thing.

Sapphira · « **Reply #236 on:** January 11, 2006, 05:26:12 PM »

He also gets infinite eggs from Egg Blocks. Well, 6 at a time, but it never runs out. He doesn't have to eat an enemy to get eggs.

BP · « **Reply #237 on:** January 11, 2006, 07:17:16 PM »

Well yeah, but there are also no egg blocks in SSBM.

Sapphira · « **Reply #238 on:** January 12, 2006, 12:24:53 AM »

True, but pretty much ALL the characters pull something out of thin air. Like how cartoons do that with giant mallets and whatnot.

BP · « **Reply #239 on:** January 12, 2006, 01:38:26 AM »

Let's see.
Mario & Luigi get infnite freballs, which wouldbe natural if they were fiery. Dr. Mario gets infinite megavitamins, but he also does in Dr. Mario... Link & Young link get infinite bombs & arrows, and if they lose their boomerang they always have a backup. Sheik never runs out of needles. Yoshi never runs out of eggs, as we've established. Peach pulls out infinite veggies without grass being visible before pulling. The pokemon never run out of PP. Mr. G&W never runs out of sausages (oh wait, he doesn't in chef ether.), Fox & Falco's guns never run out of ammo*, Kirby never runs out of final cutters, but the blue thingy you see fly off is probably a sonic wave. Samus doesn't run out of missiles or beams, or those little v+B bombs*. Ness doesn't run out of his powers*, and I think that's about it. My conclusion: SSBM is awesome.

*if they don't run out even in the main games, that's my bad.
