He's slightly out of breath and more than slightly embarrassed.

Mario lives on a steady diet of coins, raw mushrooms and flowers, and other strange objects. I'm surpised he doesn't have stomach cancer.

He also seems to like different pastas
He doesn't eat coins. Coins are the currency of TMK, and, this isn't canon, but in the cartoons, Princess Toadstool, Toad and the Marios did not need to eat fire flowers. All they needed to do was touch the flower and BOOM they could shoot fireballs.

He walks over the object, and it disappears. I'd consider that as close to eating as you can get without actually, y'know...eating it.

And then you've got first-person shooters, where the characters typically feast on ammunition throughout the game...

And they shoot shells out, you know, their posterior? Oh Glorb, haven't you ever played any Paper Mario games? Remember Tacye T.? Or Zess T.? Or that other girl from SPM... Mario eats tons of things, from cake, soup, pasta, soda, eggs, fries, frozen treats, and other things I can't recall.

Well, actually, no. Call me old-fashioned, but SPM is the first PM game I've played...which means, yes, actually. But anywhich, in platformers, the only thing Mario eats are strangely-colored mushrooms and flowers. I mean, after a while, that's gotta take a toll on your health.

Um... what? XD

Glorb · « **Reply #218 on:** May 23, 2007, 12:29:26 PM »

Actually, I just read over that, and I'll admit it is confusing. What I mean is, yes, I haven't not not played Super Paper Mario, and Mario doesn't not not not not eat food, according to my theory.

I hate losing the first quest in Quest Mode in Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis (where all the opponents are level 15) because you set the turn limit to 3 to defeat all, and they have two Soldiers (which have the best defense of any character that appears in that quest).

You know what? I thought of a new one. And I can't believe I never mentioned this earliar.

Anyone that's beaten Banjo-Kazooie (or at least gotten close to it) should know what a death trap Rusty Bucket Bay is. There's boxes of TNT that chase you, oily water that is very easy to drown in, and all sorts of nasty things. But the absolute worse is the engine room.

It's bad enough just going through it. But the objective here is to navigate the area, hit two buttons and hightail it back out and get into the propeller at the back of the ship before they restart. One misstep in the engine room will cause you to fall into what I think is a pool of acid which results in instant death. And if you don't get to the propeller fast enough or you do get in there in time, get can't get back out, another instant death. I know it's an E rated game, but I'm sure that poor Banjo is getting hacked to bits by that thing.

Dying on the last spinner on the last level of the hardest mode in Ouendan/Ouendan 2/Elite Beat Agents.

I don't know why those spinners have to be so hard! Or maybe I'm just doing them wrong. It gets to the point where I've played a stage so many times I'm getting nearly all 300s and then the last 15 seconds of the last section will off me.

I've never been the most skilled player so I usually get through games by continually dying and practicing till I get it right. So I'd say the worst way to die is by making the same mistake over and over. At least, it's the most annoying way to die.

Oy, I hated Rusty Bucket Bay. It took me forever to get that Jiggy the dolphin had, or maybe it was one inside the ship. It's never easy to get around in that world at all... I drowned a lot trying to save Clanker too, because I was such a logically thinking person and tried to swim into the actual part of the key instead of ever swimming through it. I used the give the bear lots of air sandcastle cheat to finally try pulling it off, only to realize that I was an idiot.
This is on topic and off-topic... has anyone entered so many sandcastle cheats in that game that Gruntilda threatens to erase your game data? And if so... did you keep entering the cheats and get your data erased? That can't be legal. She is a pretty harsh villain, though.

The first thing you have to know is that the cheats for stuff such as the Ice Key and Easter Eggs don't contribute to Grunty's threat, since they don't actually do anything to help you beat the game. I entered all the cheats for them and nothing happened. Didn't try cheats for anything else, though.

N64 Chick · « **Reply #224 on:** May 28, 2007, 11:42:08 AM »

Can't say I have. The only cheats I really used were for the eggs, ice key, and unlimited air. But if I decide to sell the game, I'll look into that first.
