YKYPP(Puzzle)GTMW. . .
1. There is no such thing as too many puzzle games. Guess this one bombed.
YKYPMGTMW. . .
379. You go to a mountain, build a snowball, and knock your friends off with it. (MP3's Snowball Summit)
380. When you watch Wheel of Fortune, you are surprised that Pat and Vanna are people, you have yet to see Baby Bowser pop up when the wheel lands bankrupt, and you search for the button the contestants press to stop the wheel. (Winner's Wheel)
381. You toss a turtle shell into a roulette wheel, but there's no strobe light following the shell, and the music doesn't change. (Game Guy's Roulette)
382. You notice that 382= Bits in GBA + Stars to be had in Game & Watch Galleries 1-3 combined.
383. You try to use math to figure out just how how a Triple Jump is, rounded to the nearest centimeter, but fail. (SM64)
384. You go back to doing your math, and discover that 384= Bits in GBA x Gems to be had in Yoshi's S****i.
385. You notice that 385= (Gems in Yoshi's S****i)-1 x Coins in Mario Party after starting, landing in Mini-Game space, getting three Hats in Slot Machine, then winning as one of the three players in Tug o' War. (Check the math!)
386. You notice that 386= (Number of odd numbered Yoshi's S****i stages that aren't in the Dark World) x (Goals in SMW)
387. You have a browser that thinks S-a-f-a-r-i is a cussword.
388. You notice that 388= Games you can play in Game & Watch Gallery 1 x Stars you have in SM64 if you have only 23 left.
389. You get creative and say that 389= (Coins you start out with in Mario Party 3)² + (Coins you's have if you land on Red, then win the next Mini-Game)². (Check it yourself!)
390. You realize that you're beginning to show signs that you do too much math, but nevertheless observe that 390 is the total number of turns in 3 Lite Play games of Mario Party, 8 Standard Play games, and one Full Play game.
391. You test people's knowledge of exponents by noting that 391= The number of turns in all those Mario Party Games + e^(number of games you'd have time for after all those).
392. You don't know what 392 equals, but you find it rather curious that the number of letters in the name of the GameCube launch title is 13, which is an unlucky number --- strange. . .
393. Keeping with the GameCube theme in the last symptom, you notice that Super Smash Bros. Melee is the only Mario game that doesn't have its ESRB rating letter in the title and challenge other people to identify another game like that.
394. You look at the number 394 and find a curious relationship with SSB(N64, NOT M!)'s release year: The middle digit is the most common digit in the year, the first digit is how many times that digit occurs, and the last digit is how many digits are in the year.
395. You notice that 395= (Number of stars you can get in SM64 without leaving Course 1)x (Star you have in SM64 if you collect just enough to end the "never ending staircase" and then get nine more)
396. You play SMB3 and realize that 396= (Number of Lemmy's world) x (Number of Fortresses in Lemmy's world) x (Number of worlds after Lemmy's world) x (Number that your coin count must be divisible by to get the treasure ship in Lemmy's world).
397. You can't think of anything for 397, but you notice that The number in puzzles in Tetris Attack is the same as the number of stars in SM64 or in Game & Watch Gallery 2 -- all three are the same, weird. . .
398. You warp to the old days and notice that 398 = (Points for smashing a barrel in Donkey Kong) - (points for jumping over a barrel in DK) - (Number of stages in DK than involve trying to reach Pauline) [Check it out! Note: I didn't count the cake factory, since it's not in the NES DK.)
399. You like Mario puzzle games and say that 399 = (Points for a row of 7 in Yoshi's Cookie) + (Viruses in Level 20 in Dr. Mario) - (Number of points for matching the enemies in Yoshi)
400. SYMPTOM 400!!!!!!!! You notice that 400 = (Largest time limit in seconds you can have in Super Mario Bros.) + (Number of people at TMK besides AMF himself that think that AMF doesn't need to shut up ;))
