HOW TO GET 73 1/2 SHINES
First, start up a game of SM64. Start a new game and get 73 stars in less than 2 hours. Then shut off your game and take it out of the N64. Smash it into tiny pieces with a sledge hammer. Put your SMS disk into the GameCube, but before you close it, sprinkle all the little pieces of the SM64 cartridge on top of the SMS disk. Then close the GameCube and turn it on. When the title screen pops up for SMS, you should have a saved file with 73 stars. Start the file and it will act like you started a new game and you get to fight the first piranha on the airstrip. But when you get the shine, it will say you have 73 1/2 shines! Then the next shine you get will raise your total up to 74! Then, you can beat the game like normal except at the end, when Bowser explains to his son about Peach, Bowser Jr. says, "I know Peach isn't my mother. But some day, ... I want to find that half-shine again!"
