Sounds good! I'll try to do it later today, but I won't be able to record it until I get back home.

Please look at when the last post was made. I doubt most of the members who posted on this topic still frequent these forums; this in turn makes your post rather meaningless. As a result, I will lock this thread.

I doubt it would, unfortunately. If the pineapple disappeared after completing the first Episode and I found a way to get in with just Mario, I can save some time and complete a few Episodes in Sirena Beach before getting Yoshi. However, I think this is suitable for a "low%" run, where the objective is to complete the game by doing the bare minimum.

Well, I managed to do something cool! Check this out:



I got in Sirena Beach without eating the pineapple on top of the pipe! I used Yoshi to do this, but it'd be great if I found a way to get in with only Mario.

Video Game Chat / Re: Tournament/Competitive Play

« on: April 16, 2011, 04:20:46 AM »

They had tournaments for a bunch of games at my college last Saturday. I registered for Super Smash Bros. 64 and Mario Kart Wii. Winning that Super Smash Bros. Tournament was honestly easier than having two Level 9 CPUs team against me with Team Attack on.

Mario Kart Wii is a different story. I won that one too, but not by much. For some very strange reason, the judges thought it was a good idea for us to play with CPU players in a Grand Prix. Now I had to worry about more Blue Shells being thrown at me. Regardless, it was a fun tournament (too bad the prizes were incredibly lame).

I don't think I've said this before, but I really like your art style BP! It has that colorful, cartoony look to it.

I think I said this on another thread, but Sonic The Hedgehog 3 was the first game I ever played, with Hydrocity Zone being the first area I ever played.

I cause over 19,000 damage in one hit in Superstar Saga.  Apparently, the max is 32,767, but I don't see any way to get better than this, even with TAS.  On a random note, the beginning of this video looks really sweet with that "1911" feature YouTube's got for April Fools'.

That's really cool! However, the real max stats for each brother is 1006 if you use a Teeheespresso when they have 998 in that particular stat, and it will literally show that number (although for every stat other than HP and BP the last number will go off the screen). I used to have this for Luigi's BP and Mario's Speed, but I didn't know that equipping something else would automatically bring it down to 999.

Mario Chat / Re: Most Underrated Mario Game

My biggest disappointment with that game is the limited acrobatics when compared to Mario 64.

There are even more combinations than in Super Mario 64 if you use F.L.U.D.D efficiently. Unlike Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine always gives you a variety of ways to cross any pit or jump over a wall. You can string jumps together in a huge number of ways. Mario is easier to control and doesn't feel heavy at all. Besides, those random punch-kick moves in Super Mario 64 were almost completely useless. The only move I miss from Super Mario 64 is the Long Jump, but at least the Hover Nozzle is an alternative in Sunshine.

Sorry for the double post, but I've found a way to shoot a little water a significant distance forwards or backwards with the Hover Nozzle. By using that technique, I managed to get rid of one obstacle in my run: flipping all the ? panels in the Hotel Delfino Casino. It took about an hour, but I think it was well worth it.

I'm currently in the middle of a Squirt Nozzle-less Super Mario Sunshine run. You wouldn't believe how annoying it was to take down Shadow Mario in Gelato Beach with just the Turbo Nozzle.

It's no Kanto, but I'd say it's about on par with the other's post-games.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. Are you referring to how Pokemon Gold and Silver let you explore Kanto or are you referring to Pokemon Red and Blue. If you're referring to Pokemon Red and Blue, I'd have to disagree because the only thing you can do post-game is go to Cerulean Cave and catch Mewtwo.

I'm going to vote for that post for the WTD award this year.
