I've been having a lot of fun with this.  Yesterday, I made a level which culminates in a Bowser Jr. battle with strategically placed springs.  My favorite stage I've played was a SMW recreation of one of the bramble levels from Donkey Kong Country 2.

Well, I just beat Donkey Kong Country on SNES again, why not?

So, in my quest to obtain a Lucina Amiibo, I found Marth. At night. At a place where Amiibos should easily have been picked over by then.

I believe Eric Cartman said something about Chatroulette that applies to the Miiverse stage.

Ah yes, Chrono Trigger.  Just beat it recently myself (DS version) after buying it 2-3 years ago, playing until 65,000,000 BC, and then forgetting about it. 

What a magical game.  I'm starting Final Fantasy VI (actual SNES cartridge, got it at a game store) this week.  Still working on the Elite Four in Pokemon Alpha Sapphire.

I can't believe I'm entering my twelfth year here (I think my actual anniversary is sometime this week or next).  Does that make me one of the senior members of the forum?

I hope Chupperson, Sapphira, among many, many others are doing well, wherever they happen to be at.  I hope everyone who still contributes now, new or old, can enjoy themselves the way we all used to.

Silly Donkey Kong.  The only thing Warioman sells...is merchandise!

I had a cat like that.  Not a stray that showed up at my door, though.  My family got her from the local Humane Society. 

She would always come into my room and sleep at the foot of my bed.  You know all those movies about special bonds between humans and pets?  It was kinda like that.

Sadly, a fat man on a motorcycle put a quick end to any talk of an HD Duck Hunt remake.

Alternatively

Duck (thinking): "I wonder if I should tell the dog about this?  He looks so content chewing on his special Duck Hunt-brand clay target!"

That's sad.  I got years of entertainment out of both Nintendoland and SMBHQ.  The "Neglected Character Deathmatches" were among the first webcomics I ever read and were part of the inspiration for SSB Live (a pseudo-fanfic I did presenting Super Smash Bros. in a professional wrestling format).

This man knows what's up. Granted, nostalgia's practically currency these days, but this site means a lot to me for that, if only because it represents things that meant a lot to me growing up. I still remember the chain of events that led me from searching for info on Shiguru Miyamoto for an elementary school class project to finding the ClassicGaming network, to checking out all the trivia and fan stuff in the TMK archives over several years, to finally joining the forums in 2007 after my old haunt "Nintendomain" tanked. I've seen a lot of fellow forums and favorite sites come, go, and get retooled in those years--for better or worse--so whether the Fungi Forums keeps attracting new blood or just becomes a ramshackle pub for aging Millenials to wax nostalgic, you can guarantee I'll be popping in on the daily until somebody brings the Super Mario Bros. 3-inspired curtain down on the stage.

Take out the part about the school project, and go a bit further back in time (to about '99 or so), and you basically have my journey to TMK in a nutshell.  I'd love to see this place once again become the juggernaut it (kinda) used to be.

"Bow before the mighty Wamario!  Oh, and I guess the big Pokemon behind me is kind of important, too."

Here we are...the morning of the release of both this game and the Hoenn remakes.  Nintendo's about to make some serious cash this holiday season.
