Title: Favorite item from a non-Mario video game
Post by: mario_luigifan104 on February 20, 2006, 01:15:56 PM
 What is your favorite non-Mario video game item? Since there are so many of them I couldn't really make a poll out of this topic.

I liked the astericks from NES's Star Tropics.  Astericks are shooting-star type weapons that you fire in pairs.  Pressing the fire button once launches a pair (stuck together) in one direction; while they're flying, pressing the fire button again causes the pair to split, and the two astericks fly off in opposite directions.  In one boss battle of the game, you could only hit the boss by firing astericks and then splitting them when they reached the top of the screen.   It's a crazy battle, because after firing the pair you still have to control your character, at the bottom of the screen, to avoid getting hit.  So you have to watch two areas at once - the bottom of the screen, to control your character, and the top of the screen, to get the timing right to split the astericks.

I always liked the piledriver technique in Kirby's adventure.  It added a little more to the other moves that just blew the enemies up.  Or the UFO, which was cool.

I am glad to know that the piledriver technique is an item.

Oh yay! The Boomerang. I wouldn't say it's my FAVORITE, but it is up there. I actually like the longshotthe most because I always wondered how all of that chain fit into that little ball-spring-loaded thinggy.

The Golden Sword from Zelda:Alttp because it leathers everything.

You asked what I like? Does DK 64 count? cause if it does i really liked DK's bongos. I actually got that game in like 5th grade and made some bongos out of coffee cans for music class that resembled his. Good times. Good times.

Here are a few items that make me very thankful, from Zelda games:

Light arrows in Wind Waker, no doubt. One arrow can kill the strongest of enemies, and that is just like...wow.

Fierce Diety Mask from Majora's Mask, as Kojinka said. That is the coolest single thing in that game...besides the little chicks in the cucoo hut. (They're so cute!)

Power braclets in Link's Awakening. They aren't really that good, but it got really annoying how if you walked up to a large stone, it would always say "This looks pretty heavy, you wont be able to lift it with just your bear hands." After I've read that for the billionth time in one day, I feel like smashing my Game Boy to the ground, so that's where the power braclets come in.

The bait in Wind Waker, because I like talking to that fish that says "'hoy small fry!".

Fully restored Master Sword in Wind Waker; I just like the fell of it.

Megaton hammer in OoT, which is extra fun to use against the boss in the Fire Temple...it's like whack-a-mole!


That's about it.

Heh, I just got done fighting Volvagia about an hour ago.
I like... the Hook/longshot too. It's a useful weapon and a great item. I also like using it to kill tose giant pig bears at the sacred forest meadow... the sound they make upon dying is so funny.

I like Din's Fire a lot. It's fun messing with the giant keese in Lon Lon Ranch. ^_^

The Killer Weapons from Fire Emblem. They were incredibley powerful and accurate. Without them, I don't think Florina would've lasted a minute after Chapter 20. They also made the already powerful characters even better. There were other stronger weapons near the end but they could only strike once and were in only one level (if you didn't get to the side-quest before the final chapter).

The Golden PP7 in Goldeneye. Come on, the Golen Gun is horrible. Let a real gun take the stage. Silver PP7's useful as well... less powerful (2 limb shots to kill, not one) but it can shoot through thin doors. ^_^
