Game Help / Paper Mario Problem . . .

Heh, I think I posted this ages ago and didn't get an answer.  It's so silly, but I still can't figure it out.  On the screen where you first visit Bowser's Castle, there is a moat of lava around the castle, and on the other side to the left of the entrance there's a sort of hill with a red ? block on top.  Later, you drain the moat of lava.  But I still can't get over there!  It won't let me just jump into the empty moat from the bridge or the "shore"--there's a barrier there.  If you follow the moat to the right it continues onto another screen but there's no way down there either.  If I could get into the moat, I could get the badge--but I can't find where you go to get into the moat.  And what badge is in that block anyway?  I've long since finished the game, but that badge is going to drive me insane. . . .

Game Help / SSBM Curiousity

« on: July 10, 2002, 02:10:33 AM »

I've been reading game FAQs all over the place for this thing, and there's something I stumbled on that confused me.  Every FAQ I've read gives two methods for unlocking Young Link:

1. Play 500 VS mode matches.
2. Beat classic mode as Link, as Zelda, then as 8 other characters.  (I've also seen this version with just Link and 9 other characters)

I've never done either of these things . . . I just got the game, have never played even one VS mode match, and I've never used Link at all because I really, really hate him.  But Young Link challenged me anyway, randomly, after I beat Classic Mode (I forget who I was using, possibly Jigglypuff?) earlier today.  I lost to him (I suck rather a lot), but he challenged me again after every match I played until I finally beat him and unlocked him.

So my question is, have characters ever challenged you totally at random before?  Or did I do something weird to get this guy bugging me so much?
