Only you, you and I must be the ONLY 2 people that know about that 1-up cloud in the vertical chamber with all the ice blocks in... hmmmm... to avoid spoiling it for C. W., I'll call it the "green room". (You know where I got this, right?) The one where you climb all the way up the right wall of ice blocks, using a S-Red watermelon... and only getting 1-up. That was a cloud I thought even you'd miss. I also got 12 without the bubble cloud, 13 with. Simply amazing.

Actually, I played the level today... you know, a standard 15 minute 100 runthrough, and I managed to get over 40 total 1-ups. So many extra lives there...

As for the 5-1 Lakitu question, I just CANNOT think of any other refrence to an earlier game there... But was the refrence to a Mario game?

I also made no progress on the giant ? block question in SMB3...

I don`t suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.

I don't believe it does.

Well, I guess no one knows the answer to my question... not even me. As for Fifth's question, I have no idea.

Insane Steve · « **Reply #378 on:** November 12, 2002, 08:15:16 PM »

Hmmmmm... If I still had my SMB3 guide I could look for it, but I don't. I lost it somewhere along my countless (Issues No. 50-140 something) issues of Nintendo Power and Expert Gamer (Every issue. EGM2 #50-88. Why did they mess with it? That was the best mag ever) and now EGM too... not to mention other non-video game magazines (MAD, for one).

Anyway. I think you have the question still. Can you come up with a replacement? Or maybe I can try something NOT in SMA3/YI...

Yeah, I'll make a replacement... as soon as I think of one.
You lost all those magazines? How in the world...?
Did you know that MAD was originally a comic book entitled Tales Calculated to Drive you MAD? Did you know I have the MAD Magazine card game? (Of course not?) Did you know that I posess every issue of Star Trek: The Magazine? (Of course not again?) (That's been going for about 3.5 years now... that's 43 issues... and at $8 an issue, I'm surprised I still have money?)

Well, if there's anybody who still cares, the thunder Lakitu was (I think) reference to Raiden, a Japanese god of thunder a lightning. The thing on his back is an arc of drums.

I also noticed another interesting thing about Yoshi's Island (well, interesting to me anyway,) that I can't think of how to bake into a question. It has to do with how large blocks of level data (like rectangles of coins, etc.) are stored and created. I think it works like SMW (which would make sense,) in that the data for it is stored in a single corner, along with the X/Y dimensions...
ANYWAY: If you go to a level with a block of coins (2-1's good for this,) get a few coins from some columns, leave the screen, and come back, those entire columns will be missing, leaving those you left untouched... untouched.
I guess I just noticed it from a design standpoint, as I'm trying to recreate the game's engine in MMF. Eh, whatever...

Go Moon!

Hmm.
Well. I still haven't thought of a good one yet.

Ooh Heh
Ooh Heh

Here's a nice, easy snack for you while C. W. comes up with a question.

What level of SMB has the largest (In blocks) gap with no ground over it?

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #383 on:** November 16, 2002, 10:53:14 PM »

My mind screams either 8-1 or 8-2... but I'm probably wrong.

CashCrazed · « **Reply #384 on:** November 16, 2002, 11:01:02 PM »

Whichever of the x-3 levels is the longest is my guess.

Insane Steve · « **Reply #385 on:** December 04, 2002, 07:24:26 PM »

Time to revive the topic. (I hope)

Anyway, I was thinking 8-2... the "No ground above" was an attempt to rule out the -3 levels.

New question. (Took me a while to come up with it)

What is the only character in Super Mario RPG that wears an eye patch? (HINT: You are more than likely, when you first read this, to look in the wrong place for the answer...)

Yes, I know it's not Johnny... I'll have to go investigate...

Eeh hee hee hee hee!!! Not everything means what it seems... . . . Ooh Heh . . . Ooh Heh

Insane Steve · « **Reply #387 on:** December 06, 2002, 08:53:48 PM »

HINT: This character is an EXTREMELY minor character. You need to know something about this character for.... something, that is why the character is relevant enough to post about.

And I have another question:

Besides the opponents with 0 HP (Dry Bones and Vomer), which enemy (That you fight) has the lowest starting HP in SMRPG?

HINT: You are likely going to look in the wrong place to start here, too...

Yes, now I remember, it's one of the Boosters. It dawned on me just as I clicked to go to this page.
