Phew! That's good! (No, I didn't delete it--I had too many presents and unlockables that I wouldn't.) That's really weird, though, that hers is the only one without a roof. And it looks so incomplete, too! I guess the programmers forgot it.

I shelled out $50 for Batman: Dark Tomorrow; only until after doing so did I realize the horrible difficulty of it, and I haven't played it since the day I bought it.

I'll never forget the times my dad and I stayed up to 2 or 3 am playing Final Fantasy and Chronotrigger on school nights. It made my mother so made at both of us. Now that's a gaming experience I DON'T WANT TO FORGET.

I would like to forget how my brother lent out Chronotrigger and we never got it back. I had to buy it again off of ebay for $50. Heh.

Ok, I was playing MP4 on story mode. I was Mario (4 stars), against Peach and Luigi (1 star each), and Yoshi (about 3 coins). So anyway, it's my turn first. I roll a one, and land on a bowser space! Baby bowser comes down and takes 50 coins! But I don't think it's that big a deal. Oh yeah, it's the last turn. So Peach takes her turn, and uses a warp pipe. Of course she switches places with me. I was SOOO close toi getting another star! She goes over and buys a star. Now she has 2. Then she goes by the boo house and steals a star from me! Then, she hits the lottery house, and gets a gold lottery ball! She gets the 100 coins and finishes her turn. I figure that was a unfortunate turn of events, but it was only beginning. Peach had landed on a fortune space! And guess what! She got ANOTHER star from me! After that was over, she got a hidden block which, of course, contained a star! So then Luigi takes his turn, and lands on a bowser space. It was a bowser game and whoever lost would have to fork over a star. It was Darts of Doom, and I was up first. I was fairly good at this game, so I waited until all three cursors were off the bulls-eye, and fired. ALL THREE HIT THE BULLS-EYE!!! So I'm getting a little peeved, so I take my medicine and get on with the game. It's Yoshi's turn. He uses a magic lamp, gets the star, swings by the lottery shop, WINS THE 100 COINS, passes the boo, steals my star, lands on a battle space, wager 50 coins (it was the chain chomp one), I get 4th place because all the computer players pushed me off the edge. All the other guys avoided everything until the time ran out and they all tied for first. So I lose 50 coins! Then, another hidden block came up with, guess what... a star. So I'm left in the dust with zero stars, 12 coins, and it's time for the minigame. I figure I'm going to lose anyway, but I play the game with the little conveyer belts (three red spaces against one blue). Peach, of all people, was on top. She got every coin, which was all money bags, and my team didn't get a single coin! So I figure I'd at least get the stars for mini-game, and the coin star. So the mini-game star comes up, and the winner is announced... wait! We have a tie! The winners of the mini-game stars are: Peach, Luigi, and Yoshi! My jaw hit the floor. The coin star came up, and guess what! PEACH, LUIGI, YOSHI!!! Then, the happening star. As if I had any chance whatsoever... PEACH!!! LUIGI!!! YOSHI!!! So I wait to see the winners, and it's a tie between PEACH!!!!!! LUIGI!!!!!! AND YOSHI!!!!!!!!!!! AUGGGGGHHH!!! I was so mad I actually screamed at the game. Later though I noticed a VERY large CHOCOLATE smudge on the disk. I just about killed my little brother. Strange how smudges can wierd out your game so much. It didn't have any permenant changes, but to add insult to injury, I dreamt about it that night.

Oh yeah, and my brother set my GCN clock forward 50 years and tried to play Animal Crossing. I got it back to normal, but dang... WEEEEEEDDDSSS!!!

Everybody has the right to stupidity, but you''re abusing the privilage.

Oh my gosh! You hit the all-time mother load of all Jackpots of unluckiness! ROTFLMBO!! Hahahahahaha!! ...Sorry. That made my day.
Actually, something similar to that effect happened to me. Fortunately, now, I have a little tactic I like to call "cheating."
I have my game set on "Save Every Turn." When something bad happens, I turn the save function off, while the good results are still safe. I play it out, to see if it gets better, but if it gets worse...Voila! Reset! And I continue from where my good luck left off. ^_^

Oh, and I do the same thing in AC *cough*Nook's Lottery*cough. Although I now hate Mr. Resetti with a passion. Heheh... What a loser. I can't even REMEMBER the last time I've had the correct date on that game. ...Oh wait, Jan 24, 2003. I don't play the game everyday anymore, but am determined to be present for every day, so I change the clock to the last day I left off.

Seriously, though, your telling of your unfortunate experience really made my day. :)

I have the worst luck sometimes on Mario Party games. *sigh* Glad I made your day though. I don't know about you guys, but I only have 3 days of school left, and I'm ready for summer. Nothing to do but sit back, play some video games and... OH NO! I'm bored!!! Man, even AC gets really boring after awhile. Which reminds me... K.K! Hold on, brb.

So buy an old SNES (if you don't already have one) and buy the games Super Mario world, SM all stars, and Donkey Kong country.
If you don't own them already.

I was playing Meta knight mode on Nightmare in Dreamland. I spent two hours beating it, and I get a lousy Congratulations screen!

For more bad gaming experiences, go to World of Nintendo.com

Long live the Mario Brothers!

Not really an bad experience, just a story.

I had an old NES (it used to be my mom's). Well anyway, my mom loant it to my aunt about 6 or 7 years ago and I haven't seen it since.

What is wrong with this guy?
...Besides everything!

I once stayed up 10 hours beating every level in SMB for the Nes. Then right after I beat Bowser in 8-4, My nes started blinking, and I never got to see the ending, till I got a game Genie

Just to spice this topic up,Ill add the gaming experience that I will never forget. I was searching on ebay for a Top Loading Nes, (got tired of the blinking) and was bummed out on being beaten on 9 different auctions. Well, I see this one auction that has a TPLDR and 2 "dog bone" controllers going for $30 plus $10 S&H. still smarting from the losses, I email the lady offering her $50 and, she agreed and ended the auction early. Now I have a Top loader for about $90 cheeper than I would have if I went through Ebay...

Itâ€˜s-a me, Marionut#1!

Today I was playing Mario Party (the first one) I had 2 stars, Peach was in first with 2 stars and more coins than me. ( which never happens.) Yoshi was in 3rd with one star, and Mario was in last because I took him out of the game by stealing his only star in a very controversial Chance Time game. Anyway, Yoshi wins the mini game star, I win the Coin star. And then, to the shock of everyone, Yoshi, who had 2 stars from winning the mini game star, wins the happening star, producing the only come from behind victory against me for any computer player. And I end up in third, Peach is still second, and Yoshi got the only upset I have ever allowed from winning bonus stars!

--Zok the Alien, my original character.

And now you know, the rest of the story.

Okay, Mr. Insane Steve. Now we're even. Three days ago, two of my brother's friends came over. My brother says, "Hey! Let's play Mario Party 4 with four players! That would be fun!" I say, "Okay, cool."

I won all three bonus stars.

I did not win.

I took second.

The guy who beat me said (and I quote) MORE THAN ONCE that night, "Where's the A button?"

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

Note: Three nights later I dreamt about Chupperson Weird. Who says there's no justice?

"Where's the A Button". Never had one of those people beat me before.

Hmmmmm. And the 3 year old seems to think that you play the MP2 mini-game Roll Call by jamming the A button as fast as possible and getting to 99 before the time runs out. SO ya, Mario Party appears to be mostly luck. Of course, if I were to play on one of the mini-game oriented boards in MP1 or MP2, I'd 0wn anyone I know.

Congratulations! You have just been blessed by the wisdom of Steve.

I hate my game erasing itself while I'm sleeping. I also hate it when you have to play games where the only way to beat the level is to tap the A button 100 times or you can never beat it. It's like a game on Mario Party 4-I have to tap A 100 times or I'll never beat the game!

Insane Steve · « **Reply #28 on:** June 11, 2003, 07:20:08 PM »

I don't know if I WANT to forget this, but it did kind of hurt.

Remember Mario Party 1, and all those games that require you to rotate the control stick? Well... I'm awesome (60+ rotations in 10 seconds) at that.... but the first week I got MP1 I played those games so long that my hand had about 7 blisters on it. Still, I'm mad they took those rotation games out... I was unstoppable at them.

Congratulations! You have just been blessed by the wisdom of Steve.

What? Why weren't you using your licensed Nintendo Mario Party glove?
