November was not much of anything! Unless there are mystery unbeaten games by Alex! Because Eric sure didn’t beat anything!

1. Super Mario 3D Land
Quite possibly one of the best Mario games ever made. Loved it, and I have the desire to keep playing and get 100%.

Another Look: Super Mario Land

Eric — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:34:19 +0000

As a child I didn’t have many games, but even then I didn’t complete many of them. Not for lack of interest, but rather lack of ability. I just could not beat some games.

Super Mario Land was going in and out of my Gameboy ever since I got the system. But I could never beat it.

What surprised me, as I beat the game the other day was how short it was. Egypt, Bermuda, Easter Island and China were used as influences for the twelve stages, but at twelve stages that is 3/8 the size of the original Super Mario Bros. To my young mind, however, the game felt so much larger.

It’s a weird entry in the Mario series, but it has exactly what it needs to be a good Mario game. Its simplicity does not prevent it from challenging me. And its length leads to me wanting to replay it. Which is one of the best things any game can make you do.

Especially when it gives you one of the best ending songs ever.

Eric 19 (September:2) Alex 13 (September ?)
Alex is busy so he hasn’t updated his stuff yet. So he still remains at 13, although he may actually be ahead! Who knows! Not The Shadow. He does not know.

THANK ♡OU MARIO.

I died so many times in this game as a young lad.

2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Very glad I got the chance to play this again. I forgot so much about it. Wonderful game, wonderful remake. Maybe they’ll do Majora’s Mask so I’ll finally get to play that!
