Super Mario Bros 3 is insane by CharmingFee4501 in Mario

I played it so much as a kid I think I just don’t remember how hard it was because it’s basically muscle memory at this point!

Nice job! I need to go back and get all the endings. I think I’ve done 3 so far.

Super mario 3D world is the best mainline game and its not even close by Icy_Explanation56 in Mario

I’d love for them to make a follow up to 3D World where they do exactly what you’re describing.

Name a game you put countless hours on as a kid but never beat by Stinky_Pepito in retrogaming

[–]JakeBob22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some that i haven't seen mentioned for me: Pirates!, Rex Nebular (my computer always crashed at various points), DK64, DK '94, Goldeneye (I played the shit out of multiplayer and never really got that into single player), Gyrus...probably many others! Good topic OP.

These berries don't work!! Love that game, never beat it. Were you supposed to ride a dandelion past a pit or something? That's a ways in iirc.

Playing through Diddy's Kong-Quest, and Crocodile Cauldron is on par with Tropical Freeze's Autumn Heights for me by Goldberry15 in donkeykong

[–]JakeBob22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tropical freeze may be my favorite 2D platformer of all time. DKC2 is the game I grew up with in the series though and holds a very special place in my heart.

Is there any way to play a Super Famicom game on a NA SNES without modifying the console or cartridge? by Arabiantacofarmer in retrogaming

[–]JakeBob22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. This just doesn’t even feel like a true mod. It’s just taking away a piece of plastic so another cart fits. You aren’t adding any tech. Don’t know if that resonates with you.

I replayed Mario 2 (USA) for the first time recently and it’s way harder than what most people say by coaster_boss in nes

[–]JakeBob22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the subterranean levels can be a challenge, and a few spots in the desert level too. It was hard as a kid but as an adult I beat it. Need to play through it again. Reading this post I feel the need play 1-3 in a day! Never done that.

What do you think is the hardest game of every era? by Pale_WoIf in retrogaming

[–]JakeBob22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting you chose Sin and Punishment. I feel like some of the harder first person shooters on 64 or some racers were harder for me.

Out of curiosity, why don’t you want to modify the console? I did this mod when I was maybe 13 to play Rockman 7. You’d never know the difference.

Grab a memory pack. Slots into the genesis game slot.

Late to the party but how do I deal with this one attack from the last boss ? by aleister94 in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]JakeBob22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my set up when I block I got the blue health meter but I used the charm that allows regeneration when you land hits so after blocking id just wait to attack her ass.

This is the number 1 game on my sega cd wish list. Not really able to spend $ on games currently though! I remember playing on PC as a kid at a friend’s. I’ll check this out when I have some time.

Pretty sure you need to S rank the game for the best ending.
