I think when you have enough time to beat at least a dozen video games and get a dozen more, go through a whole grade (9th grade), and get the first 3 seasons of Teen Titans Go without blogging, you know something is up. I'm just going to make this post about games I've gotten and/or beaten since my last post.
I'll just go over all of the games I've beaten over the years so far, with more pictures in the next update. Note that the pictures are now the box art of the game rather than the cartridge, chip, disc, or Wii Virtual Console thumbnail.
1. New Super Mario Bros. - The first game I ever beat on my own. I'm still not quite sure how I did it exactly, but I'll bet I could do it again.
2. New Super Mario Bros. U - I haven't found all 96 exits yet, but I did find plenty of secrets while also beating the game. I got to Rock Candy Mines in about a week after I got it, but then I got Super Mario 3D World.
3. Super Mario Galaxy - It's hard enough playing a Super Mario game where you have a bunch of different levels, but try playing a game with the same levels, just with different objectives! At least it's more linear than Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine.
4. Super Mario Galaxy 2 - I beat the game, and got to World S. I'm on the Flip-Out Galaxy right now.
5. Super Mario 3D Land - There's not much to say on this one, but I beat it, that's for sure.
6. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team - I had to use a walkthrough to get through Somnom Woods, but I still beat it easily. Now I just need to see if I can beat it again without a walkthrough.
7. Super Mario 3D World - I sometimes play this with my cousin Trey, but I still beat it on my own.
8. New Super Mario Bros. 2 - The whole point is to get a million coins, but I barely have 20,000. I still beat it, though.
9. Kirby's Dream Land - Remember when I said I got through Green Greens and Castle Lololo without getting hurt once and the rest of the game without dying? Well, I got through the entire game without getting hurt. I had a few close calls in Castle Lololo, a few more in Float Islands, and a whole bunch in Bubbly Clouds (The Dizzies, Puffies and Kooklers kept popping out of nowhere). I also beat the Extra Game without getting a Game Over.
10. Kirby's Adventure - I tried beating it for the world record of 43 minutes and 40 seconds, but I only got to Yogurt Yard 3 before the timer went off. I still beat it on a normal time, and I hit all the switches; even the one in Orange Ocean 3.
11. Kirby's Epic Yarn - When it's impossible to die, let alone get a game over, I knew it was only a matter of time before I'd tackle this one.
12. Kirby: Triple Deluxe - I still don't know what the Game Over screen looks like for this game. I'm considering trying to get a Game Over on purpose just to see.
13. Kirby: Squeak Squad - My video game instincts wouldn't let me beat the game without getting every last treasure in the game, but I got all 120 treasures and beat it anyway.
14. Paper Mario - I beat it once, and now I'm going for a double round. This time, without walkthroughs. I also think that this is one of the games that proves Super Mario is basically a cartoon in video game form (not falling until you realize you're in thin air, swirly eyes when dizzy, etc).
15. Mario Kart DS - They say Mirror Mode is harder than the normal 150cc engine class, but the way I see it, once you get used to the opposite turns, it's just as easy (well, as easy as you can get, anyway).
16. Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam - This was likely the first RPG game I got through without needing to use a walkthrough the first time around.
17. Kirby's Return to Dream Land - I beat both the main game and the Extra game. I got a few Game Overs when I was playing with Trey, but he keeps dying, which keeps lowering our life supply for the both of us.
18. Kirby Mass Attack - It wasn't too hard once I got the hang of the unique controls. I beat the game, and I also beat some of the minigames.
19. Kirby's Dream Land 3 - I thought I had beaten it once, but you need to get all of the Heart-Stars. When I played the real final boss battle against Dark Matter and Zero, I was a tiny bit disturbed.
20. Kirby: Canvas Curse - The cool thing about this one is that all of the music tracks are remixed from previous Kirby games.
21. Kirby: Planet Robobot - As with Kirby: Triple Deluxe, I still don't know what the Game Over screen looks like for this game. The Robobot Armor is awesome, though.
22. Super Mario Land - This one took me longer than I thought it would, since there's only 12 levels in the game, but I still beat it.
23. Kirby's Block Ball - What do you get when you cross Kirby with Breakout? You get this. There are only 4 Copy Abilities, but I still liked it. Getting the Borderline Score on some of the levels was tough, though.
24. Kirby Super Star Ultra - All I have left is Helper to Hero, but I think that's a bonus game.
25. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land - I figured that it would be a piece of cake to beat if it was a remake of Kirby's Adventure, and I was right.
26. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story - I've been playing this for about eight years, and I didn't beat it until May 22, 2017. That's because I couldn't press the X button fast enough for Bowser to inhale the Dark Fawful Bug in the fight against Dark Bowser and the Dark Star Core so the Mario Bros. could fight the Dark Star Core.
27. Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 - I figure that if I can beat this, I can beat the original Super Mario Bros. 3.
28. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - There were a couple of roadblocks in Joke's End and Bowser's Castle, but I figured I could get it.
29. Kirby's Dream Land 2 - I'd say this is one of the shorter Kirby games. I can beat it in about two hours, but the first time I did so I had to look up walkthroughs to find the Rainbow Drops.
30. Super Paper Mario - I'd say this is one of the most touching Mario game series. I didn't start crying when I beat it, of course.
31. New Super Mario Bros. Wii - I've been playing this one for eight years as well, but I lost it for about three years or so.
32. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions - I beat the GBA version, so this was easy. I almost beat Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser as well.
33. Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time - I tried beating the game earlier, but my stats were too low.
Well, that's everything. See you later!
2. New Super Mario Bros. U - I haven't found all 96 exits yet, but I did find plenty of secrets while also beating the game. I got to Rock Candy Mines in about a week after I got it, but then I got Super Mario 3D World.
