I LOVE CHRISTMAS AND BIRTHDAYS!

Yay! Christmas and my birthday have come and gone, but I got a lot of presents and beat worlds 3 and 4 of both Paper Mario: Sticker Star and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.

List of presents involving video games:

Super Mario Land: I'd lost this in the garage, so now I have two.
Super Mario Land 2: Who knew you could play all the worlds in any order? On the other hand, who knew you had to re-beat the bosses if you got a game over?
Super Mario Sunshine: This one is super tricky. I've barely gotten past the first level, and already I seem to stink. But, there's a saying out there that states "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." I don't know who said this, but whoever it was must really be smart.
Mario Kart 7: I got two of these, but I traded one in for a different game.
Super Paper Mario: The "different game" in question is this one, and I got a good deal. I haven't played this in 2 years, but I managed to get past the first three worlds and am on the fourth one.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story: I'd lost this in the garage too, so I ended up with two.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS: The only bad thing about this is that nobody I know has a 3DS, and even if they did, they're too far away to link to.
Ultimate NES Remix: Kicking it old school. Yeah...
Kirby: Squeak Squad: I think I got to World 5 before I lost it at my dad's house, as well as my DSi. I still have my 3DS,  which can play any DS game.
Kirby and the Amazing Mirror: It's cool, but I noticed that there's no map, and you don't know where to go. Plus, I noticed that Kirby: Squeak Squad's graphics are exactly the same as this game's.
Kirby Super Star Ultra: All you have to do is take Kirby Super Star, cram it into a DS game chip, and sprinkle a pinch of awesome on it, and you're all set.
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 Complete Series, The Super Mario Bros. Super Show Complete Series, and Super Mario World Complete Series: I watched The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 Complete Series on the way home from my dad's with his built in DVD player, and it was awesome.

I also got a ton of money, some iTunes, a bunch of books, some Legos, and some clothes.

WHY I LIKE TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES

In case you wonder why I like video games, I just do. I was 5 years old, almost 6, when my mom married Sean. His house was fun. There was a trampoline, a fort, a loft in my big brother's room, and a shed that was converted to my room once Mom and Sean got married. Best of all, they had a Super Nintendo. I started playing Super Mario because my big brother Chase played it a lot. So, Chase taught me how to play Super Mario, and that's how I started playing video games.

When I was 7, our family got a Wii. It was so cool, I even had Grandma get one. My favorite game at the time was Mario Kart Wii. I was pretty bad at first, but that was because I chose the 150cc engine class every single time.  But then I figured that out, and I got pretty good. Now I'm a pro.

My sister Kayla used to have a DS, so I got a DSi XL for Christmas. I got Super Mario 64 DS, New Super Mario Bros., Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, and Picross 3D. That was the smartest idea ever. I still have it. (As of December 18, 2014)

I got a Game Boy right before summer camp. I had a bunch of books packed and mom got me that for camp. She only got 2 games, and I found out a year and a half later that one was for the Game Boy Color, but I still have it.

I found my big brother Dean's Game Boy Color in the jeep. I was lucky because I had to go to a concert. Plus, it had Pokemon Gold in there! I still have it.

Chase gave me his Game Boy Advance because he didn't use it any more. That's why I got Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

DON'T EXPECT ME TO BLOG MUCH DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.

Okay, I forgot again. Not only that, I had to do the quarter exams and other stuff, and I got such a big brain cramp from the studying and the exams and the homework and the class work that I got a bit rusty on the retro games. I'm still okay, though, in school and hobbies.

I had a sleepover on Friday with my cousin Trey Damewood. He's really nice, and we share a bunch of things in common. We played some video games, watched TV, and went to the park. (Yes, I care about the real world, not just the virtual world.) It was fun.

I didn't get to play much video games, but it was okay.

 Mario Kart 8: I played the Star Cup with Trey, and I wanted to play it with Chase today, but the Wii U wouldn't work on the TV, only the game pad.

 Mario Kart Wii: I just felt like it. I beat the Star Cup on 50cc with 60 points (anyone can)

Super Mario Bros. 2: Okay, don't get me wrong, but I got rusty all of the sudden. I have absolutely no idea why.

 Super Mario Bros. 3: How I got rusty on this I will never know.

 Super Mario World: I beat the first level of the Special World. I tried the second, but I lost.

Super Mario Kart: I only played this to prove to Chase that this was the very first Mario Kart game, and I only played it for a single minute.









Paper Mario: Sticker Star: I beat the first world in about 3 days.

OKAY, I HAD TO DO SCHOOL AND JUST FORGOT.

Okay, I got so caught up in school that I just forgot. I'm sorry. Just don't expect me to blog much over the school year. On the bright side, I did play a whole boatload of video games; and beat Kirby's Dream Land without getting a game over, beating Chapter 1 in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, getting the third piece of the Beanstar in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, beating the NES version of Donkey Kong on my Wii Virtual Console, getting plush toys resembling the Koopalings, and much more. Here's all the games I played in the last bit.

Okay, that was a ton. It's been a month, though. Hopefully this doesn't get too whacky.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, the post title might have looked like I'm overreacting a little, but I'm just really glad I got to play Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. I finally got the 16 MB memory card, popped it into the Nintendo GameCube, and played away !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door: I have to say, this is great! Right now I'm in Hooktail's Castle. I just saved, and things are going good.

I ORDERED A GAMECUBE MEMORY CARD

Okay, so you want to know why I don't have anything mentioning how cool Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is, or anything like that? That's because I forgot to buy a GameCube Memory card, which explains why I couldn't save. I ordered it, and now I have to wait until Friday.

On a side note, I started 7th grade at Lied Middle School in Las Vegas.

I GOT THE GAME CUBE STUFF!

Guess what? I got the stuff for the Nintendo Game Cube!!! I didn't get to play it yet because we were busy, my parents went out on a date, and I don't know how to plug in a Game Cube. I mostly just played the computer while I waited.
