a few days ago i played through yoshi's island. now i did download the rom for "super mario world", but i die every 20 seconds, and you can only save every 3 or 4 levels. i cant imagine what type of motherfucking super-nerd skills you need to get through this game. it's too motherfucking HARD. but i enjoyed yoshi's island and i have lots of spare-time at the moment. i never played SNES as a child, so what should i dl, i want silly jump'n'run stuff. any tips? |

eh.. if you find super mario world hard, remember that most emulators has a save state thingie.. it lets you save wherever you are.. it's kind of cheating, but if you can't make it at all, try it. download zelda: a link to the past |

you probably want the donkey kong country series. I can probably beat super mario world in 1 life. |

"out of this world" is run and jump minus the silly. But it's very original an neat... although once I got mid-game it started getting irritating figuring out what to do and I guit. |

No offense, but Super Mario World is like the most excessively EASY platformer ever, haha. They practically shower you with 1-ups and powerup stashes, it's insane. Other than that, it's a Mazdapiece. Donkey Kong Country is a great pure platformer, very easy to pick up and play and a good difficulty arc to it... easy at first and a tricky bastard near the end. Get DKC. Get Contra 3- The Alien Wars, everybody that's ever played that game loves it. You might want to use the built in Game Genie features on whatever emulator you're using if you're having trouble. And you WILL have trouble. My favorite platformer on the SNES and of all-time is Super Castlevania IV. But if you think Mario World is hard, then I dunno if you'd want to touch this... |
||||||||

yup, look for a "freeze/defrost" function ^^ best cheat ever. and get Donkey Kong Country. i've also started Super Mario World again... this game is great, never seems to get old : ) and all those secret levels to unlock... i didn't find it hard though, except for the final fight against Bowser and the "Soda Lake" level. oh and i remember "Outrageous" in the secret zone was kinda hard too but i beat it. now it was years ago... maybe you're not used to playing with a keyboard, it can require some adaptation time. (personally it annoys me when i have to use L and R buttons since my keyboard config doesn't work well with them) |

i find Donkey Kong Country easier than Super Mario World... even though both are easy, a few levels in Super Mario World can be annoying. even the "Platform Perils" level in DKC is easy once you've got the hang of it. Donkey Kong Country was the first game i beat by the way! |

Super easy game but there's definitely some tricky parts if you're trying to get *96 status. There's a part, I think the end of Cheese Bridge, where you have to use your cape to fly under the goal to get to a secret goal. Very easy to fall off the screen to your death or to hit the first goal by accident. That pissed me right the fuck off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes ^^ well now that i remember, there are some very well-hidden bonus rooms in DKC as well if you want to get 101*... in "Orang-Utan Gang" especially. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Oh man, I forgot that people use keyboards for these things. I suppose Mario World would be tricky in that case. Bogus. I picked up two cheap Microsoft Sidewinders, basically the same thing as an SNES controller. They were only like 10 bucks each or something. |

I actually don't know if I've ever played yoshi's island. I did play one yoshi game that was sickenly intended with kids as a target audience. I think it was n64 and probably yoshi's story. I think megaman x is another snes game that was good, I forget how good it was.. but the playstation megaman 8 was about as gay as yoshi's story. Another gay game is "spin jam" for playstation. All these rainbow colors and happy songs and shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah Yoshi's Story was gay and sucked. Yoshi's Island, however, was a platforming juggernaut. And some of Koji Kondo's neatest music. You should probably play it or something. |

Ophecks > that sure would be handy. i have a real SNES too but the controller is dirty and not very responsive and all (i should try to open it and clean it from the inside), and i barely have 2-3 games on it... tried buying some new controllers for cheap (€2 each) but the controller pad is really crap. w M w > Yoshi's Story, yes. but Nintendo thought it well: it is for very young kids, but it can have a bit of challenge if you're trying to get the 30 melons in every stage... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've reached 90 at this game : i can't find the special way in cheese bridge, but Ophecks told how to achieve it ; i finished DKC1,2,3 at 101,102,103 and my favourite is the 2nd one ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw.. yoshi's island finished with 6 stars héhé ! but the special level with all the monkeys was tricky, as well as the last with the boss where you must keep your 30 stars to achieve 100% !! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah ! one level in the facory was tricky too : there was a hidden room IN another hidden room ! fuckings bastards... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bought new controllers too ; you may need to play with them a certain time before they "break in" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't remember how much i did... as i said i'm starting it again, i'm far from finished yet - still at castle and fortress #5 (in the forest of illusion). haven't tried DKC 3, but DKC 2 didn't catch me as much as the first one... i haven't even finished it. : | |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, they're unofficial ones... i couldn't find official ones : | and the d-pad doesn't work well, you have to hold the right button a bit up-right otherwise it doesn't work. yuck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DKC 2 is better than the first imo... level design, fun, music, atmosphere, bonus challenge, evertything is better ! as much as mario world 2 (yoshi's island) is better than the first nevertheless i can understand it if you played DKC first, becuz i played DKC2 first |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got unofficial ones too... i can only say that in french : "avec une des deux manettes je dois me mettre de maniere à ce que le fil reste en l'air et tout marche bien ; si le fil pendouille rien ne marche ! c vrt bizarre" |

It must suck not having ebay very convenient if living outside the US or canada. Ebay is awesome as far as getting used CHEAP videogames. You might be better off getting an entire uses usa version SNES with usa version games, assuming they're compatible on the televisions or whatever in your area. Shipping would be more than the games probably but still cheap. I really need to learn how to program my own games. ophexorz- have you ever considered programming your own games (since you are so into them) or tried learning a computer language like c++? |
||||||||

okay, i'll try super mario world again with the freeze-function. maybe i'll develop the required skills while playing, too. hmm ... and i'll look for that donkey kong stuff, too. thx! |

I played the donkey kong country series recently and hardly was interested. I hate collecting things. Any game where you have to collect/find things usually turns me off somewhat now. I've done too much of it. I think the capper was banjo kazooie... jesus crap-ist... music notes... jimblies or whatever those colored small creatures are... I forget but like 5 other categories of crap to collect also. Maybe I'm confusing that game with donkey kong 64 which I mostly hated (only because it was too clone-ish of previous games). |
||||||||
|

|

haha... this remembers me of the N64 controller analog sticks. getting all used and weary and uncomfortable so soon. damn you, N64 controller sticks. |

When zelda came out everyone at nintendorks.com called that white gewish stuff that forms at the base of the analogue stick "fairy gew", in honor of zelda fairies. It happens on playstation also.. probably solidified sweat. Even though the setup of using the z button and the top right shoulder button was very unsymmetrical it worked very well in my mind as left and right respectively in some games (like fzero/starfox etc where you lean left or right or something). Shit, by the way starfox was very awesome and needs a proper sequal. If I remember the one on gamecube sucked if there even was one. |

btw, freezing is great. |

yeah i gotta say it is rediculous that you think mario world is extremely hard |
||||||||
|
|

|

what one of the many donkey kong snes games do you recommend? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
1 or 2, maybe 1 cos its traditional : ) also, the snes and nes are brilliant, im gonna try and get me a nes soon cos i have so many good memories. good snes games, mario world 1 n 2, mario all stars (however the nes versions are better) megaman x (again, original megaman is better), donkey kong, zelda. pilotwings :P long live snes! ( long live nes x 2 ) |

Smart Ball was a neat SNES platformer. I'm not sure how many people are familiar with it though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shadowrun.. an awesome cyber-punk snes game.. also made in australia. ahh makes me proud. : ) also check secret of mana if you like action RPG's like zelda. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
imo, the best game for snes was super metroid. |
