I'm pretty bad too.
Me: "Oh god, that was brutal."
Them: "Oh, that boss? That guy was too easy."
God damnit

Huh. I never did that, but I'm guessing it's possible that Nintendo didn't play through that temple well enough.

But I've actually ran through several Banjo-Tooie games just to see how many ways that game can make it impossible to get all the Jiggies. I think I found three. I remember that for the piglets in the pool, if you put the fresh water in first, they'll thank you for cleaning their pool, but not give you anything, even after turning off the pipe spilling toxic waste. I've long since deleted that file for some crazy reason, and threw away the hard copy of it, so I can't think of any other things, but I know there was more.

But yeah, I feel flustered when I play the NES Zeldas because after some point, it becomes incredibly hard. I don't think I've ever hated wizards before, but Zelda changed that.

Also there is a strategy for Minesweeper. Though sometimes getting killed on the first click is common.

First boss as in the golem that's holding Ciel, or the first boss as in Aztec Falcon at the recycle center?

Because Aztec Falcon is fucking insane as a first boss.

I'm damn sure you can't get perma stuck that way!

I'm sure that either ages or seasons had a dungeon where you could put the key into the wrong hole and get perma-stuck, the chances of this happening were very slim though.

Link's Awakening had a door like that, if I remember right. In the earlier releases, use Roc's Feather to jump over a barely-narrow-enough-to-jump-over river, use your key on the wrong side, and you're set!

I remember getting stuck in Turtle Rock in Link's Awakening. There was a key door right outside the boss door that if I opened I always ended up short one key. I never open that door ever because it's unneeded and I can never find another key to open it.

Aztec Falcon is way too hard for a first boss... And it is timed even. Maybe it's just that I got more skilled, or maybe elemental weaknesses, but you'll probably find most bosses easier than it.

Link's Awakening had a door like that, if I remember right. In the earlier releases, use Roc's Feather to jump over a barely-narrow-enough-to-jump-over river, use your key on the wrong side, and you're set!

I think that is on all versions.

Also Minesweeper half of the time is a luck-based game.

I love this game so much and I can't understand why so many people think it's extremely difficult. Am I the only person here who has beaten the actual Famicom version without continues?

(Not including Worlds 9-D of course...)

I've done it with no continues long ago on the FDS version. I think I've even done it with no warps (I definitely came close, like to 8-3).

I'm an SMB2J fanatic though.
