Wii


For Christmas Stephanie and I were blessed to get the curse of a Wii from her parents.  I say curse because all of our spare time is now spent not on catching up in classes, but playing Mario!!  (it's not quite that bad, but I am wary of the entrapment that it represents).

For the last couple weeks we've been involving ourselves in playing Super Mario Bros Wii, and I just realized that we did a pretty good job of beating the game in just a few weeks (we started Sunday Jan. 1) considering: we did it together, we never played by ourselves (we each had our own games for when we were home alone).  We went through every world, although we did earn the trip to some world-skipping cannons, we went back and beat every castle the levels.  We even spent some time playing finding missed star coins and earning extra lives in World 1.  

And for the visual enjoyment of all.  This is how you beat Bowser.  You avoid one half of the screen while not falling into the lava.

And how do you do it?  (notice the mario in the above pic?  yeah, you pretty much have to fly.)

  1. I also noticed your very high life count. I take you found some of the convenient ways to gain lots of extra lives? I loved those. :)

    Oh this brings back fond fond memories.

  2. Due to the time-wasting possibilities you mentioned, my roommate and I took advantage of the world-skipping cannons. That came back to bite us for the final world, though. I don't think I've unlocked more than about 1/3 of the levels in the game.
    Fun, anyway! And cool that you guys did it together.
