Even stuff just...like...bumping into other karts. I lose coins. CPU suffers no disadvantage. That increases "get the fuck out of my way" anger substantially. I mean, am I doing it wrong? I'm playing as Toad. He worked pretty well for 100cc and 150 Mushroom and Flower Cup. Should I be using a different character? Quote Link to comment
EH_STEVE Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Yeah a slight bump against a rival sends you flying. And the rubber banding is ridiculous. Even by Mario Kart standards. Quote Link to comment
Cryptic Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I haven't noticed the rubber banding because I've been too distracted dodging mini mushrooms thrown by Peach every 4 seconds. Quote Link to comment

Yeah that's pretty bad. They don't pass over any item blocks but keep hurling their anytime items at you. Quote Link to comment
Cryptic Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Ok, beat Star Cup 150cc. 1st, 1st, 1st, 3rd, 3rd. Managed to win because Peach (the CPU who is programmed to be the best racer when playing as Toad) choked in Bowser's Castle and got 5th. Since that happened, I was like...well, screw it, I guess I'll keep this 3rd place win since I'm still 2 ahead of Peach. Since I was quite a bit ahead of her, I only needed to get 4th in the last race in order to win overall. So that was nice. Quote Link to comment
EH_STEVE Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Not sure what to play next... I tried Punch Out, but I just never really liked Super Punch Out and blame it for the lack of sequels up until the Wii version. The new boxers are mostly terrible. The controls feel sluggish. Just not a fan. Still a little miffed over what happened with LttP. Wouldn't mind playing a game where I can abuse Save States but with short wires my setup doesn't have my SNES Mini in easily reach to make them frequently. Contra III: The Alien Wars - Never played Donkey Kong Country - Beaten a few times (prefer sequels) Final Fantasy VI - Never finished - Wasn't a fan last time I played (about 6 hours) F-Zero - Never played Kirby Super Star - Never played The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Beat 23425 times (one of favourite games) Mega Man X - Beaten a few times Secret of Mana - Beaten a few times (one of favourite games) Star Fox - Never finished - Wasn't a fan last time I played Star Fox 2 - Never played Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts - Played a few times back in the day, might've finished... Super Mario Kart - Already finished on this Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars - Already finished on this Super Mario World - Beaten 437634 times Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island - Beaten a couple times Super Metroid - Beaten a couple times - Want to wait until after playing Samus Returns EarthBound - Never finished - Wasn't a fan last time I played (only like 2 hours) Kirby's Dream Course - Never played Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting - Played a million times, but not interested Super Castlevania IV - I think I played a bit of it before… can't be sure Super Punch-Out!! - Finished back in the day, not a fan Quote Link to comment
EH_STEVE Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Also, anyone else debating on hacking their Classic and adding a few more games? I might add some... but mostly stick to "acceptable additions" - so games I have purchased on eShop or still own physical copies of. Quote Link to comment

EH_STEVE Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Just rounded my SNES Classic up to 50 titles Quote Link to comment
Cryptic Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 AH. FINALLY. I BEAT 150cc SPECIAL CUP WITH FIRST PLACE OVERALL. WITHOUT SAVE STATES (except to practice races, but I beat the cup all the way through without using save states) Done. Fuck Super Mario Kart. I win. alienboyva 1 Quote Link to comment
alienboyva Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) I finally played Star Fox 2 today and flying around in 360 with a D-pad doesn't feel good at all. It's like playing Star Fox Command with the D-pad instead of the stylus. I kinda see why people were giving it so much hate, though I don't think it deserves all that hate. Overall, I still think it's a good game, but It's just doing things a Super Nintendo shouldn't be doing. BTW, I did beat the game on Normal...

I had a great time with it. Quote Link to comment
Cryptic Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Some of these secrets in DKC are hidden better than I remember. It's really blown up my play time for this game. I'm finally down to 1 level without a ! (Tanked Up Trouble) and I'm not finding anything. Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 To add to Steve post: Polygon confirmed with Gamestop that they will receive shipments of Super NES Classic Edition for the next two week. Call your local Gamestop for when and how many they will have in stock before you head out get one. Happy hunting. Source Quote Link to comment
Cryptic Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Star Fox 2 - I got all of the Pepper medals in Normal and Hard difficulties, and also unlocked Expert mode. Man, Expert mode steps things up a lot. Things can go wrong really fast. Quote Link to comment
