I went back and played it on an old PC a year or so ago and simply got bored with it after about 10 levels. Elementary-level arithmetic just isn't stimulating enough anymore. Word Munchers provided a better challenge, since I'm so inept at basic trivia. US presidents? European countries? Animals with pouches? I'm screwed :D Eliminating all the obvious answers and having to try and deduct the remaining correct answer(s) tends to keep the gameplay fresh, as well as offer a natural way to cause the game to end. I suppose I tend to actually *learn something* as well. Go figure. They need to make a more difficult version of Number Munchers.

If I wanted a fortitude builder I would play through Ghost and Goblins or something. Nah I know Kirby games are relatively easy.

She's nice for the super-frustrating parts, but can ruin the rest of the game. For bonus fun, go back to the level where you save Maria. Use Richter, get the key item that you need to get to Maria, and then use an item crash. Yeah, she definitely breaks the game.

Kid Ninja was determined to be a better music game than Rez if I remember correctly. I knew you guys thought it was the worst game ever but I actually missed the playthrough.

Try listening to it next time you're making a sandwich! Fact: the theme from Lolo makes any task, no matter how mundane, seem like an adventure.
