Predictable list...does someone actually get paid to come up with these? They're not that original.

Great moments. Love the ode to the spiked shell from Mario Kart One gripe: Why is Wind Waker always ragged on? Such a great game with a tragic story. And absolutely one of the most gorgeous games ever

"The first was introduced in Super Mario Bros. 3 called the Super Leaf, which gives Mario a rac**** suit. Also in this game is the Tanuki suit, which allows flight and the ability to turn into a statue." There's two seperate items, caterfree.

@alephzero6767. Yeah, but the Halo books are fanfiction anyway. Just higher quality than most of the things found on fanfiction.net.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IT IS A TANUKI SUIT, NOT A RAC**** SUIT. Learn you some Japanese culture!

My favorite games of all time would have to be Super Smash Bros, The Legend of Zelda series, and Super Mario 64. In SM64, I LOVE flying. Except when I fall. Ah well, I guess you cant have everything....

I love how they brought up the point about the laughing dog on Duck Hunt. So many times as a child, I would always try and shoot the dog, just to see if I could get lucky enough to finally hit it and kill that damn thing.

Personally, I always liked the RPG games best (Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy, etc). But Double Dribble -- jumping out of bounds at the top of the screen and shooting a 3 off the glass to destroy the computer on the hardest level by over 100 points was awesome. :) Anyone remember "The Adventures of Bayou Billy?" What about "Silver Surfer" or "Jaws?" And The Legend of Zelda 2 -- not even mentioned. You know the one, where you can turn into a fairy? Where you can't enter the last castle until you defeat every other level? Sad. As for the SNES, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was insanely awesome.
