Well, I got totally lost at first, then I just didn't play it because it was too damn hard and all of the glitches made the game too powerful for me. (I wonder if they really were glitches, or things to make the game impossible to beat!) Then I started again, but I haven't beaten it. In all the years I've owned it, it still tests me and makes me go off the deep end. But I like it because it teaches me that I have to be patient in order for things to work out, and I am, and they are... sort of.
Also, very nice place to live, marioboy, I hear that it is contributing a lot to global warming. But I'd prefer to go somewhere that doesn't manufacture red-hot pitchforks...
