      I'm going to need a few days to take a break to deal with some family stuff. My granddad just passed away.

      Oh man, I'm sorry that happened... That truly sucks...

      Don't sweat it.
      When in doubt, take a BYTE out of life.

          After toning down the humor, I updated the OP with the description and challenge for the month.

            Just for kicks and giggles I compiled a Wikia of sorts a ways back with a bit of an interactive map (best used on desktop)

              I changed the achievement to a slightly more difficult one.

                Got to the Forest Maze last night. Attempting to get as many cheevos as possible to limit my playthroughs.

                  I’ve never more than casually played this in the past, but it seems like timed hits are a big part of the battle system. For attacks you can hear the little chime to let you know you’re doing it right, but for timing defense is there any way to know when it’s the right time to press A? I’m doing a bit of grinding to try to figure it out, but it seems to be totally random.

                    @obsidianspider it’s generally right before the attack happens but it varies based on the enemy. Each one has a moment in their attack animation that is the moment to time the block.

                    There are some enemies I cannot block consistently for the life of me.

                      Just beat Boshi in the race on Yo’ster Isle.

                      I THINK I’ve gotten all the hidden treasure boxes up until this point too. 🙏

                      Edit: Just did my first mine cart in 2:56. 40 seconds slower than the cheevo...that’ll take some practice. 😰

                        Is Culex more difficult than the final Smithy battle?

                                I’m somewhat close to having beaten this already. I’ve got 37/66 achievements. I might need a game of the month for the second half of January. 😂

                                  I've never actually beaten this, but have always enjoyed it. Sadly, this is one of the few games that do not work on my SD2SNES, so I'll be using a Pi unless I come across a great deal on an English cart.

                                  You won't regret this game! Imho one of the best RPGs on the SNES with average difficulty grade.

                                      Nostalgia hit me hard after I watched the video. I still remember playing this as it was the first game I ever played on a console.

                                        Now you've reminded me to go back to this game and beat it! I've played it several times and always making it to the Axem Rangers and I would always stop after that for some reason. Hopefully not this time.

                                          I wish there was a good fan hack sequel to this game. :\
