      @pokeengineer I also got one for Christmas and hacked it not even an hour later. Just threw some more SNES games onto it.

        I didn't hack mine because, well I use my Raspberry Pi for that sort of thing. Also, I'm kinda a collector, of sorts and that is probably the only one I will ever have.

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

          Resetting my cheevos for this game to participate. Made it part way through a couple months ago and got busy. This will be a good time to start over and finish it.

            Love this game. Top 10 for me. Beat it last month for the first time in my life. As a kid, I only got to Monstro town and could never finish it.

            Maybe this is the push I need to go back and defeat Culex. Did that as a kid somehow... Isn't he tougher than the Smithy battle?

              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.

                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...

                      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. 😂
