Walk off the clouds on the southeast side of the town in Nimbus Land...

That's to get the Lazy Shells. The Super Suit is hitting 100 times with a Super Jump.

Oh! Excuse me, you are completely right. No, I can't get the Super Suit either. And I managed a LOT of jumps once.

Another thing I always fail to get is the hidden Treasure Box in the corridor of Mushroom Kingdom Castle. You can only get it the first time you go in, because Toad runs straight down the hall and you have to jump on his head and hit the hidden block just as he passes under it (or so I've read).

I've gotten it before. First try, or after like 30 resets. Never after like one or two....

Even worse -- you have to ride on his head, and use him to jump on top of the doorframe into the throne room, then jump from the door frame to hit the invisible chest.

I would always reset if I missed that one, though.

First time I played, after getting the thing that beeps if theres a hidden chest. I spent maybe an hour in that room jumping like mad and could not find the thing. I generally avoid outside help but finally gave in. What the heck? Who makes something like that a gone forever? So mad.

I've played SMRPG on a ROM (never released in the UK ), and I have to say, it's good, but man, all the Paper Mario games are so much better (despite being newer). Well, Super Paper Mario is a different beast entirely, still a great game, but not so much an RPG.

Nostalgia is powerful, I suppose. I enjoyed the Paper Mario games, but not as much as I enjoyed SMRPG as a kid. Besides, SMRPG paved the way for all those shiny new Paper Mario games. Bow to Squaresoft! Now, please make me another Chrono game.

Anyone have the pleasure of playing Super Mario RPG for the SNES? I beat that game like once a year. Sometimes I just listen to the soundtrack while I'm playing Dominion or something.

I've beaten it thrice. Thinking about a 4th playthough

Wait, somehow I didn't notice the end of this - where can you get the soundtrack?

Quite adverse.

Thought as much. Nothing to see here then.

Also, I had never heard of this game before....Now I have just found it on an online emulater....that could be my evening gone!

When you first walk into the castle, get up on Toad's head and jump on to the space above the next door! Then jump back toward the hall.

It's like one measly Frog Coin, or something.

Also, go to the inn and save before you go into the castle the first time, so that you can try again when you mess up.

Ride his head until he stops to open the door, then jump northeast.

It's one measly frog coin that's also the only permanently missable hidden treasure in the whole game.

Meh, ill skip it

[jonts26]

Meh, ill skip it

But...but...100% completion!

Good luck getting that 100 jump thing. I can only get somewhere in the 20s on a consistent basis.

Oh, here's another thing, do you guys win the lookaway game in the Casino 100 times? I did it once, but it's so tedious (and the prize so unnecessary) that I never bothered in subsequent run-throughs.

I think my record is in the 70's. I bet with a couple of hours practice I can crack 100. I don't actually care about it much though.

[WanderingWinder]

Wait, why don't I remember a lookaway game... or a casino? Where's the casino?

It's rather annoying to gain access to. But hey, it's there.

I do get annoyed at the trend to add mini-games of 100% completion. I'd rather focus on the game itself and not the little scavenger hunts.

Although, I complain less when there's an in-game benefit to the scavenger hunt but only if it's progressive. Usually, I don't feel it's worth getting 100% for the benefit they offer, but it's nice if there is something that happens at the 20% mark and again at the 50% mark. The Grand Theft Auto games had something like this.

I say that I don't do 100% completion, but I still got all of the stars in Super Mario Galaxy, which was no small feat considering the difficulty of a few of them. I gave up the idea of getting 100% on Super Mario Galaxy 2, though. My patience can only last so long.

I don't mind scavenger hunts so much if they took very little effort (and, thus, money) to add. I don't want a portion of my purchase to be put toward something that I'm just not going to care about.

I had the same experience with Super Mario Galaxy I and II, just lost interest.

I always start like: "100% completion, here I come!" But I rarely do it.
Usually games start out super easy and you can get 100% completion on the first world or level without trying hard. But as you get further, it gets harder and you are at a crossroads: Play the same level over and over again trying to get 100% or just finish the game/story and go back. I usually do the latter and never go back.

There are exceptions of course. With Legend of Zelda: A Link to The Past I have played it so much and 100% is not that challenging or tedious, it's fun! The first time you complete the game you think: "What are those gaps in my items!?" And you start exploring more the second time to see what you've missed or you figure out how to get to "impossible" places.

This way getting 100% really adds something to the game and it isn't just for completion's sake.

I love Mario games, but for me the Galaxy games are a tad overrated. I still enjoyed them, but I have no desire to replay them or 100% complete them. They didn't have the same... heart, I guess? For my money, Sunshine was infinitely more delightful.

Of course Robz the zelda fanboy complains about a game's lack of heart(s).
