Failure or not, Zelda II had enough novel ideas in my book to warrant a spinoff series or something. And hey, if the first time was rushed and sent off to an alternate team, then why not try again proper?

Personally I think SMB: the Lost Levels could only be guilty of being too punishing at times. I liked a couple of things, such as warp pipes that sent you backwards. Clearly they were testing the mettle of the more experienced player. And this time, no levels were recycled.

Christ Almighty.  GP - When you respond to a post directly above yours, there's absolutely no reason to quote the whole thing.  If you want to quote a small portion of a larger message, that's fine (encouraged, even), but don't quote the whole Goddamn thing.  There seems to be an interesting conversation going on here, but I'll never know because I can't stand sorting through this crap.

That last time was a joke

i too would like to know about the overworld bug... also about the grinding.. what is that?

"Grinding" is a term often used to describe killing lots of enemies to gain experience points in an RPG so that you're strong enough to progress through the game.  The overworld bug is fairly simple.  As you walk around random baddies appear and try to intercept you.  The map is divided into squares.  If you are between Square A and Square B when you intercept a baddie, you will always return on Square B after the generic battle area.  Now, Square B can be an "event" square--a square that actually triggers a side-scrolling sequence that is usually unavoidable due to map design.  These events are more difficult than the generic battle areas.  If you intercept a baddie when walking onto such an event square, you'll enter a generic baddie sequence instead of the more intricate and difficult event.  When the battle is over, you will be on Square B and can continue to Square C without entering Square B's event.

Gotcha, thanks a lot!
