Went over to cousins' house for New Years Day.

And was pleasantly surprised to see that they had the game. Apparently, they bought the game by accident as the store clerk placed it in their stuff I think or something. But they bought it for the little kids and the adults seemed to enjoy it the most.

I didn't do so bad. My lilttle bro was down 7-1 and I came back and lost 9-5, which wasn't so bad.

Then I played that cousin twice more and won by like 5 points min. Forget the score exactly.

Also beat some other people.

But my 2 weeks off from the game has really thrown my super strikes for a loop, before I was able to hit it 9 out of 10 times, now I can't even line up one of the sides. Gonna have to practice before return to school cuz I know those folks smell blood.

On another note,

I like to give this game credit for being one of the first Mario games to take a whole lot of leeway with the characters.

Sure Mario's costume is classic and his behavior defined. But they spiced it up a bit. Even giving everyone different clothes, which is pretty much a first. An even an attitude. The attitude is different but doesn't seem like something they wouldn't do.
