how the gently caress do you beat bowser the normal way in smb3?

like how do you not get all the way to the end without either a hammerbros suit or fire flower and kill him that way?

it's thematically more appropriate that bowser is defeated by his own nature than for you to aggressively attack him directly. from the very first smb on, bowser has always been his own undoing and people who use fireballs or hammers on him are not experiencing the true vision of the video game super mario bros.

Truly the worst feeling is looking at how contrived and fake these gifs are. Except maybe the last one.

the first gif just reveals the true nature of our hubris. not content with the life we have, we constantly struggle for a new and more 'enticing' appearing life which is often our very own downfall

I remember playing that game on Sega Game Gear and not being able to beat that level or maybe the one right after it it was impossible to do in a moving car with 15 minutes of battery life in my 12 AA batteries extended battery pack.

You gotta be particularly unlucky because after the first time that you pick it up, he starts chucking those spikey assholes at you and most quickly learn to try to leave him alone. Unless you're pro. But then you'd probably know better than to pull off that scrub move

Where does it hurt?
if you use a game genie in any way during the bowser fight in smb3, the game will freeze about a half second after the door appears

there's a section in the game genie handbook that's like BOWSER HAS A EVIL TIME TRAP SET UP, AND YOU MUST HOLD UP AT THE DOOR THE INSTANT HE DISAPPEARS

in tmnt nes if you use infinite life on a game genie, if you fall in lava, you just sit there stunned forever

if shredder hits you with his thing that turns you back into a turtle you shrink into a weird turtle fetus thing and then sit there unmoving forever b/c it's a scripted kill and it doesn't happen right

Never trust genies, they'll try to go all Wishmaster on your rear end and find a loophole in your wishes.

oblivion is entertaining on console because it's a broken pile of poo poo (not a surprise) but it has more unpatched bugs and it's funny to see the system try to deal with 'em

you can probably rrod a 360/yellow ring a ps3 in fifteen minutes with stock oblivion

The only game I have 4 digit hours in is TF2 where most all of that time is idling in text mode to sell items back when that was a thing you could do.


3632 hours in dota 2 though, that's the worst feeling.
