Discussion Thread – The 13th Annual Greatest Games Event

Decided to add another clue for 21 - it's not an obscure game at all.

#21
- Not sure how all those birds have survived so long, seeing as water damages them.
- If you beat 7 lots of 7, you’ll experience heavy flooding.
- Finding and keeping track of one of the collectibles can be quite a task.
- The developer, often praised for their attention to little details, made sure every level felt connected to each other, as well as the central hub. It’s not unusual to be able to see one level off in the distance when you’re playing in another.
- I don’t know why that creature suffers in water - we’ve taken him there in previous games without consequence
- Pachinko and a poison pipeline drove some gamers mad
- Three of the above clues are linked by a common feature - a feature that plays a major part in this game from a popular series.

#18
- At the file selection screen, if you slightly misspell a prominent feature of the game, it’ll net you something good.
- If you want to find everything, you’ll have to opt for the worst possible prize at one point.
- As you conquer each world, the final boss’ stage draws ever closer.
- And the location of the final stage is the same sort of location that you start the following game in.

#17
- More action oriented to its predecessor, this sort of indicated where the franchise it took its cues from was going to head in the future.
- A more linear game, less focus on puzzles, and upgrading your arsenal via points accrued in combat are some other features that differentiate it from its predecessor.
- Features more outside areas than its predecessor - a more natural environment for the variety of enemies you face.

#16
- A game that has been released on numerous consoles, I’d argue that it wasn’t until over ten years after initial release that combat felt intuitive and right thanks to the touch screen controls on one version.
- A HD version has been released, but, given the graphical style, the original still looks pretty damn good I’d say

#15 Yoshi's Woolly World
- Has this cutesy character ever been more cuddly than in this game?

#14 Super Mario 64
- So that guy is an cameraman, as well as a race official?

My list so far
