[action] Exciting Arcade Shenanigans!

Sep 07, 2011 09:29

[So a while back someone added a DDR machine to the arcade, despite not knowing the first thing about how they work. Which means anyone can do it. Which means Jessica can fill a void that has been lurking in her life here ( Read more... )

[Amamiya was a Super Mario 64 kid, having been born in 1994. If she'd had older siblings or cousins she'd perhaps have played some of the SNES titles, but she had neither. And, never being huge on video games even as a young girl, she'd only ever known Mario as a third-person platformer, not a 2D sidescroller. So she doesn't actually know what she's looking at.]

This one's new.

notvitiligo September 8 2011, 00:57:53 UTC

[She glances over from the corner of her eye; there are fireballs to dodge!]

Brand new. Want to help break it in?

gentlecuteside September 8 2011, 00:59:41 UTC

...I suppose I don't have anything better to do.

[She takes the other Beanbag chair.]

So, did you make this one yourself?

notvitiligo September 8 2011, 01:00:52 UTC

Yeah. Well, other than the wrong gender and all.

gentlecuteside September 8 2011, 01:10:51 UTC

Wrong gender?

[She looks up at the title.]

Super Maria Sisters...Oh.

[That dinging sound you may have heard is a lightbulb going off in her head as she figures it out.]

notvitiligo September 8 2011, 01:14:44 UTC

Exactly.

It's just wrong to have Princess Peach get kidnapped by the Koopa Queen.

gentlecuteside September 8 2011, 01:18:11 UTC

It's certainly a switch.

[Now that she knows what she's looking for, she can notice some similarities between the sprite onscreen and the portly plumber she's more familiar with.]

This must be one of the older games, then? The only one I ever played looked pretty different.

notvitiligo September 8 2011, 01:20:21 UTC

The original. [There may be a hint of pride.]

Well, unless you count regular Mario Brothers. What'd you play?

gentlecuteside September 8 2011, 01:23:23 UTC

Um...

[She tries to remember. It was a long time ago.]

Super Mario...54? I haven't played since I was pretty young.

notvitiligo September 8 2011, 01:28:31 UTC

Oh, wow, that's way after my time. Well, technically, this is before my time, but...

Anyway, give me a minute and I can let you in.

gentlecuteside September 8 2011, 01:31:26 UTC

I don't think there was actually 54 games. I think they called it that for some other reason.

[She sits, watching, trying to figure out how to play the game properly.]

notvitiligo September 8 2011, 01:34:06 UTC

Wasn't that one 3D? -ish?

gentlecuteside September 8 2011, 01:56:30 UTC

Yes! It wasn't all...flat, like this one.

notvitiligo September 8 2011, 16:54:05 UTC

I'm tempted to pull out a "you young whippersnappers" speech here, only I'm pretty sure we're about the same age.

...OK, any one in particular look appealing to you? One and Three are the most normal. Two's kind of... weird. You throw food at things.

gentlecuteside September 12 2011, 05:49:55 UTC

Honestly? I have no idea. I never played very many games as a child. I'll just have to trust in your judgment.

notvitiligo September 12 2011, 15:01:24 UTC

Really? Though these were the only ones I really bothered with. I'm definitely not a, um, hardcore gamer or whatever.

I guess I'll go with three, since it's the best of the bunch.

Want to be Mario?
