Super Mario Bros RPG - Take Two!

Super Mario Bros - Sewers

I start off by doing a little hunting for secret stuff. I jumped around in a lot of the houses and didn't really find anything but Logan showed me that if you go behind this house      ^^^

There is someone who tells you what to do next. Neat!

I find that the way Mario swims, where you can't see his legs, is a large source of entertainment for me. I continued to hum funky songs while floating him around, not accomplishing anything.

Logan was watching me play this session and I think he found it hilarious  Doesn't matter, I did! XD

I punched a lot of little pishys who wanted to punch me back. 

I won in the end, but it was an empty feeling, killing little fish.

 I headed back to town to stock up on stuff and apparently, I was unaware that I needed to be buying gear. Logan told me he was shocked I had even made it this far without buying gear. 

Fun fact: 

I like to jump around a lot, and I jumped on the counter in the shop and Logan said "You don't need to get on the counter" and moments later, upon speaking to the vendor, he scolded me from standing on his counter top and told me to get down before he would sell anything to me... 

Sheesh *shakes Fist*

 I buy some gear and equip it. It boosted their stats a lot.

 I was surprised myself that I had made it thus far basically in the nude. 

Won't happen again!

 Fast forward, I head back and pwn stuff and gain a level before progressing in the sewers 

(as my auditor suggested) 

so that when I came upon the boss I could defeat him with ease!

 Funny, I find that I have little aptitude for in-game navigation.
It applies to any game I play really, and this Mario RPG is no exception.
I had to ask Logan for directions a couple times.
However, I have an excellent sense of direction IRL.

(Fun fact: I just had to add RPG and IRL to the dictionary. Didn't notice that before.)

 While on my adventures I came across something Logan referred to as a "Mimic" but the game called a "Pandorite".
Apparently they are a reoccurring theme in RPGs when you try and open a chest you find a baddie.

I felt the boss time draw nearer and with the pending doom upon me, I needed a nap.
I headed back to town to recoup and descended, once again, into the damp darkness.
(Had to ask Logan for directions again. Dur)

Boss time! - Belome

This guy is pretty funny. He looks like an overstuffed children's toy with a REALLY long tongue. 

I am not the only one who noticed that... Mallow took a stab at him... brave little tadpole.

He licks people, consumes people for two turns (I think?) and does a status effect that reduces PewPew.

So to defeat him I had to equip a pin to Mario's accessory slot that makes it so this puff and fluff doesn't turn him into a scarecrow (as shown below).

Poor Mallow ended up getting eaten and turned into a scarecrow a lot. He is my trusty companion though, and as I am his, I whooped this guys butt and set my toad friend free!

After slaying said boss, I remained in the sewers only long enough to be virtually flushed out into a BRAN NEW WORLD full of....

MINI GAMES!!!

^ This one I had to float down a water fall and collect coins on the way down, trying to make sure I took the right path. Ahem.... I took the wrong one a few times. SHUTTIT.

Last but not least I bounded from barrel to barrel floating down a treacherous river to retrieve some kind of bogus currency, which upon completing my task, I found I could not keep until I collected a certain amount. BLAST! Perhaps for naught, perhaps not for naught.

While I was collecting said currency Logan told me that the green ones where "Frog Coins". 

When I approached this guys he said I needed 60 coins to turn in for a Frog Coin. I promptly inquired of Logan what a "Frog Coin" this man was holding hostage was used for, and why I should free it. 

The above happened very shorty after. I think this is going to be fun! *Facepalm*
