Nintendo Games Mixture Trivia

1. The very first July/August 1988 issue of "Nintendo Power" features a famous claymation sculpture of Mario and the new protagonist of "Super Mario Bros. 2". Who is the final boss of "Super Mario Bros. 2"?

From Quiz From the Covers of "Nintendo Power"!

Answer: Wart

For subscribers of the "Nintendo Fun Club Letter", Nintendo sent out that first issue of "Nintendo Power" for free. That first issue established so many of the features that would characterize much of its content for years: Classified Information (tricks and codes), Counselor's Corner (tips on how to get through difficult parts of the game), reader letters and feedback, expansive coverage of new games, as well as information on future releases that in some cases never materialized. The story of Nintendo's conversion of the originally unrelated "Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic" into "Super Mario Bros. 2" is well known to Nintendo fans. The final boss is Wart, who promptly disappears from the Mario franchise just as quickly as he appeared, with only fleeting references to him in the decades after his initial appearance. His most notable subsequent appearance would be in the 1993 Gameboy title "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening" as a cameo.

Answer: 1989

The original Nintendo Game Boy was first released in Japan on April 21, 1989. It was released in North America on July 31, 1989. Europe would not see the Game Boy arrive until September 28, 1990. Upon its release only six games were available, though a lot more would be made later as the popularity of the Game Boy increased. The original Game Boy would continue to see production until 2003, even after the release of more powerful successors, such as the Game Boy Color (1998) and Game Boy Advance (2001).

When a Smash Ball comes in, that means you'll have a chance to use your Final Smash in battle. This item also appeared in "for 3DS/Wii U" and "Ultimate".

From Quiz Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, or Pokemon?

Answer: Pokemon

TMs and HMs, abbreviations of Technical Machines and Hidden Machines, are used in the "Pokemon" universe to give your Pokemon special abilities to be used in battle. HMs, given to you under rare circumstances, also had applications outside of battle that made more sense for utility depending on the situation (like Cut, Fly, and Surf). In the original "Pokemon" game there were fifty TMs and only five HMs, but each successive game added more to the list to increase Pokemon viability.

From Quiz People's Champs

Answer: Perfect Dark

Rare, which later went to Microsoft after creating a single game for the GameCube ("Star Fox Adventures") saw major success with titles on the Nintendo 64 and none may have been as popular as "Goldeneye 007" which not only won Game of the Year from "Nintendo Power", but ended up being an easy 'Player's Choice' winner for colossal sales. Rare followed up the first-person shooter game with an original IP, "Perfect Dark", which saw the return of the Golden Gun, a powerful firearm pulled straight from "The Man with the Golden Gun", known to kill foes with one bullet. "Perfect Dark" released in 2000.

From Quiz Wii U Launch Titles

Answer: Nintendo Land

Developed by Nintendo's in-house game creators (their EAD), "Nintendo Land" was essentially the "Wii Sports" of the Wii U, enabling the player to test the first capabilities of the console's tablet controller early on. The game featured a number of unique mini-games, some of which featured familiar worlds and concepts to the Nintendo canon (eg. "Pikmin", "The Legend of Zelda", "Luigi's Mansion", etc.) while others were more traditional games. The game was one of the top-sellers in the early days of the console partly because, like with "Wii Sports", it came as part of a bundle with the Wii U itself.

From Quiz Noteworthy Games of 2011

Answer: Princess Peach & Peach

A staple in most board games that have a Mario theme in them, Princess Peach surprisingly, is a locked character that can be unlocked by beating the Peach's Castle Board in second place or higher in Tour mode. "Fortune Street" is not your usual everyone plays mini-games between turns board game. Many people have said that "Fortune Street" combines the "Mario Party" franchise with Monopoly. However, Mario characters are not the only playable characters as the very famous "Dragon Quest" franchise characters are also playable. Many of the boards that you play on are based off Mario and Dragon Quest locales. "Fortune Street" is a game in the series of the "Itadaki Street" franchise famous only in Japan. "Fortune Street" is the first game of the series to be released outside of Japan. The goal of this game is to amass a net profit of a set goal at the start of the game. One of the main goals of the game is to get promotions which can be obtained by collecting four emblems (diamond, club, spade, and heart) then returning to the bank. Also you will invest some of your money in businesses you can buy and the goal is to get a monopoly to increase your net worth. Once you reach the target goal of your net worth you need to rush back to the bank to win the game. In addition to these concepts you also can invest in stocks which can help you out and there are empty lots where you can build businesses such as tax offices. You can also buy out your opponent's businesses if you have the right amount of money. You can play with friends over the Wi-fi connection too. Unlockable characters from the "Dragon Quest" franchise are Jessica, Dragonlord, and Patty. Sadly though, "Fortune Street" does have two major flaws. The first one being is that in single-player Tour Mode you can only play as your Mii. If you've been waiting forever to play as Bowser in a board game you'll have to play multiplayer. Also these games, do take quite a long time, usually a few hours, and if you're playing with friends you'll have to play through the whole thing as there's no save function in multiplayer but there's one in single-player mode...strange.

From Quiz Noteworthy Games of 2010

Answer: Meta Melon Isle & MetaMelon Isle

The little pink puffball from Pop Star, kind of strayed from the norm of the majority of his games. In this game, the main villain Yin-Yarn, sucks Kirby into a magical sock and transports him to Patch Land which causes Kirby to be made out of yarn. Because Kirby is made out of yarn he can't inhale baddies as air just goes right through him. While Kirby cannot copy enemies' abilities anymore, Kirby can use a piece of string as a lasso and either unravel enemies or hold them as a means of attack. "Kirby's Epic Yarn" was really praised for its unique style of graphics but was criticized due to its easiness. Kirby games are known for being easy but you can't even die in this game. If you get hit by an enemy or fall down a cliff you just end up losing beads, which depending on how many you get at the end of the level determines what medal you get on it. The highest honor you can get is a Gold Medal and the lowest is a wood medal. If you get a high enough bead score against a boss you can also get a patch which will open up extra levels. These bonus levels include Meta Melon Isle in Dream Land. In addition to collecting beads, there are three treasures in each level. Two of these treasures are furniture items in which you can decorate your apartment or get more tenants into the apartment complex. The other treasure is a CD which will often play the music of the level you're in. A new character introduced was Prince Fluff which is the prince of Patch Land and will also be controlled by the second player if you play co-op mode. Other classic "Kirby" franchise characters such as Meta-Knight and King Dedede are also turned into yarn forms and serve as bosses before taking on Yin-Yarn in the final battle.

From Quiz Noteworthy Games of 2009

Answer: yellow

"DJ Hero," much like its predecessor the "Guitar Hero" series, was also available on XBox 360 and Playstation 3 game consoles. Also the game was released with a new peripheral in the shape of a DJ Deck. The game still followed pressing colored buttons when they came down the track, but also there was a slide used for crossfading, an effect dial for distorting sound or cycling through tracks, and a button used for releasing Euphoria which is the "DJ Hero" version of Star Power. Also to boost your score, if accumulating a long enough streak you can rewind the track. Many of the songs you will play in this game are mixes of two songs such as "Feel Good Inc." by the Gorillaz being mixed with "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani. Much like "Guitar Hero" the game has a varied soundtrack by going back to older songs such as "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye. Unlike "Guitar Hero" the new peripheral only has three buttons, green, red, and blue, and the record surface that these buttons are located on can be moved back and forth for scratching and twist a full revolution for rewinds. Also the game sponsors multiplayer either with two turntable peripherals or a turntable peripheral and a guitar controller, but only for certain songs.
