Since this doesn't HAVE to be done on the SNES Classic, can people be recognized for both International and Japanese game achievements? I specifically have the Earthbound/Fire Emblem 3 segment in mind, I enjoy both games and would love to be able to try to complete whatever challenges you have in store for both.

From the OP:
Rest assured I will be doing alternate challenges for anyone who wants to do the SFC games.

Right, I'm asking if we will be able to get credit for doing BOTH challenges (IE both the Super Punch-Out AND Super Soccer challenges in the case of the next event).From the OP:

Trying to level up my Super Punch Out game (from zero).
I am terrible at this game.
On reflection I was pretty bad at Punch Out on the NES back in the day.

I was doing the same last night. I have never played any Punch-Out game, and only had a very vague idea of what happens in the game. I was able to get through the old guy and the bear hugger, but Piston is tripping me up. I can get a few hits on him, but then he does his special (I guess it's his special?) and does a flurry of punches until I get knocked out. This is gonna take me a while to get the hang of!!

Also, your passport will be PM'd to you. The bot scans the thread every few minutes, so it may take a bit.
In the same boat. I've been getting better very slowly, haha. Trying not to look up tips.

Yep -- I haven't figured out what will happen if you end up with more than 63/63 challenges yet, but for now you'll be able to submit both.
Same. Piston took me a while but then I realized you could parry his punches (well besides his uppercut). Last fight of minor circuit still gives me trouble. I'm so bad at this game.

This took me about 45 minutes to get the orb, over the course of two sessions. The 2nd session was more fruitful, after I saw a video that pulled off the glitch in a way I was able to slightly easier replicate than the notable one in the OP (it's in the same location, I just used a slightly different Mario and Rex placement to grab the coin). Used the orb in Stage 2-2, and I played through to the star road in Vanilla Dome and shortcutted to the Front Gate from there.
I'm not really into glitching games out over normal play, but that was surprisingly fun to pull off and goof around with.

Every time these go back in stock I end up doing a dance on whether or not I should take the plunge - It's £80, they look fucking awesome, would be fun to have at the holidays with friends around, but I don't know if I'm actually going to have time or want to sit down and beat a 20+ year old game, regardless if it's something as simple as mario world or not. I bought a Pi 2 years back, loaded it with roms, played super punch out for about half an hour and never touched it again. Plus the missus is probably not going to want this sitting out on our fairly nice, all black TV Unit.
For those of you who were initially dubious and purchased one, are you enjoying it? Have you got more than a day/week's worth out of it before putting it down indefinitely?

I feel like the Pi 2 story is telling for you. Unless you think playing the games on an official Nintendo unit will inspire more play, it may not be the device for you once the post-buy high and nostalgia wear off. Were you someone who bought some VC games on the Wii/WiiU/3DS at some point?
The holiday factor could make it worth it, if you think it'd actually get enough use.
I'm slightly hopeful that me putting down money on an official nintendo product would give me more of incline to play some. I bought some of the very few super nintendo games that came out on Wii U and managed to beat Super Mario World and got fairly into link to the past, but I mostly think this was because the Wii U was portable, and games as old as they were seemed more fitting to play on a tablet like thing in my downtime rather than turning the lights off and sitting down at the couch to play them for an evening.
I dunno, I'll just keep dancing around the "confirm order" button forever more.

Seems pretty clear you've diminished the value of these games for the strange crime of being old so sounds like you are better off not trying to convince yourself to play them via a guilt trip of hanging money over them. Play them because you want to play them and you find value in that experience. Skip them and go do something that makes you feel like you are using your time more effectively.
not trying to diminish the value at all, I just feel that because they're older i'm less likely to get a totally enthralling experience after being wasted on more modern games, they're still important and fun games however, nothing takes that away.
It's weird, but the fact that this is original hardware with the real controllers, and that we have a structured club is making me sit down and play. I know the appeal of playing SNES games on a tablet or turboing through RPG battles on an emulator, but sitting down and enjoying it in its intended format is making me appreciate it a lot more.
I've gone ahead and started on FF VI, since it will be a long one. Played for 3 hours straight yesterday. Normally I would just play in an emulator with turbo mode but I'm taking my time and playing as intended. It was just really nostalgic and relaxing for me.
And while not all of these games stand up to the test of time, a lot of them do. Just replaying through all of SMW again made me realize how good of a platformer it still is today. Yoshi's Island will be great as well. And FF VI is just sucking me away...there's truly no RPG like it anymore.
Speed up mode I find just makes me rush instead of immersing myself in it and enjoying myself. Takes away from the nice pace and just playing the game.
I played Mario World plenty of times before, but finally this thread gave me the nudge to do what I've never done before and in process made me reevaluate my opinion of Mario World quite a bit. Special Zone is indeed quite special and has some very fun ideas in it.
Finished 96-exit run
After which I quickly managed to pull off the orb glitch
Which I used for an 11-exit run
#luigi #goomba
I think I'll practice Super Punch-Out now. I had never played that one before, so it will be neat to at least get some practice before the goals are announced.

I got the Playing With Power book about the SNES Classic by PRIMA today. It even covers the SMW Orb glitch
I highly recommend it, btw. I think it's easy to mistake it for a guide when it's actually a cool facts/history book for all the Nintendo games in this thing (no third party games covered). Lots of cool stuff in there (incl art!).

Doing the 96 exit challenge made me realize just how good super Mario world is. Before I would just play through to Bowser and have a good time, but actually learning the ins and outs and learning what Mario is capable of has really elevated my opinion of this game.
I'm curious to see if any of the other challenges will do the same for me. F-Zero is the other game I can think of that I'm really lukewarm on, so that's the likely candidate.

...now on to the special levels to get the 96 exits!

That's probably because there's no secret exit. ;P

I've scoured vanilla ghost house like 5 times, even flying all the way back with the switch. I can't find any secret.

Finally finished it. Hope to get 96 exits before the 15th, but I wanted to at least beat. Forgot how much I love this game. Remember playing it when I first got my SNES and just being blown away at how massive it felt at the time.

Started my playthrough today.
Made it to Bowers Castle with 86 exits...until I accidentally opened up a save state I made earlier, and erased most of my progress. Now I'm back down to 16.
Edit: Stuck trying to figure out where the secret exit is in Cheese Bridge Area. Played through it about 4 times, and I'm not sure where to look.

That happened to me. Didn't lose quite as much progress though, ouch.
I'm real careful about messing with save states now. Shame it doesn't keep a backup of your previously saved game. Whenever you load a state it permanently overwrites the actual game save.
I forgot how obnoxious the game gets once you're in the late Forest of Illusion stages and later. I'm not even having much fun anymore. We were both getting irritable at having to play tiny Mario / Luigi in massive levels with maybe one or two items if you're lucky, or no checkpoint for days, and all sorts of spam, scrolling platforms, and the like, or else backtrack worlds behind to find an easy item.

The beginning of the forest has items. Just hit start then select to leave when you're good...
Worlds back....cmon.
Worlds back....cmon.
I didn't notice the beginning of the forest having item(s), I'll have to check that. We normally go all the way back to the top secret area. Maybe there are some vanilla areas with items that you can quit with at the beginning, also.

Definitely a good tip for this game. The orb glitch challenge would have been WAY worse without it.

Water level has a cape right at the start.
Anyways, got a head start on FF VI. Decided to start playing this weekend and time flew by. Already at the halfway point (

WoR ends up being a decent amount longer than WoB. I think a pretty fast run of FF6 (not speedrun, mind you, but a fast one) that gets all the characters ends up being 20-25 hours
The Special worlds are really leaving a sour taste in my mouth, they're too frustrating - I ended up having fun drifting in Tubular, but trying to beat Way Cool and Awesome without flying over the level has just been infuriating! Guess I'm not a "Super Player".
Edit: huh, and then the two levels after Awesome are quite easy.
Edit: huh, and then the two levels after Awesome are quite easy.
Yeah I guess so, especially when leveling becomes a concern.
I might push to WoR today to get a sense of it. Now...do I want 3 characters or 4? Not sure if leveling will be more or less of a pain without Sabin.

You can use a Yoshi? Huh. I remembered just using a cape and timing your dive right from playing as a kid, so that's how I did it here too. Took me 10-15 tries or so. Such an obnoxious secret to get, but it's made up for by being not terribly far from the mid-point and having basically no obstacles between you and the gate (yes, there are the saws, but you're flying above them). It's just nailing that timing or being Johnny-on-the-spot with the Start+Select so you don't accidentally trip the first gate. Tubular is worse, even cheesing it with Blue Yoshi.

Id never actually played through this entirely myself so it was awesome to give it a shot. I may try for orb glitch too (thatd be cool to show off to friends). Im more familiar with the series after the Galaxy games but this is still a pretty fun game. The levels themselves werent always the most impressive but something about the world map still feels cool, it might just be my nostalgia though.
EDIT: Managed to pull off the orb glitch.

The secret to tubular is that there's a third P balloon late in the level which makes it a lot easier. I don't know if that is common knowledge but I did not know about it when I was younger and it took me a looong time passing it with just the two balloons.
On a side note I absolutely love this game and am breezing through it since I started today. Hope to get my stamps some time tomorrow.

I'm amazed that you actually did this with two back in the day. I think most people do this with all 3.

Finished the game just now...with 93 exits. Thought I found all of them, guess not.
This was surprisingly shorter than I thought it was going to be (7 hours total). Thought the levels were pleasant overall, except for Outrageous and most of the Special Zone stages without power-ups, and Cheese Bridge Area due to that secret exit (just sacrifice a Yoshi, using the cape to get to it is much harder). Still, had fun playing through it.
#morton

And all exits found.

Don't think I got my #goomba from my last post edit.
Is there a listing of the schedule for the rest of the year? I don't see anything linked in the OP but I remember some talk about what would be coming up. I'll probably need to get ahead on certain games.

Believe me, when I think about it now, I laugh at myself. Using a cape to float the last few frames of the level after the P balloon finishes. Gave me nightmares for a while!!!
