I have never played that minigame in SMRPG. Also, the prize you get for beating this guy sucks. I know how that one is done.

Try doing it in real life tho. It is a bit trickier.

That game was easy, once I decided to go first. The prize is lame, though.

I always found the Dr. Topper game hard, because I always forgot the number of coins in the chest and had to guess randomly. I thought the most you could take was 5, though.

I haven't played SMRPG for almost a year so I don't remember the strategy I used to beat Dr. Topper at his own game.

I won. Basically, you want it to be your opponent's turn when there are 5 gemstones left. If it's his turn, then there is no way he can win if you're playing your best. Now about getting down to that....

Edit: If it's your turn and you have 9 left, you also lose.

Edit 2: Ah, I figured it out now. It's actually quite simple, you want to avoid having it be a "losing" number when it's your turn. The losing numbers start at 5 and increment by 4 each time. That is why you want to go first, because you want to get your opponent with the losing numbers from the start otherwise you can't get out of him doing that to you.

Yea, actually, your opponent is dead not at 5, but at 13. So if you get them at 13, then you've won if you keep doing 3. However, I'm not gonna bother putting a spoiler tag on this, cause I'm sure everyone has read the other ones already.

There IS a way I have found to winning when taking a second turn... Play with that for a while, eh?

I bet people actually believe this and will try it now xD

You can't win when you pick the second turn: not if your opponent is playing his best. I think that the computer you go against does play its best.

That's why I added the "I bet people will actually believe this" part...

I know it isn't possible.

And actually, the game's over when you take the first turn. Or it should be.

This game is in Tales of Phantasia too. (The PSX version, at least.)

IIRC you don't get much for winning, but it's one of those things that you figure out backwards when you're about to lose the first time. Then you playa gain and do it right.

In ToD (Tales of Eternia in Jap) the price was a miracle gel if i'm not wrong. In the context of the game it was better than the prize offered in the site. Not to mention that there's no security in the site. You could directly access to the prize page

Think fast! Should you go first or second when the game starts out with 25 gems (but otherwise the rules are the same)?

I've seen roughly one million versions of this game, and I hate each one of them. HATE THEM!!!
