Wow, I haven't done one of these games in a long time. I guess I feel like doing one now.

But here are the rules for the people who have not played this game before: I'm going to ask a question like this -- Number of worlds in SMB1 plus the number of worlds in SMB2 -- you would say 15 because there were 8 worlds in SMB1 and 7 worlds in SMB2. The first person to 100 points is the winner. Each question is worth 2 points. After every 10th question, there will be bonus 5-point question. Look out for that one. Okay here is the first problem:

PROBLEM #1: Max number of Frog Coins you can have in SMRPG plus the number of red coins required to receive a star in SM64.

Kefka, you're pretty close, but you have one too many digits in your answer. It looks like you have the second part of the question right, but not the first part.

Wait a second...

Final Fantasy 9, I can see.

But I'm sure you get 200 seconds...

My answer is 1800.

Nope, neither one of those answers are correct. However, wolfman2000, one of your numbers in your calculation is correct.

Final Fantasy 3: 3 x 200= 600

Or if you're in Japan: FF 6: 6 x 200= 1200

As a side note, Gogo was also in Final Fantasy V, as well as... the one you're most likely talking about here.

1,200 would be the correct answer, Edsgravy0, since I was looking for the Japanese version number.

Current Score After 4 Questions
Zem -- 4 points
Mighty Kefka & Edsgravy0 -- 2 Points


PROBLEM #5
The number of Legaia games released (in the US) times the number of ALL Pokemon in the Red/Blue versions.

Well, this could be a trick question... but here are my two possible answers:

1. 300... there have been 2 Legaia games in the U.S., and in Red and Blue Pokemon, there were 150 possible slots in the Pokedex

2. 600... 2 Legaia games x the possible 150 in each...

I'll go with the first

But there is Mew isn't there? So that would be 302...but I don't remember if Mew counts or not...

You could be right Kefka

Notice that I did say ALL of the Pokemon from both versions. As far as acquiring Mew, I am 99.9% sure that you don't need a cheating device to acquire it. So, in light of this, Boomer has the correct answer for this problem.

Current Score After 5 Questions
Zem -- 4 points
Mighty Kefka, Boomer & Edsgravy0 -- 2 Points


PROBLEM #6
The total value of 16 blue coins, 10 red coins, and 53 yellow coins -- considering the value of each in SM64.

(16 x 5) + (10 x 2) + (53 x 1) = 80 + 20 + 53 = 153 coins
