I KNEW someone would put Angel's answer... as for Kirby... that's not right.

Look at the clue I gave and then rethink it a little... there's another game that works better.

EDIT: although it could be very controversial... as of right now, I think I may give credit (1 pt.) for DKC2: Diddy's Kong Quest... but if someone gets the other one, they definitely get a point as well.

I'll try to make sense out of the controversial analogy.

Mario is a main character; his brother got to star in a game that:

is on a recent system
Mario appears at the end
is somewhat decent and different from the norm

Here, we got Donkey Kong. I don't know about brothers...but I know of a side kick of his that has appeared somewhat recently, and the game is decent and different. Appearing at the end...okay, maybe not.


My point is.....I'll try DIDDY KONG RACING.

You got the game I was thinking of wolfman. My thinking was that Mario wasn't in Luigi's Mansion at all though So... I was wrong there. But since he was, Diddy's Kong Quest would work too... therefore, I must give a point to wolfman AND Angel. Good work guys.

I can't believe no one's even tried 35, and that no one's gotten 37. So, this is the last call on those two so that you can slap yourselves in the head when I give the answer in the next post.

As I've mentioned before, I haven't really played too much of Sword of Mana. However, I've played Final Fantasy VI too many times to count, and I can sort of see some semblance of a hint in the context of the question, so I'll make a guess.

Yep. Amanda is the hero's (you get to name him) long lost love, and she dies in the middle of the game... and Rachel is Locke's long lost love (because she had a memory loss) and then she died too. And way to go Felix, you ruined the chance to get points on 35 and 37! You shoulda guessed at those, because it was the last call.

Now, 35 was Cackletta: Fawful:: Arek the Absolute: Daos

The reason: Fawful is Cackletta's right hand man. Daos is Arek's right hand man, because Arek rules the Sinistrals, and Daos is the leader of the Sinistrals.

37 is Super Mario Bros: Mushroom Kingdom:: Asheron's Call: Dereth

The game "Super Mario Bros" takes place in the Mushroom Kingdom. Asheron's Call takes place in Dereth. Simple

I didn't think there was a chance in hell that I knew the answer to 35, but... damn.

Yep, very Japanese, and very right. Seiken Densetsu or Final Fantasy Adventure would have worked there, but NOT Sword of Mana, because that's just a remake. We're going by release dates, not where the plot is. (the other two games mentioned there don't even HAVE plots)

You both got your respective questions right... now for 45... I can't believe no one's even PLAYED these rom hacks, not to mention tried to make one. If you played those hacks, you'd know what the analogy is.

45. increased character/weapon/magic/item name lengths, some graphics changes (copied-and-pasted-from-other-FF-games battle backgrounds, a BG battle window that's extended so the characters and enemies are in the same window, etc), and just general improvements/enhancements.

48. venturing a guess here... Golden Sword? (the most-spiffitated version of the master sword)

OK, I said a few answers would work for 45, but you practically gave ALL of them, so I'll just give you 2 points instead of 1, my friend! And for 48... too inside the box. There's something else besides the strength of the sword I'm looking for in the analogy
