Hoo boy! I'm ready to rumble! Get ready @SonicZetrex! I'm giving it my all!
Also, what was question 10 asking for? It wasn't exactly clear...

**Chuck Quizmo** · 03-27-2018, 10:08 PM

To be honest, I don't know.

**OssieTheOstrich** · 03-28-2018, 02:22 AM

Even though I created the hardest question of all, the question is mainly about of which games that have characters are mostly connected to "their own series". And during the comparison, I only believe that Wii may be a possibility of an answer. Especially for Double Dash, which also contained some characters within in that roster. And yes, it took me a long time to wonder about this, and I'm glad I didn't change my answer to Mario Kart 8.

@GamerInGeorgia: Well, in that case, I'll give it my all, too! Wish each other luck on this!

**VinnyVideo** · 03-28-2018, 08:39 AM

I was unsure about #10 as well. I chose A because the newer Mario Karts include characters like the Miis (and Link, although he's DLC as I recall) and an increased number of baby characters, who aren't as relevant to the Mario series.

Course clear! You got a card.

The reason you got a zero because you didn't answer the questions.

**SonicZetrex** · (This post was last modified: 04-01-2018, 08:23 PM by SonicZetrex.)

Oh, that? That's on purpose to prevent any one from googling this easily. :3

I'll explain some of the question in "private".
*But if you want it in public, let me know.

**GamerInGeorgia** · 04-02-2018, 10:25 AM

@SonicZetrex - I understand that you want to make the questions hard to Google, but could you at least use proper grammar?

SonicZetrex Wrote:Which of the games represent Luigi in an earlier clone during 1900s?

I can't infer what the question is asking. "Which game represents Luigi as a clone during the 1900s?" Is that what you're asking? If so, then a clone of what, or who? I can't answer questions without knowing what they're asking for.

Congratulations, @GamerInGeorgia! Man, and I thought there's something fishy on Question 2 and Question 3. How?

**VinnyVideo** · 04-05-2018, 08:40 AM

This was a fun event, although some of the questions were confusingly-worded (like "mostly have a quality of a bad deed").

What were the games where Mario got kidnapped?

Course clear! You got a card.

**GamerInGeorgia** · 04-05-2018, 09:46 AM

@SonicZetrex - Thanks! You did well too! Here's how questions #2 and #3 make sense:
For question #2, the one about Yoshi, in the Super Mario Galaxy series, it is true that Yoshi is a major feature in Super Mario Galaxy 2, but Yoshi appears, in planet form, in Super Mario Galaxy as well. He appears in Space Junk Galaxy in the secret mission "Yoshi's Unexpected Appearance," a surprise for me when I played the game.
For #3 (this is for you as well @VinnyVideo), here are the 4 games where Mairo is kidnapped in chronological order: Mario Is Missing, Luigi's Mansion, Super Princess Peach, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.
