You got that right. :D

It crashed after I filled out a post game review for Super Mario 3 but I got the 10 coins.

If you don't get an email with your code in it you'll probably have to choose again or complain to the powers that be. DKCR is great. I like the 3DS version better than the Wii one.

I started out without any add-ons but quickly came to realize that the game becomes a lot more grindy that way. I had 6 bucks left over in my wallet so I grabbed some pearls.

Levelling up in Rainbow Moon increases your stat bars but you require a certain number of rainbow pearls to max out each attribute (HP, MP, Strength, Defense etc.)

Rainbow Pearls are granted by defeating enemies but only granted to the one who delivers the finishing blow. You cannot share them amongst your team so if one of them kills the majority of the monsters they get the majority of the pearls for their use only.

Rainbow coins are what you pay for stuff with (duh). they are dropped by enemies and found in bags and chests that just happen to be lying around the landscape

You can also get them for selling materials and surplus equipment. If you buy coins as an add-on it makes buying new weapons, armour and items quite a bit easier. I'm currently playing with just the coins I gather so I have to pick and choose what I buy.

Looks like Minis on the Move is my only choice. It would have been Earthbound but since I don't have a Wii U that would be really stupid (but not unheard of in my case)

I have the two PS3 games but have only played the first one. I liked it but never finished it.

*groan* :)

Maybe I'll get that one after another coffee. :P

Oh I think I'll finish this one too. Like BD it could be just a phase. I'm really happy I finished BD now. The ending was well worth the journey. I did skip all the optional boss battles though.

My son was giving me shit for that on the weekend.  He's playing it now and every time he mentions some chapter 7 battle I say "didn't do that one." :)

I hope everything turns out for the better. I'll be sending positive thoughts.

That would be cool. Also teaching kids about nature is cool. :)
