I'll vote for Super Mario Odyssey.  It's not my favorite 3-D Mario game, but it's still pretty good.  And it got a cereal that you can scan as an amiibo, how cool is that?  Sorry Chrono Cross, you didn't get a cereal.

Speaking of cereal, I have a lot of fond memories of Chex Quest because I reviewed it for The Dallas Morning News back in the day as a joke and didn't expect them to publish it.  But they did anyway and I got a lot of positive feedback for it.  But even so, Tetris still wins.  It's one of my top three favorite puzzle games alongside Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo and Puzzle Bobble.  Speaking of which, I'd better fire up the Switch this weekend and play Tetris 99 a bunch so I can get that Kirby and the Forgotten Land skin!

Don't forget to listen to my podcast, too, when you get a chance!

No I can't really remember.  Sorry.  Like the bombs, I know you have to have a captured ship to make it work.  I just don't remember what buttons to press.

Twilight Princess was WAY better on Wii U than it was on the Wii.

I love G-Darius.  I have it on PSOne and played it a lot with my brother Jeff back then.  You can use the enemies you capture as screen clearing bombs.  I forget what button you push for that, though.

The original Shinobi kind of reminds me of Rolling Thunder with ninjas.  But I think Shinobi came first, so who copied who?  Namco or SEGA?  Actually they both copied each other on a lot of things. 

This is my 2nd favorite Zelda game.  The only one that beats it is Link's Awakening.

I loved the TV show as a kid, but I never played the NES game or really even heard of it much.

As a kid we all rode Big Wheels and I was jealous of the neighbor kid who had a Knight Rider Big Wheel that had a lever that let you do a spin brake!  But I was still pretty happy with my Dukes of Hazzard Big Wheel (man I'm aging myself).

Many years later, I got to review the Knight Rider LEGO Dimension set!  That was neat.

I remember the McDonald's Mac Tonight Moon Man!  In fact, when I was a kid, one year I wanted to be that for Halloween.  But the costume would've been too hard to make, so I went with a California Raisin instead since all that took was a garbage bag.  See that's how much of a hold advertising mascot characters had on us 80s kids.  I think I'm about as old as you guys are, maybe a little older.

Speaking of California Raisins, the same ad agency who made them also did The Noid.  They are still around today, but under a different name.  You know what they do now?  The modern day M&M's characters!

You know, I was in college in Austin from 1995 to 1999 and I remember going to Gamefellas stores in shopping malls all the time back then.  So if you were there during that time, we might've talked to each other and not even known it!  I also was writing for The Dallas Morning News back then, and for my reviews I needed release dates.  Since the Internet was still in its infancy, sometimes I would call stores to get release dates so you might've helped a beginner gaming journalist!  So thanks!  I also called EB Games for the same reason, but my roommate would always tease me that I just called and visited that store because I had a crush on the lady who worked there.  I denied that, but for some reason I still remember her name (Tess), so maybe I did.

I reviewed Chrono Cross for the newspaper back then.  I think it should've been it's own game rather than a Chrono Trigger sequel.  It felt like a cleverly disguised card game.  I Am Setsune feels more like a Chrono Trigger sequel than that.  Only thing that interests me about the Chrono Cross remaster is the included Radical Dreamers game.  I wish I could just buy that seperately, though.

Right now I'm playing the opposite of Elden Ring, which is Kirby and the Forgotten Land!

Tetris wins the cage match for no reason other than I said so.  I reviewed Chex Quest for the newspaper back then, too.  Would Mario Golf beat it?  Well it depends on which one.  If it's Toadstool Tour on the GameCube, then yeah.  

I hope you folks get a chance to listen to my podcast, too!  Just do a search for Pizza Pixel Podcast and you'll find it.  We just recorded another episode and I hope my brother Jeff gets to edit and post it soon.  At least before Mother's Day.  Our topic for this one is games our parents liked to play, and we even have our mom on the show as a guest!  So please pray for us that it gets posted soon!  --Cary

I don't think the game is like Mario Galaxy, but it is a pretty straightforward Kirby game.  Just in 3-D this time.

Yeah believe it or not, whether it be the games or other products, I like the ghost monsters just as much, if not more than, Pac-Man himself!
