Slota was right. Then again he knew this was the game. (Way to spoil a party.) Many of my friends know I think this game is awesome and easily worth the $8 it costs on the Virtual Console. Before the game is relaunches (It hasn't launched yet.) I'll post a few transcripts I found on my computer. We start out at the beginning of the game. No spoilers here so I won't use spoiler tags. In future entries later this week I will. I don't want anyone to have such an awesome game spoiled.

In the way of guides, I'll post short boss strategies and how to get all the treasure in the game. If nothing else look at how to get the treasure, there are a few chests that you only have one chance to get.

Also, I won't use color tags for the guides and other stuff.

For now just enjoy the first fight in the game... well a transcription of it.

~The Bowser Fight~

PRELUDE: Toadstool prances off to visit Mario for the afternoon, but he's taking a nap or something, so she just sits in his garden and harmonizes with the flowers and butterflies. Bowser swoops down in his Klown Kopter and disappears into the bowels of his Keep.....and Mario wakes up at this convenient moment to go rescue her....so he slams his way through Bowser's troopas, who just pace the hallways.

(Mario walks into the the throne room, all ready to fight. But he doesn't see anyone...)

(Oh my! There's Toadstool up there! So he jumps onto the chandelier and...)

TOADSTOOL: Don't let Bowser bruise you, Mario!

BOWSER: Mario! Prepare yourself for the great beyond!

(Mario and Bowser beat each other up a bit)

TOADSTOOL: Mario! The chain! Aim for the chain!

(Mario doesn't catch on and continues trying vainly to harm Bowser.)

BOWSER: What a joke!! Put some muscle into it!

(After more timely advice from Toadstool, Mario begins trying to weaken the chain that supports Bowser's chandelier.)

(*LOUD NOISE*)

BOWSER: What was that sound? (sees chain) N...n...NO!!! It's a chain reaction! Hang on, Kinklink!! Eyaaaaa!!

(down he falls)

(Mario makes peace/victory sign.)

BOWSER: Coming, Mario?

(One mallet of Bowser's up and Mario slips off chandelier, holding on with white knuckles....)

TOADSTOOL: Fight, Mario! FIGHT!!!

(Mario clambers back on and makes another victory sign)

BOWSER: This should FINISH you!

(Another mallet and Mario joins Bowser in his falling...)

BOWSER: Mwa ha! Did you think I was just gonna GIVE her to ya? You're ALWAYS in my way! This is IT! I'm gonna take you out, Mario!

(Bowser swipes but Mario manages to escape within an inch of his life...)

BOWSER: Fungah! Foiled again!

(and down Bowser goes...)

(Mario jumps extremely high and catches what's left of the chain.)

TOADSTOOL: Oh, Mario! You had me so worried! Let's get out of here!

(Keep shakes violently!!)

TOADSTOOL: Shriek!! Mario! I'm going to fall!

(A giant sword (Exor) falls from the sky crashing into the keep sending, Mario, Princess Peach Toadstool, and Bowser flying off into different directions.)

More to come. Next one is the first Croco fight.
