Game progress

[nocturnal YL]

Another info dump. Maybe I should find a platform for online document sharing instead.

Here is the progress I have for the games I own.

- Only games released on GameCube or later count, because that was when I stopped using emulators and unauthorized devices.
- The 100% completion definitions are my own. Different completionists may think otherwise.

Game	Completion Criteria	Progress
Super Smash Bros. Melee	- ✔ Basic completion: unlock all fighters and stages, finish all Event Matches - Get 291 trophies	That would mean completing All-Star in Very Hard. Not going to do that.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl	- ✔ Basic completion: unlock all fighters and stages, finish all Event Matches - Complete 128 Challenges	Some of the Challenges are things I was never inclined to do to start with, so no.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U	- ✔ Basic completion: unlock all fighters and stages, finish all Event Matches - Complete 140 Challenges	I'm at 130. Some of them are either too difficult or take forever to finish. Get all custom moves? Destroy 50000 blocks in Trophy Rush? That's going to take a while.
Luigi's Mansion	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ Finish Hidden Mansion at Rank A - Find all gold mice	I did get Rank A, but gold mice... nope. Only got 2 in my 2nd run.
Luigi's Mansion 2	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - Get 3 stars in all missions	...I hate bosses.
Super Mario Sunshine	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - Get 120 Shine Sprites	I have 104. I think. The game's UI doesn't track individual blue coins, so I'm not inclined to get them, either.
✔ Super Mario Galaxy	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ Get 121 Stars for both Mario and Luigi	Done.
✔ Super Mario Galaxy 2	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ Get 242 Stars	Done. With no death count either. I reset whenever I lose.
✔ Super Mario 3D Land	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ Get 5 stars on the save file	I have 5 shiny stars!
Super Mario 3D World	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - Get 5 stars on the save file	I stopped right before the final level. And I can't finish Broken Blue Bully Belt with anyone other than Tanooki Peach.
✔ New Super Mario Bros.	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ Spend all Star coins	Yep!
✔ New Super Mario Bros. Wii	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ Get 5 stars on the save file	Yep! Sparkling stars!
New Super Mario Bros. U	- Basic completion: reach the ending once - Get 5 stars on the save file - Complete Challenges	No, for some reason I didn't get myself to finish this game. And I probably won't bother with the challenges anyway
Super Mario Maker	- ✔ Basic completion: complete 10-Mario Challenge - Will eventually become unfinishable after Wii U's online service ends	I hate the costume unlock process. I gave up. Super Mario Maker didn't hold my attention for too long anyway.
Mario Kart Double Dash!!	- ✔ Basic completion: finish all cups in Grand Prix - Get all staff ghosts	I think I have Luigi's Circuit done right below 1'29", and there's another track too. But that's it.
Mario Kart DS	- ✔ Basic completion: finish all cups in Grand Prix - ✔ Finish all cups with 3 stars - Defeat all staff ghosts - Complete Mission 7	I can't even unlock Mission 7 to begin with. I did get 3 stars in all cups, though.
Mario Kart Wii	- ✔ Basic completion: finish all cups in Grand Prix - Finish all cups with 3 stars - Unlock all expert staff ghosts and unlock Mii outfit B	I don't think I have satisfied either.
Mario Kart 7	- ✔ Basic completion: finish all cups in Grand Prix - ✔ Finish all cups with 3 stars - Unlock all vehicle parts	I don't play online, so no for the vehicle parts.
Mario Kart 8	- ✔ Basic completion: finish all cups in Grand Prix - Finish all cups with 3 stars - Unlock all vehicle parts	10000 coins for the Gold Glider? Forget about it.
Mario Party 4	- ✔ Basic completion: finish story mode - ✔ Unlock all minigames - Finish Beach Volley Folley	The volleyball game proved too difficult for me.
Mario Party 6	- ✔ Basic completion: finish story mode - ✔ Unlock all minigames - Buy everything	I bought only the secret characters and stopped there. Never got enough stars in the Star Bank.
Mario Party 7	- ✔ Basic completion: finish story mode - ✔ Unlock all minigames - Buy everything	I never got enough mileage points to buy everything. Stopped pretty early.
Mario Party 9	- ✔ Basic completion: finish solo mode - ✔ Unlock all boss battles - Buy everything	Same deal. Never had enough Party Points to buy everything.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-year Door	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - Complete Pit of 100 Trials - Get all shards - Get one of all badges - Complete all recipes	As if I'm going to try all recipe combinations. I also didn't finish Pit of 100 Trials.
Super Paper Mario	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ Complete Flipside Pit of 100 Trials - Complete Flopside Pit of 100 Trials...twice - Complete the Duel of 100 - Complete all recipes - Get 128 Catch Cards	Never bothered. I did finish Flipside's Pit of 100 Trials, though.
Paper Mario: Color Splash	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ Complete all Super Flags - ✔ Complete the museum - Perfect both Violet Passage minigames	I didn't do the minigames. Those are tedious and boring. My game is otherwise complete.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - Complete the Gauntlet - ✔ Get all beans - ✔ Get all puzzle pieces	Didn't complete the Gauntlet.
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - Complete the Battle Ring - ✔ Get all beans	Didn't complete the Battle Ring.
Mario Power Tennis (Nintendo GameCube)	- ✔ Basic completion: finish Exhibition once - Get the star versions of all characters - Finish all minigames	Artist On the Court is next to impossible. And getting the star characters is such a grind that I don't care.
Super Mario Strikers	- Get all trophies	I don't care. I bought this game for some over-the-top ball game, andI don't care about actually completing it.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the first ending - Finish all levels without taking damage	Almost! I didn't finish the extra boss battle without taking damage.
Donkey Kong Country Returns	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - All shiny gold medals in time trial - All puzzle pieces - All KONG - Mirror mode complete	I'm nowhere close to any of these goals.
✔ Yoshi's Touch & Go	- ✔ Basic completion: play each mode once - ✔ Beat the default high scores in all 4 modes	Nailed it! It was quite difficult.
Yoshi's Island DS	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - Get 100 points in all levels	No. Didn't even finish all secret levels.
Wario World	- Basic completion: reach the ending once - I don't even know what constitutes 100% completion	Got it in a bargain bin for the price of a single lunch. No, I don't actually care about this game.
✔ WarioWare: Smooth Moves	- ✔ Basic completion: unlock Staff Credits - ✔ Finish all games in the Temple of Form - ✔ Complete Block Star	Yep! Block Star was quite difficult. I'd highly suggest never actually holding the Wii Remote on the palm (true for all games that use the Waiter form), since it usually means the Wii Remote is not pointed to the TV.
Star Fox Adventure	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - Don't bother; 100% is not possible because the game does not save after the final battle - And do not save during the final fight either, unless you look forward to being trapped by thepoint of no return	This game is terrible. Good graphics are the only merit.
Star Fox 64 3D	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - Get 15 medals in Nintendo 3DS Mode - Get 15 medals in Nintendo 64 Mode - Get 15 medals in Expert Mode	I'm glad I could beat the game itself in Nintendo 3DS Mode. Never bothered to actually complete the medals.
Star Fox Zero	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - Get 70 medals	I can't even unlock all stages!
Star Fox Guard	- Basic completion: reach the ending once - Complete all missions - Max out the CPM Rank	I stopped at the first boss. Not a fan of the defence genre.
Polarium	- Finish Action mode - ✔ Finish Puzzle mode	Got Puzzle done, but Action is basically impossible after level 80.
Magnetica	- Finish all Action mode levels - ✔ Finish Puzzle mode - Finish Quest mode	Almost completed Quest mode once. Almost. I'm nowhere near the end in Action mode.
✔ Kirby Air Ride	- ✔ Complete 360 items in the Checklist	Yep! Never used a single purple block, either.
✔ Kirby's Epic Yarn	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ 100% completion	This is relatively easy compared to the other Kirby games. Bead grinding is a bit repetitive.
Kirby Mass Attack	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - 100% completion	That'd include completing the boss levels without taking damage. Too difficult for me.
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - 100% completion	I'm at 99%. The mission 1%: defeat the final boss without taking damage.
✔ Kirby Super Star Ultra	- ✔ Basic completion: finish Milky Way Wishes - ✔ 100% completion - ✔ Unlock Movie 00 (complete Helper to Hero with all helpers)	Yes. Got 100% on all three save files too.
✔ Kirby's Return to Dream Land	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ 100% completion in Normal - ✔ 100% completion in Extra - ✔ Get Platinum in all challenges in Normal - ✔ Get Platinum in all challenges in Extra	Did all of those. Three times over. Even the dreaded Wing EX challenge.
Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition	- ✔ Basic completion: unlock the ending - Get the King trophy	I couldn't get Sword EX and Fighter EX platinum. As for the VC games, I got 100% in Kirby 64 but didn't play the rest.
Kirby Triple Deluxe	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ 100% completion - Get Platinum in all minigames	Got 100%, but the minigames were too difficult. I got gold, but platinum in Dedede's Drum Dash was beyond my reach.
Kirby Planet Robobot	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ 100% completion - Get Platinum in all minigames	Got 100% in the main game. Platinum in Team Clash shouldn't be too hard, now that I'm at level 10. May try that someday.
✔ Picross 3D	- ✔ Basic completion: complete 365 puzzles - ✔ Complete 365 puzzles with no misses	Some puzzles took me a few tries, and my DS's inaccurate touch screen that for some reason cannot be calibrated does not help. But it was not too difficult.
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures	- ✔ Complete Hyrulean Adventure - Complete Tetra's Trackers	Tetra's Trackers is incredibly boring in single player, so I'm only halfway done with it. And I can't get anyone to play this game with me.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ Complete Hard Mode - Upgrade all weapons	I'm one Treacherous Tower run away from getting the upgraded Bug Net. Everything is complete otherwise.
Nintendo Puzzle Collection	- ✔ Basic completion: see the grand ending - Finish V-HARD in Panel de Pon's story mode without continues - Complete Puzzle mode in Panel de Pon - Unlock Metal Mario and Vampire Wario in Dr. Mario - ✔ Complete level 21 in Dr. Mario - ✔ Complete Round 99 in Yoshi's Cookie	I did manage to do the last two, but this game overall is way too difficult.
✔ Tetris DS	- ✔ Complete Standard Marathon - ✔ Complete Standard VS CPU level 5 - ✔ Complete Mission level 5 - ✔ Complete Catch - ✔ Complete Push VS CPU level 5 - ✔ Complete Touch level 5 - ✔ Complete Touch puzzle level 50 - ✔ Complete Puzzle level 200	All done. I once tried to finish Endless Marathon by maxing out the score, but my DS card popped out when I was a week into it, playing on-and-off. Not that it matters, I already more than showed that I can handle an endless game of modern Tetris.
Wave Race: Blue Storm	- Complete all races	Too difficult. I rate it waaaay above F-Zero in terms of difficulty.
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - Beat the game at Maniac (Japan only) - Finish the game 11 times - Read all base conversations - Read all support conversations	I got stuck in Maniac. I hate you, Geoffrey. And the other two criteria are just too much of a hassle.
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - Beat the game at Maniac (Hard in non-Japanese versions) - Finish the game 6 times - Read all base conversations	Not a fan of killing units just to get base conversations. And even Hard is a bit too much for me in this game. Normal is way too easy, though.
Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - Beat the game at Reverse Lunatic - Unlock all conversations	Again, don't want to unlock conversations that require character deaths. And Reverse Lunatic? I didn't even dare to play at Maniac.
✔ Fire Emblem Awakening	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ Unlock all support conversations	I actually did bother with the supports this time. Even though this means grinding for parent-child supports and reverting to an earlier point 13 times over.
Fire Emblem Fates	- Basic completion: reach the ending in Birthright - ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending in Conquest - Basic completion: reach the ending in Revelation - Unlock all support conversations	Male and female Corrin, three story routes, and a much larger support pool. I'm actually more than halfway done, so this should eventually be 100% complete.
✔ Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ Get all trophies	Yep. Took me a long time.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption	- Basic completion: reach the ending once - Cannot be completed after the end of Nintendo WFC	This game basically confirmed that I cannot play first-person games.
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ All summons - ✔ All artefacts - All glossary entries	I missed a single glossary entry. This game's collectibles are permanently missable. Ugh. Not going to start a new playthough just to get it.
Rhythm Heaven Fever	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - All Perfect Campaigns complete	This game's very strict perfect criteria is the reason why it ended up being my least favourite music game series. I like the games' base idea, but the execution results in an unforgiving game. I have 6 out of 50 perfects done.
Bomberman Blast (Wii disc version)	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - Complete all challenges - Fully upgrade Bomberman's suit	No because the single player mode bores me.
✔ Puyo Puyo Tetris (Wii U)	- ✔ Basic completion: reach the ending once - ✔ Get all 45 trophies	The one that asks for a Club win took me long enough. And then there are tasks like clearing 100000 puyos. But I got everything iin the end!
Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX	- ✔ Basic completion: finish 47 songs - Get 115 stamps - Perfect all songs at all modes and difficulties	The StreetPass-related stamps can't be obtained because geography. There are still a few songs I can't perfect in Touch, and Button Mode is outright hopeless.

Hey Nox, long time no see =p That is one huge list. How do you find the time for all of this?

[nocturnal YL]

This isn't a list of stuff I've done recently. It's a list from all the way back since 2001. I play about 6 games per year, although recently I have a tendency to dig deep into specific games rather than trying to play everything.

I had lots of free time when I was a student, and I still have relatively plenty of time now compared to other 9-to-5 workers. A general lack of ideas* have pretty much killed off my time spent with animation software, which I guess contributes to more gaming time.

* Actually, I think the biggest factor is my utter inability to draw anything organic. My early animations were all sprite animations, and I got stuck as soon as I tried to move to hand-drawn graphics.

[nocturnal YL]

…Replying directly because I want to use the same grid format.

This time, I'm listing one favourite and least favourite parts of the games I have. I made this mostly to demonstrate that I can find defects in even my favourite games, but on the contrary I can't always find good things about my games.

I'm including games I have on GameCube or later systems, although I may add others later

Game	Favourite part	Least favourite part
Super Smash Bros. Melee	Music! The HAL Sound Team is great	Ganondorf plays like Captain Falcon
Super Smash Bros. Brawl	The fighter selection feels kind of "balanced"	Doesn't seem to "understand" certain characters (Luigi, Ike…)
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U	Having far more faithful-to-original fighters than what Brawl had	The lack of good extra game modes
Luigi's Mansion	Well, it's Luigi's own game!	The gameplay is quite monotonic
Luigi's Mansion 2	The atmosphere fits the stereoscopic 3D well	Not enough variation in music
Super Mario Sunshine	Using the Turbo Nozzle to freely roam on the water	The camera is so hard to control
Super Mario Galaxy	Grand Finale Galaxy feels really satisfying	Having a death counter
Super Mario Galaxy 2	Slimy Spring Galaxy feels very calm	Having a death counter (again)
Super Mario 3D Land	The beach theme	The camera relies too much on the stereoscopic 3D
Super Mario 3D World	The graphics look so colourful and inviting	Having a death counter (again)
New Super Mario Bros.	Mini Mario's physics	Luigi's gambling minigames don't use stars for scoring
New Super Mario Bros. Wii	World 9-8	You can't use characters other than Mario as the sole player
New Super Mario Bros. U	Frosted Glacier-1 Spinning-Star Sky	You still can't use characters other than Mario as the sole player

Mario Party 4	The minigames are actually quite good	Definitely Beach Volley Folley
Mario Party 6	The mic minigames	Lack of real replayability
Mario Party 7	8-Player Sma- I mean, Mario Party!	Lack of real replayability (it's Mario Party; I didn't expect otherwise)
Mario Party 9	Having a lot of minigames from the get-go	The board games feel like a chore
Paper Mario: The Thousand-year Door	Definitey the story for this one	Pit of 100 Trials
Super Paper Mario	Most definitey the story	You have to do four 100-level runs for 100% completion (I didn't bother)
Paper Mario: Color Splash	The music	Just one save slot? What the heck, INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS?
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story	Between the humour and the music… I pick the latter	I don't like Dr Toadley, for some reason
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team	The very fact that Mario & Luigi is finally in 3D	The giant battles
Mario Power Tennis (Nintendo GameCube)	The music (Sakuraba never disappointed me)	Artist On the Court's sheer difficulty
Super Mario Strikers	Over-the-top action not often seen in Mario	It's kind of frustrating if you're on the losing side
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem	It has a pretty fun level editor	The puzzles get boring fast
Donkey Kong Country Returns	The Wii Remote-shaking session at the end of each level	The gameis way too demanding (well, it is Donkey Kong)
Yoshi's Touch & Go	The Marathon mode, as a time-killer	I hate it whenever I get a wind or bottomless cave segment
Yoshi's Island DS	The museum is quite satisfying to look at	The baby-swapping mechanic is way too annoying
Wario World	Punching vending machines for garlic feels great	I get lost in those levels easily
WarioWare: Smooth Moves	Wario Dance Company!	Why doesn't this game have 16:9 support?
Star Fox Adventure	Great graphics — for an early GameCube game, anyway	…Everything else
Star Fox 64 3D	The addition of the 3DS (low difficulty) mode	Still too difficult outside of the 3DS mode
Star Fox Zero	The varied vehicles	I can't really get used to the control
Star Fox Guard	The enemy designs are interesting	Not enough special cameras
Polarium	The simplicity of the Puzzle mode	The maximum supported puzzle size is 8×8, which is too small
Magnetica	The later Puzzle mode questions are so clever	No indication of how close to completion one is at for Action and Quest modes
Kirby Air Ride	Music! Did I say the HAL Sound Team are great?	Not enough contents (particularly, number of race courses)
Kirby's Epic Yarn	Melody Town	Grinding for 100% completion can be a chore
Kirby Mass Attack	The sub-games being a big love letter to HAL's history	The main game feels a tad boring
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse	Elline's so adorable	It's too short; Kirby 64 also has this problem
Kirby Super Star Ultra	Extreme replayability	The sound quality is worse than the SNES version
Kirby's Return to Dream Land	Level 7 Stage 3 is so satisfying	Player 1 can't play as other characters than Kirby
Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition	Episode 72 of the anime is included!	The Fighter and Smash Combat Chambers (because I'm not good at boss fights)
Kirby Triple Deluxe	The story	The Supernova sessions are rather repetitive, and they can't be skipped
Kirby Planet Robobot	Having all the elements (stickers, music) from past Kirby games	Team Kirby Clash for being difficult even at the maximum level
Picross 3D	The little animations for completing the puzzles	The DS's touch screen control isn't exactly accurate
Picross 3D: Round 2	The level of challenge is just right	Some puzzles appear to have multiple correct solutions, making me get stuck
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures	Being a graphically impressive 2D game	The GC-GBA cable isn't the most reliable piece of hardware
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds	The sages (too bad they don't talk that much)	Having too little actual character interaction
Nintendo Puzzle Collection	Finally, an actual sequel to Panel de Pon!	No real surprises for the other two games (Dr. Mario and Yoshi's Cookie)
Tetris DS	Touch has a decent replayability	The inability to use only a single BGM (the Zelda theme for example) in Marathon
Wave Race: Blue Storm	The weather effects feel fresh	…But the weather effects, coupled with the control, also makes the game too difficult
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance	Boyd, the most competent axeman I've seen	The game generally feels incomplete without Radiant Dawn
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn	The exceptional growth rates	Awful game balance, with some units never getting any real chance to level up
Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem	The sheer number of chapters and extra maps	Having to kill Roro and Kleine
Fire Emblem Awakening	「お父さんは幼い少女しか好きになれないのですか?」	The topology of the world map (it's a random thing to dislike, I know)
Fire Emblem Fates	The Recollection of Bubbles DLC	Why can't I get all characters in a playthorough? Not even in Revelation?
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadow of Valentia	The music is the best in the main FE series	Inherent balance problems from being a Gaiden remake are back
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE	Tiki's Not an Illusory World	The story has more holes than Swiss cheese
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption	The immersive envionment	Generally being too difficult (for me anyway)
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn	Sveta dominating everything feels satisfying	The Grave Eclipse scared me the way Big Boo's Haunt in Super Mario 64 did
Rhythm Heaven Fever	The credits song is very catchy	The Perfect campaign, as with all other Rhythm Heaven games
Bomberman Blast (Wii disc version)	Items specific to this generation (rocket and shield)	The battle stages aren't as varied as the Super Famicom / Saturn games
Puyo Puyo Tetris (Wii U)	Swap mode	Lidelle… (No, I don't hate Ess for "replacing" her)
Puyo Puyo Chronicle	I can play as Ally! Rafisol and Lidelle too, but Ally's the best!	This is a Nintendo 3DS game, so where's the 3D?
Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX	Watashi no Jikan	Not enough Luka, and definitely not enough Luka×Miku

Blue text = I'm hard-pressed to say this, either because I haven't finished the game or the game really is that good / bad.
