Son of a bitch. None of the FAQs I checked for strategy mentioned that! That's two instances now where an stupid FAQ either left out important information, or their info was just straight up wrong.

The other instance was the one that told me to use Super Missiles on Dark Samus in Metroid Prime 2. :v:

I'm almost positive you can use Super Missiles on Dark Samus in Prime 2. It was only normal missiles that would be deflected by its phazon shield.

How did it tell you to fight Mogenar, out of curiosity?

Lesee. Going back a few days now... It said to do basically what I had been doing, which was to focus on each of his orbs individually, blow it out in Hyper Mode, then switch to Morph Ball when he did the foot thing. It said to stay on the opposite side of the arena from him, wait until he charged, side-step, and get into Morph Ball to bomb is legs, then get out of Morph Ball fast to dodge his shock wave. I can see that phase especially would have been a lot easier if I'd stayed in Hyper Mode when going into Morph Ball. Trouble is, I didn't even know you could do Morph Ball when in Hyper Mode until I got the Power-Up that Mogenar dropped. :v:

Really? Maybe in the second phase, then. In her first phase the Super Missiles would just bounce off her same as the normal ones.

smash bros is, and I quote, a "mascot sim" which is why genre curation on GameFAQs is a sham. It isn't a "fighting" game

Kingdom Hearts also falls into the genre of Mascot Sim, letting you live out your wildest fantasies as Jack Skelleton, Owl, Cloud, and The Ace of Spades card from "Alice In Wonderland"

mario rpg is not only an RPG but also a sign language aid. you can see the influence the school for the deaf and dumb had on this game in mario's "narrative" exploits. of course, once the funding went dry, nintendo said gently caress it and hired Charles Martinet in cold vengeance, ensuring Mario had the biggest, fruitiest italian accent he could muster.

I get triggered by implications that TTYD isn't the one true game.

For real though it's TTYD>BIS>M&LSS>PM64>Dream Team>SMRPG>SPM>PIT. I never played Sticker Star.

Super Paper Mario is really weird. There are entire chapters that are basically parodies of games. There's a dating sim parody chapter, and an MMORPG parody where you're literally running on an experience treadmill to earn enough gold to go up a level, and then a grinding chapter where you face slowly growing in difficulty enemies in increasingly identical arenas. It's not particularly fun but it's super interesting. More fun to watch than play.

The "normal" chapters where you platform around and use the world flipping mechanic are pretty fun though. Overall I enjoyed it but it's a huge departure from everything else in the series.

Also I found it weird that one indie game with the world flipping mechanic made by that weirdo in the documentary that came out a few years later was treated like a revolutionary original idea no one ever thought of before.

Multiple sources say that Dark Samus is still vulnerable to super missiles in her final fight. If my memory recalls, the only time she's immune to super missiles in that fight is when she surrounds herself in a phazon sphere and you have to absorb her phazon shots with your charge beam to knock her out of it.

I believe you. I wonder what I was doing wrong then. I can't go back and check easily, either, because I already saved my clear data. :(

Oh well, nothing to do but forge ahead in Prime 3! Next time I have trouble with a boss I'll complain about it here instead of trawling for terrible advice on GameFAQS!
