    Good motto.

    Congrats on the JUMP mastery

    Nonsense next? :P

    @Flareon Thanks! It's partially there for myself so I don't forget it, too. I'm guilty of trying to master some games beyond enjoyment and what's reasonable, but it's only really worth it if the end result is overall positive, imo.

    @Ben42 Wanting to go for JUMP 1/2 first, actually! But yes, Nonsense is definitely on my list after that (as well as Rakugaki Mario, if/when that ever gets a set!), which I'll get to as soon as I stop adding more Zelda games on the pile lmao

    I'm keen to see the original YUMP get a set too. Last year I was the first person to beat it on console, 100%, in one sitting. I'd be interested in Rakugaki too, potentially, though I'm yet to beat that away from RA.

    And GL with JUMP Half if you go for the mastery. Half 100% will be an easier time than JUMP, but mastering that set is many times harder. JUMP Mastery is doable for any keen Mario player but half mastery is so much more.

    And then you got Nonsense, the big daddy of S: Very Hard 100%. Beating it for the second time for RA is so intimidating. And I'm completely blown away that anyone has mastered that set.

    I'll be eternally impressed if you manae to take a mastery for either of those. Good luck and all the best!

    So, hope you are having fun
    Also i am taking notes from these comments in this wall right here.

    Thanks for the kind words. Your achievemtns clearly show you are good for top 1k and much beyond. You got this!
    Ben42 13 Feb 2025 10:51
    Yo what the heck you went HARD on Half. Wow!

    Good luck with the invisible Mario, if you pull that off you honestly deserve like 500k RPs. Incredible Mario player

    Thank you very much! I've been practicing with the hacks in the Kaizo Beginner Hub here on RA, and I think that really boosted my skillset over the last month or so. Tbh I'll probably taking those Invisible challenges a bit slow and pick at it over time as I play other games alongside it, but it's definitely something I want to give a fair shot at.

    That's probably reasonable. In my estimation it'd take significantly longer than the entire playthrough.

    GG on mastering Kaizo Mario World. These special world levels are painful

    @Mariano0910 Thank you! I was practicing through the Kaizo:Beginner Hub for months before tackling it, and it was sort of my end goal... I'm glad I persevered and finished it!
