I just got to Happy Happy Village, so I just finished what I think is the toughest part of the whole game with all the mobile sprouts and territorial oaks and robots that shoot you with beams that give you colds.
The other hardest part of the game is fighting your way through that one department store without Paula.
That probably is the hardest part of the game. I always felt like part was scaled to be okay with Ness and Paula but not just Ness by himself. The first time I played through the game Paula died and I didn't know you could revive her by staying at an inn. I had to beat that stupid mole with Ness only and a dead teddy bear. The stone revived Paula and made it easier again.
The one reason I really want to play through it again, I never got the sword of kings. I feel like I have killed over 128 of the stonehedge starmen over different playthroughs.
Also cuz sam don't know bo bout no earthbound raps
I bash in the fourside door to the floor, Flip the switch and take a wild ride to moonside. Where yes means no and no means yes. Turned the city into a downtown bar and frankli(nbadge) I'm not impressed. Get ready for battle with my homerun bat. Line it up and score a critical SMAAAAAAAASSSSHHH attack. SEE MANI MANI. KILL MANI MANI. TAKE MANI MANI.
