I remember when I was younger and this game came out. I was not able to get this game when it came out because of the living status. But I was always wanting to spend time at my friends house that had this game and play it. I loved it. If you are just starting into the game world and are interested in getting into the nintendo games, this is the game you start with. I would recommend it. Play it over and over again. You will end up finding hidden items and bonus areas. Its a fun game.
