NES Favorites Trivia Quiz

Answer: The Grim Reaper

In order, the bosses in the game are a large vampire bat, Medusa's head, two mummies, Frankenstein and Igor, The Grim Reaper, Dracula, and Dracula Beast. The Reaper is considered by most to be the hardest boss in the game. If a player can reach him with holy water, and possibly an item multiplier, then he actually becomes laughably easy.

Answer: Twelve

It takes only the three heart containers that you start with in order to obtain the Wooden Sword. It takes six total containers to get the White Sword. It takes twelve total hearts to get the Magical Sword. Each sword does twice as much damage as the sword before it.

The earliest you can get the Magical Sword in the first quest is after beating the boss at the end of level 4, and then getting the heart container in the ocean that Link needs the ladder to get. The earliest you can get the sword in the second quest is after beating the boss in level 5.

Answer: Crateria

Brinstar is the name of the first area where Samus first appears. Norfair is the area that is between Brinstar and Ridley's Lair. Tourain is the area where Mother Brain and the Metroids are found. Crateria is the surface of Zebes, which we do not see in the original Metroid. Samus lands here in "Super Metroid" for the SNES and "Metroid: Zero Mission" for the GBA.

Answer: Don Flamenco

King Hippo is ranked #2 on the Major Circuit. Great Tiger is ranked #1 on the Major Circuit. Mr. Sandman is ranked #1 on the World Circuit. Don Flamenco is ranked #3 in the Major Circuit, and #2 on the World Circuit. He is considerably more challenging the second time around.

Answer: 6-3

In the Super Mario All-Stars version for the SNES, this level is not an ice level. I was extremely disappointed. However the added depth to the graphics, particularly the backgrounds, on the game is enough to make up for this omission.

Answer: Ice Man

Air Man, Wood Man, and Crash Man all appear in "Mega Man 2", while Ice Man was a Robot Master from the original "Mega Man". "Mega Man 2" is a prime example of how the video game world does not follow the same rules as movies. The sequel is usually a better seller than the original.

Answer: Two

When Sir Arthur is hit the first time, he loses his armor. When he is hit the second time he dies. This game is as hard as it is because it was originally an arcade game which was ported to various platforms. We all know that the best way to make money on an arcade game is to make the player die.
