if all the save data is deleted when the device is powered off, then i wonder how that file was there? i swear they rolled the kiosk in from a different room, so there shouldn't have been any saves, right? i could be misremembering, but it was a cool find at the time nonetheless!!

thank you for such a wonderful writeup, as always! and thanks for sparking my memory of this machine!!! i was in a hospital near the end of 2009, and i had access to a starlight wii! i played super paper mario most of the time. weirdly, it already had a save file on it, at chapter 5-1?

this was a good way for me to find out!!

idk that demon seems pretty chill

fr!!!!!!!

hihihi!!

the remaster should've had a random chance of playing the sunshine death jingle just for moments like this

hard agree. i'm gonna go take it up to god and see what she has to say about this tomfoolery, you should come with me

that's abhorrent!!!! :( as a former ohio resident that had to do it at least once, i would suggest filing a complaint with OSHA, especially if this has been ongoing! (it's always worth a shot)

gmeowning!!!
