Yea, once I started to get multipliers the studs went through the roof. I think I ended up in the billions.

I've been using the age of 10 as the time to start gaming, but I know other people started earlier. I guess it was 10 for me because that's when the first really big home console came out with Atari. Before that it was just Pong and you can only get so much into pong. It's just too simple to get really crazy about. 

My Bowser must be the Smash Bros one because I didn't get a statue, just 10 sparklium. That was the same with the rest. So I'm just using the Olimar and Pikmin one to unlock secret areas and give me more pikmin. 

Exactly like that. Way too long to remember easily. 

I should've known. You were just the right age when the NES came out. I guess that makes you a Nintendo kid for sure. I'm an Atari kid. 

Olimar, Pikmin, Shovel Knight, Chibi-Robo, Ganondorf, Bowser, and two from Skylanders Superchargers that are listed on Nintendo's website as amiibos but won't be read by my UPC reader - Turbo Charge Donkey Kong and Hammer Slam Bowser. Wait. . . I just read you can twist the base to make it readable. Weird. I'll have to try that. So far only Olimar and Pikmin have unlocked more than 10 sparklium in Hey! Pikmin. 

Switcherooni! I think I'll use that as my Mii greeting in Mii Plaza. 

So far it's not repetitive. You fight some angels and then battle a big baddie. So far each baddie has been unique. Then there's a shooting gallery mini game at the end of the level. There's some exploration too and a few puzzles thrown in. 

I got several hours into it and got a handle on the basics. I will go back to it. 

I'm doing ok on Normal. I'm so tempted to go easy though to see everything quickly.
