How in the world anyone can sit their ass in front of a TV for nearly 24 hours playing video games and not go crazy is beyond me.  

And I suck, so it would take me a week to finish all of those games.  I get so impatient and try to rush through a level then get killed by running headlong into a Koopa or something similarly stupid.

My family always used Peach in Super Mario Bros 2 as well.  Maybe every once in a while we'd use Toad, but it was Princess 99% of the time.  I think she just responds the best to the controls.  It's either Mario or Luigi who doesn't seem to go fast enough.

I don't remember much about SMB 3 past the water world.  Hmm.  Yeah, that frog suit sucked ass.  No one ever used it.
