(Gone back and forth on whether or not to include the trivia questions and answers and stuff like that, but I've come down on the fact that we should, if not because we have stuff like level maps for the platformers, than only for the fact that these articles have little to say otherwise. However, getting all the potential trivia questions (and item dialogue) will be a bit of a pain with this game's poor online documentation...) |
