You have no idea how proud I am that I made it this far into the series before making an RPG joke.  But seriously, this is ABSOLUTELY how I play RPGs: the slowest, boringest, most grindiest way possible.  I went back and played Mario RPG for the first time in years not too long ago, and right away decided to hang out in Mushroom Way for longer than I was supposed to just to level Mario up a bit... then all of a sudden I realized I'd been been at it for hours.  Next thing I knew, Mario was absolutely BEASTING through the whole first third of the game. I don't even think I had to use a single mushroom until, like, the Moleville Mines, he was so overpowered.

So I guess what I'm saying is, if I'D been leading this party, they wouldn't have actually faced Shabranigdo for fourty episode or so, but then when they DID, they'd breeze through him like some low level mook.

Oh, and before anybody asks: Yes, I was strongly tempted to actually do the second panel as NES sprite art, but I ABSOLUTELY would have gotten way too into and spent too much time on.  Did you not pay attention to the previous paragraphs?  I spend lots of time on repetitive things!
