King of Earth and Moon: Chapter 16




King of Earth and Moon-a podcast novel show

Summary: Google doc of the text so far. Mick Aloha had a terrible thought as he threw down the Famicom's controller.nbsp; He'd completed the gamemdash;using the warp zones and some pretty smooth cheatsmdash;to finish in less than fifteen minutes.nbsp; That left him five minutes to spare.nbsp; The thought, though, kept him from enjoying his victory.nbsp; What ifmdash;and this was a big what if, but a possible what if just the samemdash;Ninja Aki next asked him to finish part two in 20 minutes.nbsp; Aloha was privy to the two versions of Super Mario Brothers 2, the Japanese and American.nbsp; The Japanese version was so difficult they didn't even bother releasing it in the U.S.; instead, they took a different game, changed the characters, and turned it into a Mario game.nbsp; Aloha knew there was no chance he could finish the Japanese version in 20 minutes, maybe not even in 20 days, and this took into consideration Aloha's expert video game skills. Ninja Aki turned off the TV and Famicom. ldquo;Ne, good job.nbsp; Now, for your next test.rdquo; ldquo;When can I get something to eat?rdquo; ldquo;When the testing has finished.rdquo; ldquo;I'm starving, dude.nbsp; Myself, I prefer a big breakfast and a big dinner.nbsp; I like to start big and end big.nbsp; Pretty much, that's how I live my whole life.rdquo;
