Well, I've beatem the Flipside Pit... but the Flopside one is SICK tough. So I don't know.
And believe me, you'll need a core gamer to beat teh pit. I've been gaming since i was in Kindergarten, I'm pretty good with Mario games. And i haven't even gotten to number 50 yet.
Try being at level 99 on the flopside pit and just got pwned by a monster when you had the key.

he's my boyfriend I thought about buying it off the Wii Shop channel, but wasn't sure.
I have that one and the 3rd one. The graphics on the 1st one aren't that great, but the game is fun...
And Final Fantasy: 365 1/2 Days... and Metroid Prime: Other M (or is it Samus: Other M? Oh well)... and a new line of a bunch of other games.... But Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wii look the best (saw this at the Nintendo meeting thing). I can't wait to be able to ride Yoshi in Super Mario Galaxy II!

Was it E3? Do you subscribe to Nintendo Power?
Yes to the first, no to the second.
BTW, in SPM, has anybody beaten the Flopside pit? If you have, is it true that, if you get the mario card, you get unlimited 3D?
That is true, look it up.
