Hmm... I'm pretty sure I started both of them way back when, but I don't think I ever beat them. Dusting off the classics and seeing if I'm better suited to them now with the benefit of a few more years of experience is not a bad idea... Maybe I'll give that a shot after I finish Hell Pie.

Thinking along those lines, there's also Super Mario Sunshine, of course, for anyone else looking. (I definitely beat that one though!)
