The message “You are super player” appears in games such as the Super Nintendo’s Super Mario World and Aladdin.\u00c2\u00a0 Super Mario World’s final secret level, “Funky”, ends with a massive “You are super player” written in coins<\/a>. (corrected to “You are a super player” in the USA and Europe versions).<\/p>\n

The Aladdin appearance has some meaning to my brother and I.\u00c2\u00a0 We deduced that there would be a special ending if you collected all 70 gems as there was a counter during the final credits. As it was a rental, we spent all week trying to hunt down these gems.\u00c2\u00a0 At one point, we had collected all but one and were forced to restart the game as it was impossible to go back to collect it.\u00c2\u00a0 We finally collected every last one but after killing the final boss, we received the message “You are super player!”.\u00c2\u00a0 Seemed a bit of an anti-climax.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can find people on YouTube who have found all 70 gems, such as jaysmad’s Aladdin speed run: part 1<\/a> and part 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I found the Pro Action Reply code so you can actually just force the red gems to 70. I wanted to check that the message was the same in both the PAL and NTSC versions but didn’t feel like playing right through the game again.\u00c2\u00a0 It turns out that the game stores a local count for each section of levels as well as a global count.<\/p>\n

PAR code for Europe and US versions are:
\n7E03750A – find all 10 gems in section
\n7E037646 – find all 70 gems in game.
\n(you heard it here first!\u00c2\u00a0 I have never seen these codes anywhere)<\/p>\n

But why do Japanese have trouble with ‘a’ in “You are a super player”?\u00c2\u00a0 My partner Allison suggests: “Because they don’t have particles.\u00c2\u00a0 They don’t have an equivalent of ‘a’. The literal word-for-word in Japanese would be ‘you are super player’ to mean ‘you are a super player’.\u00c2\u00a0 If they had to be really specific to mean you are one super player, they’d have a fancy word for that.\u00c2\u00a0 You basically just don’t need to use the word in Japanese and it doesn’t exist (I’m drawing on my limited Indonesian knowledge here) See Japanese Counter Word<\/a>”<\/p>\n
