Happy Monday, folks, and welcome to the Weekly Video Games Thread. For today’s prompt, I’m going to bask in my two separate victories in the crappy Spade Panel game in this playthrough of Super Mario Bros. 3 to ask: share your stories of overcoming a blatantly unfair, probably retro mini-game!

And, of course, what did you play this weekend? EDIT: and remember to check out Lily-Bones’ latest “Game News Roundup!”
