The ending may be different but it is still an end screen, borrowing from the "Complete Every SNES" thread if you get to A end screen than it counts.

good point. same apply to MK64 50cc cup only. you could do that and call it complete. which is not ?

I beat F-Zero X. And by beat I mean won first in all categories and unlocked all the unlock able tracks.

Oot beaten. End credits, all items & songs.

You couldn't call it "complete," but you COULD call it "beaten."  Some games there's just too much involved in completion to make it feasible, while others are small enough to complete in one shot.  WWF No Mercy, for example, would require getting 100% on all 7 belts, AND unlocking everything in the shop.  Considering I've had the game since launch and am still grinding in order to get enough cash to buy the Ho, that really says something about just how hard it is to 100% complete the game.  However, it can be considered beaten by beating a single ladder path and getting the credits.  Since we're shooting to beat the games, then beating Mario Kart 64 on 50cc would be enough to cross it off the list, but not enough to call it complete.  If that makes sense

Yeah, beating Mario Kart on 50cc, as lame as it is, is considered a beat IMO.

Also, I noticed there's been a mistake (possibly my fault) - p33jay was awarded a point for Ocarina of Time a few days ago even though he just beat it. So not sure if we should give the point to Nightowljrm unless the 3DS version doesn't count.

For the sports games, would completing a season be considered completing it, Or would winning a championship?

I would assume winning a championship (where applicable) would be the way to go, but it's up to the OP.  However, if you were playing it for your own sake, would you say you beat the game if you played through the season and failed to win the championship?  Didn't think so

Like  I mentioned earlier, I beat every cup on 150cc in Mario Kart.

I would say all games have to be the N64 version.  Ports tend to have differences that aren't always noticable at first.

I'm following the rules set up by the other 2 threads in that emulators are ok, so I figure the 3ds version counts because the differences in the game don't change it all that much, otherwise it would be considered a different game, and its really not. I also fixed the OOT entry to say Nightowl did beat it not p33jay

The rules have always been that emulation is okay, but ports are not.  Just saying.

EDIT: And for the record, I'm the one who initially wrote the rules

I got dibs on DK64, I am starting it now.

Since the new year, I have beat the following:
F-Zero X
Madden 2001
Madden 2002
NFL Blitz 2001
Star Soldier

Star soilder was already beaten but you were marked down for the other 4

excitebike 64 is a bitch. god awfull game mechanic with though pro mode.

Finished Army Men Sarges Heroes today, and what a bitch that was, the control in that thing is such a pain. I'm used to modern games when you turn the control stick you walk that way, not in army men. Turning the stick spins your character than you wait for the camera to line up then press forward to walk. I won't go into anymore detail than that but the control really does suck, I got used to it enough to finish it. Good thing this game not only saves to the control pack but has a password system to because at one point I lost my save file on the second to last level, and without that password I would have quite right there. This game had alot of potential just not executed very well. I'm gonna try and knock out the sequel...just because.

I actually agree with Wiz, I don't think Nightowljrm should get the point.

Great idea!

I'm assumig PAL versions of the games on the list count too right? (please say yes, so I can  join in too! )

I just beat Diddy Kong Racing. I played Adventure Two mode and there were credits after beating Wizpig the first time but I finished the hidden world anyway and got the altered credits as well.

Is the gameplay significantly different in most games? If not then it should be okay.

I know you have some NTSC games you can play though...

I beat Castlevania legacy of darkness last week. Ill post a screenshot later

I just beat Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 so mark me down for those please.

I've always said PAL and NTSC were both okay.  Don't want to exclude our European brothers just because they have a different TV signal

Everything is updated, and yes PAL games are acceptable, and somehow the game list has 297 games. I don't know if I hit return or copy and pasted something weird somewhere but it should only be 296. I looked but didn't see what happened so if anyone happens to notice the issue let me know, thanks.
