Can you please rename the thread topic? Sort of irritating.

My favourite game has always been Ufouria. Finished it maybe 15-20 times.

Mario 3D Land. Finish it 100% every six months. Got the game about two months after it came out.
Fun to attempt speedrunning at, too.

I have a weird thing with this. If I really love a game I'm afraid to play it too much. I'm afraid I'll like it less if I play too much. I'm in danger of doing this with the Strike games on Sega Genesis. I keep playing through the 3 Genesis games about twice a year. They are becoming a little less fun each time.

I can't count the number of times I saved the Princess in Mario Brothers. Sometimes I warp but mostly I play straight through. My crowning achievement was once I restarted on World 8 by hitting B after I saved the Princess, and saved her again, entire World 8 without loosing a life. Not sure how I pulled it off...  

I've completed most of the 3D Marios, but never 100%. Never finished Super Mario 2, 3, or World. Also finished Paper Mario three times, once unlocking all Star Pieces and Badges.

And fun fact, Zelda Link Between Worlds (3DS) was the first Zelda I completed. It won't be the last...

Nights into Dreams - too many to count. I think the only NES game I've ever beaten was SMB3.

Blasphemous, I know.

I've played through Mega Man 2 probably 5 times, both difficulties. Also Crisis Force on Famicom I've beaten multiple times, both difficulties. I feel like these are games I can always pick up and play, also they don't require a huge time investment, so that helps. On a side-note, I've beaten many of the Color Dreams games multiple times, they're just fun games to beat when you don't feel like playing for more than an hour.

As far as films, I've seen Planes, Trains, and Automobiles countless times.

Unlicensed can be a mixed bag, if often fun and quirky. I "beat" Mermaids of Atlantis (PG version of Bubble Bath Babes). The back story is a really cute parody of the evils of Nintendo licensing. Speaking of Mermaids, I think I may have beaten Little mermaid once but I've slept since then.

If you have any GBA signage or kiosk I would be interested. Please send me a PM because I'm only here about once a month now but I'm still VERY interested in large system signage or small playable kiosks related to the GBA.

I've beaten OOT maybe 5-7 times, always on N64 (hard to remember an exact number since I've started new games many more times). I've never actually beaten Master Quest even though I love the first game. Maybe I should finish that one day.

Movies I usually only watch once, maybe twice. Up is the only real exception which I saw 3 times in theaters.

as a puzzle game is it any good?

It plays like a cross between Tetris, Puzzle Bobble (Bust A Move), and Puyo Puyo (Dr Robonik's Mean Bean Machine / Kirby's Avalanche in the US). You play on a hex grid rather than square, pieces float up instead of down, and you position the bubbles to match groups of four or more same colors. Any "holes" or empty space at the top of the screen will prevent the bubbles from floating to the top. Instead of rotating pieces clockwise or counterclockwise, you flip horizontally and vertically with the A and B buttons. Collecting 5 letters in MAGIC allows you to use a powerup (Down + A, easy to hit by accident) that elimintes empty bubbles and randomizes the color, clearing many bubbles. Like with Tetris, if your pieces fill the entire screen, the game is over.

One popular strategy on the faster levels to buy more time is to swiftly move pieces back and forth left and right, which somehow slows the rate of ascention. Unfortunately if you accidentally tap down while frantically moving right and left on the Dpad and simultaneously attempt to flip the piece, it can waste the valuable MAGIC Bubble powerup item, which can be essential to clearing bubbles in the latter stages if they get too close to the ground.

PG Mermaids of Atlantis is a bit more playable as a game than the infamous softcore porn Bubble Bath Babes. They added a third background tune, removed the infamous 6th level, and allow you to select the starting round. Both versions display a slide show between levels.

Mermaids of Atlantis tells a story about the evil emperor Odinten sealing away the games mermaids love to play and charging money for them, parodying Nintendo's draconian licensing agreements with third parties. Bubble Bath Babes / Soap Panic features strippers in progressive states of undress. Soap Panic uses an alternate Nurse costume for the first stripper in place of the westernized character used in Bubble Bath Babes. IIRC, the other three strippers are the same in both games.

I own original carts of Mermaids of Atlantis and Soap Panic (the Japanese equivalent of Bubble Bath Babes).

I've actually never beaten SMB before as well lol.

For my favorites, OOT would probably be around 4-5 times across all versions (twice on N64, once on 3DS, twice on gamecube). Pokemon Red/Blue maybe 6-8. Dark Forces 2 I played a lot as a kid but with cheats... without cheats I have probably completed it 3 times.

The OT Star Wars are my favorite films but I dont know how many times I've watched them. Maybe a dozen times each?

I've got a small selection of films I really like, mainly the geek classics like Star Wars, Ghostbusters, BTTF etc. which I love to death and rewatch over and over. I guess that's not too unusual.

I remember I had a movie triple pack of VHS tapes when I was younger with Lock Stock, Trainspotting and Snatch. There was a year or two where I would rewatch either Lock Stock or Trainspotting at least once a week, maybe even multiple times a week. I only watched Snatch once, never felt the need to rewatch it... I guess I really just like what I like, lol!

As for games, I mean geez! I have no idea how many times I've beaten Mario 1, 2, 3 and 64. Beaten DKC a lot of times too, as well as Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye, Banjo, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Ducktales... Just so many games I'd play over and over as a kid, but then I guess we all did, right? If you've not got many games, you're gonna make use of them!

I've beaten Final Fantasy 1 a great many times. I do so at LEAST once a year, and I almost always have an ongoing playthrough of the game on one machine or another.

I've beaten Suikoden II like 5 times over the years plus once where I acted as a guide while my wife beat it. I've beaten Dragon Warrior probably 20 times or so since I was a kid.

I couldn't even begin to estimate the number of times I've seen Ghostbusters. It's a lot.

Ive done Super Mario World probably around 75-100 times over my life. I used to 96* on each save file and then a friends would come over and we blow through it again. I played less ovwr the hears but ive been doing at least 1 full run evwry year since i was 13.

DKC and DKC2 ive beaten maybe 10-15 times each. I didnt actually start beating these until about 2011 when i started collecting i only owned DKC2 as a kid and a friend had 1 and neither of us were very good at them for some reason.

Majora's Mask ive beaten the least maybe 5 times. But that is more due to its long nature
