#76 - Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (SNES, 1996)

One of the best of the various Mario RPGs, this one by Square is one of the first RPGs I played, with me playing on ZSNES since I never owned the original console. I must have beaten the game three or four times during that span. I have tried replaying it since with the Wii's VC but the beginning is extremely slow and I'm not sure how I ever managed to get through that part. I could never figure out how to win at the Yoshi races. Geno (and Mallow too, I guess) is a boring character and doesn't really need to be in Smash. Speaking of Smash,

#75 - Super Smash Bros. Melee (GC, 2001)

I never did own a N64 so Melee was the first Super Smash Bros. game I owned, and what a game it was. I normally dislike most fighting games, but Smash is the one series I can still enjoy due to its party style. Back in Melee I mostly played Falco, Kirby, and Ness (I've used Ness in every Smash game). Cleared all 51 events, beat classic/adventure/all-star with all characters, etc. I did never get all the trophies in this one, I felt some requirements were either too hard or too tedious, not sure which at the time. This was always one of the games my friends and I would play at each other's houses throughout middle and high school.

#74 - Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (DS, 2010)

The best game in the Layton series, Unwound Future takes Layton and Luke to London in the future, accompanied by Luke's future self. As with every Layton plot, nothing is as it seems to be here. This game delves a lot into Layton's past which was missing from the other two games preceding this one, and still delivers a great amount of good puzzles throughout the adventure. It's unfortunate that the prequel trilogy never really hits the same impact that this game does.

#73 - Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum (DS, 2007)

The 4th generation Pokemon games, along with HG/SS which I already ranked. The big thing about this generation was the physical/special split for moves which allowed for several Pokemon to be a lot more useful - like a water Pokemon having a high attack stat. I mostly played Pearl and Platinum, and this generation is somewhat special for me as it's the first generation where I actually did catch them all with all 493 Pokemon in the dex. Team Galactic's theme is also the best evil team music in any Pokemon game.
