Spanky, the monkey in Spanky's Quest doesn't really look like a monkey at all. More like a hamster with a long tail.

I actually just beat this game a couple months ago but it took me a while.
My ★★★★★ review of Mario's Picross (1995) on @backloggd.com : After months of plugging away I finally beat it. I almost made it with no clues or guesses but that last row was brutal. bckl.gg/pCwC

I completed both Mario Picross for the Game Boy, the Super Famicom one, Pokémon Picross (unreleased but complete) and the Club Nintendo Picross for the 3DS.
They are perfect in every way.

Any thoughts on Mario's Picross? How far did you get?
On Sunday we announce game 100 for Yokoi Kids! Can you guess what it is? Spoilers: It's not Pokemon or Speedy Gonzales.

I'm sure you folks can tell when we're out of content when we start referencing things from The Cutting Room Floor. But check out the Picross page to see the puzzles they changed from the Japanese release. Bummed we missed out on the umbrella Yokai.

If you put Mario's Picross in a Super Game Boy it does this funny thing where Mario's features are embedded on the Game Boy frame. Clever? picross.miraheze.org/wiki/File:Ma...

There is a Japanese-only sequel for Mario's Picross that has more detailed picture where you can actually make out what the image is. For example, this one is a bunny.

New little Wario Land piece by Rick V. up on the website.

Wario Land (GB) I don't think I have beat it since I was a kid. Masterpiece. In the voice of an Irish SF podcaster, "It's a game about a fat lad who can't run very fast or jump very high, and you'll never believe this, he's greedy." I joke, but the game is so much defined by being NOT Mario.

after you're done with all the puzzles in Mario Picross, there are a million different options on the switch also from Jupiter. Even this namco one I would definitely not recommend over the main numbered ones.

There is a debug mode in Wario Land where you can change Wario's size and hats. And you can jump to higher spots. The info is on The Cutting Room Floor page.
