How I Got My Way w/Gamestop + Super Paper Mario Trick April 14, 2007

On release, I bought Sonic:Secret of the Rings. I thought I lost all hope with Sonic in his 3-D realm, but the Wii version looked like it had potential. I played the game for the next couple days and thought it was a decent game. Then I got to levels that required me to jump backward and plant dino eggs into holes.

Ok, so I gave it a chance. The controls totally ruined this game. I was passed that the game was on a circular track and the gimmicky saving dinos and crap, but when it comes to where I can’t even accomplish my silly goals, I get frustrated. I loved the graphics and I kept coming back to play, rediscovering my hatred for this unplayable game. So I had the receipt, but this is now around 2 months from when I bought the game. Super Paper Mario just came out, so I wanted to find a way to even exchange Sonic for the much more successful Mario.

It took a few attempts, but with the right attitude and luck, this will work. It took me 4 visits to Gamestops all over my area, but there is one about every 6 blocks in my neighborhood, so this wasn’t an issue. My goal was to get a new, unopened copy of Sonic with a receipt with a new date on it so I can trade it in for Super Paper Mario.
