AboutTrey McGowan Expertise I can answer strategy questions for just about any video games. RPGs and collecting/raising sims are my major specialty, though I am also experienced in general strategy games, a variety of MMORPGs, and possibly even some much more esoteric ones. I can't promise that I'll be able to answer all your questions from personal experience, but I can promise that if I can't, I will do my utmost to research the answer before I give it to you.
Best consoles to ask about: NES, SNES, GB/GBC, GBA, Playstation, Playstation II. If you are asking outside of this list, please give a little extra time for some research to be done on the game.
Please note: if you are wanting a particular version of strategy (i.e. a *fast* playthrough, a powerful playthrough, a challenge game, a specific boss beat in a specific way), make sure the details are added. The more I know about what *you* want to know, the better.
Experience I am an avid player of video games of various types, including RPGs, strategy games, MMORPGs, et cetera. I have been playing since the Atari 1300 days, and even back then, learning the strategy and the like of the games was as interesting as beating it.

Question have you played it? i cant find world 8 shifting sand land?
Answer Hi there, Jessie!
The N64 is not one of my areas of expertise for a reason: I have never played it. However, that doesn't mean that a little research can't go a long way. :)
In front of the 'Lethal Lava' stage, go down the path to a dead end. Or, at least, what *seems* to be a dead end! Just jump right in, and you should find what you're looking for.
Hopefully that answered your question! As always, comments, feedback, follow-ups, or whatever are quite welcome!
