Like many role-playing games, Super Mario RPG features plenty of fun secrets to find as you journey through its world. One of these secrets is the Grate Guy’s Casino, which will require you to do some jumping in a very specific place to unlock an incredibly well-hidden passage. If you’re looking to play the slots or kick back with some Blackjack, we’ll tell you how to find your way to this super secret spot.
There are two steps required to reach the Grate Guy Casino.
The first step to reaching Grate Guy’s Casino is obtaining the Bright Card, as you’ll be unable to enter without it. To find this item, make your way to Booster’s Tower. As you ascend the tower, you’ll eventually come across a juggling character named Knife Guy, who will challenge you to a game that requires you to pick which hand he’s holding a yellow ball in after he finishes juggling. You’ll need to win twelve times in a row before he’ll eventually reward you with the Bright Card. It’s fairly easy to figure out which hand the yellow ball has landed by simply watching which direction it was moving when the juggling stops, so it shouldn’t pose too much of an issue.
With the Bright Card in hand, your goal is now to find Grate Guy’s Casino. To do so, you’ll need to head over to Bean Valley and walk to the center of this area to find a collection of pipes that you can go down to reach various underground sections. Go down the northernmost pipe and engage the Chain Chomp here in battle. Afterward, you’ll need to jump three times in the corner where the Chain Chomp was before you defeated it, which will reveal an extraordinarily well-hidden block that you can jump to that will allow you to reach the top of the wall. Head through the exit here.
When you emerge on the other side, go into the house and approach the two doormen. They won’t let you pass without the Bright Card, but since you’ve found it already, you’ll be free to pass through into the casino. Inside, you’ll find three games you can play: Slots, Blackjack, and a guessing game that requires you to look in the opposite direction that the person points. Compete in any of these as many times as you’d like and have fun!
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
