Question.

[facsmth]

I was reading the September 2006 issue of Game Pro (I bought it because it came with a free Conan comic from Dark Horse) and on page 20, there's a screenshot from a DS game. The little article next to the screenshot is talking about dead pixels and the screenshot was meant to indicate what a "dead pixel" looked like. The thing is, they neglected to indicate which game the screenshot was from. Here's what it looked like. In the background, there's a blue field with the "Nintendo" logo. In the foreground, Top-left corner is the word "Standard." Below that is "Marathon" (showing a picture of SMB Mario kicking a turtle shell). Below that is "Line Clear" (showing SMB Mario on a flag pole.) Below that is "VS CPU" (showing SMB Mario dying as he's hit by a squid). Below that is "How to play" (showing a yellow question mark). On the bottom-right corner is an instruction to press B to go back. Okay, so it's a menu screen. I'm pretty sure this isn't the original Super Mario Bros game, but something else.

So uh, what are you asking?

That's what I was wondering.

If a caterpillar a pint, how much would an octupus?

If a bear poos in the woods, does anyone smell it?

What game has a menu screen like the one I described? (I"ll post the screenshot I snagged from the magazine... as soon as I can upload it...)
