Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit.

Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind!

I did this on Gamefaqs, so if you've seen it done by toad133, he and I are the same. Don't beleive me, ask Kiki or Lin.

Do you remember, as you shook your first rattle as a baby and your mother cuddle you? Your parents knew nothing of it, but you had an inkling that you were destined for great things.
At the age of 19, fate led you to Hal Laboratory, thus, they had given you the task of making the character of a new game.

You scrunched up your first creation, remember, Sakurai? It was of a purple bat, no one would be interested in that, is what you thought to yourself.
And then it hit you. Nineteen and a masterpiece in the making, you drew a circle. Then, you made black lines, slightly oval. Now, you made some shoes on the bottom. Then, you finished with the mouth. Reaching for a pink, black and red pen, you coloured them in...and thus, created Kirby.

One or two arrogant fools at Hal Laboratories waved your idea away, calling it simple.
They even complained about the colour of Kirby, saying he should be yellow. You got him to be pink in the end, right? However, the head of the company snapped his finger. He, Sakurai, was one of the first to be in the presence of your greatness. Of course, your teachers at your school had an inkling...but they were disappointed for you to take your greatness to a "silly" job as making video games. Those teachers however, would one day confiscate a Nintendo Gaming Magazine such as Famitsu from a child and would see how far you came.

You then made the game Kirby's Dream Land. This was a great game, no doubt Sakurai, but you couldn't help but feel...not challenged. So, as the years went by, the reign of the Nintendo 64 moved in...and you made Nintendo proud.

You put eight characters from Nintendo, Mario, Kirby, Link, Pikachu, Fox, DK, Samus and Yoshi. Your team at Hal Laboratories were of course, now aware of your greatness, and thus set to work.

By the end of 1999, every gamer in the world, the sensible ones at least, had your greatness in their hands, Sakurai. Super Smash Bros. The first. The fifth best selling game on the N64, the gamers of the world began to feel your greatness...

Then, you set to work on the next masterpiece. Everyone loved Smash, so you created Melee. By now, everyone was practically opened mouth at this. You, Sakurai, had made something no man had ever done before. A work of art. Melee.

Of course, you left Hal in 2003, didn't you, Sakurai? We do not look down on you for it. Your destiny would lead you to this someday. You always knew that, yes? So, you put on a smile and made SORA.

Of course, then, you made everyone happy. You made babies smile and elderly people stand in awe. You started work on another masterpiece. Brawl.
You clapped your hands, you knew everyone would love it! Everyone certainly did in Japan. America was tickled pink to see Dedede, Metaknight, Diddy Kong, Pit and many other new faces show. You, Sakurai, had improved on a game so well, so spectacuarly, that God himself was amazed.

However, there were the complainers on Doomsday, I remember you calling it, Sakurai. The rosters, the music...and you stood for a moment, a little bit wary.
But, then you remembered. The one thing you kept on holding onto for hope. If one child plays this game, you told yourself, just one, you would be happy.

This wasn't the case...but you kept on hoping, Sakurai. And now, America shall bathe in your glory of Brawl, as soon shall Europe...

You were destined for great things, Sakurai...and the world hopes you continue to do great things.

Good luck.

I did make a few stupid mistakes that exist in that copy, people were nice enough to point them out, such as the idea of Kirby was wanted to be yellow.
Damn, I wish Princess Peachie had seen it though... ;_;

Wow, I'm surprised most weren't jerks which seem to plague Gamefaqs and other forums these days.

And I posted. But it is only one word.
