Yeah I tried it on my not R4 and I don't get what the deal with Kid Icarus is either.
If it makes you feel better, I have an emulator I use with a controller, and I still get the shit kicked out of me.
That was basically my experience, except I didn't take the Grim Reaper path. Also, I deleted the game right after I died in that room. Yep.
That room DOES have a purpose, you just have to beat the game first. An impossible task.
That empty room is a power up room. When you have a certain number of total points and enter one of those rooms, a god will appear and give you an arrow power up.
The only problem is, there's no possible way to have enough points by the time the first door shows up to power you up. So it's completely worthless on your first playthrough.
When you beat the game, you're allowed to start at the beginning with all the power ups you had at the end, and your score carries over. That's when the room is of use.
@Tino: Impossible? The game is a cakewalk after you get out of the underworld. And the ticket to beating the underworld is to realize that you can't kill the Reapers yet, and that the monster rooms are fucking pointless until you have at least one arrow upgrade.
I felt all special when I beat the emulated Kid Icarus because it kicked my ass when I was a kid.
I beat Kid Icarus about a month ago with a friend and yeah it's hard but only the underworld and the dungeons with the with the Eggplant Wizards. It should be an assist trophy in Brawl haha. Also ew at Kid Icarus with a keyboard, get a controller or a usb adapter for your console controllers.
ahhh the room everybody hates... also, cocks.
seriously, flying ones.
i just hate using my keyboard and when i go to jump to an easy ledge i fall and die. because you can't scroll down after scrolling up, so i jump, screen moves, i fall to death.
i used to play this game on my treo. in the bathroom. when i was constipated. b/c it literally frustrated the shit out of me.
the reason the game is held in high regard is its level of difficulty, along with its tight controls. if you die in kid icarus, its prob your fault. but its not unfair, it keeps you coming back.

Yeah, I love this game on the NES, just not on my PC.
