Monday Mind Teasers: Hello moto! photo

You know how it works! With the help of each other, try to figure out all of the disguised game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones.

Don't let this week's large amount of medium and hard puzzles fool you, this is a pretty easy week of mind teasers. Not only is the theme very simple this week, but almost all of the puzzles this week are probably games you know well. As usual, don't be afraid to shout out ideas and work together as a team to solve them all. Good luck!

Friendly reminder: there's more teasers than appear on the home page. Check out all 13 in the image gallery.

P.S. I fully expect one person to solve all of these solo in record time. Make me proud.

Man...I know what Hard 3 is, I just can't remember the guy's name. He was a trophy in Super Smash Bros. right? I think it was like, Doshin the Giant or something?

Oh yeah, Medium 1- Super Mario Bros. 3
Medium 4- Metroid Prime

Theme...is it Nintendo?

Easy 4 = Final Fantasy X? Mega Man X?

and Hard 1 definitely feels like one of those things in super mario that throw hammers at you and jump around annoyingly.

And I'm guessing Easy 4 as F-Zero X. Totally going with that Nintendo theme too, by the way...

Medium #2: Animal Crossing. I think the theme is Nintendo.

Hard 3 -- solved. Yep! Doshin the Giant!
Medium 1 -- solved.
Medium 4 -- solved.
Hard 1 -- Ice Climbers.
Medium 5 -- solved.
Easy 1 -- solved.
Hard 2 -- solved. (Was GameBoy version though)
Easy 4 -- solved. F-Zero X.

While Nintendo theme is close, it's not the actual theme. Don't forget that the title of each Mind Teaser's edition is the clue to that week's theme. The title of this week should make it clear :)

Oh, Yoshi's story. The upper left egg looked like a Zelda fairy to me.

Medium #3: Donkey Kong Jr. I think. I know I've seen that face before, and I'm pretty sure it was on a monkey.

Hard 2 and Hard 4 are eluding me. Hard 2 is probably one of the Wave Races, but it doesn't look familiar. PAL cover perhaps?

Hard 4, I still don't know. Not many Miyamoto properties left though so I'm gonna say...Pikmin. Which is probably totally wrong.

Hard 4: Devil World

Nope, Medium 3 -- still unsolved. Also, it's one of my favorite mind teaser pieces of art evar! such a fun one to paint up.

WAIT. Hard 2 is the original Game Boy version of Wave Race...I forgot that even existed. >_>

Wow, I've never even heard of Devil World. Good job.

I keep thinking of Shin-Chan when I see Medium 3. Did Miyamoto make a shin-chan game?

Not so sure on Medium 3, but I'm thinking Pikmin.

Theme -- solved. Games Shigeru Miyamoto worked on.
Hard 4 -- solved! Devil World.

Medium 3 -- still unsolved! But it has been submitted as an answer to a different cover tonight!

Err...is it the big slug thing on the cover of Pikmin? If you get rid of all the little Pikmin he's eating it kinda looks like it...

Yup! Medium 3 -- solved. That's all of them I believe. Good job everybody.
