Yeah...it's kinda complicated, but here's how it goes.  Go back to Booster
Tower and you'll run into the Knife Guy along they way....guess which hand
he
yellow ball is in right 50 times and he'll give you a Bright Card...BE
WARNED!!!  If you sell it, you CANNOT get another one!  AND!!!  If you guess
wrong, he'll deduct that number from the number you have right!
Now that you have the card, go back to Bean Valley and remember the pipes
ith
ALL those piranah plants and the Shy Away who waters them?  Go into the last
pipe in the back right hand corner and beat the Chomp Chomp.  Then, go to
right of him (from Mario's view) and jump 3 times.  A yellow block should
appear for you to jump on.  To get to the top....from there, you can goto
Grate Guy's Casino.
That's what they meant by, "Three jumps and a Bright Card will get you
n...no
Chomps allowed!"   HAVE FUN!!!

        wasn't on the character select screen I saw, they gave a list of
        those who would definitely be in it and Cage was on it.  He may be
        hidden behind one of the two dragons that appear on the select
creen.
        The N. Power said that there would be some surprises, including a
        character that takes advantage of all the N64's capabilies (of

        I'm going to be getting it for the PSX.)

assistant: I'm confused.  I saw a character select screen fot the N64 for the
        upcoming MKT (I also saw a picture of the vs. screen with Baraka vs.
        Sheeva and saw Baraka have Sheeva impaled.  Sigh... another rehash).
        However, this was ONLY for the N64.  My friend saw in EGM and
        character select screen for the PSX MKT that only showed UMK3.  So,
        what I want to know is, are the two systems getting the same version
        or is the PSX just going to have the three games on the CD sort of
        like Mario All-Stars?
