    Thank you for making this walkthrough. Worth playing for the Healing Magatama, but use a walkthrough. I wasted so many hours just trying to get past stages 8 and 13, only to find out that it gets even harder. To those who beat all 20 in one sitting without a strategy guide or a walktrough, you deserve a medal.

    I literally have no memory of this. Maybe my brain erased it to protect my mind from madness, but not only do I not remember ever playing this minigame, I don't even remember it EXISTING. I clearly solved it though, since I got all the Magatama. Did I really solve it all on my own? Did I look up a walkthrough (which would have been incredibly tedious since it would have required reproducing all the steps displayed on some ASCII art on GameFAQs 'cause there was no TH-cam back then)? Or am I experiencing a severe Mandella Effect?!

    Screw _Puzzle Boy;_ I'm calling it _Puzzle Jack!_
    In all seriousness, there are several ways this minigame could've been improved without even touching the puzzles themselves.
    -The first and biggest one could've been giving players an option to continue from where they left off--level passwords, level select, just leaving the machine and asking the kid not to touch it...
    -The second could've been to have the kid give you smaller rewards for each stage cleared, which would gradually get better until the grand prize for completing the game, the magatama Geis.
    -The third could've been an option to view a hint for any stage, or maybe even a complete step-by-step guide (which would probably require paying the kid some Macca; a complete guide would obviously cost more than a hint, and _maaaybe_ the price would increase with each stage...?)
    (I could've used save states on PCSX2, but I decided against it for some dumb reason. Should've just gone to bed and resumed then.)
