Lol you act like we're all 10 or something, the game isn't that old and we aren't that young. Of course I remember this rowing game, I got a bunch of bruises from it. Another one that gave me bruises was the pedaling one where you had to move the joystick around to make a light and avoid getting eaten by the Boo.
I used to play it all the time at my cousin's house and always choosing either the Yoshi Island world or the Princess Peach Cake world.
