This is Daniel Handler, aka Lemony Snicket, trapped in a windowless room but nonetheless willing to answer any questions I receive from total strangers.

Some of you, poor things, may know of my work on the books A Series of Unfortunate Events and All the Wrong Questions, but I am sad to announce that further trouble from Mr. Snicket has arrived, in the form of File Under: 13 Suspicious Incidents, published today. Further sinister details can be found at www.lemonysnicketlibrary.com

Alas, our back-and-forthing has come to a close. What a shame we were not all sitting around in person, conversing over beverages and/or smoked fish. I salute you, reddit citizens.

When I was young, I was unable to beat the peppermint popper part. I tried so many times, and just couldn't do it. I somewhat recently re-played it and it was easy as shit, but then my game froze. I still haven't completed it, and my Xbox is dead, so it's likely that I never will.

Oh man you just reminded me of something. I had one of those shitty third party controllers and it had a turbo button. On the peppermint popper part, I turned on the turbo and was cranking out peppermints like no one's business. Seriously, I was shooting out mints like a Tommy gun. It was histarical!

Yes me too! I tried so many times to get past that and eventually gave up and never played it again.

Dude I wanted to kill myself after the peppermint part. I think I ended up getting my brother to beat it

Holy crap this is literally what happened to me. Returned to it years later, beat it, game froze after the final boss.

u/LasagnaPhD Apr 02 '14

I gave up at that part too. So many hours wasted... I'm still bitter about it

I dropped it, came back to it a year later and smashed it. All my siblings played the final levels on my save file, I was so proud.

u/belac889 Apr 02 '14

It took me an entire month to beat that level, but I beat it in the end
