Actually most of the really popular series are pretty easy. They got extremely popular because they are so accessible. Mario, Sonic, Zelda, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, etc.

Not that guy but oldest save battery I have is in a Legend of Zelda cart I got for Christmas in 1988 and it still holds a save. That's 27 years.

My SMW still holds a save though it has lost data before. The most reliable battery backup for Snes seems to be Square carts, my Final Fantasys, SOM, CT, etc. still hold saves very reliably (knock on wood.)

I have noticed that carts that tend to lose saves more frequently are stuff like older Enix carts (Soul Blazer, Actraiser, etc.). So I think that battery quality may be a factor in how long they last. I have also heard theories that because Nes games store less data than Snes games that the batteries would theoretically last longer (which would explain my miraculous Zelda cart).

Find the blue ring.

Don't be afraid of using a map, or at very least, just a small guide of where are every dungeon based from the game's starting point (A mexican Club Nintendo magazine I used for the game had the location of every dungeon written in text, based on the game's starting point, but offered zero help for the dungeons themselves, basically telling the reader "do it yourself, faget" but with polite words).

The dungeon map can actually help a bit more or less decide which wall may be bombable and which might not.
