so since 2011-very early 2013 I was playing on my sister's 3ds like crazy. She got the super Mario 3D land cartridge when she got her 3ds, so I was playing that most of the time, along with other demos and stuff.
In February 2013, my sister was trying to charge her 3ds. But when she went back to check later, the battery power was still low. So her and my mom thought the 3ds could be broken, so they went to the electronics store.
Thankfully they found out that the charger was burned, the 3ds was fine. I don't exactly remember what happened after this, either the 3ds I have was on sale or I wanted my own 3ds so badly that I got the 3ds with super Mario 3D land preinstalled. Yup, I was that obsessed. And I still use it as of now. My sisters 3ds is fine though, and collects dust
