Games on Nintendo consoles you can beat in a day

Some games I actually prefer no save. Star fox 64 is so good to me because you had to go through a whole system of planets in one go, and if you lose, tough luck, start over, and feel free to try the many other routes through the system you could take.

I beat Pokémon XD in a day, but that's because I was borrowing it from a friend who also wouldn't lend me his memory card, and since I was playing on a Wii it couldn't save normally. I spent the whole 24 hours playing and I was speeding through it but it was still a ton of fun for me!

A lot of Kirby games can be beaten quick, but besides Return to Dreamland, I don't think I've beaten and in a day, but to be fair I haven't wanted to. Most times, I limit myself to only playing an hour on the first day, and then going as much as I want the second day just to at least make it last a bit longer. Doesn't increase the time by much, but it increases it by enough.

Recently completed The Princess Guide in 12 hours so, while not exactly a day in real time (I played it over several days), I could've quite easily beat it in a day if I wanted to. I can also beat Fire Emblem Awakening in two hours but that wasn't on my first try. Other than those two, a lot of older games seem to be completable in such a short period of time, from the Wii/DS era... possibly before then as well. Games used to be so much less complex than they are now.

Actually, I remember beating the DS version of LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean in only one day, 100% and all, but that might've been two or three days. Certainly remember it didn't take very long at all. Used to own a lot of LEGO games, all of them seemed to be quite short.
