This leaves the following as games I have not yet tackled. In italics are games that belong to my wife (I've helped her play these games, but they're her thing, not really mine.)

Lego Harry Potter 1-4
Lego Harry Potter 5-7
Lego Indiana Jones 2
Lego Lord of the Rings
Lego Marvel Super Heroes

As a point of clarification, fighting games like Street Fighter Alpha, as well as racing games like F-Zero GX, can be extremely challenging and I wouldn't even say that I "mastered" them. They're going in the list cause I have to play them, maybe not to completion, but certainly to satisfaction. For instance, I bolded out Beatles Rock Band, but I never downloaded any additional albums and I didn't play all the songs with all the instruments. Rock Band 2 is a game I love and I continue to play it. Finally, if I ever get around to buying a decent fight stick controller, I may very well revisit Street Fighter Alpha Anthology.

So after finishing Super Paper Mario, the next game is Street Fighter Anniversary Collection for PS2.
