General Mario Thread

I heard about those, but I didn't know they were supposed to be Hell Valley beasts or something like that.

I think they're actually supposed to be trees, since that's what their filenames say... but I dunno.

Trees that follow you around.

They're part of the background though... not that it makes anything better.

@Brokenshell 44 - That is really old news.

New NSMBU footage.

Do the Baby Yoshis ever turn into Adult Yoshis? It doesn't make much sense if they can't.

I am loving that level design.

Oh, I noticed something. Enemies and items don't dance to the BAHs anymore! Thank god!

Hopefully there will be levels optimized for single player as DLC or whatever, since multiplayer-optimized levels are too streamlined and easy for single player.

So happy that the 3-Up Moons are making a comeback.

I'm just glad Player 1 is no longer confined to Mario.. Finally I can play single player as Blue Toad/Stehphen King mii

Do we know how confined multiplayer is, in that respect? I know anyone can be the Mii of their choice, but can Player 1 be Luigi, Player 2 be Yellow Toad, Player 3 be Mario, and Player 4 be Blue Toad?

Also, this was posted in the Paper Mario 3DS thread:

That music...

It looks like Jump stickers will be best suited for dealing tons of damage, while the hammer stickers will be good for groups of enemies.

Fire Flowers and Ice Flowers will probably be good for hitting weaknesses.

Pretty sure we can.

Player one can be whoever they want now. even in single player .

I guess we can use our Wario and Waluigi Miis if anything. (And Mario Miis for Player 1).

Oh wait, never mind. Enemies and items still dance to the BAHs! Just not in challenge mode. Uhhhhhgggggghhhh...

But why don't you like them dancing?

Perhaps because it messes up his stomping precision?

Huh.

oh dear

Now see here, the enemies dance and jump to the bahs! It's pretty predictable, so long as you have the music on, right? Unfortunately, if you have to play with the sound off for some reason, (i.e., someone's in the room on the phone or something, or in the case of handheld games, you don't want the sound blaring out in public) you can't tell when the enemies dance/jump up to the music. So you try to jump on this one Goomba here. SURPRISE! He jumped up right before you were about to land on him, and now you got hurt instead! And you had no way to tell that was going to happen. And this can happen even with the sound on, because you forgot that BAH was coming up and mistimed that jump on that Koopa because he stopped for one second, and landed in front of him as a result (and proceeded to get hit thereafter). It's an issue several people have with the series.

Basically, what he said.

Oh no!

Have some more footage. You see a bit more of the world map this time around.

The Paper Mario video is private...

That looks like the footage from that Japanese Nintendo Direct.

It wasn't when I first posted it.
