General Mario Thread

Uh, we were talking about Paper Mario Sticker Star dude. And the map doesn't really look natural all stitched up like that. And it was just a random observation of mine. I don't really care about that all too much.

Sticker Star's map reminds me of Super Mario RPG. I'm okay with that.

The comment you made that I replied to came after the video about NSMBU, so...

Hell, I still stand by my statement either way.

I agree that extra worlds would be a good idea for DLC.

Well that makes me sad.

Hey, you're back!

I'm pretty curious why they have Wario's clothes but not Wario himself for NSMBU.

Hi!

I'm more curious why Player 4 Mii's clothes aren't Waluigi's colour scheme.

Wario would be a good unlock for beating the game, to make up for his not-appearance in New Super Mario Bros 2.

Poor Larry. I like Larry.

Darn. I assumed since they made a new grassland theme, most of the soundtrack would be new. And if they had to reuse music, Ghostly Galaxy would be way more fitting.

Galaxy. Hands down.

Oh, Maggy, you are back!

-glomp-

How come you didn't tell everybody about this?

On the topic of Sticker Star: Interesting... It looks like this game is going to encourage exploration, which is something I've always liked to do in video games. I have good feeling about thi-

-facepalm-

Can't see why they gave it that low of a score. o.o I'm currently watching a video from presumably one of the demos, and so far, it looks like it plays a frikkin' lot like The Thousand Year Door, except that the battle system is pretty much solely item-based now (which I don't have a problem with, since those stickers are really goddamn everywhere. >_> To tell the truth, you would be a pretty bad player if you ran out of them... but then again, I can only judge from the first 34 minutes of the game, I don't know how sticker-distribution will be in the later areas of the game) and that the overworld is a lot like that one from Super Mario RPG in that you have a "levelselect"-screen from where you access all areas. So, really nothing which would warrant that 2/5-rate in my eyes, at least from what I've seen. o.o Also, the music is awesome. ^^ I'm already liking the battle theme from it, and they actually did away with the Critical Annoyance of the previous titles by making the musik all off-key and such when low on health. And truth to be told, I laughed out pretty loudly when I heard the "HP Low!"-track xD

Also, Mario's sprite/model has MUCH more poses than in TTYD and SPM, which I really like. Makes him much livelier, since, admittedly, he did look kinda static in the previous two games. ^^"

People have different opinions on things. Please don't rage over review scores. It's stupid, and there's very little point to it.

Really? They don't? Just check the examples in the page I linked .

Yup.

To which part of my comment is your "Yup"? ^^"

To the whole thing .

Oh, okay. xD

So Peach's castle really is the final level. Also has a pretty smart callback since it looks the same as the grasslands in all prior NSMB games.

It will at least be a world that's gonna come really late in the game, judging from what I've seen of the map.

At the time I couldn't, which is why I gave it to you.

Kinda disappointing that World consists of one level. Could have seen some harcore grasslands/Mordor Mushroom Kingdom...

Unless...

Inside Peach's Castle is World 8, where each level is a course from Super Mario 64 reinvisioned as a 2D level!!!

EDIT: Huh? According to Super Mario Wiki, Sparkling Waters is World 3a and Frosted Glacier is World 3b, making Peach's Castle World 7. Interesting...

Perhaps the Peach's Castle level is just so damn huge that it makes up for the fact that it's the only level the last World contains

I'd rather it not be. A Marathon Level would be tedius.

Ohh Ghost ship, and It's beginning to look just like an Ice World. Ohh boy here we go.

Hmm, really looks haphazardly patchworked together.

Personally I don't see the problem in it looking stitched together. Sure, it looks unnatural, but I'd only fault it for that if it were a more serious game. As is, it's silly and colorful and pretty, which is all it needs to be, IMHO of course.

This. Given of how we are talking about world where grabbing 'shrooms makes you big, grabbing flowers makes you shoot fire, and grabbing stars makes you flash garish colors and kill everything you touch, a map like that doesn't look that off. Besides, it looks pretty.

I can deal with patchwork maps, since I've played games that've used them. That said, I'm not too sure how I feel about patchwork maps in HD, but I guess I'll manage.

Makes me wonder if there will be a Lethal Lava Land typed special world since there isn't a lava filled area like World 8 in NSMBW. Also what is the best Lethal Lava Land in a Mario game, a half volcano themed world also counts like the second half of World 8 in NSMB for the DS. Mine would have to be World 8 in New Super Mario Bros. Wii because it really is, the lava filled area beneath a heaven area. Although I do like Melty Molten Galaxy and Melty Monster Galaxy.

The best Mario Lethal Lava Land is the original, of course.
