I just butt stomp most ground blocks, but it's useful when they're set into the wall.dr3upmushroom said:

Bought it this afternoon and played a little bit. It's really good so far. It feels much closer to the 2D Marios so far than either of the Galaxy games. I found the warp pipe in 1-2, which was a nice call back to the original Super Mario Bros.
Oh yeah, wanted to ask... what does the update that came on the cart actually do?

Just picked this up!
Quick question: how long is this game? I know since it's a Mario game it has a lot of replay value, but still want to know how long the first playthrough will last me.
Thanks!
Excited!

Beating the first 8 worlds is about a 10-14 hour trip, I think.
But then you basically open up a second set of 8 worlds.

Probably not. I've had it since about noon, it's about 4:00, and I'm almost done with world 7 and have every star coin so far.AceBandage said:
It's probably about 15-20 hours total, though, from what I read.
Also I am super pro, so.

You're wrong, AceBandage is right. It's definitely
8 extra worlds

Are you trying to unspoiler everyone by providing false info? Because it's the opposite of what you said.User33 said:
If you're thinking the secret stuff you get to do after beating it is like New Super Mario Bros. Wii or Super Mario World? Nope. Way better!

3-1 is pretty fucking awesome! Great music and level design. Man this game is so cool.
I really like the 3D that is assigned to the up input on the DPad. It looks better to me, and I like how the 3D doesn't break nearly as easy when you move the 3DS either left or right. Would love to see this method put in more games.

I just beat 3-2 and, so far, the only level I've really liked is 3-1. It's the most reminiscent of Mario 64's open exploration style levels.

I don't know where in the world you got that impression, cut that time in half and you may be right, and even then it's being generous. I've been playing for two hours and I just finished World 4. The game's great and all, but no way should it take anyone here 10-14 hours to finish the first 8 worlds.AceBandage said:
I just got to World 5, taking a quick break so I haven't actually started playing it but from the background and what I can see of the first two levels it seems to be a
themed desert world?
The last level in World 3 was a bit of an emotional roller coaster. Initial disappointment when
I got to the boss, which is the same as the world before. Then I beat him and a pipe appeared and I was like "Awesome! He was just a mini-boss! What an awesome tease!" And then I went though it and was immediately reminded that the boss stages have flag poles too.
Oh well, at least World 4 has a different boss, I'm hoping there's not a pattern of fighting each boss twice though.

Yeah, that level totally has a strong 64 feel to it. The Star Coins were in pretty good locations in that level.grap3fruitman said:

2-2 where is the 3rd coin. Err spoiler answer please

I don't think this needs spoiling, since it's going to help people more than anything else:
The final castle requires 90 star coins to enter.
So start saving up!
EDIT: Nevermind, I'm not done yet, apparently.
Yeah, it's an even 100.

Hrm, I've got a copy ready for pickup at Best Buy, but weirdly I'm having a hard time getting motivated to drive over and get it. I think talk of how easy it is deflated my hype a little. I appreciate that lack of difficulty doesn't affect everyone's enjoyment, but I'm not a fan of having to wait for post game content to provide a decent challenge, which seems to be Nintendo's M.O. these days. Not to mention I'm a bit wary of the vanilla aesthetic. I'm hoping my lack of excitement is just setting me up for a pleasant surprise. I mean, it's still Mario after all, right?
Seriously though, I really need to get off my ass and pick it up already.

Only played a few stages, but loving how the 3D effect actually means something here. Like the little soft start tutorial thing where you're running around has blocks arranged so that it would appear to be an optical illusion in 2D, but you can see where they split in 3D. It's awesome!

This game is pure Mario. The only complaints I've seen is the low difficulty and the repeated bosses. And the first point is rectified in the post-game content. It's quite simply one of the best reasons to own a 3DS right now.rhino4evr said:

God, this is probably the first time (in any medium) that I've been truly impressed by 3D, but it's such a shame that it's so inconsistent, at least for my eyes. I generally have to hold the system closer to my face than is preferable, and the slightest adjustments ruin the effect.
Jumping toward the screen with the propeller block is genuinely exhilarating.

Cool, hopefully it ends up working retroactively with SSFIV and RE Mercs. If not, I guess Tekken and Kart are a sure thing. Maybe that other game thats like Diablo that i'm forgetting the name of.
Anyway: It's Mario Time.
EDIT: And as soon as i'm at the title screen, i'm really like the new theme.
