Super Mario 3D World |OT| Next-gen starts right meow!

Going through the levels again does highlight how tight levels are but playing through each level 5 times also made me realize that most of the levels don't have the complexity to warrant so many replays.
@CassSept that's another big one for me. What I loved about galaxy was the feeling that I was beginning an adventure. 3D world honestly feels a bit like a massive level pack to me. Not that this is a bad thing. The variety in levels is without a doubt the game's greatest strength, I just wish they had done a little something extra.
I feel like it's the total opposite for me.
The levels are so much better this time and you can FINALLY keep your powerups so you can tackle the same challenge with multiple tactics.
The level select is the 2nd best I've seen in a Mario game, it's like Mario 3 but better.
They need to put extensive shortcuts like early Mario games though.
That was great in NSMBW when if you were replaying the game from scratch you could just say fuck it I'm not going to do level 2 or 5.

Getting this bad boy a day early makes it that much sweeter. Thanks ShopTo!
Same here that one was pretty tricky. I beat the castle with 0 lives and tiny Mario. I was sweatin' like a mofo.
I agree, loved the idea but the execution could have been better. I actually preferred the final fight in NSMBU which I find myself surprised to be saying.

Oh shit, I would get it of only for the cover and cd art.
Unfortunately I just spend my last points on the relaxation set haha.
Yeah, I wonder why they dropped it from the 3D series, considering the New series has it.
Speaking of which, I was wondering if others here did the green star challenges in SMG/SMG2 and if so, if they found it to be challenging and worthwhile. I did not do the post-game in either game and was wondering if it's worth it to go back and do it. You have to beat every level again in the levels you're collecting the green star in, right?
(BTW, love your new tag!)
Eh, it's okay. The green stars are a loot like the ones in 3d land, you really need to go out of the regular path to get most of them. But the pacing was slow with all the messages and you can only get one per run.
Thanks for the info. Does the level end when you get the green star, or do you still need to beat the level?

Just finished world 1.
my biggest fear has come true, mario is about as agile now as a tank.
No triple jump, back flip is almost pointless and he doesn't control as fluid due to the 8 way movement. I'm usually triple jumping, back-flipping and wall jumping throughout 3d mario levels. this game makes it almost impossible to do so.
what the hell nintendo, i put up with this for 3dland. but i expect far more movement options for a console release. And that timer can go to hell, absolutely pointless.
I'm sure i will get more used to it but first impressions are that everything other than the move set of mario and the timer is fantastic.

Most of the final bosses in other recent Mario games are better.
I feel the exact opposite way. The cinematic elements of those other games are only impressive on the first viewing. After that, it's just something that gets in the way of the actual game and makes it more of a chore to pick up and replay. They're great games but they just have more downtime.
I've already gotten infinitely more post-100% play out of 3D World than any previous 3D Mario. It has the most addictive quality I've seen in a Mario game since the NES.
Please kick up a fuss about it in your Club Nintendo surveys, guys. I have so many unspent coins. God forbid they actually put something up worth spending them on.
Because.
Sometimes I wish Nintendo would create a new IP just to shut up people with thousands of expectations from the past.

Damn, ALBW arrived a day early from Amazon and this hasn't even been dispatched yet. :<
I hope I'll get it tomorrow.

Got it today, like I said earlierI have only played the first five levels, but damn I haven't smiled this much while playing a game in a while.
Because levels are designed in a way that triple jumping could occasionally fuck up a jump. Levels aren't built for it.

Sometimes I wish Nintendo would strip Mario of all his abilities save for jumping on enemies, breaking bricks, and shooting fireballs. Games in which you have to master all of the abilities presented to you are superior to games that give you tons of powers but never ask you to become competent at using half of them.
But I know that will never happen and am capable of enjoying what I'm given.

It ends right there, so you can only get one per run.

So my main man Mario can float and Attack.
Ah, interesting. I didn't realize there was more than one per level. Anyway, thanks for the info!

one per regular star...?
comet stars?
Look at where the dudes who spit out spiky dildos are throwing them..
You fucking don't fucking touch my fucking wall fucking jump !
It allows you to slowly fall and can make platforming a bit easier by letting you adjust your fall more accurately. The cat suit doesn't work as well for stages that don't have anything to climb.

I wish Yoshi was a playable character ala Mario 64 DS. I'm not terribly enthusiastic about Rosaline to be honest. One of the least interesting characters to me. I'm not sure why Nintendo keeps placing her in these different Mario games.

Because some of these people are so dedicated that they are willing to buy entire consoles to play as her. Nintendo knows how to take advantage of this.

The Rosalina internet lovefest continues to be one of those bizarre things I'll never quite grasp

*cools down*
Seriously though I agree with you (and that's probably why I like the nsmb games so much).
But seriously walljump saved my ass more than I'm afraid to say.
I mean you miss a jump and then you're in a frantic battle against gravity to avoid failling into that hole...
Ectic fun and so satisfying!

Haha, amazing. I appreciate his dedication. As long as he's (she's?) not hurting anyone, I suppose.
