No. It's not healthy on any level.

No. It's not healthy on any level.
I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't care for triple jumps. I almost never find them useful in-game and they're awkward to execute. Hated doing them in Mario 64, and to this day I still do in modern Mario games. Fortunately, they aren't required for anything these days, so I just safely ignore it.
More of a sideflip/backflip guy myself. And in this game, Tornado Jumps are my new go-to move.

Oh and another move that greatly enhance the games is the spin!
In the galaxy games it's lifesaving and there's whole places made for it.
In the 2D games, they're actually built into the rythm of the levels, they're so great.
A bit of a bummer it's not in this in the same way so far
I know
I cared about it in 3D land, but now I barely use it.
Heck I don't remember using it much in the WiiU games :s
Healthy, no way, but I've seen a lot creepier out there...
I found them pretty useless in SM64, just fun to execute to see how high you could get. The game I found them the most useful in was NSMBU, especially in challenge mode:

Yeah, it's not terribly useful in this one, except for getting to higher areas for certain green stars. It is super fun to use, though.

There are so many opportunities in 3D World where the triple jump would have come in handy, probably making it much easier. Also, it would help with just getting around in general. There's no denying have all the Mario 64 moves is just fun. And to me fun is the most important element in a 3D Mario game.
There isn't any dlc planned for the game.

When people start talking about the lore surrounding her I just figuratively back out of the room.
Got nothing against Space Peach herself though.
That's true, Challenge Mode was a thing of beauty. I still don't like actually doing triple jumps though, useful or not. -_____-
Beat Champion's Road with all 5 characters, no Tanooki suit, then we can talk.
Is this possible at all? Or should we have a Spoiler Thread, or PAL Thread?

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.
Whenever I see something like this I think, "I would love to find this person 10 or 15 years from now, show them this post, and see how much they cringe."

Spin the analog stick in circles a few times, then jump.
I'm not saying that we need to be that concerned about it but come on the game isn't even out everywhere no need to be that specific about post game content!
Heck I know you probably wouldn't like people talkign about postgame boss of Bravely default before the game is even out in the US, no?
I'm guessing it's when you twirl the control stick, which makes Mario do a "twirl". Jump while doing this and he'll spin in the air with a more...graceful descent.
I discovered it by accident, actually.
Well, you can also rotate the stick to make your character spin and then pull off a spnning jump.
Most of it has been spoiled for us already though. It's ok, nothing shocking

The levels in Super Mario 3D World are as complex as the levels in the Galaxy games...if you took every Galaxy star and made it its own level. The structure of the Galaxy games the way you go back to a galaxy to get stars makes the levels seem more complex, but in the end they aren't.
As for replayability, I think the levels are more replyable because of the structure of the power-ups in the games, the levels are less linear, there's more stuff to discover. I go into more detail here.

Worlds 3 and 4 once again show how these Mario games start tame and get better.
Beep Block Skyway. Getting every double cherry Luigi to the end of that level is the first time I've felt legitimately challenged by this game.

OMG an error occurred during the payment, fixed instantly (wrong VISA) but now I don't know if Amazon will ship it tomorrow. Nevermind, I can buy one and sell the other, maybe I can make a gift from my site. That's my fucking hype level...
Contact amazon immediately.

They said that everything is ok now. I live near their stock and I've got Amazon Prime, there is hope considering that normally they keep my games from arriving too early.
Edit: no, they just said that it's coming next Wednesday, guess I'm going to abort everything and buy it with my bare paws

Oh God, I'm a little kid again. What joy... so pretty to look at and so good to control. This is going to be amazing, now I'm gonna get a few friends over since I have a lot of beer to use as a bribe.
I think triple jumping would have been great because in the first few worlds I always tried to do triple jumps and that spin from the NSMB series only to end up dying. On the other hand having no triple jump made the a game a bit more difficult. Reaching certain stamps and stars would have been a lot less challenging. Getting the gold flag pole would have been less frustrating. I'm sort of glad they didn't include it at this point.
I have both. I've only played the first dungeon in Zelda and I've completed 3D World. As a huge Zelda fan, I'm going to say to get 3D World. Zelda is definitely great and all, but 3D World put a huge smile in my face and is just what the Wii U needed. If you want pure platforming bliss then this is it.

I trust you alright dax! I wasn't very clear though, could be talking about WW (which I also have to finish btw)
Hehe, I like to finish one game at a time and I really enjoy ALBW so far, but just glancing at the cover of this I think I need to go against tradition here

You can bounce on the canon balls, or come back with cat power up and climb the walls with the arrows

Thanks, I'll try that later today
Note when bouncing, you jump once from the bottom and hold the button. Your character will auto bounce off anything it hits so you don't have to time any button presses.

When I played, it was Super Luigi 3D World. Except when I needed to switch characters to press character specific buttons.
More 3D World would be very welcoming though!
