I remember almost all the tunes and can't remember many of the Galaxy sweeping ones.
The Galaxy games' music was very good but the music in this game is topnotch.
:lol
what in the fuck
Oh dear. lol

I played it quite a bit with a friend this afternoon. What a fantastic game, it's much better than I expected. The 3D Land gameplay and the multiplayer works extremely well, in the New Mario games, you don't have enough room, it's always a mess, but here with all the space, it works perfectly, it must be a mess with four player, but at two player it's perfect.
Other than that, the game plays like a charm, it looks amazing and runs super smooth, the soundtrack is amazing (I love its cheerful jazzy feel, I didn't liked the soundtracks of the galaxy games too much, they felt too forced to me, like all those hollywood movies for kids), and the level design is godly. Every level feel fresh and bring a new exciting idea, it's amazing how Nintendo can put a game like that after milking the franchise these last few years, they are definitely the kings of plateform games. Out of all the awesome 2D sidescrollers that gets released these days, nothing comes close, nothing. Nintendo is one a league of their own here.
Sorry GTA V and The Last of Us, but Super Mario Mario 3D World is the GOTY.
I really love how there's absolutely no bullshit in there, it's just pure, awesome gameplay. No annoying and intrusive narrative or tutorials, no shitty overpriced DLC (maybe they'll come later though...), no annoying day one updates that take forever to download, 60 FUCKING FPS with no slowdown, crisp visuals, no loading times. I wish there were more games like that, all video games should be as smooth and perfect as that.

Ro-boo-tnik is amazing
I think I'm going to have nightmares.

I finally received my copy today (Thanks, Amazon.) and had a chance to play the first world and a half. My depth perception is a little iffy but I've loved every level I've played so far. The game looks beautiful and the little touches of nostalgia are balanced out nicely with plenty of new things to see and do. I've only tried out Mario and Peach so far but I can't wait to get back to it later and play the others.
Incredible
Luck and miiverse connectivity. They're not built into the game or anything, they're just ghosts from miiverse that are particularly speedy at beating th elevels.

Yeah, I know that, but my world maps are all full of various Miis talking about this and that. It's definitely not an issue with connectivity to the service. Pretty weird that I haven't run into any in levels proper.
So I just realized the flagpole of the levels you have cleared changes to yellow if u manage to reach the top. Is there any good reason to strive for this except this colouring change? Doesnt really see it well when u collect the three stars even, so dont think I will stress much with it unless it unlocks something awesome.
If you want to see everything the game has to offer you should try to get it on every level.
You will want to hit the top of every flagpole eventually, but it doesn't make that big a difference the first time you play through the levels.
Man, the texture on the green portion of Bowser's shell is probably one of my favorite textures in videogames.
This is both amazing and very disturbing lol.
They've only shown up for my when I replay a level.
The analog stick is a must for precise controls. The d pad is a pita to use. But I guess most have a nunchick anyway

I actually like using the Wii-Remote, I find it most precise since the game primarily is designed with strict, diagonal-based level design in mind.

- There are a few stages that require the Gamepad, but these only have to be played if you're going for 100% completion.
- With 1 to 3 players, you can use any combination of controllers. With 4 players, I think one person has to use the Gamepad.
- IMO, the Gamepad, Pro Controller, Classic Controller Pro, and Remote + Nunchuck are all fine. The Remote alone and the original Classic Controller are not ideal due to how crouching works on them.

I can imagine Bowser in a pinstripe suit as the owner of a seedy bar and that music playing in the background.
There is about a second going from the map to the character select screen, 4 seconds at a minimum on the character select screen and then a second after that while you get to the level.

I'm having a really hard time dragging myself away from this. I keep saying, "Okay, just one more level..."
I can't believe how bad this game is. Nobody even knows.

hmm, i have been using the gamepad's d pad exclusively and have had no problems. i've gathered everything and now i'm just going back and passing each stage with every character.

It's not bad with the tanooki suit.

And done!
Awewome game. The humor, setting and just everything could be the beginning of a wonderful new nintendo era. The gameplay, music, animation.. everything just fits.
Wonderful. Would love to see a mario rpg with these production values.
(post-game)Boss Blitz was hard
Also the time when I finally beat it, I stupidly didn't grab one of the green stars, so I had to do it again :\
the next time I cheated by grabbing two Cat Bells before starting though, so it was a lot easier
I'm there now and gave up for the time being. It's more of a time management issue. My heart sank when I got all the keys with seconds remaining only to see I wasn't done.

Done? Your save file has 1 star. And only 188 green stars collected. Keep going!
I saw some lovely credits.
Game completed stage one. ^^
Agreed! The extreme poses and snappy pacing of the cutscenes is really reminescent of the older cartoons, like Popeye, that Mario is partially inspired by. Mario and the gang are determined but upbeat, Bowser's an overconfident blowhard who's fun to fight, and the whole world is alive and bouncing along to the music. It's an atmosphere and an attitude that feels sorely missing from the library of most games these days.
I agree. I'm also at world 4 and I just think this is too similar to the NSMB games for my taste, with the overworld layout, Timer, less moves, small levels, etc. The art direction is incredible tho.
