Definitely no load times from the player point of view. I was just suggesting how EAD might be masking the load times. Very well done by them.

Well, unless I'm missing something I finished all the levels in the game
. Clocked in at 160 deaths up until now. Collect-a-thon time!
I'd say I enjoyed the game, greatly. It was fun, it's truly amazing, but it's not really mind-blowing, revolutionary or earth-shattering. Moreover, I feel insatiate, which is really sad as the next 3D Mario will be released who knows when. Oh well. The game is truly fantastic, but it's missing something and it isn't without it's flaws. Oh and I'd love there to be more levels like
At this moment I'd say my personal ranking would be SMG2 > SM64/SMG > SM3DW >> SMS > SM3DL, though SM3DW is very close behind.
except for Crown World

Star-2, Bowser-1/Flower-11, dynamic levels that are challenging, but not unfair.

Just keep going back into levels and setting yourself times, they'll appear. You tend to get ones that just slightly beat what you've set.

I dont get how people can defend Nintendo not putting online in this. Of course its better to play it locally, and it is definitely designed that way, but this should be the players option - not all of us have anybody locally to play with, so for many of us, online multiplayer is the only viable multiplayer at all - and its just ridiculous and frankly undefendable that Nintendo stubbernly refuses to add it.
This. I rarely get to play local multi as it is, and I'd be lucky to just get a 2P game going let alone 4. I do appreciate that Nintendo stands by local multiplayer. Playing NintendoLand at my dorm with a bunch of friends last year was an incredibly great time and some of the best fun I've had playing a multiplayer game in recent memory, but at the same time I don't think it's fair to keep these great multiplayer games away from online just because it works best locally.
I think it's actually damaging to Nintendo that they don't embrace this, because I'm sure a lot of people didn't enjoy NintendoLand as much as they could because they couldn't play the multiplayer mini games as much, which in turn probably hurts word of mouth.

These days local multiplayer usually gets ditched in favour of online multiplayer. It's rarely both. Nintendo chooses to design experiences around local multiplayer. You like online, but personally I wish more games had local multiplayer like SM3DW instead of online modes which die out after a few months.

Second day impressions:
Game got a lot better, I have to admit! World 5 is pretty cool. The first few worlds are too simplistic.

i maxed out my lives by finding a shell autojump trick in the second level on my first go. 10 Minutes
Climb up the left wall just before the long stretch at the end.
That's easy.
1. I have plenty of local multiplayer options, so I don't care about having an online option.
2. Nintendo doesn't feel that that the hampered online play experience is a product worth putting out.
3. Probably most important. The majority of the market buying these games don't care if online play is excluded. Just in the same way many AAA games don't have suitable local multiplayer, and couch co-op online features because their market expects to play their games online.
I need to find a YT vid of someone doing this so I can learn how. Ive had issues with it ever since I was a kid playing the original SMB. I gotta stock up on lives for the post game worlds.

Its all about the timing. Get the turtle shell as close to the wall as possible then hop on it

For me, this game was amazing right from the first level. Of course I had the benefit of starting with my best buddy and playing through the entire game two player, which had a huge impact. I imagine if you played this game single player it wouldn't be nearly as exciting. So my initial impression is certainly going to differ from others in that regard. With that in mind, that my very first touch of 3D World was that of a two player adventure, it immediately shot up past the Galaxy games for me. I don't think I've smiled or laughed so much at the crazy shit that could only happen with two or more people.
Like I said before, it's like a little bit of Smash Bros. in my 3D Mario, which works surprisingly well. Even with the brilliant GTAV and LOU, this is my favorite game this year.

I thought that the Wii Pad button at the bottom was switching the camera to be controlled by the gyro. I had no idea it actually gave you full-on free camera control as opposed to just changing the angle.
Game just got a lot more cool to me. Just wish I didn't have to turn it on every time I enter a level.

WHAT? Holy damn I'm going to try this out!
Okay, I think I decided I'm going to chill out with some Tearaway before tackling Champion's Road. After getting wrekt by Mystery House Marathon last night, I need a break before diving into what will surely be an even bigger massacre of lives.
edit: lol haven't turned on my Vita in months, here come the firmware updates...

Are there any other online co-op platformers where the characters can jump off each other and interact? The only other one that I recall is the Ratchet and Clank game and that had a lot of clipping issues and lag. (Still a fun game though).
Reading your impressions as youve played through has been a blast =D
It get's better ;D
Well I tried going back into the same level multiple times (one where my own ghost has appeared before) and not a single Mii appeared. Ah well. Hopefully they'll appear for me one day as speedrunning was what kept me coming back to 3DLand.
I'm up to World 5. I started playing last night and stayed up until 1am. This game is so bright and colorful that I felt at one point like my eyes were going to melt from the brightness or maybe I was just really tired. Seriously though, this game is really colorful especially in a really dark room.

Yeah, I've liked this game since the first level. In fact, I thought the first two worlds were better than the first two worlds of the Galaxy games (overall).
Awesome avatar.
Do you have it set to show them? In the start menu click on the N in the orange box and it'll let you turn it on or off.
Also propeller head and skate at the same time lol.

So that Champion's Road...
No joke, the constant use of that music is like the main reason that i'm tired of underground stages.
It's wrecking my shit, It took me an age to figure out an effective way of overcoming the final set of beep blocks where they form that staircase like shape, got as far as the wall jump section before calling it quits for now. I will make Toad a champion of champions dammit, I just gotta relax for a bit, that stage ain't good for my health.

What, not even just general ghost Miis? Because time trial ones are rarer, but I haven't had an old level without a ghost Mii at all...
Have you checked the Nintendo Network setting on the pause screen while on the world map?
Yes and since I work in IT I even tried turning it off and on again.
No. I've only seen three ghost Miis in total and they were all of mine when I went back into a level straight away.

Also, best spot for the classic 1-up trick - https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYQHAAABAADYUV6q1_YOJw
A Tanooki suit is pretty much mandatory for that stage so be sure to bring one. A cat suit can't hurt either as there are some portions where it will certainly help with climbing.
