nice tag, lol
It's from an #ImWithReggie tweet yesterday
Oh, thanks. Interesting, I wonder what it could be. Too soon for a new Mario & Luigi game or LM3. Maybe 3DL2 with playable Luigi or that rumored LM2 port to Wii U. Can't seem to think of what else it could be besides Luigi appearing in Mario sports/party games.
ETA: I suppose it could also be a new Paper Mario for Wii U also starring Luigi.
It bothered me too but I got over it later on in the game. I can see why they did it. It's much easier to get the power up for that level. You'd always be stuck with mushrooms if you were small Mario every time you played the game. Another thing that bothered me is that I can't go into a level, grab the power up and back out without having to finish the level.

Buy the game and stare at the cover?
You can also pretend scratching the club nintendo code is a lottery or something, hang the instruction poster on the wall, and wear the disc as bijou
My haikus keep getting the thread buried!
On topic, here's what I'm thinking tentatively for our post-game challenge run:
No coins:
No touching enemies:
No power-ups:
None of the above:
I'd like to make it as difficult as possible for us. I'd love any suggestions to make it more difficult. Am I using the right character for each challenge? I want to pick whoever is going to be most difficult to pull off each challenge with. My wife and I play the game single player and switch off levels.

Isnt that the Brawl Mystery House? I think you just have to defeat all of the enemies(along with grabbing the green Star) in each section

You know, unrelated to my post above, I was just wondering if anyone did something crazy like this in one of the Mystery Houses:
It's the Mystery House with the baseball. In the first part, we both jumped down the slide to grab the Star before time ran out but slid to our deaths. I know we were supposed to use the baseball but we were so concerned with grabbing the Star in time that we forgot all about that. Of course we got through it after but just thought that was funny. Anyone else have Mystery House stories?

I did the exact same thing =)

I know I definitely did the same thing for that star. Really liked that Mystery House.
Thanks, but seems I was thinking about the level "shiftier Boo Mansion"
Edit: Since I started asking for advice here, I also went and used a guide to get the only star I missed in the regular first 8 worlds. It was the first one in 5-3. Yeah, Im glad I guided for that.
The odd thing to me is that we don't automatically start as "super" when beginning a stage. Sometimes, I intentionally kill myself at the start of a stage if I am small just to get the free "super".

Very incorrect. 3D world and 3D land are notably different. The platforming mechanics are different ie; you get a boost after running a while and there are four different characters with different mechanics to each of them.
Multiple new power ups such as the goomba suit, cherry, flashlight, and cannon are brand new. It's not just the cat suit. The giant mushroom also makes its debut in 3D.
The level design is far better. They are bigger, more varied and fleshed out, and have more collectables. Clear pipes, clever uses of shadow and light, trapeezes, baseballs and exploding soccer balls, plessie and far more. There are a huge variety of enviorments compared to 3D land. Far More types of bosses too.
A large variety of new and old types of enemies are added that vary the gameplay significantly.
The world map is freely roamable. There are branching paths. You can find a decent amout of secret levels, challenges, powerups, and rewards If you explore enough. There are cute little captain toad puzzles and star challenge levels that appear on the world map, which are great fun too.
The music is fully orchestrated and original this time as well. Miiverse integration with stamps and ghost miis also adds some social elements.
There is one thing, and one thing only, that I like best in 3D Land than I do 3D World - the 3D effect. It is much easier to line up your jumps and attacks in this "universe" with the 3D because of the extra depth that you can recognize. That said, you get used to 3D World without the 3D after a few tries, but still. It was something I had to get used to just a little bit after spending so much time with 3D Land.
That, and i will add that i miss ropes. The spring rope sections have always been a joy for me and i soley miss them here. BRING BACK ROPES!!!
I'd say it's likely they removed the ropes as the lack of 3D made it too hard to judge, haha

I think I did that but was able to recover and jump back up.
(Or I might be thinking of something else. Will have to go and try it again.)

I was SUPPOSED to play W101 first when I get my Wii U, but going through this OT really, really makes me want to play this first. I'm at a dilemma.

*First world problems*
Tried to avoid this thread........ finally got the game today............
I am sitting on my couch just shaking my head in disbelief at how fucking brilliant this game is. It's got me smiling ear to ear, nearly in tears when the music starts playing when I ride the plesiosaur down the river......... such mario 64 feels. Wow.......... and then I get to the bottom of the gauntlet, I hop off of the plesiosaur......... and it waves to me. I start laughing so hard and I say "GOOD BYE, MY DINOSAUR FRIEND"..........
Of course, they knew I was going to do this, and via the magic of the microphone, the plesiosaur replies immediately. Amazing.
So far, I am having more fun with this game (in about 2 hours play), than I have with anything in recent memory.

Heh, I do that too. I even exit a stage after losing a powerup I began the stage with to get it back >.>
You joy will only increase as you play on.

Wait what? Is this true?
Holy shit, lol.
And yeah, this game is awesome. You're still in World 1 ...you have no idea...

The last level threw me for a loop, with all of the other levels being so easy I wasn't ready for it. lol
Wait, what? Is this really true?
Played with my 4 year old niece watching today. She giggled when Plessie waved at Princess Peach. She also is someone that has no experience with games outside of iPad. I think Mario is just something universal and timeless.
Cat Coombas were apparently gross though? Here I was thinking they were really cute.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-UP_Studio
I kept telling everyone 1up studio(Brownie Brown) did 3d world when it was announced, but no one believed me. There was no way this was the next real big Mario title created directly by Nintendo. 1up studio was able to pump this game out fast because its based on an existing handheld game using assets already created, so Nintendo could have a Mario title ready for this holiday. This is no different than what they did with New Super Mario Wii: take an existing handheld game, upgrade the graphics, add new power ups, and make it four player. The games fun, but its not a true next gen Mario.

It's absolutely true. I stood next to it for a few minutes. Making sure that it would not say anything at all ............ and then the MOMENT id say something, it'd say goodbye to me in plesio-speak.

I'm not even going to bother!
The same thing would happen if you just blew into the mic. It's still cool though

The rest of the special levels are easy? Damn I must suck. I've been trying to get all the stars and stamps in world flower and its crazy hard for me
I tested this, and blowing does not work. You have to actually talk.
"Guys, the game's fun and it's on a new console... but it's not a true next gen Mario because they based it on a handheld game and just changed a few things. For a Mario game to be considered a true next gen title, it needs to be done from the ground up."

What is a next gen game? I'm not sure many understand what a next gen title is. The fact that you're having fun means something is working. The fact that this game is on the Wii U with amazing levels, music, and art style is more than next gen to me. I'm sure we'll see what's in store for Mario in the future, but for now, just enjoy the game.
Well I would hope a sequel to 3DL didnt remove features of the first!
True! I'm just specifically pointing out that this would count as a continued YOL promotion.
#YOLO
You Only Luigi Once
Also I really did totally forget Luigi was playable in 3DL.
Play both at the same time. On both of your Wii Us.
#onepercentproblems
But seriously--alternate playing them, I do it all the time with games. Right now we're playing Pikmin 3, Lego City, 3DW, Nintendo Land, and on 3DS I'm playing LBW, Dream Team, SMB3, and DKCR3D. I think I'm forgetting a bunch as well.
They are really cute.
From NoA's Twitter:
Also, she's not technically your niece.
Because you're adopted.
Sorry. I was supposed to tell you years ago Sendou and I honestly totally forgot.
