Whoa, what? I've been avoiding info on this game till today, so I haven't heard about any of this. What kind of penalty are we talking about?
Amazon IS doing release day deliveries, got my copy of SM3DW delivered today!
He's asking, he's not saying there is a penalty.
I doubt the game would penalize you (I.E. make your file not sparkle) if the box appears. Just don't use the invincible Tanooki power-up. I remember I failed enough times on certain levels in 3D Land, the box appeared, and I -still- got the sparkles on my save file when all was said and done. It's fine.
Psh, must be a Best Buy thing, 3D World was ready for me to buy just by walking in to Target this morning, no problems at all
But in defense of my local Best Buy, I got my XL back in Spring when it was on sale, 2DS and Pokemon when they came out, with no problems too.Agreeing with everyone here.
Anybody have gifs of pixelized Peach and other characters on the map menu yet? It's a nice touch.

Cleared my 8 gig fridge just to download this. Now, to convince the lady friend to join in the fun...
played a bit during lunch. holy FUCK all over my face. It's SO good. I love it. It's a mix of all the shit that made past marios great.
As for the next mario game, I'd love to see a return to Mario 64 style hub/open world levels with multiple goals, but in a grounded reality like this. IDEALLY an open world mario set in the whole mushroom kingdom.

Those 15 minutes will last for eternity.
Keep watching the title screen, there are multiple vignettes (daytime, night, sunset and rain).I'm only at the title screen and I'm already awestruck. Amazing

Uncanny. I'm still only on the first world, but for the first time ever, a game is giving me the exact same feeling that I had when I played Mario World for the first time as a five year old.
On top of that, I'm exploring more than I did in any "real" (what a joke) 3D Mario game.
All of the naysayers and trolls should be truly ashamed of themselves. This game is all-time.

I already have pretty bad road rage but this LA traffic that is getting between me and my Mario is shifting it to another gear.
Fire Emblem and Pokemon
Actually, 3D Land did just that, just like NSMBW did with Super Guide. If the box shows up at all, you lose the bonus sparkle.

I agree. The first time I went through it, I nearly ran out of time because I spent so much time dicking around and poking into every possible area

Hey guys -- just ordered this. What's the consensus on best controller to use? Is it worth getting a Pro Controller for?
GamePad has been great so far. I haven't tried any other controller and don't think I want to at this point in time.
I think it's worth getting the Pro if you want to play co-op. Although I hear Wiimote + Nunchuck work pretty well for player 2 as well.
Enjoying the game a lot so far. Definitely feels like a step above 3d land and I love the cat suit, although it does make me miss moves like the dive when I'm vanilla Mario even more than usual. A few other notes-
-The time thing really needs to go with some of these levels. There are plenty that obviously designed to encourage you to look for secrets and here I am running out of time. I agree that it makes sense on some levels were the clock is intended to be part of threat, but not every level needs the timer.
-The game relies on 2d or pseudo 2d perspective a little too much imo. A lot of these levels feel like 2d levels where the 3rd dimension is used primarily just to have wiggle room for multiplayer. I thought the Galaxies did a great job of focused linearity while also feeling 3d, but this tips a bit too far back in the 2d direction.
-Straight up gorgeous game. And the music is just as good as I hoped. I still like Galaxy's ost better, but there are some great new songs here.
-I feel like I'm tearing through this one pretty fast. I don't know if it's the ease (although 3d mario is rarely challenging in the first place) or the amount of total content or how the content is structured pre or post game, but I'm already in world 5 after playing just this afternoon. The star based games definitely felt more dense.

Jesus Christ level 3-2. That level plus catsuit is the most fun I've had in a Mario game ever.
I have never been happier in my life to find a checkpoint
i died here like 20 times.
My Mario skills have waned
Same here. I played like an hour and a half yesterday. I'm having a really hard time waiting for the end of the workday.

Just finished this one. My god that music was something else.Jesus Christ level 3-2. That level plus catsuit is the most fun I've had in a Mario game ever.

BTW, don't know if its been mentioned but if you spin the control stick around really fast to run in a tight circle you'll character will start swirling around. I couldn't stop doing it as toad once I found out that was a thing.

2-4 is a great playground. Now I get why that was the demo level. Playing with the baseball is entirely too much fun.
2 hours in, in world 3 have 36 green stars so far...WOW ..jut WOW the music in the ghost house brought tears to my eyes..it's sooooooo good + the raining effect =WOW
some negatives I have so far, ( I'm playing this co-op with my 6 year old brother ) ..co-op is a mess for this game sometimes but that could be cause my brother is inexperienced at games..but ....I already had game over screens like 6 times ..wish we didn't have to share lives =/
2. The timer is ruining some stuff, I wanna explore everything but the damn timer keeps running out.
