Yeah. Rotate the stick and you'll start spinning on the ground. Then jump. Similar to Sunshine, but feels a little different.

Through the first two worlds and I absolutely love it. Going to stop for now though so I don't blow through the game way too quickly!

Every single aspect about Chain Link Charge was amazing. Goddamn.
I was being facetious but yeah, the blow mechanic is super sensitive. You dont even need to put your face up to the screen.
Just finished the first silhouette level. Shit eating grin going on the entire time. There are so many throwbacks in this to every single past Mario game.
*Also, what's the deal with the 8-bit figures and silhouettes Ive been seeing? Is this an easter egg or a multiplayer thing?

Oh man. Don't have a wii u, but this game is making me consider getting one just for this game. I want to experience the same magic that Super Mario Bros 1 and Super Mario World gave me when I was a kid. Will this deliver the same kind of magic?
Indubitably
As amazing as galaxy was I feel like this game has greater variety and I love that it incorporates so many elements from the older mario games. Each level features a wow moment and none of them drag on. All four characters have distinct strengths and weaknesses and it gives the game a ton of replay value. It's hard to explain but for me this game feels more like a "mario" game than galaxy.
Like the hat?

I love playing as Peach. She needs to be playable more often.

Damn you na guys to hell!! All we've got in the uk is crappy xbones!
The only thing I'm gonna hate about this game is that it will reinforce my pickiness with games. I ain't got time for anything but Nintendo these days, they sem to be the only people left in the console world who appreciate there own craft

Yes, it was mentioned in the Iwata Asks:
Hayashida: While I was doing that, the effects staff had planted pixel art of Luigi all over the place, so there's hidden pixel Luigis here and there. It's fun to find them, so I hope players will look for them.
Thats so awesome. Thanks dude!

I want to know what lighting engine this game uses, and why consoles that are supposedly more powerful (not to mention pc games) haven't had lighting as good as this.

Don't need to do all that. Grab it, run, then press ZR.
I don't think you need to spin the stick

If any of you would like to watch a live stream of Super Mario 3D World, there is one going on right now, from Nick's Marathon, which is a charity stream ran by gamers dedicated to the memory of their friend, Nicholas Charles Capobianco, who died of lymphoblastic leukemia in 2008. It is a 48 hour Charity stream, raising money to purchase the newest video game consoles for children staying at the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island.

The game has *really* ramped up at World 3. Shifty Boo Mansion and its music were great!

You will join the revolution soon enough my friend.
Just popping in to say I picked this up after work and played about 3 hours. I'm in World 3 right now and this is probably the most fun I've had with a game this year.
And what the FUCK is up with the music!? I haven't been following the game development too closely but did they record a live orchestra or something? It's incredible - the music EVERYWHERE in the game has been breathtaking.

Damn I want this game and Zelda ALBW so much.
but I do not have the money, and neither a 3DS nor a Wii U
Yeah, your text works in German as well

I don't know if anyone has really commented on it but after watching some of the ps4/x1 streams on twitch of people playing some games I've noticed that Super mario 3d world has really short loading times. Pick a level and within a few seconds you're playing. Gotta appreciate the small things.
Exactly. It's like it's too epic sounding for the first castle.
Setting the bar up early and all that jazz..

I said wow
Just started playing, but 2-2 Puffprod Peaks is aesthetically and aurally beautiful. Brilliant!

Final boss is easily better than any of the previous 3D Mario final bosses
post-game stuff tomorrow, but overall its very, very good. Not Galaxy good, but its like they kinda sidestepped Galaxy's ambition for making the best Super Mario Bros 3(D) they could instead.

Why does the Ghost Mii thing not seem to be working for me? I only ever see my own Mii, if at all.

just curious, did you find all green stars on every level? Or did you just play to enjoy the game and find the ones you could find?
It really is. It's one of the first time I actually said "wow this sounds great" out loud while playing a game lol
Kind of how I feel, really. Still in World 3, but at the end of the day, I probably won't put it up above Galaxy or especially Galaxy 2. Still such a great game. It has its own strengths, too, which elevate it in other ways.
And if you're saying the final boss is better than 3D Land's then I'm already over the moon.
edit: on second thought, I could see this reaching Galaxy for me. Galaxy 2 will be tall order.
I said I wasn't going to get this right away, but couldn't resist picking it up when I got Zelda. I'm through world 3 at this point and it's about what I expected, for better and for worse.
The music is incredible, especially the Bowser tracks...and the 3-1 winter music...and the world 2 overworld music...and others. The art design and visuals are great, too. The stamps are a fantastic idea and make the Miiverse shine for uncreative sobs like me. However, as I also expected, the platforming is only so-so, partly due to the iffy perspective and camera, which are also the only things that have provided any difficulty for me. It's not as big an issue since everything else is so great, but I'm fairly confident I won't put as many hours into it as as I did for NSMB U.
