Cultural Appropriation Hat Mario is best Mario
I'm not entirely sold on its style. It's a little too Sonic Adventure to me.
It's not like Sonic Adventure at all. The only reason people think that is the somewhat realistic human NPC's in one zone. It helps that Mario is using it as a fun, weird zone and not the JRPG to be taken seriously shit in SA.
Until we see footage of Mario fighting an FF final boss, I wouldn't call it a Sonic Adventure game.

If Mario 64, Sunshine, Galaxy, and Galaxy 2 aren't reason enough to give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt that a flagship Mario title will be quality, then yeah, maybe it'll be as disappointing 'as usual'
man who shat in your cheerios
But it is nice that people find playing jump rope and sitting on benches to be 64/Sunshine/Galaxy quality.
:lol
i dont know how you can love sunshine and not like the look of this.
I definitely prefer the more linear 3D Mario games (3D Land and 3D World were definitely my favorite 3D Marios) to the more nonlinear (64, Sunshine) but we'll see. I'm worried that Nintendo filled it with a bunch of collectathon and minigame stuff, both being my least favorite parts of some platformers. But I'll give it a chance.
Cutesy screenshot? It's in the gameplay video posted above.:lol
i dont know how you can love sunshine and not like the look of this.
At least Sunshine had tight platforming and warp stages. Haven't seen a bit in Odyssey. Looks turrible.
You're coming across a lot more "i want to dislike like this game" than "here are reasons this game will be bad" tbh. Ive seen the trailers itt but haven't scoured all available footage as you have, but the platforming looks fine to me and I can't begin to fathom how you can judge how 'tight' the controls are without playing it, or why you would expect the series that has defined good-feeling platforming for more than three decades would suddenly just forget how to do that
i've probably watched the same stuff you have. from the small amount of content, it looks like they've focussed on some overworld exploration, puzzle solving and light platforming similar to what i know and love from 64 and Sunshine. Galaxy was much lighter on this, 3d land almost did away with it. i like the diversity in formula between titles.
I would imagine they are really only showing early levels so of course the platforming is more simplistic to ease players into it. All the challenging/hardcore platforming will come in later stages and optional side levels
It begins promisingly enough. Everything is this weird, funhouse version of what the "real world" might look like. The proportions are weird and there are coin blocks everywhere. It superficially resembles New York; but outside of the somewhat realistically proportioned citizens, it might as well be another part of the Mushroom Kingdom. I kind of like it actually—it's all very "Mario."
The actual gameplay, though, is not. Upon meeting up with Mayor Pauline, you're asked to go and recruit some musicians so that she can put on a party. The first one is waiting right outside: you talk to him and he agrees to go play. The rest of the musicians are found by wandering around, racing up buildings through electric wires with your hat powers, and checking rooftops.
It's a slow-paced and frankly kind of boring process, and it's compounded by Pauline's request that you address some power troubles before the party starts. To do that, you have to collect enough coins to buy an inspector's hat and overalls to post as a city inspector. I suppose that's where you spend more time wandering around and maybe finding some levels to explore, but it didn't feel like there was much to do in the city itself.
I guess I'll come right out and say it: It fell kind of flat for me.
Is this indicative of what the final product will be? I'm not sure, to be honest. From the look of it, Super Mario Odyssey will incorporate a lot of different gameplay elements, some of it quite experimental. It's easy to complain that it doesn't really feel like a "Mario" game, i.e., it's very light on the traditional platforming elements, but that doesn't feel quite right. The spirit of openness and exploration is certainly there, if not necessarily the execution.
And frankly,"the game isn't out yet you're criticizing pixels" is one of the lamest arguments I have ever heard.
Dude, it's not an ad hominem to point out that you're being incredibly condescending by posting a video of a game that literally everyone in this thread has played. Where have I attacked you anywhere in this thread? I think the game looks good, which doesn't seem like an offensive opinion. You don't have to act like such a defensive dickhead anytime someone disagrees with your opinion.
"humanity is dogshit" lmao chillll

I don't even really like Mario that much, but I think this game looks great. I don't see the big deal. Some of the worlds, designs, and levels look like what I always wanted in "3D Mario".
Aside from the human NPCs/T-Rex giving me Sonic '06 vietnam-esque flashbacks, I'm definitely way more impressed and hopeful than most games coming out soon.
Maybe don't put so much attention on early gameplay previews and nerds over-analyzing shit for that 10 minute AD revenue. :doge

still dont get posting a bob omb summit vid to "drill your point in". there's next to no platforming. also mastering the FLUDD speaks to me more as something you'd expect from an adventure game vs platformer..
the platforming was pretty ghetto in 64 too. that camera :trash
I'm not sure where I insulted you? Forgive me for not endeavoring to writing a dissertation about why I think it's silly to say a game from a historically incredible franchise looks like shit, but posting a video of the first level of a game that almost everyone who has played videogames is familiar with isn't a great way to foster a discussion. I don't care about 'giving you confidence' in the game - I'm not trying to win you over. I just pointed out how unfounded I think it is to fret about the game being shitty. If discussion with me is so fucking terrible, I'll leave you alone and let you stick to the vaunted discourse of youtube comments :lol
I didn't even realize that was where this stemmed from. I meant I'd watched the videos in this thread, not specifically just the trailers.

Personally, it would go over well with me if you had bothered to inform yourself of the game. Instead, at the outset you said "I haven't seen any gameplay outside the trailer" when my critique is specifically the gameplay.
I wouldn't say I'm concerned exactly, but There's a little too much walking around and talking and not really Marioing in some of the videos I've seen. I've also seen cool-looking platforming sections, which I'm sure will be all over the place.
I can see where my Queen is coming from.
I don't see why. I've watched official Nintendo videos where they've spent more time walking than jumping. It's a valid critique.

Himu is the only person making sense in this thread.
holy shit you mean this Mario game is going to be a platformer?! who'd have thought
nah, they're demoing stuff that's working really well. every casual i know that is intimidated by difficult looking games is all over this nu-mario (and Switch in general)
i mean, yeah, i feel like that's been Nintendo's mantra for quite a while, but they seem to be really nailing the combo of appealing to traditional and new players alike atm.
How about we like, wait until it's out
Or is that too crazy an idea
the ads? looking em up, there are two clear winning botw vids with 12+ million views (everything else well below that) that are exhilirating but i didnt see anything that looked difficult, playing into power fantasies where you'll get to play this cool, young, androgenous character explore a beautiful environment and destroy evil. they also ignored a p key aspect of zelda, not showing anything that looked like puzzle solving in a dungeon (there are none in BOTW? haven't played..)
Are you still "concerned"?
:doge
In retrospect Mario 64 has not aged well.
lol no
Queen, buy the game when it comes out. You're going to love it.

Good on Wrath for acknowledging the difference in play style and preferences. When it comes to platformers, besides stuff like Jet Set, I'm definitely firmly in the 2d platformer camp.
I may like Mario 64 more than 2D Mario, but I'd say I'm in the 2D platformer camp mostly because there aren't as many good 3D platformers as there are 2D.

That's a good argument. I'll buy it.
I expected him to be harrier. :thinking
On the subject of early 3D platformers, I think the original Spyro the Dragon has held up reasonably well. The controls are kinda fickle and the camera tended to be pretty garbo, but it's got some neat little mechanics and twists on the Super Mario 64 formula that help it stand out. Good artstyle/graphics and music, too, doesn't hurt.
That and Super Mario 64 are two of the only platformers of that era that I'm tempted to replay.
good to hear, haven't touched that game since then. I remember Ripto's Rage being my favoriteThe first game is more simplistic but Spyro builds upon the multi-tier objectives system. There's a once through to the exit level way. There's getting all the gems. There's getting the egg thief. You can play entire levels accomplishing the bulk of the goals and not see half the map. Even like the second level has a straight path to the exit and you can be done in a minute or so, but there's a whole underground part to collect all the gems. Heck, the very first level requires you to glide "outside" the level from a high point to get all the gems. And even the hub world requires you to jump off the map.
Speaking of 3D transformers, I just looked up a playthrough of DK64 and man that looks like a steaming pile of garbage. Talk about not holding up well. I'm glad I got soured on DKC3 and skipped this one entirely. Then I was back for the sweet return to form with the Returns games.DK64 was garbage at the time. That is the one "64" game I will fight people about. That and anyone who says Jet Force Gemini was great. (That was developed by the Blast Corps team plus Diddy Kong Racing people rather than making a Blast Corps 2 which would have put Sony out of business immediately and forever. And still could, if Nintendo cared to listen to the people.)

I'm really glad a Mario game has some personality again. Feels like after Galaxy 2 the games were extra bland in music and aesthetic.
the New series had fucking terrible visuals and audio and it was mind-boggling why they stuck to it so hard for soooo long.well i mean it sold a cosmic shitload, the DS and Wii ones sold 30 million copies and even U sold 5 million (Galaxy sold 13 million, Galaxy 2 sold 6 million, 3D Land 11 million and 3D World 5 million) the only games to top those two or even get within 10 million copies were packaged in with the NES or SNES for half their life or longer...DS actually was never a pack-in to my surprise unless wikipedia is wrong
BAH BAH is still the worst fucking music ever created.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWbtBk1xe7c
I have no idea who Nintendo were trying to sell this game to in the previous months
I don't even know how to explain the success of the NSMB games. They were lazy as shit but sold umpteen dozen million copies.
probably my favorite Nintendo 2D platformer, and you don't even play as Mario :lolwow, claim it's your favorite and then show your CASUAL GAMER IGNORANCE by acting like there's not the parts where you play as invincible Super Baby Mario
I still really like SMB, honestly. It's pretty simple and easy but designed well enough that I enjoy it whenever I pick it up.
For whatever reason, SMB3 hasn't clicked with me like that outside of my childhood when it was my favorite. It's well designed and fun to play, but I find myself putting it down much quicker than I do other great 2D Marios(I'm including Doki Doki Panic reskin and the lost levels in this because I love both, bitches).
I haven't touched SMBW since the SNES days, so can't really speak on it. But I plan on somehow getting a SNES Mini with wanting to replay it high on the priority list. Yoshi's Island is probably still going to be a better game to me when all is said and done. It's kind of funny how it's billed as SMW2, is probably my favorite Nintendo 2D platformer, and you don't even play as Mario :lol
3D World is great. I know dunkey doesn't like it but he's also more of a fan of the 3D games in the spirit of Sunshine.
I'd argue it's the Wii U's best title
I maintain that 3D land sucked until the post game
3D World felt tired and bland in my opinion. 3D World and Sunshine were the only two Mario games where I didn't give a shit about it. Both games just felt half assed.
The good news is that Sunshine's sequel was amazing and so does Odyssey.
The 3D Land main game felt like an experimental demo than anything else. You breeze through the main game in 3-4 hours and then you play the actual game.
However I think that gameplay setup is a crock of shit. 3D World did the same thing too. These games should be "on" at all times which fortunately appears to be the case for Odyssey.
the stupidest thing about having a ton of easy content in Mario is that we beat all those old Marios when we were little fucking kids. the waiter stuff isn't more accessible, just more boring.
Though, my opinion is colored by the fact I don't see easy games as bad games, or hard games as good games. Difficulty is separate from quality.

Played it this past weekend to completion with my friend when I was on vacation. Game is legit amazing, best Mario I've ever played (my previous favorite being SMW). I spent 120 hours on BOTW and was ready to declare it game of forever but Mario honestly blows past it. It has the bouncing around to different areas inside bigger worlds like Galaxy with the good parts of exploring huge zones like Sunshine and 64, but getting the moons feels more like Korok seeds in BOTW since you can get them for a lot of different little tasks.What did you think of the soundtrack?
Getting my copy on Friday and I can't wait to replay the whole thing. :hyper Game is gorgeous, has fantastic music, clever puzzles, and so much to explore and check out with little minigames and fun side things. Plus the postgame content can get really fucking hard if that's what you are looking for.
What did you think of the soundtrack?It's really solid. A lot of times the way a world works is there's one "task" to do (get all the pieces of X, beat this boss, whatever) and the music in a level will be at a lower level and a bit subdued. Then when you finish that task and everything opens up, the world music swells and gets so much bigger and louder. It opens up just like the rest of the level. Plus the boss fights all have really sick music that accentuates them and adds to the tension of the fights, especially some of the later bosses. I'm not sure who did the composition but a lot of the tracks, especially in the
Been playing this for a few hours nowI heard on YouTube :delicious

Been hearing a lot of complaints about motion controls in handheld mode. Not too sure how serious it really is tho.
Won't be getting my copy until Saturday :D
There was a reddit thread with a screenshot of turning off motion controls but only for the camera. So you can turn them off for the moves too? The Kotaku review made it sound like dual Joycons was by far the preferred control method.
ATTENTION SEEKER. CLICKBAIT. NO AD REVENUE CAUSE POP-OP BLOCKER. If you don't like hard, go back to freaking 8-bit Super Mario and try speedrunning that within 2 mins. Going to report this review to metacritic. This is CLEARLY a troll review as many people have said. Have fun spending the rest of your life in the 1981 Donkey Kong arcade classic trying to beat the highest score, if nostalgia is what you're looking for. Now go back home to try and hacking other people's PCs, if I didn't already hack yours. GTFO.
I came here just to say that this review is full of shit and should be taken off from Metacritic. Seriously, you gave games such as Fifa high score but gave only 7.5 to Mario O?
What is your agenda anyway? You know that this game will get alot of high score on Metacritic so you wrote this just to get more attention and more click? What a sad website this is. The first and only time that I will visit this.
Dickh...mister, you are not bashed for having an opinion. You are bashed for being an amateur. For some misterious reason your amateurish review and score got on metacritic. Sure, you are a victim and stuff but from a serious reviewer point of view , you are a disaster. How ON EARTH did you get an early copy, is beyond my understanding. You remind me of that idiot who compared borderlands 2 with his narrow vision of shooters, call of duty et all.
Sir, you are a disgrace, I can safely say you have nothing in common with a game's reviewer.

I spent hours last night in the desert world getting moons. Could have moved onto the next world, but I was having such a blast that I enjoyed sticking around and finding new stuff to do. Ended up with 50+ moons before going to the third world...which is crazy, since I generally hate "collectathon" type game play. But not here...it's fun!

5.2 I believe. Save file almost nothing.
My biggest beef right now is the music, or lack thereof. Some areas are dead silent and it feels weird. That same shit happened in Breath of the Wild where the game is fucking awesome but the soundtrack is a letdown.Which maps are you talking about? Sometimes it's low key in certain areas but I don't think it is as poorly handled as BotW's overworld.

Can someone explain the Lakitu fishing minigame to me like I'm 5 years old?
I seriously don't get the mechanic here.
Drop the line
Move around or wait for a fish to come to you
Wait for it to bite (vibration) and yank it up
You know, FISHING
The bigger fish has a moon.
I'm on Bowser's kingdom and already headed towards the end. It has some insanely-placed purple coins and moons, but I've found a ton. It really pays to search all over, even if the area seems small.
Hit another 2D Mario part that is pretty cool, but will wait for everyone to get to it. It's very Japanese-inspired.
Dunno if that's the last world, or rather the last world you can get to without getting all the moons. I saw that there was another world already, because a previous world had a painting leading to it. This wasspoiler (click to show/hide)Peach's Castle from Mario 64![close]
Have also seen a few paintings that had no art. Not sure what that means yet.
yea, this game is the real deal.
it's prob better than mario 3 and easily better than 64
I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I believe Galaxy is still the peak of the franchise.
I have a question: on my switch the game handles certain transparencies by employing a sort of grid pattern that looks suspiciously like a GPU on the fritz so I am getting paranoid about my unit being fucked...
n
As an example: the toad that's next to your ship in the desert world... if you positio your camera so that you are looking through it... is it a proper transparency or a sort of grid?
Thanks...
people forget that kids play this too
I like this game a lot, but 3D World is still great, brehs. I'll defend that game until die.
How the hell did some of you burn through this game in three days since release? The dia de los muertos kingdom alone is yuge.Just getting through all the kingdoms doesn't take that much time. I didn't do a ton of exploration until after finishing the story.
I never want this game to end, it makes 3D Land look like the cheapest trash
Question: Playing through Galaxy 2 right now because I'm not quite ready to throw my money at a Switch. Game's later challenges are whoopin' my ass. Does Odyssey get challenging, or is it more about the joy of exploration? Mario needs to check at least one of those two boxes to really get me on the hook.
That's cool. Sounds more 64 than Galaxy, which I'm totally down with.
I fell off the side of a level and instead of dying, I ended up in a pit where I got chased by T-Rex wearing a hat. 11.8/10
I never want this game to end, it makes 3D Land look like the cheapest trash
how do you think it makes 3D world look like? i would argue the same point
3D World (and I think land, but never played it) in my mind are really a different type of mario game. 3D world is still ultimately about finishing the level. It’s not about exploration or collecting moons/stars. Iirc there is a dumb gate near the end that requires you to have a certain number of some type of collectible, but in my mind 3D world was more of a “what if we made a 3D mario with the progression of a 2D one”. And odyssey is like “let’s make a sequel to galaxy/64/sunshine.
Mario Sunshine is the only Mario game that straight up sucks
Just made it past New Donk to the ice world... my big issue with Odyssey so far is that it seems like they didn't really let the ideas marinate much, they just constantly throw new things at you instead of introducing a mechanic, expanding on it, and increasing the challenge as you come to terms with the mechanic.Great point. Any Mario game that is too easy suffers from this. Way back when the first NSMB came out I thought that it had some really creative concepts in its level design, but it did fuck all with them because they wanted babies to be able to play. The problem is less severe in Odyssey, or perhaps I'm just an old man who is happy with stuff being easy.

Like with the previous Mario games (3D World/Land, Galaxies) you get most of the tougher challenges post game. The main story line of Bowser's wedding is basically the tutorial for the game mechanics. And while it is easy as hell, it's also fun as hell. The sheer number of puzzle and platforming mechanics allows them to extend out the easy part of the game, allowing small children and casual players to 'finish' the game. For anyone else that wants more of a challenge, there's a ton of content waiting at the end.
I just don't see how it is harder. 90% of the new moons are exactly the same sort of things you've done already, just in new positions.You're right, there are a bunch of new moons added to the levels. But no one is claiming all new scattered moons are challenging.
So is this 1:1 to SM3DL where the real game starts in the post-game and the regular game is for casuals?I'd say the last third of the game is where the difficulty ramps up a bit (Luncheon Kingdom and after) for the mainline game but also depending on how deep you wanna go with moon collection, you can get into some tougher parts early. If you just collect the minimum amount of moons needed to beat the game, no it isn't difficult at all really. IIRC the minimum amount of moons to beat the game is 124 but there's like 860 some total? You CAN beat it without any challenge, but the challenge is there if you want it.
So is this 1:1 to SM3DL where the real game starts in the post-game and the regular game is for casuals? No spoilers please. And by spoilers I mean "this is a creative stage you have to see yourself" spoiler.
Apparently the game ups the challenge in the post-game. Sounds like a standard modern Mario with a boring regular game and a better post-game. So basically a 3d Land situation. It's nice to see people who said my concerns were baseless eat nice, fat crow.
I will say that I can't figure outbut I have a feeling that's more about exploring than platforming acumen.spoiler (click to show/hide)how to get on top of the castle[close]
somewhere near 850 moons I think
Hold the phone.
The vendor on one of the maps sells 10 moons at a time. I spent 3000 coins before stopping and it appears he has more. Can you just buy as many as you want?
Just started playing. The game looks very vibrant and pretty in comparison to Zelda.
Wait so Zelda doesnt look as good as this?
Playing this actually made me want to try Zelda.
Hold the phone.this sounds kinda shady man, i dunno if i'd trust him and his "technically legal" business operation

I thought you could just buy 1 moon per stage and have been doing that. Thought this was part the "counted" moons per stage.
Really? Just got there last night 8)Just started playing. The game looks very vibrant and pretty in comparison to Zelda.

just finished the game and went back to the cap kingdom. how do i get to the beacon in the sea of clouds?

I think Zelda looks good, but very washed out at times with way too much bloom and some very shitty textures in places. Mario seems to have much crisper image quality
It also makes me want to revisit the past Mario games. Is there even a remote chance that the Galaxy titles are going to be ported to the Switch?

That would give me a POWERFUL boner
So I need three more coins in the sand kingdom. I can feel my sanity slipping away. Anyone have any idea where they are?
Also, 702 moons now.

can you not use toad late game?
i'm too old to torture myself attempting to look for every moon on my own.
What's the deal with that goomba with the girly red hat? Saw one in the sand kingdom and now in the wooded kingdom. Do I get a moon if I catch them? And how do I do that? They immediately disappear if you get close to them.

I can be so daft at times :neogaf
It worked, thx.
saying new donk city is great, i haven't played the game at all but dunkey discredited forever for supporting GTA nonsense with no platforming over real Mario
:donot
Find it hard to enjoy dunkey after learning he still supports and associates with jontron :(
With all these white edgelords (Dunkey, Jontron, Pewdiepie, iDubbbz, etc) it's either "taco" or the N word they love to use. He might have cooled off on these words, but his friends aren't helping by normalising it and making it in a friendlier version. However marginalised groups call each other, like girls calling each other bitches, as in taking ownership of oppressive words, that's their prerogative. But not for a straight white male like Dunkey and other edgelords.
dunkey is white? wouldn't have expected thatif you watched his videos you'd know that he is of Puerto Rican descent ooooh
Whats easy mode? And are you talking aboutspoiler (click to show/hide)the first multi moon with the bosses in sequence or whats after that?[close]
Took me quite a few tries on normal (no clue how many but more then a dozen for sure) but it was very satisfying indeed
Challenges like this is why I dont agree with the “too easy” crowd
Maybe I’ll try darker side on assist. Tried it once and was like nah. I fucking hate moon gravity. Already have enough problems with 3d Mario camera and judging distances at times, but at least I know the jumping physics and where I’m gonna land when I jump. Moon gravity fucks that all up and I have to watch my shadow the whole time.
Really didn’t like the final world because of it. Would’ve been better if the world before was the final world. Though the last level challenge was good.
The jump rope thing is going to make me suicidal.
Picture match is bullshit. That's definitely the part where I said "nope, not going for all the moons in this game".
Also: Bought the bone costume - finally, no more money! For a short while, at least. Constantly hitting the artificial 9999 limit was driving me nuts.
...Super Mario World is still da best. After that, probably SMB3. Then Galaxy, then Od...wait why are we doing lists now?
I dunno. I have been diligently exploring every nook and cranny. There's a whole shedload of goodies littered everywhere. For example, the stashes of coins randomly hidden away in hard to reach places are worth between 200 and 500 coins each. Grabbing a heart when you're full gets you some coins as well, and I cannot NOT grab a heart. And so on.Also: Bought the bone costume - finally, no more money! For a short while, at least. Constantly hitting the artificial 9999 limit was driving me nuts.
How the fuck do you have so much money :lol
I am always dirt poor. I've spent about 2,000 coins on 10x moons on two worlds, and bought the 1 moon on all of them, so that's probably another 1,500. Then bought some costumes, so maybe I spent another 1,000 coins, but that's 4,500 total and I've got like 200 coins to my name. Then again I never go out of my way to collect coins, just grab whatever I run through while doing the levels.
...Super Mario World is still da best. After that, probably SMB3. Then Galaxy, then Od...wait why are we doing lists now?
Hey, that's actually my list too. SMW, SMB3, Galaxy for top3.
Hmm, I don't remember Yoshi's Island being a great platformer? Like I remember having to aim the eggs all the time and it was a bit less fun than normal Mario platforming. I haven't played it in 25 years or something though, so maybe I should give it a replay. Wait, maybe I'm thinking of the DS Yoshi game. Man, I can't remember Yoshi's Island at all. I probably should replay it.Platforming is so-so in YI. There are some tricky parts, but the flutterjump can get you anywhere if you time it right. It's more about the presentation and variety. And the humongous amount of barely ever recycled end bosses. And the soundtrack. Plus, the occasional bit of humour. The whole package is incredibly cohesive.
Haven't beaten Odyssey so I can't place it yet, but I think I like it more so far than SMB3 and 64.People retroactively talk too much shit about Sunshine, it was a good time. :-[
Super Mario Galaxy > Super Mario World > Super Mario Galaxy 2 > Super Mario Bros. 3 > Super Mario 64 > New Super Mario Bros. U + Luigi U > New Super Mario Bros.

I really should play Sunshine one of these days.spoiler (click to show/hide)If we're counting Yoshi's Island, it's tied with Galaxy at the top for me.[close]
cant wait on darker side to kick my ass
currently on 330 moons and in the wooden kingdom
Did you get all the moons in every kingdom?
Just started yesterday and played through a bunch and have over 70 moons. This game is very good. Doesn't tickle my nerd pickle the way Galaxy did but this is still a great game.
"beat" the game. Probably my favorite Mario game ever. I loved it.
One gripe though:spoiler (click to show/hide)What the fuck at the shitty pop punk near the end? :lol Didn't ruin the awesome Bowser sequence but jesus christ at this Sonic adventure shit.[close]
save for a few moons, the latter game hasn't been any more challenging
still goty
went through the game and thought about what would make good coin grinding spots23000 coins later and now I have gotten literally everything there is to getspoiler (click to show/hide)started with the clouds one in Bowser's Castle but it was boring
so I instead got most of my coins by starting NDC Festival, tanking hits and dying in an optimal fashion on the last section which respawns all the coins, ~250 per go-around
there's also the outside of the Inverted Pyramid where you get45coins->resetwithpipe->get45coins->etc that was easy money if you don't feel up to executing jumps with more precision than a shotgun[close]
all costumes
999 moons
there's not a huge reward for doing that but it's cute enough
in this moment, I am free
How do you redo the festival?
I only recently understood that weird dance Major Pauline does during her sequence. Sat at home and had some retro gaming let's play videos in the background and recognised a certain tune. Man, there's some really cute fan service moments in this game. Heh.
Pauline is still creepy as fuck though, with her art style clash.
Also, as someone who went on a media blackout pre-release and who was evidently way too good at not falling off cliffs, I just got introduced to the dark wood area by a friend. Oooooooooooh. That is so neat. I had been searching for where those last few coins were... but how are you supposed to find that area on your own, dammit.
Odyssey is a great game, no doubt but I think that the Galaxy games are much more creative overall. At several points during the Galaxy games I thought "holy shit" but I only thought about that here about the metro kingdom. Looking forward to getting all of the moons in the game and hopefully there's an Odyssey 2 later on in the Switch's life.
Any tricks for the jump rope part or the secret S class race against the yetis in the ice level? Those and the Darker Side are all that remain for me... oh, and grinding for a few costumes which I probably won't bother with.The jump rope has a glitch solution that involves throwing your cap at the bird next to the jump ropers, at the maximum distance where you can still talk to it. You talk to it just as the cap is on its way back and about to hit the bird again. When the message window disappears and the cap is just about to hit the bird, you need to immediately roll away so that the bird leaves the viewport. Then you go to the jump rope, do a ground pound boosted jump, and when you are at the highest point of the jump, you turn your camera back towards the bird. This will freeze Mario in the air while the jump rope counter continues to increase. To get out of this state, just mash some buttons.

Same feeling so far. When I played Galaxy, I couldn't put it down. I only felt like that when I played the metro kingdom and subsequently the one where you fight the octopus. Also, the parade in New donk city was amazing, it was like a celebration of Mario. Doing the 2D platforming that was just like the original DK game while fireworks are going off, that was amazing.
64 is hard to beat because of A) Nostalgia B) how groundbreaking it was at the time.
So I just completed the "main" game, and the question I am left with is... Mario a cuck?
Looks like he got friendzoned pretty hard by Peach. Browser kidnapped her, tried to force her into marriage, yet at the end she shows no preference to either Mario or Bowser, they're on equal footing as far as she's concerned. Mario got played, son.
Pauline is better for him anyway imo
