despite me giving it a 9.2 pitchfork scale rating, in the pantheon of mario games it's probably like in the 5th-10th greatest range, for me. which to be clear, is still a great game imo

not gonna accuse y'all of boomerism but come on the modern games are better than the old ones

xp i would, but i only feel comfortable doing that when no one is home, and lately, my partner is always home :)

but thank you, that's very nice. i haven't really streamed a game for several months now!
I think my main problem with Odyssey is that it rarely gives me the illusion that I'm really good at it.

xp frogbs I admit that I’m a 2d fan, in general, over 3d platforms. For me, the core of Mario perfection is about control, the platonic ideal of the Jump, and in general just feeling like I’m making Mario do the exact thing that I want him to do. I get more of those good control feelings with 2d Mario. It’s still very good with 3D, but I find myself “missing” a lot more
― let me be your friend on the other end! (Karl Malone), Friday, 3 April 2020 16:52 (four years ago) link
yes exactly
― lukas, Friday, 3 April 2020 16:54 (four years ago) link
I know what you mean but I think the recent 2-D games replicate that quite well & the level design is more innovative. plus, y'know, multiplayer
the built-in levels for Super Mario Maker 2 eclipse the originals, imo. would be cool if they just did like, a new set of SMB 3 levels using the new designers
― frogbs, Friday, 3 April 2020 16:58 (four years ago) link
a new set of SMB 3 levels using the new designers
the best parts of new super mario bros feel like that, it's so good!

otm. SMM2 encapsulates all of these old games in one spot and adds creativity and online fun. it is more phenomenon than game, probably the best 2D mario to ever exist.

I really want the eventual next 2D Mario to take lessons from the masocore platformers through Celeste and move towards short, linked-together levels, with quick deaths and restarts
― silby, Friday, 3 April 2020 18:15 (four years ago) link
Might be cool if quick death and restart were a powerup

1. smb3: i watched The Wizard in the theater.2. smb2: Maybe the most goth of all the mario bros games.3. smb: "Minus level" is extremely a part of my interior lizard brain.4. smw: Very good game but verging toward overly polished / obligatory. Creativity is starting to wane.5. smw2: I'm sure I must have played this as a kid but I barely remember it.6. Mario Bros the arcade game is pretty fun even now.7. lost levels: played maybe half of these a kid? Maybe less?8. 64: barely played it because i stopped playing video games at this point. the 3d looked bad even then but i guess it's charming now.9. odyssey: watched someone play some of this once. not bad10. new super mario bros: is this the one where you can knock each other into pits? horrible multiplayer experienceothers: haven't played 'em

no mention of Sunshine here, which was pretty flawed and buggy but also had a lot of cool features
lost levels is pretty insane, I remember staying up until 5 AM with a friend to try to beat it. even with the 1-1 koopa shell/255 life trick we struggled to make it past World 6. it's just so touchy. sort of ahead of its time I guess, considering all the popular Mario Maker levels

64 is the best imho surprised u all arent rating

64 is the ferrari of tha series

my ideal mario wld have the speed/movement of 64 w the graphics and creativity of the newer 3d ones

they shd make a sequel

odessey not having running was the worst part of it for me i kept instinctively trying to find the button lol
my other complaint is that it doesnt have a sledding race, that bounding shit was wack

riding the stone lion taxi was cool cause it was pretty difficult

I def factor in the context when rating games like this, one could argue that SMM2 is superior in level design to SMB3 but I’m sorry there is NO comparison... SMB3 was a marvellously innovative achievement, technologically perfect, and was an adventure that spanned many worlds and required a great deal of work to complete. SMM2? You’re building a castle, it feels like you’re on a factory line.
Same goes for Mario 64– it’s gameplay is so incredible, the level design so innovative, it redefined 3D gaming afaik
1 SMB32 Mario 643 Super Mario World4 Galaxy 25 Galaxy6 Yoshi’s Island7 Odyssey8 SMB9 SMB 210 SMM211 Land12 Land 2
Those are all the ones I’ve played and I enjoy/loved them all. Never played Sunshine, I hear 3D World is amazing. I played the new 2.5D ones and found the controls consistently sluggish. Surprised that people don’t rate the Galaxies higher, surprised that people don’t stan for Land as they should

a race themed mario wld be sick where like the mario cart crew are doing a season but then they have to have an adventure........idk just spitballin

3D world is kinda like that, its got the long jumps, wall kicks, backflips and all that

yeah i havent played that one or galaxy 2 hope they come 2 switch
― lag∞n, Friday, 3 April 2020 19:18 (four years ago) link
a thorough remastering of 64 w new levels also shd happen

eh it's not really Nintendo's thing to add new levels to old games, as awesome as that would be

they did it for the ds port
― lag∞n, Friday, 3 April 2020 19:23 (four years ago) link
you can't judge SMM2 on the story mode alone. It would be lame to choose Big Ones as your favorite Aerosmith album. But what if the release of Big Ones included all of the tracks, time sliced, allowing you to make your own Even Bigger Ones.

its nuts they haven't done a bunch of DLC for that game yet

I'm interested in playing the Galaxy ones but I tried them on the Wii U and they were too hard for me. Kept running out of lives and having to start worlds over until I gave up.
― DJI, Friday, 3 April 2020 20:03 (four years ago) link
just
re slog: i felt exactly the same way on the first playthrough, and to some extent the second, but every time i play it i love it more. now i’m somewhere in the teens and i completely lose myself in it. easily the highest replay value of any game i’ve played in years.
re moon currency: utterly otm. it doesn’t feel much like an achievement when you kick a rock MOON, headbutt a seed MOON, walk past a doorway MOON, walk two feet for no reason MOON, blink MOON, and then the difference between 673 moons and 687 moons is essentially negligible.

I may be overrating 64 tbh
idk, I just looked through the list of levels and had some fond memories but also memories of frustration. Which is the hardest Mario, btw? My vote is easily SMW2, the normal game was hard enough, getting 100 on every level to unlock the bonus stages was very difficult, and then, the bonus stages themselves? HA impossible
― we have no stan but to choice (flamboyant goon tie included), Friday, 3 April 2020 22:53 (four years ago) link
The hardest levels I can think of on a Mario game (Lost Levels aside) are the airship in SMB3 world 8 (I'd always P-wing it), Tubular in SMW, the Poochie bonus stage in SMW2, and I have a vague memory of something in Galaxy involving Luigi and a huge airship as being insanely difficult, Galaxy was hard, I remember

the old 2d marios are definitely the hardest. 64 probably the hardest 3d one in the normal levels, the postgame challenge levels in the newer ones are harder though
