    Fun fact: the version of Mario World in All Stars + World has a totally different sprite sheet for Luigi, not just a different head shape. He jumps differently, he slides down slopes on his knees, and he shoots fireballs from his mouth instead of his hands. Luigi canonically spits fire.

    My theory for why Mario 3D All-Stars is so bare-bones is that Nintendo heard all those rumors about a 3D Mario collection back in 2020, and just quickly threw something together. Probably not the case, but I think it would be funny.

      In hindsight, expecting 3D All-Stars to be a remake is quite unrealistic. It's not like Crash or Spyro where they share somewhat similar game styles between games.

    The real icing on the cake for the Wii version of All-Stars is that it wasn't even the best version, it didn't have Mario World.
    I think the best comparison for the Wii All-Stars collection would be the Kirby's Dream Collection on Wii, which had a variety of mainline games from the GB to N64, an "on this year" history section, three episodes of the Right Back At Ya anime, and its own unique version of Return to Dreamland's challenge stages.

  • @dmk_yt
    @dmk_yt 7 місяців тому +88

    The original All-Stars (not the Wii port) is still really impressive to me conceptually. They remade 4 different games with really nice visuals. These were all also last-gen games at the time, and you're getting all 4 of them on one cartridge. While the physics are jankier and I think the original versions of each game are more fun, I think the overall package is fairly impressive, at least from a content/quality standpoint.
    3D All-Stars to me has always just felt like a bit lazy and unfinished. They have to pad out the menus with each game's music tracks to give the façade that the collection has a substantial amount of content. Sunshine had game dev assets shown because the developers didn't properly hide them in their emulation of it. Every game varies in its aspect ratio, resolution, and frame rate, which isn't incredibly noticeable, but still feels like something that could've been ironed out with more development time.
    What really sours 3D All-Stars for me though was the pricing model, having it be a limited run. I don't have an issue with them limiting the production of units to cut costs, or eventually halting production due to dwindling interest over time; I mostly have an issue with Nintendo essentially scaring everyone into pre-ordering as fast as possible to beat the scalpers, especially because of how bad scalpers were during the pandemic era. I don't want to assume Nintendo had ill-intent in this situation, but it does come across as an attempt to boost their fiscal quarter rather than how they framed it as "oh, we're limiting the sale window because this is meant to be a special event for Mario's birthday".
    I'd say neither collection is perfect, and if I was forced to choose between the two I'd have to choose 3D All-Stars just because there's more content there. But overall, I still have a greater appreciation for what All-Stars could pull off at the time versus what 3D All-Stars did in our modern day. All-Stars felt like a celebration of the Mario series up until that point, while 3D All-Stars felt like the bare minimum Nintendo had to do.

    • @PScoopYT
      @PScoopYT 7 місяців тому +2

      Regarding the third point: It's how Nintendo treated anniversary stuffs. Even though I also don't agree with the idea.
      And it's funny how they end up overprinted the physical copies anyway, so even years later you still can get a copy easily. (Same goes for the new Game & Watch units as well, it's clear those were a niche product and it's not so valuable to people that they're gonna buy it from scalpers)

      I agree if we're comparing All Stars SNES to All Stars 3D. The SNES title was clearly more ambitious, even if (as you said) I still find the NES games to ultimately be the superior versions.
      But if we're comparing AS3D to the Wii version of All Stars... oof. No. Sticking a single SNES rom on a disc and charging $30 for it was completely absurd, even with the additional trinkets they included. The ten sound effects on the soundtrack disc likely took up more space than the All Stars rom.

Something no one talks about is that all 3 games are ligit roms of the original games and sold on an emulator cartridge. No joke. If you extract the files... Its ligit an Emulator. Which is funny because Nintendo hates emulation, homebrew, and piracy (which I can understand piracy, I don't agree with piracy either... at least for games still available publicly through the company.) with a passion to the point of sueing anyone they catch... And actually breaking laws to win the cases... At least USA laws from what I can gather of their... interesting history. IDK why they think that they can sue us with their Japanese laws... Homebrew and emulators are legal in the USA... And Nintendo, because it's illegal in Japan, are sueing USA citizens for laws that don't apply to them! Like why...? So in total...

      What Mario does when he hits a block is exactly the same as in the NES version; the reason it’s different is because in the NES game you would bonk against another invisible block that doesn’t get loaded in the SNES version. There’s a good article about it on cohost by Retro Game Mechanics Explained called “RGME Article #7: Brick Consistency” that goes into detail about it.

    I really don’t understand why Nintendo just doesn’t want to do HD remakes of Nintendo 64 games. A lot of these games really could use the update. It just seems like an obvious thing to do. Games like Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time really deserve to be brought to the modern era properly by being completely remade from the ground up with modern HD visuals, updated controls/ movement, and fully orchestrated soundtracks.

    It was extraordinarily bad timing that not only the Mario 64 decompilation (and subsequent ports to every device on the planet) but also Render96 came out at the same time. It doesn't help that the AI-upscaled Mario 64 assets and Sunshine cut-scenes were pretty blurry, not to mention that Galaxy's emulation had reduced color counts for performance reasons.

With this bug, imagine how would Yoshi work without motion controls.

    @legoboy7107 7 місяців тому +6

    The thing with that weird quirk with Mario 1's brick-breaking physics in All-Stars is that that's actually a bug that Nintendo never fixed. What happens there is that they accidentally reversed the direction Mario gets pushed in when he hits the brick, like when he breaks it he's supposed to be sent at x velocity downwards, but instead he gets sent at x velocity but upwards. A bug like this could be as simple as accidentally removing or adding a minus sign in the code, that's how simple it is.
    There's a fan-made patch for the game that fixes this and it makes the All-Stars version of Mario 1 SO much better, arguably the definitive version of the game at that point (not necessarily for Lost Levels but I'm not gonna get into the details there; basically All-Stars, while it makes Game Overs more lenient in Lost Levels, also makes various other negative changes that harm the game and make it much more frustrating in some parts, mainly 8-3 and the bonus worlds). I highly recommend that if anyone wants to play All-Stars they play with this patch applied, I even applied it to my Wii copy (not the original 25th Anniversary release, the Nintendo Selects rerelease, got it in 2016) though the method to do so is a bit complicated, alongside a few other mods I felt like adding.
    I wish Nintendo themselves would go back and fix this bug for rereleases of All-Stars, but they never will because they don't want to alter their old games for the sake of preservation. Which makes sense for something like NSO, but the Wii version would have been the perfect opportunity to fix it if they had actually put effort into that release, especially since All-Stars should never have had that bug to begin with back in the 90s.
    Also this is completely unrelated to the rest of my comment, but to clarify for anyone who keeps saying this, All-Stars on SNES is NOT a collection of remakes, they're not built from the ground up at all: all 4 games are direct ports running nearly the exact same code as the NES versions, just with new sprites, sound, and a save feature added, and a few tweaks made here and there (mostly with Mario 1 and LL, less so with Mario 2 and Mario 3 is nearly untouched). Meaning it's really a collection of remasters, and thus technically the same thing as 3D All-Stars. Hence why many original bugs and even debug modes and unused content from the NES versions are still present in All-Stars, that would not happen if they were remakes. So _technically speaking_ even the original release of All-Stars isn't that different from 3D All-Stars, it just _feels_ a lot more substantial and not remotely as lame. It was still a great collection nonetheless, it doesn't have to be remakes because the NES originals were already great.

    Honestly, I still prefer playing Galaxy on Wii from now on. Not only because the Wii Remote and Nunchuk feel more comfortable in my hands compared to the Joycons and even the pro controller, but it’s the little things they removed that make the 3DAS version inferior in my eyes, like the removal of Miis in the file select (I know that’s unnecessary in the first place but adding your Mii felt more like it was YOUR file and not some red plumber guy’s file), the gyro in the pointer going out of sync every minute, and the lack of Wii Remote sounds. I know the Joycons don’t have a speaker in them but the removal of these sounds leaves the game with less oomph. Stuff like the whimsical star bit sounds, the clicking in menus, the loud and in your face launch star noise, these alongside many other sounds make the game feel more magical every time I play it, while the lack of these in 3D All-Stars feels a bit too… empty.

Playing SM64 in the compilation feels like that as well, because they polished the details, like the fonts, or the user interface, etc. So when I am playing this version is like I am playing the version I played back then, but when I boot in the NSO the version of the game I actually played then it feels different, because now I can see how that game visually has aged, also I am from Europe so the experience is actually slower, so in my memory I remember it like the 3D All stars version.

But as barebones as 3D All-Stars is, when my phone was broken like a week or two ago I was wanting to listen to music, when I suddenly had a visceral flashback to the reveal of 3D All-Stars. In the reveal video, a woman is seen using the music player mode on her switch as she tucks it into her handbag, and that’s exactly how I used it it, and despite how nerdy and ridiculous it is, it’s honestly kinda nice to have these tracks available in an official format than having to scour the internet to find the soundtracks cause they’ve been copyright claimed by…oh ya… Nintendo.

So I remember playing a Mario All Stars that was just the NES games in a compilation...no upgraded graphics or anything, just a re-release with the 4 games on it. Like I remember the same exact menu to choose the game...but the upgrades SNES graphics I don't remember AT ALL.

    Super Mario All-Stars was probably my first or one of my earliest Super Nintendo games when I was a kid. I played Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA) and Super Mario Bros. 3 a lot on it. Super Mario Bros. 1 sometimes, The Lost Worlds (SMB2 Japan), not as often. So I grew up with the physics of All-Stars which kind of threw me off playing the original SMB1 NES (so I'm opposite on that).
    Then I visited a kid's house that had Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World (which was my first time playing Super Mario World), I was so confused. For a long time, I was like, "How do I unlock Super Mario World in Super Mario All-Stars"? I eventually found out that it was just a separate, updated version of the compilation.
    When I heard about the Super Mario All-Stars Wii port, which was a lot later than the 20th anniversary (was I living under a rock for some years?), looking it up that it was just a straight-up port of the original SNES game and with the prices inflating on Amazon, I was like NOPE! Not worth the $75+ on Amazon. If it had the Super Mario World re-release, then I would probably have considered it since I didn't have Super Mario World on SNES or GBA.
    As for Super Mario 3D All-Stars, I have no problems with it. But yeah, I can understand that the Super Mario 3D-All Stars compilation was disappointing for people that already had these games without too many additions.
    - I never had Super Mario 64 on Nintendo 64 (I did have the Nintendo DS remake), Super Mario Sunshine (I have played a demo once), and Super Mario Galaxy (but I did have Galaxy 2 on my Wii U from the eShop when that was on sale at the start). So the games that were bundled in Super Mario 3D All-Stars was perfect to me given I didn't have these Mario games.
    - However, for the definitive Super Mario 64 experience, I would rather play either the unofficial enhanced ports on other consoles/PCs from the decomplication or the Nintendo DS remake since the 3D All-Stars version is in 4:3 (why didn't they make that 16:9 like they did with Sunshine? Emulated N64 games support widescreen hacks too).
    - But I will use the collection for Sunshine and Galaxy while I play Galaxy 2 on my Wii U.

    I think by the metrics of virtual console, the game is lacking a bit. After all N64 games were usually $10, Wii games were $20 which means GameCube would’ve been about $15.
    I appreciate the game for bringing down the price of Sunshine in the second hand market. That game alone was at least $50 before.
    I think just one more big addition would’ve helped. Maybe including 64DS with analog movement or Galaxy 2 would’ve gone a long long way.

    I remember the 25th Anniversary game came out when I was 10 or so, and begging my parents to buy it for me for Christmas. I got this, Wii Party, and DKC Returns on Christmas Day! Good times :)

    The “5” anniversaries are a big deal, unless you’re Bomberman. Then for some reason the 33rd is what’s exciting.

    Mario galaxy 2 could have been the “Mario lost levels” of 3d all stars
