Cool vid, and I have to agree with the grab button, omfg I tossed my wife and daughter off the edge so many times... They won't play with me much anymore -_-
This is probably my 2nd favorite 3D Mario game right behind Galaxy 2. I love the bright colorful level design, the wide array of power-ups, all the different characters, and the soundtrack is pretty sweet. I especially love Double Cherry Pass and the remix of the Gusty Garden Galaxy theme.
no offence or anything but I find galaxy 1 to be the better game, sure galaxy 2 is good but its a bit overrated, it has a lot of padding with little to no changes, sure the same can be said about galaxy 1, but 100%ing galaxy one doesnt require you to play it as both luigi and mario, and galaxy 1 offered more new content than galaxy 2 which seemed more of the same thing with sure new things but not as much as galaxy 1, as for 3d world, I'll need to actually play that one, which I plan on doing, this game looks fun as hell
My favorite 3D Mario game of all time. This game is just amazing. It's incredibly fun, the soundtrack is awesome (I can't get enough of World Bowser's Map theme) and the fact that Peach not only isn't kidnapped but is playable along with Luigi, Toad and Rosalina once you unlock her really shows that Nintendo can do something different with their franchises (that and I'm a huge sucker for platformers with multiple playables characters). "My pelvis doesn't go that way" ROFL
"I would like to see Mario return to a format like Super Mario 64 or Super Mario galaxy." says Johnny. 4 years later, we got Super Mario Odyssey! Such an awesome game!
4:44 Everyone who calls this game "Just the 3DS game in HD with 4 way multiplayer" *clearly* hasn't actually played it. "Nintendo makes the same games over and over again", *my ass*...
+BlueDragon992 Then those people go play Call Of Duty or something that gets a new sequel every few years, yes Nintendo does use the same "Formula" but then so does COD, so you can either dislike sequels that are frequently released every few years or you can like COD but not both.
I think the thing that bothers me is that people keep saying this about 3D World, while many of the same people conveniently ignore that the same could be said of Galaxy 2, which, while a really fun game, was definitely not innovative or really pushing Galaxy's formula that much forward.
Considering I played all of 3D World by myself...yes, it it the 3DS game in HD. That's not a BAD thing, but when you've played enough New Super Mario Bros., you get reeeeeeeal tired of it.
"Hey man, what're you playing? "Super Mario 3D World. It's a sequel to Mario 3D lan-" "ErhMAhGuRD, nINtedDUrk kePs on MilKIng THeiR frAnchisEs, they neEd to mAke something orIGinal" *Goes on to play COD, a game series which changes about as fast as erosion* Please, if someone can tell me where the logic in this is, I'll come dig it up with you.
I honestly love the 2D 3D Mario mix for 3D world and land. It brings the movement from its 3D games and its iconic staples from its 2D games flags,power ups,question mark boxes. It was a great game with new ideas as well. Look I know some people complain about it not being fully 3D in its exaction but relax just enjoy the game. I'm sure Nintendo will release a new 3D Mario game for the future that plays like 64 or Galaxy.
I haven't seen much of Super Mario Odyssey, but I hope it will be closer to Super Mario 64 in it's open-ended-ness and expansive control scheme, but also close to the 2D games in how the power-ups work, the blocks, and some moments of linear level-like platforming. Also, thank goodness the triple jump will be back. Hopefully the midair dive will be as well.
I played this by myself and was absolutely blown away by how much I fell in love with it. This is probably one of my favorite Mario games of all time next to Mario 64 and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The graphics were beautiful, the soundtrack was phenomenal, I love being able to play as other characters, there was a ton of level variety, and the special worlds were tear-your-hair-out frustrating, yet still enticing enough for me to say "ONE. MORE. TRY." for hours on end. I already 100% completed the game, but just watching this review makes me want to go boot up a new save file and get lost in the game all over again.
The Mushroom and Flower worlds do deserve a thumbs-up for originality. Sure, they're made of older levels that are often just with tougher enemies, but others mix things up by being speedruns (like in Galaxy 2) or having different colors (including monochrome/black-and-white). That said, I don't go back to them much. Maybe I'll check them out more now that the Game Grumps are reminding me of them. I'm surprised at how quickly you brought these latest 3 reviews out. They're so well thought-out and highly edited.
That's an interesting concept, with the color changing and stuff. But I guess it bums people when they think they have two more worlds of game play but they just contain modified versions of previous levels. There could have been a better way to go about that concept so that people don't get annoyed by that.
+brokenSCART Nah, just the color pallet and the use of 1080p makes it look gorgeous. But it isn't as good looking as some of the great looking games on current gen hardware. Eg. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is beautiful as well.
***** It's 720p? Lol, didn't even know. I wasn't saying that it was shit looking. I certainly think it is gorgeous. I just say that it's not as good looking as current gen games. But this is a stupid argument because: 1. Wii U and current gen hardware shouldn't be compared because of how different it is. 2. Graphics don't really matter enough to be argued about.
+Magic Potato I'd argue that, artistically, it blows the tits off ANYTHING on the ps4 etc. Ps4 games are obsessed with looking as good as possible with lighting effects, shaders particles and so on but you're always close to a wonky texture or animation freak out. This is fucking. Solid. It's almost like playing a cartoon. It's so polished you can see your face in it. No frame rate drops, beautiful colours, stunning and natural looking effects, fluent animation... It's probably the most solid 3D I have ever seen. Look at that title screen. LOOOOOOOK AAAAAAT IIIIIIT
brokenSCART Well, hell yeah. But thats not what we were talking about... right? XD Tbh, as much as Mario 3D Land is gorgeous, I think it is nothing compared to some of the gorgeous games on current gen hardware. No, I am not just talking about games like Witcher 3, but since we are talking about cartoonish games, I'll use a cartoonish game as an example. Terraway is probably on par with Mario 3D Land, but something that truly blows it out of the water for me is Ori and the Blind Forest. Such a gorgeous game. I'd suggest to try it out one day to see what I mean. Imo, it looks 10 times better than Mario 3D Land.
Matthew Matelli was later found buried with a Wii mote lodged in his esophagus. Great review, Johnny. I hope to see you guys try 3D World as a Let's Play soon.
AutZentus after you review one smash game there really isn't a point of making a review for the others. yeah there's new shit but not enough to grant it it's own review imo
Man Johnny is truly the best video game reviewer, I've spent my time with a lot of different youtubers and I've never enjoyed them as much as I enjoy Johnny, I mean he's actually FUNNY! I wish i could show more respect to him by subscribing multiple times! Keep your great quality up Johnny you as truly my favorite
to be completly honest, this is what I think a 3D mario game should be. Dont get me wrong, I love galaxy and galaxy 2, and 64 is pretty good too, and sunshine is ok, nut these two really define "Mario" for me
Nothing ends a review better than Matt's laughter hahaha! Another brilliant marathon Johnny, much like the Mario games your videos have followed a really similar format for a long time, but they never fail to be entertaining! :)
Hey past Johnny! It’s me from the future! The world is shit but at least the games are awesome! I was actually upset when I got this game. It was Christmas of 2014 and I wanted to play the new Mariokart game ever since I was introduced to video games and Mariokart Wii at my local after school program. Because Mariokart 8 was so popular, my parents couldn’t find it. So instead, I got Nintendoland and Super Mario 3D world. I was pretty disappointed at first and I ended up resenting the game for a while. I wasn’t very good at it and I never really played it much. However, that all changed last year. I was bored out of my mind and I decided to set up my old Wii U in my room. I played through Super Mario 3D world and I loved it. Naturally, I was pretty excited when a remaster for the switch was announced. And because it was my birthday about a week before it came out, I decided to pick it up for the switch. This has become one of my favorite games of all time and being one of the only people to own a Wii U in my Highschool, I’m glad that more people are able to experience this game! Thanks for getting me into Mega Man by the way, that’s a franchise I learned lots about by watching your videos. Thanks for all of the entertainment and I hope you’re able to keep making good content! Don’t know why I’m typing so much and I’m not sure if you’ll read this but if you do, thanks!
this was released the day after I beat the Crown-Crown level and this is like a reward like,"You beat this impossible level? Well then have a SomecallmeJohnny review."
Eva Snaer I think those two are the main reason that everybody wants him to have another zelda marathon, but I would like him to play ss and the handheld games as well.
This was a great marathon, Johnny! Loved every single one of the episodes! For the next marathon I hope for Zelda to come back.. or Month of horror games because... October. :D
I think the chaoticness is part of what makes this game so dang fun. I mean, from what I can tell the game is meant to be played competitively instead of cooperatively. the amount me and my friends have had trying to race to see who can get the green stars first or just simply screwing each other over so someone won't make it to the top of the flag pole. I did all the back tracking myself for the stuff I'd missed mind you, but everything after was just an incredible experience for me since this game just wouldn't let up throwing new things at you around every corner. Oh well, great review man!
SomecallmeJohnny, you picked a great time to upload this video, because the moment you uploaded this video, it was on my birthday, which was 4 days ago! And I gotta say Johnny, it was a really nice birthday present too, because I got a lot of laughs from the video! Thanks for making my birthday so damn awesome, John! ;)
my cats actually respect my property, they normally step over my homework if its out. Now when they rest on the textbook, that's when they want my attention.
Sonic games also manage to use up his time a lot more than other games. Just look at the Sonic 06 review; multiply its length by 4 and you have the length of Clement's review. That's scarily close.
Personally, I don´t think length was that much of an issue. As long as these reviews are enjoyable, thought-provoking and gives me something to come back to them much later in the future, I´m good.
just watched three or four of these johnny vs in a row and i am absolutely loving it... subscribed. Great work on these videos, Johnny your passion for the medium really comes across.
I'm honestly surprised you didn't make a Freedom Planet hook at the end of this video. Speaking of this video, your take on the game is spot-on to mine, except the fact that you need green stars to advance bugs me. I generally am not a fan of fetch quests required to beat the main portion of a game. As a sidequest, sure, but don't make me get 100 sun tokens/green stars/magic fart bottles to beat the main story.
You literally can breeze the levels in 3 minutes flat each if you ignore everything,the green stars are there to make sure you explore a bit more and most are in a convenient spot during your current path
You literally can breeze the levels in 3 minutes flat each if you ignore everything,the green stars are there to make sure you explore a bit more and most are in a convenient spot during your current path
I understand, but it's not like they give you much time anyway. A normal stage gives 300 seconds, which is 5 minutes. Getting a level done in 3 minutes with a 5 minute cap is reasonable, and forcing the player to hunt around can be frustrating. I don't mind it as a bonus objective though. I think New Super Mario Bros. (As well as 2, Wii, and U) handled it really well. But, to each their own.
Toxic Atom I'd say it's the time limit that's the real problem, not the green star collecting. There shouldn't be a time limit in a game like this. Collecting the stars without the stress would be fine to me because I like exploring for stuff, as long as the collectibles aren't cryptic. I doesn't make the game super short. And I'm sure there's someone out there who loves this game a lot more than he/she would because it has stars that you need to collect to continue, just like in Super Mario 64.
a smash bros marathon really wouldn't be necessary. The only gameplay is the fighting, target/platforms and other stuff. the subspace isn't something to be written home to
***** There's more to cover with Mother/Earthbound. I mean wouldn't it be nice to like Ness for more than just _That secret character in Smash 64?_ Or wouldn't it be nice to understand why people actually _like_ Lucas and are genuinely disappointed that he didn't make it into the next Smash Brothers?
I love this game. I remember not being convinced the game would separate itself from 3D Land until I saw the second trailer as well. Its fun to play through the well designed levels and both the cat suit and double cherry are two of my favorite power ups of all time. The music was good. Piranha Creeper Creek's theme is my favorite. As for the multi-player, you need to have your friends be the exact same skill level or else there will be chaos.
This game was fantastic with just 2 players... it never got too hectic and the second player made it easier to search for collectables. If you have a sibling or a friend that doesn't suck at video games, definitely play it that way!
Its amazing how the day this review came out, Walmart had the game on sale for 25 dollars. Amazing timing, finally picked it up, haven't regretted it since!
Liked as soon as you started talking about cats. Idk why, it's just I didn't know you had cats and they're adorable and hearing you baby-talk them made my heart explode from awesomeness.
This is the 1st Mario game since Super Mario 64 that I really enjoyed but it also dawned on me that I was legitimately unengaged during much of the game. It wasn't sucked it. I just kind of played the game. Unless the next Mario game does some drastic stuff in the future, this might be where I hang my coat up on this series. The game's aren't getting shittier. I'm just getting tired of them.
Caleb Jaaniste Super Mario Sunshine I absolutely didn't like. I tried with every fiber of my being to like it but I just couldn't. The pacing was all over the place and me being a completionist of sorts, I wanted to best everything in the game and unlike Mario 64, it wasn't fun and it just pissed me off. Now the Galaxy series is weird for me. I think the first was weaker but the presentation is better. Galaxy 2 was immediately fun but felt like forgettable once I walked away from it. Chalk it up to playing Ratchet and Clank games prior to the Galaxy games made me jaded to the whole concept of Mario going to space. I don't know what the hell it is with Mario games after Super Mario 64 but so many of them come off as great games that just don't stick out to me in any particular way. Galaxy series I give the benefit of the doubt as the platforming is unique but the others aside from those games and 3D World? Pff...can't tell you one thing about 'em. I really think Johnny should take a look at ONE more Mario game that he missed. Super Paper Mario. That game was fucking excellent and I would love to see more of that but challenging.
tokyobassist He'd have to look at all the Paper Mario games first. Also, they're RPGs (kind of), so there's no worth talking about them in relation to the main Mario games. I think Sunshine is weak as well - I was purely wondering with that one. I also think 64 is pretty weak and I still wonder why so many people like it more than most of the Mario games (or at least 3D Mario games). I didn't grow up with it though, so...
I must admit, when I first saw the E3 2013 trailer for Super Mario 3D World, I wasn't too excited for it. It seemed way too similar to 3D Land that came out a year and a half ago (at the time). However, after seeing subsequent trailers and gameplay videos, as well as finally owning a Wii U console and the game for myself, I can safely say that Super Mario 3D World is not the same as 3D Land. It's really fun, challenging, and full of collectibles and secrets. Definitely a must-have for any Wii U owner or Mario fan.
Question for everyone. Johnny did briefly comment on dealing with the game single player to get a nice feel for the game's qualities. What if it's the idea of having an equal experience for friends? While our playthrough of NSMBW was fun, I had played it before and as a result I knew of many surprises that got me the first time around. As such they wound up watching my character most of the time since I knew how to approach the levels instead of frolicking about carelessly. With all that in mind my question is if you have a deep fondness for coop would you feel it best to suspend a single player playthrough in favor of an ultimately better coop playthrough?
So that's one for multi. Funny that the hair pulling and screaming makes the game have that much more charm, really gets everyone invested and brings out the worst in us which ends with us all having a good laugh at how silly we sound.
I mean you gotta divide the anger, direct it all at one person and there isn't laughter and errors to drown out the actual legitimate insults. ...it also helps distract from any issues like that camera we're talking about, instead blame that dickhead who wanted to climb the mountain before everyone else!
BacklogAddict true. that is true for all "party games" speaking of, have you heard of the game fortune street? fuse monopoly, the stock market and mario party boards all in 1!

It was Christmas of 2014 and I wanted to play the new Mariokart game ever since I was introduced to video games and Mariokart Wii at my local after school program. Because Mariokart 8 was so popular, my parents couldn’t find it. So instead, I got Nintendoland and Super Mario 3D world. I was pretty disappointed at first and I ended up resenting the game for a while. I wasn’t very good at it and I never really played it much. However, that all changed last year. I was bored out of my mind and I decided to set up my old Wii U in my room. I played through Super Mario 3D world and I loved it. Naturally, I was pretty excited when a remaster for the switch was announced. And because it was my birthday about a week before it came out, I decided to pick it up for the switch. This has become one of my favorite games of all time and being one of the only people to own a Wii U in my Highschool, I’m glad that more people are able to experience this game! Thanks for getting me into Mega Man by the way, that’s a franchise I learned lots about by watching your videos. Thanks for all of the entertainment and I hope you’re able to keep making good content! Don’t know why I’m typing so much and I’m not sure if you’ll read this but if you do, thanks!
2 players is ideal for this one IMO
Love this review Johnny! And love the scenes with Matt and Eliot too! haha. As entertaining as always!
"GO! GO! GET THAT STAR CAPTAIN TOAD!!!" ROTFL
I lost ~300-400 loves on Champion's Road.
As you said, victory has never been so bittersweet.
great review but my favorite part is johnny and elliot fighting matt. lololololol
Wii u is a good console!!
this was released the day after I beat the Crown-Crown level and this is like a reward like,"You beat this impossible level? Well then have a SomecallmeJohnny review."
Now the stamps are actually useless
"MY PELVIS DOESN'T GO THAT WAY!"
-SomecallmeJohnny 2014
Atta' boy Elliot, when in doubt go for the wedgie.
That end rant on what Johnny wants from Mario I had to keep saying to myself “Odyssey Odyssey Odyssey it’s a fucking thing”
Have you checked out Captain Toad? I thought it was really fun. I really enjoyed the puzzle aspect of that game.
It would be pretty bad if you hadn't enjoyed the puzzle aspect but still played it though XD
10:38 "You and me. And me and and you. So happy together..."
For your next marathon you should review the modern zelda games, it's been over a year since the zelda marathon we've waited long enough.
I want him to review The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess already!
We waited 3+ years for another Mario marathon...so...
Caleb Jaaniste And he should review Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed!
Eva Snaer I think those two are the main reason that everybody wants him to have another zelda marathon, but I would like him to play ss and the handheld games as well.
Thank you for doing the Mario Marathon. I enjoyed your reviews overall.
This was a great marathon, Johnny! Loved every single one of the episodes!
For the next marathon I hope for Zelda to come back.. or Month of horror games because... October. :D
I think the chaoticness is part of what makes this game so dang fun. I mean, from what I can tell the game is meant to be played competitively instead of cooperatively. the amount me and my friends have had trying to race to see who can get the green stars first or just simply screwing each other over so someone won't make it to the top of the flag pole. I did all the back tracking myself for the stuff I'd missed mind you, but everything after was just an incredible experience for me since this game just wouldn't let up throwing new things at you around every corner. Oh well, great review man!
Who's here after the news?
Me
SomecallmeJohnny, you picked a great time to upload this video, because the moment you uploaded this video, it was on my birthday, which was 4 days ago! And I gotta say Johnny, it was a really nice birthday present too, because I got a lot of laughs from the video! Thanks for making my birthday so damn awesome, John! ;)
aww, Johnny, I love cats! They're so quiet and welcoming...unlike them yippy dogs who do nothing but pant all day :P
Sorry, cat lover bias.
my cats actually respect my property, they normally step over my homework if its out.
Now when they rest on the textbook, that's when they want my attention.
I like cats more than dogs, and i'd like to own one when I move out, but i'm allergic to them, damn it.
Doge I love much wow pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/378800000822867536/3f5a00acf72df93528b6bb7cd0a4fd0c.jpeg
Only panting all day? Have many dogs have you seen in your life?
I kinda hate dogs.... THERE I SAID IT
I really enjoyed the marathon, Johnny! Looking forward to seeing future reviews that you do!
Is it me or are Johnny's reviews getting shorter? His reviews used to be between 20-30 minutes and now there 10-15 minutes long
there was plot in the other reviews
sonicjms
This dude gets it.
SomecallmeJohnny After your break SPYRO THE DRAGON MARATHON:D You did Crash, why not our purple dragon?
Sonic games also manage to use up his time a lot more than other games.
Just look at the Sonic 06 review; multiply its length by 4 and you have the length of Clement's review. That's scarily close.
Personally, I don´t think length was that much of an issue. As long as these reviews are enjoyable, thought-provoking and gives me something to come back to them much later in the future, I´m good.
just watched three or four of these johnny vs in a row and i am absolutely loving it... subscribed. Great work on these videos, Johnny your passion for the medium really comes across.
GO! GO! GET THAT GODDAMN STAR CAPTAIN TOAD!!
"My Pelvis doesn't go that way" -John, 2014
This video video had everything.
Cats
Johnny
Super Mario
And somewhat WWE
Best video review ever on UA-cam!
Goddamn... this video is almost 4 years old... this game IS 4 years old... Time flies by so fast, I can't even comprehend... Happy New Year 2018 guys.
0:33 RIP Pudge :(
Classic SomecallmeJohnny vs. videos is the best.
Cool that YT recommended this review after the 2021 Switch port was announced.
2:11 I'm fucking dying
The ciaos is the funnest part. Playing a demo of this game with four other friends was the reason i decided to get a Wii U.
I can't wait for the SGB LP of this game. Hopefully coming up...?
'"MY PELVIS DOESN'T GO THAT WAY!" -Johnny 2014
I'm honestly surprised you didn't make a Freedom Planet hook at the end of this video.
Speaking of this video, your take on the game is spot-on to mine, except the fact that you need green stars to advance bugs me. I generally am not a fan of fetch quests required to beat the main portion of a game. As a sidequest, sure, but don't make me get 100 sun tokens/green stars/magic fart bottles to beat the main story.
You literally can breeze the levels in 3 minutes flat each if you ignore everything,the green stars are there to make sure you explore a bit more and most are in a convenient spot during your current path

I understand, but it's not like they give you much time anyway. A normal stage gives 300 seconds, which is 5 minutes. Getting a level done in 3 minutes with a 5 minute cap is reasonable, and forcing the player to hunt around can be frustrating. I don't mind it as a bonus objective though. I think New Super Mario Bros. (As well as 2, Wii, and U) handled it really well. But, to each their own.
Toxic Atom I'd say it's the time limit that's the real problem, not the green star collecting. There shouldn't be a time limit in a game like this. Collecting the stars without the stress would be fine to me because I like exploring for stuff, as long as the collectibles aren't cryptic. I doesn't make the game super short.
And I'm sure there's someone out there who loves this game a lot more than he/she would because it has stars that you need to collect to continue, just like in Super Mario 64.
Johnny is Gamercat, Elliot is Glitch, Matt is Sweet, and Mark is Pixel. XD
Hey SomecallmeJohnny, it would be cool to do a mother/earthbound marathon
a smash bros marathon really wouldn't be necessary. The only gameplay is the fighting, target/platforms and other stuff. the subspace isn't something to be written home to
It's just me, but I don't think its necessary due to how it really differs from the games he reviews
***** u want him to review it? just see his lets plays of it and u got everything u need
*****
There's more to cover with Mother/Earthbound.
I mean wouldn't it be nice to like Ness for more than just _That secret character in Smash 64?_
Or wouldn't it be nice to understand why people actually _like_ Lucas and are genuinely disappointed that he didn't make it into the next Smash Brothers?
FUZZY PICKLES, BOY!!
I love this game. I remember not being convinced the game would separate itself from 3D Land until I saw the second trailer as well. Its fun to play through the well designed levels and both the cat suit and double cherry are two of my favorite power ups of all time. The music was good. Piranha Creeper Creek's theme is my favorite. As for the multi-player, you need to have your friends be the exact same skill level or else there will be chaos.
"My pelvis doesn't go that way"
-Johnny
The way he just yells "Get away from me!" and "Go, go, get that green star captain toad!" at around 2:05 makes me die laughing every time.
This game was fantastic with just 2 players... it never got too hectic and the second player made it easier to search for collectables. If you have a sibling or a friend that doesn't suck at video games, definitely play it that way!
the internet IS cats johnny...
Its amazing how the day this review came out, Walmart had the game on sale for 25 dollars. Amazing timing, finally picked it up, haven't regretted it since!
I don’t get the Wii U hate, I had so many good memories with it
2:10
You absolutely should have shouted FUS RO DAH
Liked as soon as you started talking about cats. Idk why, it's just I didn't know you had cats and they're adorable and hearing you baby-talk them made my heart explode from awesomeness.
why did i not know for like 3 years you had a cat
He says they don't do anything and sleep all day, don't you listen?
Sombrero Moustache he mentioned his cat in one of his early lets plays.
megamike15 I don't watch his let's plays so this is new information.

3D World convinced me to get my WiiU ,that and WindWaker HD
When I saw the Sprixie fix the pipe between worlds for the first time, my friends and I said "That is NOT how you use a hammer!"
This is the 1st Mario game since Super Mario 64 that I really enjoyed but it also dawned on me that I was legitimately unengaged during much of the game. It wasn't sucked it. I just kind of played the game.
Unless the next Mario game does some drastic stuff in the future, this might be where I hang my coat up on this series. The game's aren't getting shittier. I'm just getting tired of them.
What was up with Sunshine and the Galaxy games?
Caleb Jaaniste Super Mario Sunshine I absolutely didn't like. I tried with every fiber of my being to like it but I just couldn't. The pacing was all over the place and me being a completionist of sorts, I wanted to best everything in the game and unlike Mario 64, it wasn't fun and it just pissed me off.
Now the Galaxy series is weird for me. I think the first was weaker but the presentation is better. Galaxy 2 was immediately fun but felt like forgettable once I walked away from it. Chalk it up to playing Ratchet and Clank games prior to the Galaxy games made me jaded to the whole concept of Mario going to space.
I don't know what the hell it is with Mario games after Super Mario 64 but so many of them come off as great games that just don't stick out to me in any particular way. Galaxy series I give the benefit of the doubt as the platforming is unique but the others aside from those games and 3D World? Pff...can't tell you one thing about 'em.
I really think Johnny should take a look at ONE more Mario game that he missed. Super Paper Mario. That game was fucking excellent and I would love to see more of that but challenging.
tokyobassist He'd have to look at all the Paper Mario games first. Also, they're RPGs (kind of), so there's no worth talking about them in relation to the main Mario games.
I think Sunshine is weak as well - I was purely wondering with that one. I also think 64 is pretty weak and I still wonder why so many people like it more than most of the Mario games (or at least 3D Mario games). I didn't grow up with it though, so...
Caleb Jaaniste Super Paper Mario isn't an RPG though. It's just a platformer.
tokyobassist Isn't it a mix of the two? I was assuming that, which is why I said "RPGs (kind of)"
I showed my brother this game. He looked at the cat suit and said, "This game is Japan"
i love Super Mario 3d World its my second favorite Mario game and it's million times better than 3d land
I must admit, when I first saw the E3 2013 trailer for Super Mario 3D World, I wasn't too excited for it. It seemed way too similar to 3D Land that came out a year and a half ago (at the time). However, after seeing subsequent trailers and gameplay videos, as well as finally owning a Wii U console and the game for myself, I can safely say that Super Mario 3D World is not the same as 3D Land. It's really fun, challenging, and full of collectibles and secrets. Definitely a must-have for any Wii U owner or Mario fan.
I like the cat suit in this game. it basically put the idea of climbing up was as a suitable action for platforming
Welcome to the under 300s!
How tough are ya!?
How tough am I? HOW TOUGH AM I!?!?! I once watched a 10 hour video....Without any breaks.
mccranky2 come on in.
How tough am I? I played a marathon of NES LJN games for 12 hours straight, and beat them all.
i searched something on google, and i didn't find it on the first page, but found it on the SECOND PAGE
i small bowl of jalapeno wings, without anything to drink.
LOL at the end, "My pelvis doesn't go that way!". Love ya Johnny Boy!
Question for everyone.
Johnny did briefly comment on dealing with the game single player to get a nice feel for the game's qualities. What if it's the idea of having an equal experience for friends? While our playthrough of NSMBW was fun, I had played it before and as a result I knew of many surprises that got me the first time around. As such they wound up watching my character most of the time since I knew how to approach the levels instead of frolicking about carelessly.
With all that in mind my question is if you have a deep fondness for coop would you feel it best to suspend a single player playthrough in favor of an ultimately better coop playthrough?
ALL of the yes. Multipayer is 95% funner (exept that camera. KILL WITH FIRE!) with others. Just expect to hate the camera.
So that's one for multi. Funny that the hair pulling and screaming makes the game have that much more charm, really gets everyone invested and brings out the worst in us which ends with us all having a good laugh at how silly we sound.
BacklogAddict I agree. But if you ARE going for multiplayer: 3 or 4. 2 is where you want to KIIIILLLLL the other ;)
I mean you gotta divide the anger, direct it all at one person and there isn't laughter and errors to drown out the actual legitimate insults. ...it also helps distract from any issues like that camera we're talking about, instead blame that dickhead who wanted to climb the mountain before everyone else!
BacklogAddict true. that is true for all "party games" speaking of, have you heard of the game fortune street? fuse monopoly, the stock market and mario party boards all in 1!
9:30 and so, 3 years later, Super Mario Odyssey happened.
