Wonder why they didn't just do this for 3D Allstars, instead of just sprucing up the flat "wallpaper" textures! https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1384199019467456

Old arcade veteran here, so Donkey Kong (Since you're playing Mario) Mario Bros. Then the arcade version of Super Mario Bros., since we didn't have an NES (didn't get that until over a year later).

This article https://www.creativebloq.com/3d/video-game-design/the-story-of-super-mario-64s-lost-sequel-codename-mario-128 says Super Mario Sunshine "ended up including many of the elements that would have been used in Mario [128]". I thought they always said Pikmin was what became of much of...

Super Mario Maker 2 Gets New Update Super Mario Maker 2 receives its first new update in over a year, which implements minor changes to improve the overall player experience. https://gamerant.com/super-mario-maker-2-update-patch-notes/ Nothing much it seems; bug fixes, and the very vague...

Got mine Fri.! Overall, the music and colors in some places reminds me of "Newer Super Mario Bros." (which I watched on YouTube years ago, and thought looked nice). Just like 3DW distinguished "Goombas" (the original ones with two part bodies that squish with one jump) from "Galoombas" (the SMW...

Just think, If Bowser actually TURNS INTO the Castle, when they play that castle level, it's actually "Bowser's Inside Story" again! 😁😁😁

Sorry; I didn't know those sources had any such bad reputation. The stuff I've seen looks legit ar far as coming releases, though thera is a lot of speculation, as to details.

That would be cool.d

For next system, next year. To use “Unreal” graphics engine, like Pikmin 4, *with its stunning graphics! https://youtu.be/rQoXIHGvwD4

Backgrounds remind me of Yoshi's Island. I remember not too long ago, when someone on Youtube speculated on what the next Mario platformer would be like, and if 2D, it seemed the NSMB series was a bit played out, and I wondered what else they could possibly do (other than the flattened 3DW style...

I was happy they made DK the son of Cranky. For one thing, this was evidently portrayed in the movie as the original Donkey Kong, who fought Mario on construction beams with barrels. I felt the canon was ruined when they began claiming this DK was actually "Cranky", and the current DK was either...

Well, Galaxy was over a decade ago, and when they picked up the NSMB series and then 3DL/W, they went back to upright. So I would call those the “modern” designs. (Odyssey I forget; do they even have Koopas, outside of the 2D sections?) But yes, my idea is that the upright ones (and which pop...

When SMW was released, they changed so many things; one of them redesigning the Goomba from a two-part mushroom body, to a single walking head, and that it no longer squished with one jump; you now had to jump on it twice, to flip it over, and then to kick it away (Basically like the old Koopa...

Buh-Bomb (B-Bomb), because that's how they pronounced it on the cartoon. Before that, I assumed it the way it's spelled; "Bob-omb", and then it figured the cartoon way was simpler to say.

https://youtu.be/V1RL1p1-l7g This video just came out, and it the end, it shows that they actually considered 3D graphics (albeit "2.5D" play) for SMBe (and the 3D checkered floor was the remnant of this idea)! Never knew this at all! (Reminds me of those 3D parts of Super Paper Mario). Even...
