Super Mario 3D Land

[New Super Mario]

I don't really like the Boomerang Power. I would've rather seen some SMG powers return like Cloud Mario.

You CLEARLY don't realize just what kind of people this game is appealing to...

Boomerang Mario = Hammer Bros. Suit + new twist

Hammer Bros. Suit = Super Mario Bros. 3

Tanooki Suit = Super Mario Bros. 3

Boom Boom = Super Mario Bros. 3

It's ALL about Super Mario Bros. 3 in this game!

I know, just saying

There will have hammer power up,

Hammer Bro = Hammer Suit

Fire Bro = Fire Flower

Boomerang Bro = Boomerang Mario

It's all about Super Mario Bros. 3, but without the Koopalings. Instead, we get back the False Bowsers. Not that that's a bad thing or anything.

I don't see why the Koopalings aren't in it

 

[YamiHoshi]

Also, the main theme reminds me to Super Mario Bros. 3.

 

[yoshidude99]

Yeah I think it is a remix of SMB3 and Whomps Fortress music.

I swear Koizumi hates the Koopalings or something. Junior was in the first Mario Galaxy and that was it, he has not appeared in his games since. The first 7 haven't appeared at all.

False Bowsers are unoriginal and despite the transition to 3D and all the possible puzzles it could bring, I have a feeling they'll get old pretty fast.

This tail thing is also getting a little out of hand. Bob-ombs with tails? False Bowser with a tail? No thanks.

Um, have you not played New Super Mario Bros. Wii? And Junior has appeared in Mario Party DS, Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Super Sluggers, New Play Control!: Mario Power Tennis, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Mario Sports Mix after Super Mario Galaxy, so I don't know what the heck you're talking about.

 

[yoshidude99]

Yeah he's been in nearly every sport game after that too

None of those (barring the Mario galaxy series) were directed by Yoshiaki Koizumi, the man behind Super Mario Sunshine, the Super Mario Galaxy series and Super Mario 3D Land:

All of his games do not have the Koopalings in them. They instead feature Junior in two (Sunshine & Galaxy 1) but none of the others.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii was directed by Shigeyuki Asuke and produced by Takashi Tezuka, the same man who worked on the original Super Mario Bros. TOTALLY different teams. Just because Nintendo makes a Mario game doesn't mean it's by the same group of people.

Look at Mario Kart 7, it's being developed by Retro Studios, the same people behind the Metroid Prime series!

 

[yoshidude99]

They made DKCR too didn't they?

 

[Ironfoot]

That they did, great game. It was actually challenging which is like a breath of fresh air for the genre. All of the older platformers were challenging too. My friends had such a hard time with the final boss.

Eh? Their involvement is limited to making one track and "other Donkey Kong-related assets".
