Mario Sports Superstars

OMG , just finished the Special Cup in Golf as Rosalina and it was HELL.

Literally , i was struggling so much because the freaking tournament table screwed me over.

ONLY power characters.

Me (Rosalina) vs First Match (Wario) , Second Match (DK) and Final Match (Bowser)

It was horrible , specially against Bowser because he has slightly better range than Rosalina and the CPU always tied with me! So annoying lol.

Yeah, I had a similar uphill battle as Baby Luigi, except worse because he's the weakest golfer in the game. However, to make up for it, he won't screw up as badly if you don't align the bars properly, unlike, say, Bowser or Donkey Kong.

I think the course itself, Wild Valley, has lots of hard problems, like, especially putting on the green and some of its beastly Par 3 holes (I'm looking at the one with the high island, yeah, Baby Luigi LOVES heights with his low trajectory balls). The irony is that Wild Valley uses the exact same ambient sound effects as Lakitu Valley and Cheep Cheep Forest from Toadstool Tour, the easiest courses in that game (lol trivia).
 
This is my retaliation (also I won two medals take that Rosalina)

This game made me realise that all the bad and lazy Mario games seem to be the ones with a large cast these days....hmmmmm
 
This is not a bad and lazy Mario game.

Yes it is. I got it (in a "special" way) and the football was just pitiful. Everyone moves like magnets and the 30FPS does not help. Also, they have perfectly fine original renders of the characters to use as cards....yet we got recycled art instead. Need I mention the terrible voice direction of the game? I counted two unused Daisy voice clips which didn't get used for a reason.
 
I'll admit, soccer/football could use some work. There have been several points were it feels like the computer is overruling my controls. But it is not by any means a bad game. I'm certainly having fun with it, tennis is so far my favorite sport here (though, that's probably because it's the most familiar to me). The graphics are great, the gameplay is mostly solid, and the cards has a good mixture of recycled and new art.

Not a perfect game, sure, but not a bad one either.

No it's not.

30 fps? So that means the game runs normally on a handheld device. That's good to know. How does that make it bad again?

Also, you sound like a person who came in expecting soccer to play exactly like Strikers and be exactly like Strikers and play identically like Strikers.

This does not impact the quality of the game itself. At all.

I personally think it has better voice direction than Mario Kart 8, and having unused "muh waifu" voice clips doesn't automatically translate to "lol bad voice direction"
 
The Horse aspect of Mario Sports Superstars is the best part of Mario Sports Superstars and I hope there is a game entirely based on horse racing. Gameplay itself needs work, though, as there is little strategy to beating computers beyond from learning the course and saving all three boosts for last part of the race. Unless all three people are boosting at once, it's better to just let the herd effect make you catch up naturally. IDK what you can do if you fall far behind and by yourself.
