To me, its another form of world-building. It's a small thing, but seeing everything connect makes it all feel like the part of a large world, which is a nice little touch. That's why I understand it's nothing different from a segmented map, technically, but its a nice little touch.Quote:

You could pause when Mario was crossing a bridge, and that fish just keeps jumping again and again.
Played through the first world, the Acorn Plains, and it's great stuff so far. Game looks fantastic and vibrant, and level design is top-notch so far.
Eh, i will wait for an impression after the new car smell has worn off.
I'm already aware of the common gripes of this game. Visuals, music, etc. being the same thing (it's similar, not the same). I'm more interested in how level layouts work. NSMB on DS was awful, it was amazing on Wii and 3DS is pretty solid.
One thing I've seen is that the Pad can ONLY be used for an in-game player in solo mode. Add another player and you get flipped to block-laying. Kinda sucks...I thought that would only happen when you try to introduce a 5th person.
the block laying is so so lame in this
Like, that LUA script that adds Canvas Curse line drawing to Mario 3 or even the one where you can throw around SMB1 objects with the mouse are a million times cooler.
It's impossible to resist the urge to be an asshole with the blocks though. Jumping over that pit? don't think so.
Ghost houses in this game are just so fucking awful. And the mini-boss castles bosses are so bad. Just the easiest thing ever and it doesn't change at all. They add a gimmick to the fight that doesn't matter.
You didn't like the Swaying Ghost House in Frosted Glacier? I just played through it yesterday, so it's fresh in my mind, but I think it's pretty neat to figure out and get all the coins, plus the secret exit.Quote:
