Topic: Super Mario 3D World - OT

Has anyone beaten the "crown" level yet?
I lost like 60 lives and got roughly to the second green star. =/

Haven't even gotten past the Star's 3rd level, kept dying too much, so gave up and gave the game a small break for now. xD

I just found it and beat it tonight. It was easy for me, except the beat blocks cost me at least 70 lives because they were positioned so poorly, I assume they just threw it together and barely tested it, because it's really, really painfully precise. Like, battletoads precise. Also, am I supposed to beat every level with every character now? If so, that's stupid.

Also, I like this game considerably less now, because it crossed the line of referencing Super Mario Galaxy 12 miles back. Seriously, if I wanted to play SMG, I'd be playing flipping SMG. This game's strength was in it's originality.

To 100% the game, do you have to get the gold flag with every character as well, or will just once do?

From what I've heard, just once will do fine. Doesn't matter who gets the gold flag so long as you get it in general.

I often play as Mario or Peach.

i mainly go for mario, although i switch it up sometimes.

Peach and Toad, Peach for that delightful float, and Toad for Speed Running. I've already expressed my sentiments about the secret character, and as much as I like Mario and Luigi, they don't really appeal to me as much without a little gimmick.

You know how you have to complete the game with every character to 100% it/get every stamp? Does this include doing that difficult Crown level with every character?

Oh Jesus.

Worlds 1-8 done 100%

Bring on the special worlds.

The last level before you fight Bowser, I forget its name, where you're on a large rotating block moving through lava.

My word, so hard. I lost a lot of lives.

Yeah I didn't die as many times on that level....the special worlds are really going to drain your lives away though, be ready.

I'm gonna call it 100% when I get the last few stars in mystery house marathon. I'd do the other characters first if it didn't get that forced upon me after I made it to crown world. >:[

Get ready to be mesmerized with this UK TV ad for Super Mario 3D World:

They can't really make a TV advert better than that to be honest, just needs to up the frequency of how many times it gets shown.

Do you think we'll get dlc for this game then?

I can quite easily see them creating more Captain Toad and Mystery House levels. Ideally I'd love a world full of brand new levels.

I would love it if they made dlc "super luigi 3d world"

If they do add-on content or a downloadable expansion, I hope it's nothing like the New Super Luigi U expansion. I'd prefer a smaller number of more unique levels built around new themes that introduce a few new unique enemies, obstacles, and power-ups that weren't in the base game. It would also be cool if they gave us another playable character. I just want something that doesn't feel like completely recycled content (which is all Nintendo seems to be capable of with their downloadable content recently), even if it's less than a quarter of the base game's length (quality over quantity).

However, given recent comments from the game's producer, I'm highly doubtful Nintendo plans to create downloadable content for this game.

...So the special worlds are causing my hands to ache...lol
