Topic: Super Mario 3D World - OT

I personally would love a return to the adventure type Mario games (Mario 64/Mario Sunshine). I really love the open, living breathing worlds of those games in addition to the exploratory components. To me they offer the most personality and best atmosphere in any Mario game to date because the levels themselves have a continuity that other Mario games lack. I would love another Mario Sunshine or at least a Mario Sunshine HD remake.

Some people will criticize any IP of being a rehash. It seems like most of those complainers haven't even played that game.

The most common complaint about 3D World I've heard is that too easy at the start and that the bosses are too easy. IMO, since 3D World is so based on the "fun factor", I think that's an excellent design choice. All players will be able to beat the end Bowser in 3D World and have great fun along the way, but after that the challenges begin. And the first worlds make a great party game. Combined with the excellent jazzy soundtrack and its graphics design, I think 3D World stands out on its own quite well, compared to any other Mario game.

Personaly, this is one of my favorite Mario games, together with all stars and 64 ^^

But for some reasons, i stinks at those car stages

FINALLY! Just finished Champion Road after just 13 hours totally spent on this..only 4 characters left.. haha.

Have only seen gameplay from Galaxy but from what i can tell 3D World seems better, its nothing that im missing after watching those gameplays. But everyone has a opinion ofc. But have not actually played Galaxy..

How the heck am I supposed to beat a miicharacter thats finish the flagpole goal stage in 4 seconds?

The 2 Galaxy games are also great games. They are a quite different gaming experience than 3D World, and I'm not sure that gameplay videos can show that accurately.

I'm a big fan of 3D World but I'd say the Galaxy games are both better. Just watching videos definitely does not do them justice. Since the Wii U is backwards compatible, I'd say if you have the time and money, definitely give the Galaxy games a go some day.

My CN official Super Mario 3D world Soundtrack arrived yesterday and it is glorious I think I have played Snow ball park like ten times already.

An "making of" article about 3D World:

I can't get enough of this game! I was so upset when I thought I was about to beat it and then, Boom!
There's another bonus world!

don't be upset. i was acctually very happy if the game finished after beating bowser i wouldnt have been very impressed.

I have every level completed with Mario including flags but I have yet to complete "Champion's Road" and the last Mystery House. I kind of gave up for now, as it became too frustrating. My plan was to take a short breather to play Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and pick this back up later. I have played 3D World since then but I'm now replaying the game from the beginning and finishing each level with each character.

Yeah, you could do that if you been losing too many lives and you have no patience. Using a Tanooki or Cat Suit takes the fun and challenge out of it.

Rosalina also makes it much easier too. Depends on how good you use her though. With her, I can speed run that level very easily.
