Topic: Super Mario 3D World - OT

Peach will still get captured half way through the game.

I doubt it, what if you're playing in four player mode?

I guess Yellow Toad could hop in, but I doubt that will happen.

But Yellow Toad wouldn't handle like Peach.

Yeah, you don't let someone play as a character with a whole bunch of unique abilities, then forcefully take them away mid game and make them figure out how to play as someone completely different without warning.

And that's why it won't happen.

Peach has a twin sister that gets captured....her name is...um....uhhhhhh.....
moment of silence
....P-p-....Pooch?

How about Pear?

gets shot

A bell factory with eyes!

I'd say either Plum or Nectarine.

How about Daisy instead? Sure she would just be a DiD (damsel in distress) replacement for Peach, but at least she would be in a Mario game is ISN'T a sports/party/racing title for the first time since...well since her first appearance really.

Any theories on what could happen if all the green stars are collected?

hmm good question, wasnt there something like it in 3d land?
im sure ive seen something saying they've been in a game before, or something like them at least.

3D Land had Star Coins/Medals, Galaxy 2 had Green Stars as a post-game thing. In Galaxy 2, Green Stars were hide-n-seek stars and getting them all unlocked the hardest level in the game. 3D World's replaced the Star Coins with said Green Stars. They could do anything really.

@Big-Daddy: Luigi is upset because he was beat by Mario to the top of the goal. It is his year, and yet he loses. EDIT: Why is Mario's cat suit gold and not red. Luigi's should be gold! It's his year!

Is it me or do 3D World's graphics look beautiful?

The graphics are good, but I don't like the concept of the game.

You don't like the concept of a 3D Mario using 2D Mario mechanics?
Sometimes, I feel 64 should've been Mario World gone further with 3D models and all that.

I do like the 2D used in 3D, but I don't like how multiplayer will be done for it. Super Mario 3D Land was pretty good, but with multiplayer added, it could make it annoying. The gameplay is amazing, but the multiplayer is something of which I will not like. I also don't like the shared lives (it looks like shared lives on the screen shots).

@Varia01 - I don't think shared lives are too bad of an idea but there is certainly a flaw to it. Multiplayer itself can't be bad persay. It won't be forced or anything. It might be inconvenient during the Sea Serpent level, for example; since everyone can control it but then, you'd just talk to your partners. I can't see any multiplayer problems that only this game will suffer. A lot of games with multiplayer share some issues.

I don't know if any of you know this, but in this game when you have one person grab multiple power ups, like say if Mario is already in cat form and he grabbed an extra bell, that extra item will go into an inventory that other players can access whenever they want. I think that is a far better solution then the 2D Marios where you take the unneeded power up and it just disappears.
