Topic: Super Mario Bros. 35

In my experience, everyone who gets first place is 10X better than everyone who gets third place.

Are people counting the coin count to a person's skill? That only goes partially. Keep in mind first place doesn't lose coins for.. well.. losing, while everyone else does. I think you lose like half your coins if you die? While first place just GAINS a lot. Let's not forget you get even more if you happen to be able to score KOs which honestly could very much be random, getting KOs just requires more luck than skill.

So I wouldn't consider the coin count towards first place's skill level. Not entirely anyway. Unless they REALLY have a ton of it somehow.

I really enjoyed this game initially. Interest has severely waned, though.
I think the issue is the repetitive nature of it. While repeating levels is to be expected, I do 1-1 and 1-2 far too much. There's 32 levels and I don't see some of them very often, only when we're down to few players. I know it's likely programmed that way to not hit new players with 8-2 of 8-4 right off the bat, but I think the threshold is too high for when these levels start appearing. Have them start popping up more frequently when the counter hits the 20 mark, for example, so you get more variety in the levels.
I 'd love to see a 'winner' mode too. One that once you've won the regular mode adds Lost Levels to the mix to keep things a bit different.

I'm still playing, I have 3 levels to unlock and unlocked but not completed. The not completed level is 5-3, which I select every time I play but has never come up, I'm finishing in the top 5 almost half the time so i'm getting through a decent number of levels in each game - it's starting to get annoying!

Help! I can't download it and it's Mar10 day!
I go to the Online Membership area, go into Super Mario 35, tap Free Download and it goes to the eShop and just says Purchased with no option to download or open.
It's not listed in my Games and not showing in Re Download either.
Help please....I just want to play it before it's gone forever

So when is this thing actually gonna turn off? I can still get in games

@pilot Is it April Fool's on Nintendo if we can still play?

I just checked this game out of curiosity, and yep...it's no more.

Rest in peace, Super Mario Bros. 35.

Does anyone at Nintendo see this?

Mario 35 grew to not be a single player game, but a community event

This community timed out entry in to matches so we could play together, and got really really good at the game

Please for the love of God make this into a perma game, an even better one with closed matches, better level ques, and different levels

We will give you lots of money and it will turn into a recognised esport

Here is the last stream I was in with well over 150 at points:

"Last Mario 35 Viewer Lobby Stream ever." https://www.twitch.tv/possumplay/v/971819354?sr=a&t=8533s

Very unfortunate it all is. At least an explanation for removing it would be nice.

Don't worry, they'll pull a Tetris 99 and relaunch the game at 30 bucks.

@pilot The explanation was that it was a limited time thing.

@Tasuki That's not an explanation though. Yes, it was a limited time thing, so it was taken down because of that, but why was it a limited time thing? Why did it HAVE to be taken down?

@pilot What do you mean that doesn't explain anything it does. Limited time means something is around for a limited time.

@Tasuki I thought I was being clear but looking back I can see that I wasn't being very clear. Why was it a limited time thing? And because it was limited time is not an answer.

@pilot They made it for Mario's 35th anniversary. I remember reading an article on Nintendo Life where they said why they made certain games/products limited time, that was basically the reason they gave. An odd reason for sure, but it is what it is.

@pilot I was made a limited time thing to coincide with Mario's anniversy. Something special to celebrate his anniversary. Nintendo probably felt that it wouldn't have felt special if it wasn't a limited time thing.

Since someone made a thread, I figured we would talk about it here. Yeah, it's been almost a year since this game happened.

The only "royale" game from Nintendo that I liked...Tetris was...fine, but often I would just die before even 5 seconds. Skill means nothing when everyone targets you right at the start and you don't get a chance to do anything about it. I'm serious, i literally lost a game within the first few seconds. PAC-MAN...eh, it's...fine? I dunno, I didn't care for it much and would rather just play a normal PAC-MAN game, but the situation is kinda similar to Tetris, although I never died within the first few seconds, so there's that.

Then there's this game...yes things can get chaotic and I've been targeted CONSTANTLY here, but it's different. It felt way more balanced...and every single death I've had felt like it was actually my fault, and not from everyone else going after me. I also like how it's the first Super Mario Bros. game and we're using STRATEGY here, just thought that was funny. But yeah, of course Nintendo had to pull the plug ON THAT ONE, for some stupid reason.

I miss it, I ended up watching a 40-ish minute gameplay video I made myself just because, yeah...I miss that game. They could've expanded on this, too...Lost Levels (maybe SMB2 USA too? I dunno, lol), SMB3, heck I'd take the "New" levels as well. Maybe an offline mode with CPUs, I'd take that...

But nah, let's just pretend this game has never existed instead, because obviously no one cared for this game.

It was too good to last. : (

Like honestly, it was such a cool take on Mario 1. Mario 1 is so overdone by Nintendo that its obnoxious or boring, depending on my mood. But this is the best thing they did with it since DX on GBC. It changed up the whole game in such dynamic, fun ways that I'd love to see more platformers like it pull off.
