Topic: Super Mario 3D World - OT

I saw 2 different kind of ads from 3D World a few times over here in Germany.
It wasn't any live action. I think they showed some parts of the trailers and an announcer was talking about the game. ^^

Still thinking about getting this game...how hard is it? I've really been striving for a hard Mario game

The main game isn't hard at all...but the challenge comes from completing the game. Getting all green stars, the stamps and all that.
Some of the last levels do get a little hard though, I just got to the last world.

Has anyone played the single player campaign mainly with the pro controller? I am curious as to what percentage of the game can be played with the pro controller in single player. I know some of the stages require the gamepad.

The game is only being released on Friday in my region, so please, no spoilers.

@GTWarrior77 I use nothing but the Pro Controller for this and it works like a charm! You just can't use it with the Captain Toad missions and I think those Bowser statue missions.

Well I didn't play through the game with the pro controller, but there are only three levels in the game that require the gamepad, so you wont be switching back and forth very often at all. And the Captain Toad levels require it which is every other world.

Overall I'd say this could be the best 3D Mario yet. I still want to let it sink in, but right now it is about tied, maybe a little under Sunshine and 64 actually. It has so much creativity, it never got boring, Multiplayer is the funnest thing in a video game in a long time, and I love the controls, they are really tight/ great for speed running (which is really fun too btw). It's a fantastic game, that, for me, fixed everything that Galaxy 1 & 2 did wrong. Which isn't that much. It gave a little bit of a challenge at the end, the last level took me and my bro ( who are pros ) two and a half hours, but that's only because we used Luigi and Mario, and cared about getting a good time Anyway everyone should get this game, beating the last levels with Toad today. (you get a stamp for beating every level with each character)

Thanks for your response @BandG and @PadWarrior.

Constantly switching back and forth between controllers was my main concern. Thanks for clarifying. Friday can not come soon enough.

...Ugh, my speakers were up...you can get rid of the spoiler sound effect now NL. lol

I'll be honest, I can't say I care much for Plessie. To me his levels are gimmicks and nothing more.

The Plessie levels look boring. I was under the impression he was only in one level.

I just finished it earlier. Fantastic game.

I actually liked the plessie levels, I wish they would have made a whole extra world based on his gameplay!

The plessie levels are pretty funny if you are playing with at last 2 players.

I love the Plessie levels! He also likes to be pet with the Gamepad. Poking annoys him, though.

This!! My friend and I had so much fun. LOL. Since we always wanted to go different directions. Haha.

The day is finally here!

oh yeahhhhh, i wasnt planning on getting it today due to limited funds due to crimbo, but what do you know i caved in and grabbed some trade ins.

World 1 complete, so frigging awesome and fun so far.
