Topic: Super Mario 3D World - OT

I beat the final bowser, and I have to say amazing game. (Did you guys notice the comet observitory in the background of the, THE END screen)

Not sure if this has been asked.
Does finding all the hidden 8 bit luigis hidden in the game unlock anything?

Nah, it's just a 'for fun' thing.
Like New Super Luigi U, it can be a self-challenge of how many 8-Bit Luigis you can find while playing.

That last level, and by last I mean really last, is insane isn't it? I got to finish it with someone else, but by myself it felt impossible. Then again, maybe I shouldn't have played it with Toad

After you beet bowser they throw a ton of mario glaxy references at you all at once. I love it.

That level is designed to test every skill you need for this game. Timing, patience, control, speed, quick judgement, rhythm, precision, forward thinking, and a bit of memorization/muscle memory go a long way. Toad would make certain parts easy and others hard. Namely, anything where speed is an asset is Toad's strong suit. I did this level with Rosalina, but I'm gonna get my friends to come help me with the other four characters.

Guess we know where all that live music came from.

I beat the level with all five characters, and I actually think it was EASIEST with Toad. Mario was the second easiest, Luigi third, Peach fourth, and Rosalina fifth.

Now the thing is, I was used to Toad's speed, which is why I found it very hard to beat with Peach and Rosalina, who are balls slow. However, both can hover, which made me approach some parts differently when I relied on sheer speed previously...so I guess that can be easier in a way. It just depends on what you're comfortable with, really. But after beating it five times, it doesn't seem nearly as hard as it did initially

I can imagine. I guess I'm too used at Luigi's timing, I didn't try more than a couple of times with Toad, and I haven't played since. I have to say it's not that motivating to complete everything with everyone for just 3 or more stamps...

Someone uploaded the whole soundtrack on YouTube now, clear with no SFX. In case you wanted to listen to the fantastic music without sound effects.

My Super Mario 3D World review: It's not as perfection as Super Mario Galaxy 1/2 but it is better than Super Mario 3D Land.

So, there is a Spin Jump huh? Found that out trying to get the Stamp on 6-1.

I found an SNES remix of Double Cherry Pass. It's very nice and sounds like music that would actually play in Super Mario World.

I just got this game last week, and I had the coolest thing happen yesterday. I beat World 3, but I saw on the list of levels that there was a 3-B that I had not found yet and I wanted to find it before moving on to World 4 (and yes, I found out later that I was stupid). So while looking around for it, I found the hidden pipe that takes you up to the little ledge, and I assumed that would be where 3-B was. Well, I didn't find a new level, but I did find Shigeru Miyamoto! He was just hanging out up there, and when I walked up he said "Where is Luigi?" I assumed this was a part of the game and if I came back as Luigi I would find level 3-B, so I went into the nearest level, switched to Luigi, and left the level. When I came back, there was a different Mii there and nothing special to do. So maybe this was a normal thing, but I am assuming that I just randomly ran into Miyamoto's Mii, which I think is pretty cool.

Shhh. Don't ruin my fun.

I have a problem where my gamepad loses connection with the wii u. But it only happens whilst playing 3D world. Anyone else had it happen?

Finally got around to picking this one up. Yeah I know I am late to the party lol. Unfortunately since I will be moving here in a week my Wii U is packed away for now.

I FINALLY picked this up today. I rarely pay $60 for games, but I did today, and I can confirm that this game is worth every dime.
I haven't been able to put it down since I got home this afternoon. I love playing as Peach.

I find it strange when people say Rosalina (& maybe Peach) are just slow, at least to me. The last level was so easy with Rosalina, that I actually love to speedrun that level because she makes it enjoyable. Rosalina maybe a slow runner, but in multiplayer, whenever someone runs ahead with Toad, at full speed, I can easily catch up with them, and even surpass them.
The trick with Rosalina is to Spin Attack after a long jump. It keeps her fastest speed at full momentum. Plus, she can reach high places without the Cat Suit.

Examples:

She's kind of a glitchy character. I just love her animation glitches <3 Head facing the wrong way.

Her hitbox is damn huge. Even when little, Spin Attacks hit blocks when standing under them. Hurts enemies under her.

Fastest time on Champion's Road - Rosalina: 267

And the best thing about her? Maybe that she can easily hit two of the slots at the same time and have a better chance of getting 777? (no item needed).

I'd say Mario might be the worst character in the game, even though he's balanced. Phew that's a lot.
