Video: Watch Our Friends At Eurogamer Argue Over Super Mario 3D World Power-Ups

That piranha plant...cannibalism at its best. Hm...those soldier like enemies seem to panic when you break their formation.

Do any of the stages actually require in-depth swimming? Like diving and exploring underwater tunnels for example.

the best to me

They play it so slowly. (Next to nothing that can actually kill you). It looks like Kirby levels of difficulty but with less surprises as you can always see what is coming.

Cannot see anywhere where you could take more risk to keep it interesting. (Think the parts where you can spend ages waiting or skip by taking more risk usually missing out a panel or going diagonal on those parts that swap whenever you jump).

I kinda have to agree, this levels shown seems too easy to beat... but of course this are just the first levels so it's obvious they have to be easy and since we haven't seen the worlds beyond those levels I'm sure they would be hard as hell, especially if we want to find all the secrets and stamps (even Super Mario Galaxy has a some crazy easy levels that you can beat in less than 2 minutes) I can't believe we're only a few weeks ahead of this game, I can't freakin' wait!

This game makes NSMBU look like an SD Wii game. If this doesn't sell Wii Us nothing will. They need to get a level 1-1 demo up in the kiosks ASAP. Or at least just play the trailer constantly. I think the Target kiosk hasn't been updated in months. I was glad when the Alien game trailer went away, after the game got cancelled.

I know MK8 and SSB will sell consoles to the fanbois and hardcore but I'm talking about selling to a mass market general audience- i.e .lots of consoles.

HYPED! Can't wait!

Wathced the third video. That's my last one now. It's clearly looking like a very good Mario game. Day One.

This game looks ridiculously slow and easy. It's such a shame.

I'm smelling a 10/10.

As others have said, hopefully it gets more difficult along the way. I remember reading a quote a few days ago from someone high up at Nintendo saying something along the lines of this game being 'easier' or 'more accessible' than previous Mario titles.

@unrandomsam First levels are easy in a platform? You don't say.

@unrandomsam Early levels to learn controls

Watching one of these videos, it dawned on me why you have a lives pool now. So you have a little restrain in killing your friends, as that will affect you as well.

So there you go, hard game lovers. If you want this game to be very hard, play with a douche or two.

@FutureAlphaMale Don't they say that with every game they release? Soon enough difficulty won't exist and beating things will become pointless.

@FutureAlphaMale you missed the other part of that quote... The beginning is easy, and like most Mario games get progressively difficult, especially to 100% it

Can you imagine if there came a point that we would have so many powerups that you can combine & mix em up? Like imagine if you needed the two in order to overcome more obstacles, like if you needed the cat suit to climb over something but then quickly needed to glide with the tanooki suit

@Araknie Donkey Country Returns never bothered with that. It was reasonable from start to finish but getting progressively harder. Wasting half of the game on learning the controls is exactly that wasting half the game.

Nights into Dreams
Megaman 2
Super Ghouls and Ghosts

None of them ever wasted loads of the game. Even Classic Sonic didn't other than Sonic 2.

I would've preferred it if Mario and Zelda would've been released in different months. Both of them are released on the same day in the states!!
At least we have a week to dip in to Zelda before Mario is released in Europe!

@unrandomsam You are still assuming. And forgetting.
In every Mario game, to date, al new controls and power-ups, were exploited in the first two worlds in not the first one.
That's not half the game.
Especially if this has the SWorlds of 3D Land.

You are not willing to remember and consider reality and legacy before shouting out your opinion and that's bad.
