      True, but it is still a possibility or problem that could happen such as the game grumps clip that was shown. Even if it is uncommon it still is a problem with the layout.
      And yes, Dans thumbs is the one percent that have ever pressed the button while moving to the left.

      @John10v10 Looking at it, I'm almost certain it's Arial. It has a bit of curve to the corners (which is probably down to the outline and resolution) but it matches up exactly. The only other slight differences might be the letters being sometimes spaced a bit further apart.

    It’s actually not luck.
    Each mushroom house has its own selection of patterns, one of which will be randomly chosen when it’s loaded.
    So basically, you can just look up the patterns for the mushroom house you’re in and use the process of elimination by hitting the tiles until you figure out which pattern you got.
    Thank u for listening to my Ted talk.
    EDIT: wow thanks for the likes, but also I would just like to add that once when I was like 7 or 8, I got all the items in one of the houses without knowing all of that stuff

    • @bandicootsmwcentral2950
      @bandicootsmwcentral2950 Před 4 lety +43

      I mean for ds and wii they at least introduced something new.
      Ds was basically the revival of the 2d Mario games and introduced lots of new mechanics like the walljump,3d acrobatic jumps in a 2d space and the star coins.
      Wii added and pretty much defined a style of multiplayer in 2d platformers, some games later even copied its style of multiplayer (Rayman origins and Legends come to mind).
      But then comes 2 nsmb games almost at the same time and added basically nothing to the formula.
      Nsmb2 is easilly the must generic and boring Mario game I ever played, its just nsmbds again with the wii graphics and music with just a few "bahs" added to it, and lots of coins which grants thousand of lives with no effort, and the level design is way too damn easy, even kirby games get more dificult than this.
      And they surprisingly managed to screw up the multiplayer, you see to play in coop you need two 3dses, but the game camera only follow one of the players and the other player must try to keep up if they want to be on screen.
      why the hell each player dont have its own screen? It baffles me.
      Also the game received dlc but for the coin rush mode, the problem is: the coin rush sucks.
      And then comes nsmbu, this one is just wii but it takes place in a diferent region, which makes we think they would try new level themes but no, the same as always.
      They finally added new songs, but only for grassland and atlethic stages, why?
      And the squirrel suit is way too underwelming compared to previously air based powerups.
      And literally nothing is new, except perhaps the challenge mode which is surprisinly fun and the baby yoshies, thats about it.
      New super luigi U was a great dlc and a nice twist on the formula by being a speedrun based game.

      You know what the game title also contains? the words "Super Mario Bros" witch is a game about getting to the end of a level, Nintendo named it "Super Mario Bros" because it's the 2D platformer Super Mario Bros, The reason other Mario games like Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Sunshine don't have the word "Bros" in there is because it's not the 2D platformer we all know and love, it's something that isn't that. And the word "New" is in all the new Super Mario Bros games because it signifies that it's new but still stands true to the "Super Mario Bros" staple from the first game.

    You don't lose a life if everyone goes into a bubble. You can see this in the video clip used. I've used this before in my playthrough to exit to the map without losing a life.
    I also didn't find that hitting the A button accidentally was a problem, but that's probably because I keep my thumb in the center of the D-pad and tilt to move, like a joystick.

    Played this game as a kid, so have a lot of nostalgia with it, and to this day I still didn't realise how much was reused. Completely agree with you, but I think the game has a lot more pros than cons, the best nsmb in my opinion, it was at a point where it improved on almost everything in the ds version, and wasn't as drained or uninspired (The coin gimmick in nsmb2) as the rest of the games. The motion controls also work really well in this game in my opinion, only to be thirded by the two galaxy games.

    • @bluefalcon3629
      @bluefalcon3629 Před 4 lety +5

      I respect your opinion, but I feel differently, maybe its because I have a lot of nostalgia for the game, but it did so much right for its time. It was the first 2d Mario on a home console in almost if not a decade, a stunning achievement, granted the all new multiplayer feature was a bit on the annoying side, but when was it not going to be? The wii version did so much to set itself apart from the ds version, doing its best under 'the same graphics'. All the ds had was a cool battle mode (which they barely if at all advertised), a return to 2d, some small original bosses, and a big boi mushroom. Sure the wii had a lacking battle mode, but it was a return to 2d on consoles, the koopalings were cool for the time, as we hadn't seen them for years upon years, but they only get the backlash they do today because they were reused so much. The graphics were amazing for the time, I mean you cant go through a video on nsmbu without comparing the 'hd' graphics to the wii's. The ds version was the formula, the wii version perfected the formula, much like the nes and snes consoles. The 3ds version is the virual boy that gives everyone a headache. And the wii u one was like the console it was on, underwhelming

    You don't lose a life when you fail a level by going into a bubble, that's still dumb game design though because you can abuse it and not die from falling in pits by going into a bubble before you die. Loved the video, can't wait for the rest of the series!

The game itself feels a lot like Wii, and even has the multiplayer, which I prefer more in 2 than Wii. The coin rush dlc is fantastic, and has so much NEW in it, as well as fan service. Overall, a very solid time.

  • @Jann75
    @Jann75 Před 4 lety +9

    2:37 NSMBW was actually my first Mario game and was my introduction to Mario and pretty much video games in general, I used to play it with my friend, I lost the Wii at some point and I spent a period of time learning about pretty much everything about the game. Strategies like ground pounds being useful to cancel ice physics. Trivia like the Prima guide mixing up Larry and Iggy's names. Easter eggs, oh god, easter eggs--to this day, if you tell me something I didn't know about NSMBW, being level design or whatever, I will probably light up. Regardless, I've went to the mariowiki got knowledge of pretty much the whole series and (but not the Donkey Kong series for some reason even to this day).
    I memorized the names of the enemies and liked how this game re-introduced, redisigned, and/or repurposed some stuff that been dead since 3, like Spiny Cheep Cheeps, Parabeetles, Deep Cheeps, Hammer Bros. courses as enemy courses Eep Cheeps; Eep Cheeps originally being an unused skin. Similarly to how NSMBU reintruduced a lot of stuff from World like Bony Beetle and Sumo Bros (even having a boss Sumo Bro!). In fact, one thing I'll say SMB3 had was a TON of secrets and a lot of enemies that never appeared again. With a chance to maybe some original bosses, maybe at least one new world, maybe some returning long forgotten enemies, or least some interesting new ones or seeing what the Koopalings are going try in their boss fights this time if your going to stick with them; I couldn't wait for a (New) New Super Bros. game now that I thought I was all caught up.
    And I waited.
    Eventually, a New Super Mario Bros. Deluxe was announced and I perked up. We all know how that ended.
    Nowadays, I know how people feel about these games. It's more than clear at this point that New Super Mario Bros. games are most likely dead in the water, but this also probably takes out the 2D Mario platformer genre entirely. This is a series with over 200 games and only like 12 of them are 2D platformers. So with the NSMB series dead, it's hard to know for sure when we'll ever see a new (no, Super Mario Run does not count).
    Though, I really just don't agree that these games are "easy". I remember even to this day having problems with some of the stages. Playing Ludwig's Castle even now when I'm good at it, regardless of power-up or how long I kept it, it constantly gave me the feeling that I could screw up at any moment and subsequently die even when not going for Star Coins (where dying resets your non-checkpointed progress), and there's just some points where it's easy to just screw up and get hit, IDK maybe that's just me.
    Back in 201(8/9), I got NSMBW again got the same friend with and beat the game and then got all the Star Coins, I still look back on that memory. Though NSMB is dead, it can still make memories even in 2069 (lol). They reused what we already had enemies, themes, gimmicks, objects and did different things with them, the doing DIFFERENT things with them in a way it doesn't feel rehashed they should've leaned into more. Sorry for the nostalgia wave.
    8:12 I mean, there was that ONE level...
    10:27 The first underwater level of the water world "introduces" Bloopers to the player, the theme of the stage being that it's absolutely filled to the brim with them with them (someone counted 24 including the 2 Blooper Nannies) Bloopers being the theme of the stage, they also demonstrate their ability to hide behind objects, something this game introduced for them. On top of that Spiny Cheep Cheeps only appeared on their own in earlier stages, but at some point in this stage now your dealing with them and Bloopers at the same time, giving an unarmed player no choice but to try to swim as fast you can past them. And also having the first of 2 Cheep Chomp in the entire game. Not the most interesting stage in execution, but I wouldn't call it bland.
    11:59 I mean TECHNICALLY Yoshi's in 6 levels, 1-3, 2-5, 3-2, 4-5, 6-4 and 7-6. The worlds kinda make sense because Yoshi probably wouldn't want to go in the dark world, and the dino not being in the jungle world specifically makes sense because...uh...
    18:35 It's made even worst when you realized they KINDA tried to offset the two with the Ice Flower by making the Ice Flower's effects last longer, I think. It's been awhile.

    i feel that the series got old and repetitive with the sequel to the ds game because half of the graphics and all of the music was reused

    Holy moly Ludwig is my absolute favorite Koopaling and it made me so happy when you said his fight was awesome!

    For me, it's an awesome game because of multiplayer but also the introduction of fake walls and of controls with spin jumps, flutter jumps and ESPECIALLY the mid-air spins and the propeller suit. I LOVE the controls!

    The only reused music was the overworld theme
