Nick Parker 3,040 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Came here to report that Super Mario 35 is insane like a drunk armadillo. You know you're in trouble when you're trying to get the invincibility star in 1-2 but are blocked by a Bowser and a piranha plant. Without a tutorial, you slowly grasp the mechanics as you try to barrel through the classic levels, which are mainly designed to keep you alive and to make your opponents knocked out. The ways that you can route the enemies you send to your 34 opponents can be delightfully devious, and as the number of players tick down further and further, it gets all the more intense...and if you get to be one of the last plumbers standing, the chaos gets hilariously overwhelming. There were several times, as I looked out into the expanse before me, filled with enemy-spawned Goombas, piranha plants, and Bowsers, that I thought, "For I beheld Satan, as he fell down from Heaven like lightning!" There's a simple levelling up system, but I don't know what if affects besides unlocking different avatars. I didn't play for too long, so I'm excited to see how it plays out when you start adding enemies from the later levels in the mix, like Hammer Bros. or Bullet Bills. In short, this is incredibly fun, and the price is hard to beat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Anyone else give Super Mario 35 a spin? I hope that Nintendo updates it in its alleged short life span--though frankly I'm skeptical on these limited time claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,373 Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 I still haven't played a single video game of any kind of weeks now (other than the daily fire emblem on my phone) I can't wait to find time to get back into things. I guess that's what the winter is for.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I'm up to 117 stars in Super Mario 64. I'm not gonna shoot for 120 but I will get the 8 red coins in the final Bowser level on my way to the boss. At the same time I've been playing Galaxy on the pro-controller while my daughter has the right joycon. The "co-star mode" where she can collect all the star bits and shoot them at enemies. She loves playing like this where she feels like she's participating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
