Official "Mario Maker"!

[DethBen]

Course seems to be the Nintendo way, and level seems to be the general community way. Anyways, Zi wonder how the amiibo function will work with characters who already have 8-bit sprites, like Megaman and Samus (I have both of them). Will it use their already existing one, or will they make a custom one?

I'm pretty sure that's going to be the case since Link's 8-bit sprite in this game is ripped from his first game on the NES.

[DethBen]

So it looks like you can have more then 8 worlds it seems.

Also looks like there aren't any invisible level completed triggers in line with the goal posts in SMW meaning you have to touch the goal bar.

Yeah, that happened in the Ninintendo World Championship final. While the stream never actually showed Mario Walking past the pole, both times with each finalist, the reaction on one of the competitor's face was "Wait, huh?", when I assume he ran past the pole.

RIP in peace SMW Custom Bowser

If anything, those Castle Drums for Yoshi are amazing

So I actually played the game a bit. Here's a few thoughts:

-I've never even looked at SMBX or Lunar Magic, but the editor seemed really smooth, intuitive and effective. It feels that, within its realm of possibilities, it's easy to be creative. A nice feature is the "trace" of your last playthrough, which lets you position platforms according to jump length and the like. Not sure if there will be restrictions on size, heights of levels/individual rooms. It's definitely possible to make long levels with many rooms though. But probably nothing with the scope of SMBX.

-Good physics. I felt in full control as soon as I started playing. Nintendo quality.

-However... some of the physics are not what we're used to. I played this SMW underwater level, and tons of things were different. Yoshi floats up slightly whenever something is in his mouth. You bounce really high (underwater, not sure when you're out) even without holding B. Kicked Koopa shells fly at an angle. You need to hit the tape to finish the level WHAT THE ACTUAL. Also, you can't walk through Yoshi, you just end up pushing him. What's up with that?

-In every game, if you get hit with a 2nd tier powerup, you get reverted to Super Mario. I actually can't remember whether SMW still has the item box, but that would make it kind of really strong.

-I don't think I've ever seen a midpoint...


Blah. All this makes me wish we could just integrate whatever good features this game has into SMBX.

JAPAN EXPO

But yeah from what I've seen at the championship and videos it doesn't actually seem to be copy/pasted engines of the respective games, and instead focused on giving the players the most tools to be creative (the yoshi pushing is a prime example)

[tangy]

Oh my god, that would be both sad and hilarious if that is the case.

So far I've noticed 3 things including this, maybe more I forgot

1. Skyward Sword: You can take lit bombflowers off the ground and store them
   SMBX: You can take lit bombs off the ground and store them for later
2. Mario 3D World: Double Cherry
   SMBX: "supermario4-128" cheat
3. Mario Maker: ASMless level editor
   SMBX:ASMless level editor

Mario 3d World:
That pirahna plant powerup in that shadowy level: Toothy
That bullet powerup in that train level: Billy Gun

I want all of this

[Xenesis]

It's so pretty.

:-o

[momo]

What would really impress me is if they made a 3d mario maker

[DethBen]

Just going to leave this here...

Super Mario Mario two hour long demonstration by IGN:

[Oh Man]

It's been available for preorder through Gamestop and (recently) the WiiU eShop, anyone actually buying it? I'll be conveniently near a Gamestop on the release date so I've got it preordered. Bit annoyed by the timed-content thing they've put in, though.

[Restarr]

The timed stuff can be bypassed with Time Travelling: Setting the Wii U's clock forward a day. You still have to make a level for five minutes each of those "days" though. I just wish levels had checkpoints and slopes but this entire thing is looking more and more amazing each time they show it.

[Ivy]

i pre ordered it

[Tenlade]

already pre-ordered it, and jsut waiting to be unlocked.

[Ivy]

i got the physical copy because the booklet and poster interest me, as well as the fun tangible value of discs

[Argumentable]

I would preorder it if I got something out of it. Otherwise there's no reason for me to cause I can just go in the store the same day and get it easily

I am 100% getting it though

[ancara22]

Well, there's more important news than anything else right now to take of note for SMM:



Waluigi confirmed as Mystery Mushroom skin, and thus for being playable in levels.

[blue_kirby]

WALUIGI! :D

[Gregor]

I find it hilarious how they added Ashley and Waluigi and fricking Mario in a kart but no sign of Daisy anywhere

[Ivy]

at last, Waluigi takes his rightful place as being more relevant than Daisy

[Friendly Dictator]

waluigi is finally playable in a mario platformer i'm so happy for him
