Super Mario Doomsday - Turning Off The Matrix

[Miyoron]

I might be crazy, but I keep feeling like the underground theme remix is about to transition into All Star. Like every single time. I don't know how much I like the music changes, like the end level fanfare, but it seems interesting so far!

[AlchemistHohenheim]

If I'm remembering correctly, the Mini Mario power-up in the NSMB games allowed you to enter special tiny pipes, and also allowed Mario to run on water for some reason.

I have no idea if this information will be of use for this game.

[Kilgamayan]

I feel personally attacked that this game uses that death voice clip but not "Just what I needed!" upon getting a powerup.

[Voltgloss]

I couldn't tell whether the jumping difficulties raocow had with Mini Mario were just more wrestling with the game's atypical physics, or whether Mini Mario suffers from hitbox dissonance. Or both.

[The Doctor]

Mini Mario seemed to have the same hitbox as normal Mario. You could see raocow bump into pipes with a whole bunch of extra pixels in front of him.

[AuraLancer]

That should be a really easy fix. However, Mario's collisions probably flip out if he gets a powerup next to a wall and returns to full size. That's a little harder to fix. I suspect that to be the reasoning behind mini Mario keeping the same hitbox.

Personally I vote for a compromise between the two. The game should play "Just what I needed!" upon dying.

[Kilgamayan]

Seen! That is a much better idea.

[Cosmo Fishhawk]

Cat planet owl control! ... Yellow hurts.

Oh man.

Control ALL of the owls!

It should play a sample from the song "Just What I Needed."

[Cosmo Fishhawk]

When I was a kid playing Mario 3, my friends and I used to call getting three separate pieces in the match game "getting AIDS" and then laugh our heads off.


We were terrible human beings lol.

[Grounder]

block fields huh

oof not a great level

I think GBA SMB3 didn't go far enough. We need "Just what I needed" on constant loop.

[Le Neveu de Rameau]

Bit of an updraught on Mario's cape there.

[Ditocoaf]

Today, we finally found a path between levels that didn't contain a cutscene, so things are starting to look up.

[Sebby19]

There was another invisible block at the end of that upper path (after the two arrows pointing at eachother).

raocow, you're in World 2, not 1!

I don't think Mini Mario running up walls is actually in this game. That function was exclusive to NSMB.U. The next game, NSMB 2, just had the other abilities (fit in tight spaces/pipes, floaty jumps, run on water, can't kill without groundpound)

NSMBU was after NSMB2

Counterpoint we've added the presidence that there are invisible blocks where you need to look for a tiny ! To appear to find.

"tiny"

[Voltgloss]

Counterpoint we've added the presidence that there are invisible blocks where you need to look for a tiny ! To appear to find.

At least the game introduced this mechanic in an area (i) that the player couldn't miss as it was on the main path, (ii) where finding the invisible block was required to advance, (iii) where the player was in no danger, and (iv) where an NPC gave a hint that there was some hidden way to proceed. As far as games teaching the player "hey hidden blocks exist here's how they work," I think this is actually pretty well done.

[Leet]

this is how we learn that raocow will not register a world as being complete if there is no sign with a number 2 painted on it on the map

[Dragon Fogel]

Nobody else seems to have mentioned it, but there was an indicator for a hidden block on the upper path, just to the right of where you dropped onto the Chargin' Chuck.

Probably it was just a 1-Up or something. Still, maybe keep an eye out for that when you're in a weirdly empty area that takes some work to get to.

?

[Dragon Fogel]

I didn't read closely enough to catch that.

[BuzzNBen]

I should probably mention this before I forget. I highly recommend going back to Toad Town before you complete World 2 (it'll say in the Statistics Menu what world you are in) and talk to Dr. Toadley again. Remember, he'll say something new after every world you complete.

And maybe while you are there, talk to the yellow toad after that bridge that you missed in Episode 1 and enter the castle you also missed in Episode 1.
