cognitivedissonance +5 for understanding that Super Mario Brothers 3 was the highlight of the series, -2 for ripping off the plot to Mario and Luigi 2.
Aubrey McFate Because Mario games usually have such inventive plots.
Seriously, the game looks great. I'm just not a fan of a 5 minute cutscene in a Mario game.
Xenocide You actually care about the plots in a Mario game? Why?
These games are pure gameplay. Super Mario plots are a total afterthought to Miyamoto. That's why Mario has no backstory, hardly anyone ever speaks more than a random exclaimation, and the objective is always the same.
Harveyjames I like how the story is exactly the same each time. I'm almost disappointed when they get all self-referential in games like Paper Mario 2, with Bowser talking about his 'annual princess kidnap'. I want them to tell the same story every time as if it's the first time they've ever told it.
Xiphias "-2 for ripping off the plot to Mario and Luigi 2" is the gayest shit you have ever said
Pandatronic And he's not even right. M&L2 was about traveling through time with baby versions of yourself from the past.
Pandatronic 5 stars for the epic orchestral rendition of the song from the airships in SMB3.
Caminante Nocturno Don't rush through the game like that, jerk! Talk to everyone! I hate it when people do that.
gotterdamm I billion stars for Mario not even TRYING to hide the "I'm going to get laid dance."
coprolalia That's a "cake" dance, dude.
Mario is a eunuch.
Xenocide Hell, yeah. A good old fashion Princess kidnapping right at the start. None of this "OH NO I'VE BEEN FRAMED FOR GRAFITTI" foolishness.
+1000 stars for bringing back the airships from Mario 3.
FABIO2 When did Mario become a Final Fantasy cutscene?
athodyd Why is it that in every promotional gameplay clip I've seen it looks like the person playing has very little idea how to actually control Mario?
petep because the wii controller kind of sucks in that way.
