When Super Guide Luigi shows up the player still controls Mario, right? Since you still have some control over the environments of the level the player can make things difficult for Luigi. That's probably what happened here.

The real question is, when Super Guide dies, does it cost that player another life?
and
Should you be mad if Super Guide wasted your last life and didn't get you past the part it was supposed to?

If the 'harder than/as hard as contra" thing is true.. well i will be well justified in peeing my pants just now.

It's MTV gaming, so we have to weigh how trustworthy they are first.

I don't recognize the reviewer, so I don't know.
But if it's gonna actually be a challenge, unlike NSMB DS I'm all in.

Mop it up · « **Reply #355 on:** October 08, 2009, 08:17:54 PM »

Yeah, no way this game will be as difficult as Contra, that's an exaggeration. And I'm actually hoping that it isn't too difficult because I want to be able to play the co-op with my sister but she does not like difficult games.

aww thats what i get for not clicking links

Still.. whens the last time theres been any preview/review/article/blog/passing comment about a Mario game being DIFFICULT? That alone has to be a good sign, right?

Deguello · « **Reply #357 on:** October 08, 2009, 08:41:31 PM »

A lot of reviewers thought Mario Sunshine was difficult. Several thought Mario Galaxy was too.

Peachylala · « **Reply #358 on:** October 08, 2009, 09:31:53 PM »

Some of Galaxy was a cake-walk, SOME. It was mildly difficult in some parts. It was still fun, however.

EasyCure · « **Reply #359 on:** October 10, 2009, 01:10:40 AM »

Really?? Where the hell was I...

I thought both were pretty easy but not in a way that kept them from being fun titles.

Peachylala · « **Reply #360 on:** October 11, 2009, 08:36:53 PM »

I thought 20% of Galaxy's stages were a bit on the easy side. That doesn't amount much since the game does a lot of things well.

I'm surprised noboby here is talking about the amazing new scans from Famitsu.

This is the internet. I thought we've moved past the utility of print mags by now.

I like seeing different colored Yoshis, that's always good. I wonder if they've brough back alternative abilities for them?
Also, Bowser Jr. with Bowser's old flying machine, which is awesome

Still, I'd like to see some different playable characters aside from two toads. Really, just one or two unlockables, like Peach, Wario, or normal Toad, would be a great idea.

Mop it up · « **Reply #364 on:** October 14, 2009, 11:33:31 PM »

I think Peach should become playable after you beat the game, it would make a lot of sense.

Ignoring the potential nod to Super Mario Brothers 2 USA by including (real) Toad and Peach is a travesty and lost potential. I am hoping that secret playable characters make up for this in part.

Mop it up · « **Reply #366 on:** October 15, 2009, 03:47:34 AM »

There's no such thing as "real" Toad.

Stratos · « **Reply #367 on:** October 15, 2009, 03:49:34 AM »

Yes there is...

It is the Toad who stars in the cartoons and is playable in SMB2 and in all of the Mario sports games.

These guys in NSMBW are impostors.

Mop it up · « **Reply #368 on:** October 15, 2009, 03:53:05 AM »

How can you be so sure that it's always the same one?
They're all called Toad and have the same personality. There is no "real" Toad anymore than there is a "generic" Toad, they are all one and the same. The same goes for Yoshi, Birdo, and a few other Mario characters.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #369 on:** October 15, 2009, 03:57:04 AM »

Yeah, there's a specific Mario friend Toad, Yoshi, and also a real Birdo, too. They're also generic ones. The real Yoshi, for instance, can speak words, or at least something Mario (and maybe Luigi) can understand. The rest can't. The real Toad has a different outfit than most normal ones do, as well. The real Birdo has a nice diamond ring, and likely is the only one with spotted eggs, or something like that.

Stratos · « **Reply #370 on:** October 15, 2009, 04:00:14 AM »

I'm surprised that you say that about Birdo. Birdo and Yoshi are their own individual characters. There are others of their species, but only one 'primary' character. Is Mario pals with every Yoshi or just one? The one and only Yoshi is Mario's pal, not generic yoshis. And I doubt that every single member of Birdo's race is a cross-dressing, sexual identity-crisis filled creature. Others of his race are probably quite secure with their sex.

Mop it up · « **Reply #371 on:** October 15, 2009, 04:13:01 AM »

You Americans all want to think that Toad, Yoshi, and Birdo are unique individuals, but they actually are not.

The Japanese have a concept that a person or creature can simultaneously be an individual as well as every member of his or her group. That's what you see with these characters. Every Toad that you see has a mushroom head, wears a vest, and has the same personality. Every Yoshi that you see, they're all named Yoshi, they all spout gibberish, and they all have the same personality. Every Birdo that you see is named Birdo, wears a bow, ring, and makeup, and has the same personality.

The Japanese makes no distinction that any Toad, Yoshi, or Birdo is a unique individual from the rest. They are all one and the same.

Stratos · « **Reply #372 on:** October 15, 2009, 04:17:54 AM »

The cartoon states otherwise

Mop it up · « **Reply #373 on:** October 15, 2009, 04:19:30 AM »

The cartoons were made by "everyone's special" Americans.

Except games like Super Mario RPG and Super Mario 64 show otherwise for at least Yoshi. Toad is up for discussion, as well as Birdo, but there have been several times that there's only one Yoshi, and often, he is different than all the other ones.
