Now that's going to bother me forever. Thanks a heap.

Actually I was kind of disappointed we never seen the UFO again, I was quite certain it would come into play again but it didn't

Exactly. It makes me wonder if there is not some super secret stage that nobody has found, but there probably was just some blurb of text, maybe a sign, that explained everything and nobody picked up on it..

There are 2 things that bug me about this game, one is the camera but I usually shrug it off because it isn't that much of a problem for me, the second is that you die immediately once you go into the quicksand but if I touch lava I still have a chance to save myself from doom...or is there some way to pull off from the quicksand and I'm just being an idiot?

I think the waggle attack can let you get out of the sand. I could never do it but it lifts you up so I guess is "theoretically" possible.

Even with waggling, I never escaped the quicksand, either.

Camera is just fine for me - the disorientation is part of the effect, and adjusting to it is part of the fun. The quicksand, though, bothers me too - one wrong move and you're dead.

Speaking of uncomfortable deaths, The first time I saw Mario die in the game, it was caused by one of those energy beams. I was pretty shocked to see Mario turn into a skeleton, as if it had vaporized the flesh right off his bones. I'm not saying that it shouldn't have happened, just that I was not expecting to see that in a Mario game.

Ceric · « **Reply #931 on:** November 29, 2007, 04:50:22 AM »

Same.

I'm pretty sure Rosaline is the girl in the storybooks. I also think she is the original Mother of the first Luma because of time travel and the ship look like a toad ship. It makes perfect sense in a weird way. I really doubt that Rosaline is Peach's mother. Relative maybe. She did have siblings if memory serves.

Overall I think there are a lot of things that when you think about it aren't extranouse. Sort of like how some things made it in to Metroid Prime 3 from a different story line that they didn't implement. UFO being a big one for Galaxy.

I just noticed that for the first time today! I was shocked!

IT ARRIVED! IT ARRIVED! I got the game ABSOLUTELY FREE.

Yeah, that brought me back to my "Ghouls n' Ghosts" days.

It doesn't bother me now, but if I was a kid, that would have seriously messed with me.

At first I thought it was a graphical bug since you see his skeleton when he is electrocuted, just like in cartoons. But I looked closer and I was right, Mario did turn into a skeleton as he died!

It actually reminded me of Dirk the Daring and "Dragon's Lair" as he had similar deaths.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #936 on:** November 29, 2007, 08:48:03 AM »

So any electric shock will do this? I must see, because I have never died from it.

It depends on what you're asking. Any electric shock will cause the cartoony visible skeleton effect, but I was originally talking about death by laser beam.

Edit: spoiler-protected just in case.

Well, Mario's underwater death in 64 was pretty graphic. Nintendo doesn't seem to mind isolated instances of brutal violence (see wolf Link's Poe soul ripping)

Well except that Zelda: TP was rated teen.

That was green (or red) fluid from a recent sickness he had.

What about Bowser's "death scene" in New SMB when you beat him the first time and Crocomire's death in Super Metroid; there is just something about slowly being melted away by lava that kind of irks me.

So I was able to buy this game by WHORING MYSELF OUT! WHOOOOOO!

Nintendo advocates sex for money!

I don't know about you guys, but I can't help but giggle from time to time. A perfect example is at the end of the cookie cutter stage. In the background, there is another toad just chillen on a lonely mushroom. I hit his head from a far with a starbit and as a consequence, he let out a humorous "BWAAHH!"

He just kinda choked and slouched over. That's nowhere near as bad as implying that the flesh has been burned from his bones.

I honestly think it's a glitch, though.

Yeah, PETG was all up in arms about that.

Seriously, though, they were ghosts. It's one thing to have the protagonist die a grisly, graphic death, but plucking glowing balls out of a ghost isn't going to traumatize anyone.

I like it when the toads say "Oh no". It sounds so hilarious I don't know why.

im enjoying mario, but theres something about jumping in 3d that makes it hard, and underwater levels suck.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #947 on:** December 01, 2007, 05:47:40 AM »

Oh yes, the underwater controls are annoying. Jumping in 3d is obviously hard because you don't know what's where.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #948 on:** December 01, 2007, 05:52:19 AM »

However, underwater with a turtle shell = AWESOME.

mantidor · « **Reply #949 on:** December 01, 2007, 07:50:53 AM »

I cannot complain enough about the swimming/flying controls, Nintendo, use the stupid remote functionality! you only used it in the manta ray level, that was enormously dissapointing.

I wonder if I'm the only one who raises his arms in victory after each star I got, each one feels like a completly new refreshing challenge that never seems like a chore, even the hard ones.
