I think that probably should have been spoiler'd, just in case someone didn't want to know that.

Well there is a talkback thread already so it is going to be hard to avoid it.:/

[Mop it up]

I know, I saw the headline on the front page. It's annoying.

It's not NWR's fault that you can see.  :

Cloud Mario.

I want to smoke whatever Nintendo is smoking right now.

[BlackNMild2k1]

No. Mario is on Cloud 9 right now.

[Caterkiller]

Does no one else think multiplayer might actually be something now? I'm more interested in how that will turn out than you know who Mario at the moment.

Oh man, so many commenter's on that Kotaku article are acting as if its the end of the world seeing Mario in a cloud suit.  Whats the big deal?  He's been wearing goofing suits for years!  Would a raccoon suit be more logical??  Man, people need to relax.  Besides, it looks pretty awesome.

I agree the cloud suit looks neat. I think some people just want to see the old powerups return and aren't willing to love new ones.

[Stratos]

I'm excited at the gameplay opportunities the cloud could bring. I could picture something like the ice suit in Galaxy 1 for starters. Run off a ledge and you'll keep going a la Looney Toons. It could also be similar to how the cloud in Super Mario World worked that you rode it around.

It could also be like stated earlier with the pow '!' block. You get the power up and you can then walk on clouds that already exist in the level.

Exactly. I can only imagine if they tried to introduce something like Kuribo's Shoe now: "What? Mario hopping around in a green shoe? That is so stupid.".

^ Now that is how you post a spoiler without it instantly being a spoiler

For those that didn't want to know it was a new powerup before playing the actual game.

I hope cloud Mario is more interesting than Orange Yoshi from sunshine. Wait... all Yoshi's from sunshine, each yoshi's juice made platforms remember? For some reason  only orange ghost platforms come to mind when I remember yoshi abilities in Sunshine.

If there's a Lakitu Homeworld planet where I can throw spiny beetles at Lakitus' faces, count me in

My favorite first page Kotaku comments, with my replies in bold.

"Obviously this design cleared with Square for Mallow likeness.  Ahh, the memories of the true Mario RPG."
Mario and Luigi along with Paper Mario would like to have a word with you in that dank, dark alley.
"Okay, on a more mature note. When Cloud Mario farts, I wonder what comes out?"
An extra jump boost.
"An article I read recently said that each sip of  drinking water contains numerous prescription drugs thanks to everyone  and their mother being on something after seeing an ad telling them  they needed to be on something. Then the leftovers of that something  are flushed down the toilet. Could all those drugs being flushed away  and Mario walking on clouds be connected? Stay tuned ..."
Because we all know that all the illegal drugs we flush down the toilet is automatically shipped to Kyoto at Nintendo's head office.
"I was as big a fan as anyone of Kuribo's Shoe and  the Hammer Bros. suit, but IMO, Nintendo should limit Mario's power-ups  to Starman, Mushroom, Fire Flower, and one well-integrated specialty  per game (with my choice being Super Leaf/Raccoon, Mini Mushroom, or  Ice Flower).
 
  All these one-off suits just feel gimmicky to me and end up diluting the experience."
Nintendo makes millions off of these games, you don't. STFU and keep playing your NES.

Better than some bloody waterpack.

But none of the items in Galaxy 2 have bad voice acting to mock.

Ahhh, I love comments.  Good stuff Peachala.  Most days, I have more fun reading comments on sites like Joystiq than the actual articles.  Reading iphone comments today was pretty entertaining.

[Peachylala]

Reading Kotaku comments is like reading bad fan fiction.

[Stratos]

I'll take Kotaku comments over youTube comments. youTube comments make me feel like I'm losing braincells most of the time.

You'd be surprised.  On the viral videos yes, but there are a number of pretty intelligent people on there who make videos about philosophy that generate some good debate.

[Stratos]

Though IGN is far worse. Spam and hooting idiot fanboys.
