The cat power-up has potential to be my favorite Mario power-up. Often the non-temporary power-ups are 1) Cute but kinda shitty outside specific areas(Bee Mario, Frog Mario on land, Giant/Tiny Mario in NSMB, or 2) stupidly overpowered to the point they trivialize the level design(The Cape, 3DLand's Tanooki Suit). Cat Suit is not only adorable, but it also gives you new ways to interact with enemies and the environment, without "lololol let me just float/fly over all these obstacles" OP status
It's pretty much like this for the whole video.
lol wow

Charles Martinet doing cat noises is the exact opposite of cute.
lol wow

how can people who play games for a living be so bad at games
the first time I played the 3D World demo I long jumped and cat dived my way through the entire level in like 30 seconds lol

All of these gifs are best viewed to the sound of Yakety Sax.
Most people will usually tell you
It's tough to talk and play at the same time.
Or describe and play I guess
Because we talk and play with online games all the time.
lol wow
Haha can't stop laughing.

Nintendo mentioned, there is also advanced moves with the catsuit for the competitive player that can be used to figure out the fastest time while traversing through a level.
That title screen is awesome. Now just need to see it on my tv in 60fps.
Seems like it. That must be part of Nintendos plan to transition 2d players, to 3d.

The game looks like an absolute blast. But I have to say, purely talking aesthetics (visuals and music), this doesn't even touch the feet of the Galaxy games.

A better look at the opening cutscene. We actually get to see some of the bros' plumbing skills at work! And I LOVE the music here.

Lol the way Mario and Luigi fixed that pipe all plumber like was adorable and awesome! This game sure has a lot of charm something 3D Land lacked.
Is this the first time Mario actually did his actual job? Fixing pipes.

The full intro is actually kind of amazing.
There's usually so little allowance for expressiveness or breaking the fourth wall in the mainline Mario games. Much more common to see stuff like that in an Alpha Dream game and such.
If Miyamoto is going to consider Mario and friends actors who are playing along with whatever the premise of the game is (which I don't think is a bad thing), then they should take advantage of that. Sharper humor, more self-awareness.

Actual Plumbing.... goty
Yes, 8 way. Not even the galaxies required more than 8 ways for any of the stages so I don't think is a bad thing, also in 3D land the restriction varied from stage to stage, in some areas we got full 360.
The music makes this scene imo

The plumbing is amazing. I wish there was more humor like that in the game. The choppy animation only makes it better.

Fuck a feel like the only Nintendo fan not excited about this game, and I was pretty hyped for NSMBU.

It is a really good game, you won't regret the purchase. Is challenging once you unlock the 2nd playthrough.
Well since you should know this by now, the "master quest" (yes I'm talking about Mario 3d land) is the best part of this game.

Game changer!
Love Peach clapping and Luigi taking measures before fixing the pipe.
It does.
nope it happened in the Mario & Luigi saga
looks so adorable. it's amazing how a simple animation about two plumbers just plumbing away oozes so much charm!
It is great. The main theme is so malleable. Every arrangement I've heard of it has been lovely.
A least you know who the true duo to choose between is in SMB2 styled games.

"Why is SMG2's main theme such a terrible midi arrangement? Lazy expansion pack shit right there"
"...but hell, at least the levels are rounded and shit. The visual direction doesn't seem too lazy to me because of inconsequential shit, and that's the only thing that matters"

For 8 worlds there isn't much challenge. Then the next 8 worlds are challenging.

Mario 3d Land was hailed upon release as an all-time great game, and kept that general honor until the minute the 3D World trailer dropped. Then it became one of the worst games ever and Sunshine became the best ever (all thanks to trolls pushing this narrative nonstop). If you enjoy 3D Mario at all, you will love 3D Land and as others have said, the second half of the game is quite challenging. First half is standard 2D Mario level of difficulty I would say.
I disagree. From the between world animations of Mario catching the postcard and reacting, to bringing back the old school artstyle, to the
animation on some of the enemies and bosses 3D Lands charm was small doses that went a long long way. Theres a light disney-esque quality to it without having to be grandiose that i really appreciate. Like the charm you get from an early Mickey Mouse short as opposed to a full on feature.
