Rodimus Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I'm picking this one up after work on Friday. I loved it on the WiiU and it was a reason to have a Wii U and one of the top games I wanted on the Switch from the Wii U. Now they just need to released the Zelda HD remakes on the Switch.

JosephManderley Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I get paid next week, and really want to pick this up, but on the other hand I have bought a ton of games recently and feel shamed by my backlog.

Ghost_MH Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I didn't realize that this game was going to be so Miiverse-y.

From what I have seen, yes. Basically endless Mario levels. Of course, they may not feel like Nintendo crafted levels. Not sure if that is good or bad to you. From the first game, but same shit.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Yeah, had no idea about he lunchbox that Target was giving away with the game. We dropped in tonight and the husband picked up a copy and they still had lunchboxes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 So far, the Story Mode levels feel more or less like normal Mario levels. I hope it'll be easy to find a lot of user-made levels like these, because that's what I'm looking for. Not the "look at all of this random stuff I jammed into this for no reason" levels or the ones that are designed to make streamers cry.

Stuff where you can’t jump and whatnot. I made a very simple level in about 10 minutes and uploaded it. The wheels are already turning for something more creative though. I’m loving the game.

Nokt Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Just finished the story mode earlier today. It's okay... As a bunch of people have noted, there isn't really any "normal" mario levels anywhere to be found in the story mode. Everything has a dedicated theme to it and its forced down your throat for good or bad. Some of the levels are pretty decent, others can die in a dumpster fire. Nothing feels like a really great level and they are all pretty short. There is some side quests that you can do along the way like helping the dog get his home, helping the yellow Toad made stone statues, and the eraser erase stuff. You also unlock two power ups that aren't available if you just jump into creating. Luckily its a rather short story mode, I did everything except beating all of the level and I probably put 4 hours tops into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Im 50% through story mode at least that’s how much castle is built, and personally this is the most fun side scrolling SMB game since SMW for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I made a level for a buddy who is OK at Mario, so it’s not too difficult. V11-0FC-98G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Beat story mode, that was a blast. But, I wish you had to beat all the levels to finish the castle. I have like 20 levels left, and I’ll finish them because they are a lot of fun, but it’s weird having done everything to build and having this many left. That was a lot of fun though, now to try course mode more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
