How was I supposed to know you could go inside the paintings?
By talking to Toad you stupid bitch.
>>719601835How was I supposed to know you could talk to Toad?
>>719601950Because is a video game.
It's been forever been I think the manual might have mentioned it.
>anon buys a game and stands there like a fucking roomba without orders if they game doesnt spoon feed him instead of clicking buttons and searching for interactions like any normal player would try to do.Unironic npcs i fucking swear
>>719602080And? Tetris is a video game. No other game had paintings as arbitrary portals to other worlds. There should have just been some sort of level select like Mario 3 or World. Having to navigate a labyrinth just to play a level is terrible game design. >>719602327>Requiring outside sources for progression. Awful. What if I rented the game from Blockbuster or got it at a flea market?
Are you all replying in earnest to an obvious known meme thread or am I getting trolled
>>719602579Do you also not read booklets packed in the box of model kits?
You weren't. You were just supposed to go for a nice stroll around the castle grounds and turn the game off.
>>719600647They ripple when you get close
>>719602579Adventure games usually require you to talk to NPC's. You would know that if you paid attention to the genres of games before you played them.
>>719600647mario if he retarded
Hold up, you can go inside the paintings? I've played this game for hundreds of hours, I thought you were just supposed to play around on the castle grounds.
>>719600647I never knew about Hazy Maze Cave when played by mario 64 because i was expecting to jump into a painting
>>719601950>>719602080He got you there.
>wait a minute... that art.
>>719600647By purchasing an issue of Nintendo Power, duh
>>719600647Video games used to expect their players to test out all the buttons and try to interact with everything. The first room you enter from the castle lobby contains nothing but the painting that leads you to Bob-Omb Battlefield, or Whomp's Fortress, respectively. The room for Bob-Omb battlefield has a raised platform which draws your attention to the painting, and being that nothing else is in the room, you might be inclined to walk up to it. And if you do, you'll notice that it ripples conspicuously. Maybe you'll try punching it next, which won't do anything new. So then you'll try jumping into it.And if that somehow doesn't happen, your curiosity will have you explore the room and notice Toad, maybe doing something with him unlocks a door? So you'll press all the buttons, and you'll conveniently know when you're close enough to him, because he becomes opaque instead of transparent.And he'll tell you that there are worlds INSIDE the paintings. With that information you'll probably realize you need to Jump into the painting.It's not that hard. And even failing all of those implicit and explicit tutorializations, if you're still stumped, you can read the manual, which outright tells you that you access courses by jumping into the paintings.There are multiple layers of indications that even the densest person in the world ought to be able to get a hold of at least one.
>>719600647>didnt take any shrooms before playingI really don't know how to help you.Next chamce i get, i'm getting some
By reading the manual like every other person that bought the game
>>719600647How did you figure out to put the cartridge in the console? How did you figure out how to even turn the console on?We'll never know.
>>719600647The way the stairs and platform are set up kind of highlight the painting and guide you towards it. It will also ripple if you get next to it.
>>719606302Does the game tell you to read the manual ?
>>719600647The game was made for white people.
>>719608372No but there's plenty of time to go throught it while watching the opening cinematic
The ripple effect is incredible. Still looks good.
>>719602579How did you know you were supposed to form a horizontal line across the playing field in Tetris?
>>719600647You're supposed to jump face first into real life picatures foist
When one of my friends got Luigi's Mansion he couldn't figure out how to leave the portrait room in E.Gad's lab and just shut the game off there. A couple days later he played again and actually got into the mansion proper. I was bewildered with how he bought the game, only played it for five minutes, and then called me to tell me about five minutes of tutorial gameplay he did. It wasn't like he was frustrated or anything either, his attitude was "well I'm not really sure what to do next, so I'll just end it here for today".
...you were supposed to open the box?there was a game inside?well shit
>>719609720Actually, you were one of the few who did it right. You were supposed to never open the box and then resell it for $600 20 years later.
>>719603386I unironically did this for a while until I realized I could jump into the paintings
>>719602815i have nothing better to do
>>719600647kind of bullshit since the first ones you find just fall over and crush mario to death
>How was I supposed to know you could go inside the paintings?Because back in the early 3D days there wasn't a million different objects on screen so anything that stuck out would naturally be investigated. It's a big empty room with a painting so clearly the painting is important, it also ripples when you go near it.
>>719600647Did you have 0 imagination as a kid? Of course the painting is gonna be a magic portal.
