This whole game feels so off
>>12273081Does it unnerve you enough that your heart goes "doki doki" in a panic? Eh? Ehhhhhhh?
DID YOU KNOW?
>>12273081First of all this game has nothing to do with mario. They just used the mario™ sprites and called it mario 2
This whole game feels so right.
So does Mario Bros 3, and that's a mainline Mario game
>>12273081This game isn't a Mario game, they bought a game and put Mario sprites in it.
>>12273086>>12273090>>12273087>>12273093WE'RE ALL MADE OF THE SAME STUFF STARS ARE THIS IS A COOL FACT NOBODY EVER HEARD
>>12273092Mario 3 is nearly universally loved
>>12273097>stars are made out of blood, skin, muscles, fat, and boneWtf that's fucking unsettling
>>12273101Holy reddit
>don't just jump on enemies>take an extra step to pick something up and throw itwish i could just play it like a Mario (Mario 1 up until that point). it's like those CD-i Zelda games where you have to stab rupees with your sword to collect them.
If you used the POW block you didn't beat the game
>>12273103>Holy reddit
>>12273132Ok
This fucker scared me shitless as a kid.
>>12273092mario 3 is the platonic ideal of a mario game and 2d platformer in general.
sorry reddit but it's an official mario game
>>12273158Mario is canonically American.>b-b-b-but Mario was made by a jap-The Japanese depict Americans with big noses. Mario is American.>b-b-b-but
its a mario game but its not mainline and never will be. much like yoshis island or wario land, it simply doesnt count.
>>12273172well no shit he is american, no one debates this. hes from brooklyn and speaks with a thick italiano accent. literally no one was going around saying mario is japanese.
>>12273081soundtrack is mindblowing, one of the best in all gaming
>>12273098>>12273154He looks like a gay mickey mouse oc, real mario looks like an armenian taxi driver
>>12273130Are there P.O.Ws inside lf the block?
I definitely like the mario 3 sprites more than any other game. he is too rough and greasy in 1, and too cartoonish in world. this is just right. plus I have a soft spot for those black overalls. its just dapper. and obviously.. those powerups are pure fucking SOVL incarnate.and it was all butchered, raped and destroyed by all stars, naturally.
>>12273218>https://P.O.Ws
It's actually the best 2d Mario. Wart should have been in Smash and he and Mouser should have been in Mario Kart. Also Shy Guys are rad. And you can play as Toad. Also Bill the Pidgit and Dr. Donez live in this game.
>>12273183The Tom Brier ragtime version of this game's music is profound and superhuman
>>12273172Mario has always been an Italian-American plumber in official canon.
>>12273173>its not mainline>When you realize "it's not a REEEAL Mario game" sounds too full of shit, but you still wanna hang on to the dumb anecdote
>>12273173Luigi jumping higher than Mario was first codified in SMB2, and Luigi's abilities have remained that way up until today
>>12273092It wasn't until Super Mario World that the series finally had a return to form.
>>12273296warios tackle was codified in wario land. yoshi throwing eggs was codified in yoshis island. they still arent mainline. a game actually being designed as a mario game, believe it or not, is a pretty low fucking requirement for something to be considered mainline mario.
>>12273296Luigi jumps higher than Mario in SMB1, if you hold the A button for longer.
>>12273212Yup. I'm sure there's an alternate universe where we got Mario Taxi instead of Crazy Taxi.
>>12273090>First of all this game has nothing to do with mariothat explains why it has actual gameplay instead of just holding right
>>12273081It's because you're retarded. Just learn to enjoy it.
>>12273312Based canon-aligned button holder.
>>12273313let’sa-go!
>>12273312he’s got longer legs
>>12273098That's a meaningless statement. You can't rate a game's quality by making a claim that is demonstrably false.
>>12274054Your post makes absolutely no sense in his self-contradictory.
>>12273093Pretty sure Doki Doki Panic was made by the Mario guys anyway. They didn't buy it from some nobodies
>>12273093>they bought a gameNo they absolutely did not. Doki Doki Panic was made by Nintendo R&D4, led by Shigeru Miyamoto, the exact same team that made Super Mario Bros and The Legend of Zelda.
>>12273093>>12274138And just to fill in more details (since, frankly, I'm astonished that there are still people that don't know about this, being the most famous and well-known so-called "rare video game trivia" thing)...Nintendo R&D4 sent Super Mario Bros 2 (the original) over to Nintendo of America, and Howard Phillips deemed it unacceptable, citing that it was too similar to the first game, featuring only minimal differences or additions, and refused to release it as a mainline sequel. In a hurry, Nintendo R&D4 adapted another game they had made, Doki Doki Panic, reskinning it into a Mario game (with a few other minor changes) and sending that along in its place as the US Mario sequel. Doki Doki Panic was originally developed to promote Fuji Television's Yume Kojo '87 (Dream Machine '87) technology festival, a 6-week long event that people could attend to see the future of tech in Japan (including but not limited to video games). The four arabian nights-themed characters of Doki Doki Panic (Imajin, his sister Lina, and Mama and Papa) were mascots created to promote the festival. The event had an additional theme of "Carnivale", hence why you see floating masks such as Phanto in the game, and the large bird heads that open to admit you to the next level.
>>12273081how did nintendo got away after scamming the US market by selling this as SMB 2?
>>12274186Also, just to draw the last obvious connection to the close, the title of the festival (Yume Kojo/Dream Machine) is why the game takes place in Subcon/The World of Dreams, and King Wart/Mamu literally attacks you with a dream machine. And Mario wakes up at the end with it "all being a dream"* (Adapted into Subcon being a world formed by the collective dreams of the people of the Mushroom Kingdom; in DDP, it takes place inside a storybook).>>12274190>"scamming">>12274190The original SMB2(j) was the "scam". Adapting YK:DDP into a Mario game was the improvement, from NoA's perspective. Read above.Or, judging from your extremely poor English (and the fact you call this a "scam" at all, which is, quite frankly, pretty dumb) suggests you're either "trolling" or indian, in either case don't reply to this post.
>>12274197Jesus christKillyourself ,tendie
>>12274209He's posting honest, verifiable facts, why are you mad?
>>12273218No that was the game you got to punch people with brass knuckles
>>12274186One man who didn't even make the games changed the Mario franchise forever. Shy Guys and Bob-ombs are so ingrained in the Mario-verse now it's hard to believe they weren't always part of it.
>>12273296>Luigi jumping higher than Mario was first codified in SMB2.This statement is factually true, but not in the way you intended.
>>12274263>wrong but still rightthe best kind of "right"
>>12274232And he was right, SMB2J kinda sucks, it's just a level pack.
>>12273173Series staples first appeared in it, you can cope all you want.
>>12273081Here comes another Chinese earthquake
>>12273132>>12273101we did it reddit!
>>12273296Luigi's design as we know it started with SMB2, instead of just making him Green Mario.
>>12273081did you know that this was originally a japanese game called doki doki literature club
>>12273081Mandela effect, in my universe it was called donkey donkey picnic
Honestly this is the best Mario on NES. You have the four characters each with their own pluses and minuses, they all have their uses. They are all authentic, copyrighted, official Mario characters. So what if it was based on some other game? What is Mario's back story? He literally had to climb some slightly inclined planks, to bonk a gorilla. And then do it over again. Later, despite being a plumber, he got a job as a general purpose "opposition killer" and spent his time killing things that stood in the way of him possibly getting a crumb of pussy. He got coins too but never, ever that pussy. Finally he got into all kinds of other adventures, but never got closer to that pussy nor did the coins seem to make a difference - after collecting his hundred trillionth coin, you'd think this poor old guy could either retire now, or only take jobs which contractually obligate the Princess to give him a tiny crumb of that sweet pink pussy.All the other games make no sense. This one? You can KILL the Princess, over and over. You fly through bird's mouths and get shat out the other side of some Sumerian-tier bicephalous animal. It's weird. The other games make less sense though. This one? You have to just, figure shit out. Enemies will follow you from stage to stage. It's frightening.It's the thinking person's Mario.

I'll just say it's the Mario game on NES I return to most often. That's really the only thing that matters.I'll also note however that it's a common thing for writers in many different media to progressively adapt new elements into their stories that weren't necessarily planned from the beginning. Some writers collaborate, many bounce ideas off their confrères or spouses. It has been observed time and time again by authors themselves that many stories are not merely penned down straight from mind to hand, but birth themselves gradually, with ideas coming from a variety of directions coalescing out of the ether into a fully formed world. Mario 2 beginning life not as a Mario game doesn't really matter all that much, when the authors of the franchise later decided it did in fact fit into the universe quite nicely, with a satisfying click.
>>12273098 they bought a game and put Mario sprite
>>12273081The same way this whole game feels so off, right?
>>12275105>bought a gamelol, retard
>>12273132Did you read his foray into book-writing?
The fact that Toad and the Princess are actual "allies" of Mario and Luigi is set in stone in this game, and that lore point carries forth from that point to the newest Nintendo games as well as the movies and comics and other licensed material.
>>12275109Yes.
>>12274813Toad can raad?
>>12275447Toad is toad-ally radical, yes.
>>12274186there's barely any footage of the festival online, only some tv promos and a short docu on yt
>>12273081There is literally no reason not to play the All-stars version over this one.
>>12275586I play both.
>>12274209Why so mean, retard?
>>12273314Can you beat the original SMB by only and ONLY pressing right?
>>12273081I don’t like it at allI don’t like 2D Mario to begin with but 2 is just horrible Unfun, boring slop Looks ugly as sin The MOST dumb fuck attack method of ANY game I’ve ever played (ok first you jump..then you land on something…then you pick that thing up from underneath your feet…then you throw it!!!)Were they actually high when they conceived this?
>>12273081That's because it's a dream of a video game character--and they are alive as much as we are.
>>12276368>Looks ugly as sinThis is mostly due to newer versions (like on Switch 1/2 NOS) having the worst color output possible, I assure you. That's right, everything on the NOS service is purposely made to look like crap because of some idiot's opinion on how they should look; but it's an objective fact that CRTs had better color options and Nintendo themselves advertised their games at those highly saturated settings, so I know it's a fact.
>>12273081This game is satanic. You can sense evil radiating off of the screen and through your body
>>12276485Incorrect thats NSMB. Mario 2 is soulful.
