I may be overrating 64 tbh
no way, the amount of effort they went into designing sheer joy of moving and inhabiting environments in 64 is still stunning
sunshine = mario 65galaxy = mario 66galaxy 2 = mario 67odyssey = mario 68
we're all on the edge of our seats for the next 3d one
idk I'm lying on my side, makes extended gameplay easier

cool video about a SM64 speedrunning glitch that shaves a full minute off your time (skipping the carpet in Rainbow Ride), with the caveat that it's nearly impossible to do. "nearly" being the key word here. the mechanics of this are insane

you can skip to 5:20 if you just wanna see it done

This game is nice but people were talking about it in the same ... sentence ... as Zelda and I think that's misleading. Planning to sue.
― lukas, Thursday, 16 April 2020 17:02 (four years ago) link
i enjoyed it more than zelda but its not particularly comparable in any way other than being a nintendo switch game?
― ciderpress, Thursday, 16 April 2020 17:57 (four years ago) link
Well it was sort of "these are the two essential games", I interpreted this in a way that was harmful to me and my enjoyment of Odyssey, the end
― lukas, Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:04 (four years ago) link
yeah, i know what you mean. they are often compared to each other in terms of just overall quality/fun, and although i like odyssey a lot it's not on the same level as BotW

100% agreed, but if you own a Switch this should be the second game you buy for sure
― Nhex, Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:08 (four years ago) link
there's enough good switch games now that i wouldn't try to call anything an essential. two years ago it would have been more accurate
― ciderpress, Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:09 (four years ago) link
like animal crossing and smash are gonna be easily more essential than both of those for various sects of people
― ciderpress, Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:10 (four years ago) link
ok, Smash I'll give because it is like the ur-version of all Smashes combinedAnimal Crossing seems pretty incremental compared to older versions, but i haven't looked too deep into the new version
― Nhex, Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:24 (four years ago) link
see, i don't know about that! that might be true for some people, but i don't think true for most people

it's-a-Nintendo! it's-a-Mario! come on now
― Nhex, Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:39 (four years ago) link
for real, that is a very good and compelling point! haha. i mean, that's why it was the second game i bought! i knew i was going to play it, i just had to go ahead and knock it out.

The RC car operator is the only human Mario can capture in Super Mario Odyssey. Normally, he is only seen from behind during this. However, by precisely positioning Mario beforehand, there are a few frames where is possible to get a closer look at the man's face while captured. pic.twitter.com/Dz6enn1o6U— Supper Mario Broth (@MarioBrothBlog) May 29, 2020

feel like it only dawned on me how big this game is once i started to track down 500 moons
― lag∞n, Thursday, 8 October 2020 15:52 (three years ago) link
only true nintendo heads can collect all the moons and all the korok seeds
― president of my cat (Karl Malone), Thursday, 8 October 2020 15:56 (three years ago) link
lol the korok seeds are a bridge too far, i did do all the shrines tho

If I've never played any of the games in the 3D collection, it's pretty much something I have to remedy, right?

none of the 2d marios made post 64 are as good as the 3d marios
― ciderpress, Sunday, 11 October 2020 16:15 (three years ago) link
i have played all the 3d marios available on the switch and here is my rankings
4. sunshine3. galaxy2. 641. odyssey

the cap jump is so crucial
― lag∞n, Friday, 13 November 2020 15:52 (three years ago) link
the cap is the best mario mechanic they should never make another mario with cappy
withOUT cappy
― lag∞n, Friday, 13 November 2020 15:53 (three years ago) link
also the seamlessness of the camera control kinda makes the other mario unplayable
i hope they are making odyssey 2
― lag∞n, Friday, 13 November 2020 15:54 (three years ago) link
odyssey is kind of funny its very easy "to win" but doesnt really become awesome until you are pretty good at it
― lag∞n, Friday, 13 November 2020 15:55 (three years ago) link
i need to go back to odyssey and try to poopsock the remaining moons. i didn't spend enough time with it, the first time around, because it was my first switch game and i was itching to get into breath of the wild.
but i don't think any mario mechanic can top the raccoon suit
― @oneposter(✔️) (Karl Malone), Friday, 13 November 2020 16:29 (three years ago) link
I “beat” SMO but I still can’t do any of those fun-looking things like cap jumps.
― DJI, Friday, 13 November 2020 16:35 (three years ago) link
yeah, i never got very good at that either.
what if they mapped the super cool cap jump mechanic to a button? for example, the A button
― @oneposter(✔️) (Karl Malone), Friday, 13 November 2020 16:37 (three years ago) link
guys just go to metro or sand kingdom and run around practicing the cap jump and then combos including the cap jump, its not that hard once you figure it out, at first i was def spazzing and trying to time the button pressing when really you can just hold them down and its chill
its like a different game once you get it down, theres so much stuff you can just cap jump over onto etc, the mechanics of the game are so good and satisfying the better you get at them
― lag∞n, Friday, 13 November 2020 16:52 (three years ago) link
jump, throw the cap, z button to start the dive, then hold down jump until you jump off the cap, and thats it
you can also jump after rather than before the throw, and you can do all diff jumps the pound jump and so forth to start it, and once you jump off the cap you can do another dive or whatever, you go a lil further/higher if you throw the cap a second time then dive
― lag∞n, Friday, 13 November 2020 17:06 (three years ago) link
maybe the slickest combo is throwing the cap, rolling into it which does this jump that pops you up pretty high, then do a cap jump
― lag∞n, Friday, 13 November 2020 17:10 (three years ago) link
I assume Mario yells out something extremely pleasing when you do that last move
― @oneposter(✔️) (Karl Malone), Friday, 13 November 2020 18:10 (three years ago) link
i felt great whenever I did those cap jumps, almost always by accident
― Nhex, Friday, 13 November 2020 18:15 (three years ago) link
if youre wearing the metal mario outfit the cap makes a nice clunk when u jump off it
― lag∞n, Friday, 13 November 2020 18:39 (three years ago) link
i got all the moons except for four

i'm still taking the fact that they never made a dlc level or two for this game even though its a perfect candidate for it as proof that they're making a 2
