darksnowman Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I played some three player with / nando / and our other mate last night- I was Blueberry Toad or whatever they dubbed him. Tell you what, it wasn't long at all before the dirty tactics started seeping in and we were trying to leg it through the levels as fast as possible to leave each other behind to die... and generally trying to kill each other any way we could manage.
canand Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I am haveing this game for Christmas cool I cant wait.
RedShell Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I've just arrived at World 8, the first stage on it literally blew my mind! So... Incredibly... Awesome! :awesome: Also loved the stages on world 7... Those ones with the water bubbles floating in the air. Great fun. Beautiful tune on the world 7 map too: Audio Can see that one getting many a remix down the line.
Mike Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 We're going at the same pace, RedShell - I also started World 8 yesterday, and I agree, the first level was great - really challenging.
LostOverThere Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 My favourite stage so far is 5-5. I absolutely love the scrolling sky, it really reminds me of that certain stage in Super Mario Bros. 3.
Serebii Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 I fully enjoy 8-7 and 9-8...both hilariously fun
Hero-of-Time Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 I fully enjoy 8-7 and 9-8...both hilariously fun Yeah, I had a smile on my face while playing 9-8. Bouncy! Bouncy!
Happenstance Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Need some help on World 8, Airship boss. Its the one where: A giant bomb keeps getting dropped and rolls. I assume you are supposed to wait for it to explode then use the floor rising to jump higher but im having real trouble doing that and the one time I jumped high enough I got hurt.
Serebii Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Well thats odd, just beat all levels and used all warp cannons and done all secret exits and havent got the star for that Need some help on World 8, Airship boss. Its the one where: A giant bomb keeps getting dropped and rolls. I assume you are supposed to wait for it to explode then use the floor rising to jump higher but im having real trouble doing that and the one time I jumped high enough I got hurt. Butt Slam my friend, at any height of a jump will do it

Completed the main game now, back to big coin collecting for me.
Ronnie Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 I f-ing HATE level 9-7. Definitely the hardest in the game, especially if you're trying to get all the star coins.
Hero-of-Time Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 I f-ing HATE level 9-7. Definitely the hardest in the game, especially if you're trying to get all the star coins. Yup it is quite challenging. The best bet is to try and get 1 coin at a time, finish the level and try another one. The hardest one for me was the 2nd one because the plants kept melting the pathway while I was getting the coin. What I did was use a fire flower and star from my items and saved the game. I then started the level and then sprinted as far as I could with my star and then once I got to the coin quickly melted the pathway with my own firepower. If I knackd up I just died, quit to title screen and loaded my save back up.
Kav Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 What a game! What a game! Been playing 2p today with my flatmate and we've had such a blast... Wow!!!
dazzybee Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Yeah, this game is immense. Played 3 player. Awesome stuff and asbolutely nails with a few of you but so so good. Been really busy so only get to world 3 - (both singularly and multiplayer) Can't wait to keep ploughing through. Nintendo, you've done it again!!
Mike Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Just beat World 8 - what an awesome boss! Off to find some star coins now..

If I knackd up I just died, quit to title screen and loaded my save back up. Yep looks like doing 1 star at a time for that level is the best way. Finally managed it. Also got the pop up message when you complete everything So now there's 5 stars on my home screen. To be honest I was expecting a world 9-9 or SOMETHING extra at the end. You'd think they'd give players a nice bonus for getting all the coins in world 9 for instance. I did wonder why there was only one white flag on Bowser's castle when you complete the game, I thought maybe doing it a second time once you had every star coin, secret done, would give you an alternate boss or something, but no such luck. I thought World 9 was pretty disappointing to be honest. Compared to Star Road + the 8 levels after star road in SMW anyway.
RedShell Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Just beat World 8 - what an awesome boss!Same here! Final battle was just unreal... Absolutely incredible! :o:o Exhilarating gameplay and visually stunning too! Great stuff. Had another quality multiplayer sesh earlier on as well. This has got to be one of, if not the best multiplayer games of all time. Right up there with Mario Kart and Smash Bros. for sure. Insanely fun.
Ronnie Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Dunno, the final battle wasn't much of a battle was it? Ah well still great fun though. Unlike the horrible bowser's castle, which still disgusts me with it's rubbish-ness :P
drahkon Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 What the hell...this game seems to be fun. Can't wait to test it tomorrow. We (my girlfriend and two mates) will rent it. I guess it's going to be a fucking blast.
LostOverThere Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Played 2 player yesterday, so damn good. I had such a blast. This game is so damn addictive. Has anyone found they've completely lost track of time playing? I was playing the other day, assumed I had just played for half an hour, but turns out I played for just under one and a half hours.
Dante Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) In Dophin HD emulator: It is odd that Nintendo games look well build for HD. Edited November 28, 2009 by Dante
LostOverThere Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 They don't do it by choice. 3D models can easily be up-scaled without looking pixelated, which is why it would be very possible for a Wii HD to output current Wii games in full HD.
Mike Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Dunno, the final battle wasn't much of a battle was it? Ah well still great fun though. So what? I like how they tried to do something different for a change.
LostOverThere Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 Miyamoto on the inclusion of Super Guide. "At first, we had the option to view the Super Guide on the first menu screen. But as I couldn’t bring myself to allow that, we considered a number of solutions and eventually came up with the idea that after losing three turns, a hint block would appear." http://www.vooks.net/story-18656-Miyamoto-reflects-on-the-Super-Guide.html
Jim Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 When you guys play multiplayer, are you tryna kill each other, or work through it together? So far I've played through to world 5 co-op with my GF, absolutely loving it like I new we would It's definately easier playing single player, tryna get two players through some of the levels is very challenging :P I want to rip through it all single player, but I promised not to play ahead lol
