I will warn everyone that this post contains a bit spoilers.
If you haven´t played the game yet, but is planning to and don´t want to know about storyline, what the game contains etc, then BUY the game and finish it! recommended!
We all know Mario from Nintendo.
The jolly good italian plumber who saves Princess Peach/toadstool all the time
and makes his brother Luigi lick his shadow while giving Bowser a hard time getting his plans working.
Nintendo just released the newest game, Super Mario 3D land.
I didn´t pre-order this game. As I had so many games to play and school to tend do
I didn´t have in mind spending my money on a new mario game at the moment.
Later tho,I would anyway.
But my friends managed to make me trade in my Rayman 3Ds game for this at the local Game store.
And I can honestly say, I don´t regret that.
I have been a Nintendo kid for as long as I can remember, But had noticed Nintendo games was a bit scares on the quality at times.
A bit worried about the new title, I started the 3DS and turned on the game.
After all, this was supposed to be like a awesome mix between new times Mario and Mario Bros 3, right?
The Tanookie suit is making its comeback alongside with…not the hammerbro suit, but Boomerangbro costume.
I can say so far after finishing the first part of the storyline, not counting in the second play-through
I´m quite impressed.
The game in general was a bit simple compared to other titles released, but I think myself that this is a game
that people can play, take a break from and go back to again and also gaming it without giving up in rage.
This game caused me to rage… I think… just two times. Mostly my own fault. But that is what games is a bit about.
The skill curve was really good in this one. Starting easy and progressing to the harder part. It did a good job!
Also NOT having a tutorial really made the experience SO much better!
The tutorial is already actually in the start demo. If you wait long enough at the title screen, you will get a optical illusion
and commands to play around with. Both to learn you how to controll and use the 3D.
The 3D in this game is not forcing you to use it.
It gives symbols in the start of certain levels where it is «recommended,» but you can choose not to use it.
I use it both. So when my eyes get a bit tired, I just turn it off and it looks nice then as well.
The music in the game is really cozy. Old remade tracks and some new really makes the levels set their mood.
Ghost house, forests, water world… I really enjoyed just listening to the tracks while gaming.
My favourite parts in the game must be the old-school illustrated cards you find to see how the princess is doing.
So funny with the function that if you shake or move your 3DS in any directions, the figures on those cards will move!
I have been shaking my 3DS like mad while playing!
It´s a short game, that I can say, but it depends on how much time you invest in it.
And I get the impressions as the old Mario games were. Exept now you can save and not loose progress like in Mario brothers 3.
I finished the first part in 77 minutes I think, but then I got the cool thing, if you collect 100 Star coins. Something will happen.
Hmmm… I dunno really what to say more about this game so far…
This is just my first impression so far and I will finish the game before I dare to give it a rating.
So I will for now go back to Skyrim and try to get through the storyline there 🙂
But I can say that I recommend this Mario game. It´s fun, badass and cute!
Especially a perfect Xmas gift for kids and the general Mario/Nintendo fan.
So Check it out! Chill out! and I will write to you later 😀
