All the floating platforms are stapled against the background, all the backgrounds are painted on a flat wall. Visual cues to it being a stage production are all over the game, just like how Super Mario 64 was a documentary of Mario's adventures.

There weren't any "plain" Mario adventures - which is to say Mario just running off and saving the Princess in the Mushroom Kingdom without having the paparazzi following him - on consoles between Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

It just doesn't make any difference to me. It's just a game anyway and they used a specific style for the presentation. There's no Mario game which takes place on two layers, as in a real adventure and an unreal one.

Well, that's an interesting claim.

I'm sorry if I am intruding on you during your current conversation, but I would like it if you could expand upon your reasoning behind this. The statement strikes me as plainly and patently false, you see, unless your definition of 'adventure' is very different from mine. I suppose you haven't read Juul, though?

I have no words worth sharing about this thread in general, by the way.
