Whats the point in failing? I dont get why people want to get punished. Seriously If I die and have to replay the level or start from the checkpoint isnt this punishment enough? I know I failed why do I have to see a GAME OVER SCRREN to know I failed? I dont get these people...

Seriously If I play a game and have to repeat somethning 100x times I stop playing it.  i stop playing a game when I have to see the same cutscene 10x times because i died and I have no way of skipping that cutscene etc.  Its more annoying to waste time than to not see a game over screen.


If their is nothing at stake then how exiting can a game be at all? I mean fi you have 500 lives and just can´t lose where is the fun after mastering it? It would be a bigger achivement to fail then to succeed.

 

 


Your persumption is there is nothing at stake, a game over screen is not the only thing you could loose, for example he got 500 lives, so he missed out on the star for max lives, if he used a white leaf he missed out on the shiny stars, if he didn't collect all of the secret coins and find all the hidden exits he missed out on completeing those stars as well. He plainly admits, the game is fun

despite his otherwise crazy ranting, so having played this game, and enjoying this game for what it was (i.e.; A Mario 2D Platformer) it was well worth the purchase, the amount of lives is irrelevant, how many coins can you get, how fast can you beat the level (compared to others), can you reach max lives, get all the star coins, the moon coins? can you never use the white leaf, find all the secret exits? I did, got to about 112,000 coins or so, was able to get one level where I had more than 1000 coins in that level, so I was happy and enjoyed the various challenges in that game. Also the tanooki suit is not the same as the racoon leaf, tale and ears or no, the tanooki let you float in the 3D platformer (and turn to stone later on) the leaf lets you fly, limited distances

 

So, does it suck? No. Not at all.
