Mario has been king of platformers for 30 years, so he's the one everyone is compared to. I'm not saying that they are identical but to claim that LBP doesn't draw some inspiration from Mario is just crazy. My point is compare away, but don't try to distance youself at the same time. |
That makes sense, but I think the point Pezus was originally trying to make was that LBP isn't a copy/clone of Mario in the same way PABR is a copy/clone of Smash Bros. LBP definitely has similarities with Mario, but less than what PABR has with Smash Bros.
