My god, that shows a world of difference from the E3 stuffs.

HYPE

Looks like Bowser got himself a pimp car after all this years.

Its the level design and themes of the stages is what persuade me.

I think it's seriously sucks that the over world (atleast as far as we know) is a 3D map. What I liked about the 3D mario games is that the over worlds were always original. Peach's castle in 64, Tropical Island in Sunshine and the Ships in the Galaxy series. Leave the unoriginal lvl maps overworld ala Super Mario World for the 2D games.

He already had it in Mario Kart 7 :D

Way more hyped for this now. There seems to be a lot more variety to the levels than the E3 version.

You have a point with Peach Castle and Delfino Plaza, but both Mario Galaxy games don't have a HUD world to really drool about, especially Galaxy 2.

Bowser and his pimpmobile xD
that alone just sold the game for me lol

I think the first Galaxy game's HUD was borderline acceptable, the second was far worst. I agree with you overall that both were lacking but atleast it was ''something''. But it seems that they are becoming lazier and lazier with every game on that aspect. First Galaxy's HUD that was'nt great, then Galaxy2 that sucked and now 3DW that seems non-existent.

I personally don't mind how the HUB looks. I want to explore it and find stars, like Peach's Castle and Delfino Plaza. We only have like a 3 seconds footage of the HUB, so we don't know for sure how it will work in the end. 

For example there seems to be a cave in the background, so maybe you can find a star in there or something.
