Google told me green isn't a primary color. Dictionnary told me that.

"Primary colors are sets of colors that can be combined to make a useful range of colors. For human applications, three are often used; for additive combination of colors, as in overlapping projected lights or in CRT displays, the primary colors normally used are red, green, and blue. For subtractive combination of colors, as in mixing of pigments or dyes, such as in printing, the primaries normally used are cyan, magenta, and yellow.^[1]"

What's with the debate over what is a primary color?

Everyone who passed kindergarten knows they are RED, BLUE, YELLOW and Black & WHITE.

Awesome, beautiful scans...
Lots of hype...
Arguing about Toad color swap characters...
Discussion of different sets of primary colors...

This thread is on a sad trajectory.

Gosh, can't you people read? :s

Just read up on your facts before you start blabbering. Red, yellow and blue are subtractive primary colors. Red, GREEN and blue are additive primary colors. So yellow is a primary color, but so is green. Fact. Now stop claiming otherwise, it's like saying the sky is pink when it's not. :s

I'll stop derailing this thread even further now and wish others would do the same.

This is supposed to be about how awesome NSMBW will be! :D

I'm glad Erik Aston has some common sense.

Also, they're primary colors but if it was not at the same time.. we would have 3 player Mario instead of 4 and that would be underwhelming.

But nobody's arguing that. And this is a message board, so they have to argue about something.

I didnt want another game for the holidays but looks like it can't be helped.

Cool things in the scans to discuss:

Corkscrew mushrooms which you raise by spinning. Reminds me of Sonic.

Amazing SMW style ghosthouse!

Koopa Kid fight in some kind of castle tower with raising and lowering platforms.

Mario using a POW block to flip beetles in a cave level.

Special blocks you can grab onto above your head (like grabbing teammates in multi), including a propeller block and a ghost block of some sort.

Classic "gazillions of Cheep-Cheeps jumping out of the water" level.

Icy cavern level where you jump onto falling stalagtites.

Peach's presents, at the party with the cake, include a box full of Propeller Suit Mushrooms, and a giant Yoshi's Egg...?

The cloud level with spinning blocks has the dome shaped hills sticking out of the clouds in the background. It looks like a "I will die because I am distracted by looking at the awesome art" kind of level.

I knew at E3 :P but at first I thought you really couldn't harm each other only help, weird how having the ability to be a douche to your friends is a bit of a selling point I know.
