^^ actually i do that too....but i am still in world 2 cause i am studying for my history test tomorrow

i was on youtube looking at a review of this game a fellow user did, and he gave a rather convincing reason that the game box is red.

"there is a reason that this box is red. it's stained with the blood of nintendo's enemies."

so funny >D

I am mildly disapointed in the "boss battles." They are all cake walks. The levels themselves are pretty fun though. Nothing I would consider hard, but a couple spots I died for being too reckless which is a refreshing change of pace from the last few Mario games. Still haven't played worlds 6-8 enough to make a final call on that one. The game is clearly a tribute to every 2D Mario that came before it, and I love it to death for that. Penguin Mario for the win!

Finding that third Star Coin was a total b**** though. Good times nonetheless.

 I <3 Penguin Mario. He's my second favorite power-up next to Frog Mario.

 Nah, Star Coins are half the fun. They encourage you to explore every nook and cranny, and do things you wouldn't bother to do otherwise.

Penguin Mario > all! Unbelieers shall be burned at the stake.

Are you calling me an unbelieer?

Oh, and I missed your last post. I agree that it would have been nicer if they'd been more robust, but I give them points for making each fight unique (so far: I've only downed Rol, Rubang, and myself).

Sorry, The best all time mario suit is Tuniki Suite. Nothing else compares. End of Story.

Does the Tanooki Suit let you hop around on land like an awkward 2-year old with Tourette's? No? Then you are wrong sir!

If you do not understand the glory that is Penguin Mario then you are an unbeliever who shall be punished with eternal fire. If only you had seen the proper path. Then you cold use the holy Ice Balls of Doom to save yourself.

My problem with the boss battles is that they aren't really that unique. At least not in my opinion. You just jump on their heads three times before they get a chance to use their special attack. I suppose I could let them stand up before smashing them back down, and look to see how they would attack me. All the same I'd rather crush them as quickly as possible to laugh at them as they try to spin into me.

@Raistline
We have plenty of stakes for everyone. Worry not. Your souls shall be cleansed.

Pish Posh and poppycock. When the End Times near, I shall simply hop over them in a wildly-ungraceful-and-totally-hilarious manner only to lose my suit to the next goomba because moving on land is HARD. I can dodge fires all day. By contrast, your precious Ice Balls barely bounce once before they melt: they ain't gonna last.

The means of beating them is the same, but I'm referring to their castle fights, where they each have different moves. Roy was my favorite so far, although Iggy's was pretty amusing as well.

Plus, they have an awesome nod towards Yoshi's Island before each of those fights. I love this game...
