Don't be sorry. I knew what you meant, the 2nd fight is easier for a lot of them.

Well, I just beat the main game (World 8 essentially) and I have to say, the game has one of the best ending credits ever. Wish I had other players to exploit it with.

Now its off to play all the extra stuff.

Yeah, the ending credits are great. At first I didn't think you could do anything then I happened to shake the wiimote and Mario spun. So I thought you could just spin them around, then I realized you could move around and hit the names. I was like sweet! lol

Just beat world 7-Castle. First time I was bribed with the Green Box of casualness. Turned it down and finally beat it.

One more world.

I like how BJr. doesn't have a wand. That is cool.

just beat the game, to my siblings, your fights were awesome. but dads was just plain epic. he clearly saved the best music for himself

edit: why would i need a wand, i have clown car

About the dancing goombas and turtles, they are messing me up. Over twenty years of being used to the goomba and turtle timing and as I fall in from the sky, precisely aimed to connect with their heads as they pass under, they do a little jig and throws off my timing so slightly that I end up landing right in front of them (and they attack me!). I see the dancing turtles and goombas as something more than *cute* but as their most sinister attack yet. A dancing turtle is a bigger threat to me than the Hammer Brothers are. The Hammer Brothers don’t dance and do not throw off my timing!

Although this addition fires up other possibilities. What if in Super Mario Brothers 6 you come to the first goomba but the goomba, in an evil stroke, decides to jump at you?! I’d be “WTF”, and laughing because the Goomba scared the hell out of me by doing something very non-Goomba like.

A goomba that tries to jump on you would actually be kind of cool

Just 30 days to come.... why am I crying blood?.. can't wait.. can't wait.. I'm devouring every 2d mario but I can't anymore
Question: How is it the nunchuck gameplay and... does the free play mode count the points you collected and enemies you killed like in e3

Yeah but they would have to give him some kind of device to help him jump. Maybe a wind-up boot? And if you knock him out you could jump in the boot itself! That could be so awesome. I guess it would just be too hard to implement.

I play sideways Wiimote, never tried with the nunchuk
