Massively MariO RPG (Scrutable Geno Edition)

ok from a Is It Faithful/Correct standpoint i kinda dislike how this tune greatly softens the harsh/nasty vibe of the original, instead being more fun/hip. these are VILLAINS they are supposed to be VILLAINOUS

from a purely musical standpoint holy shit it goes so hard tho good job yoko

Can someone show me the 3d Culex fight? I wanna see but my casual youtube & twitter searching isn’t showing the results

spoiler though because new culex is the only thing im avoiding to get the element of surprise. i have looked up every single detail of every single event that i care about except for culex haha. im about 50/50 on excitement and disappointment now

you can still go too fast on a turn and spill the fuck out (and the sound effect is good)

mode 7 is obviously not present haha, but it seems like it controls exactly the same? (this is like the only game i get excited for the minecart in, i think its those WOOSH sounds when you use mushrooms and the theme)

I know y’all hate it, but I really love Nintendo’s minimalistic UI that this game and nearly every other Nintendo published game has had this entire Switch generation. Ties them all together into a unified clean look. It’s like if the western SNES box art template carried over inside into every game.

I’d love to see what the company UI guideline book must look like for this, because to be this consistent across so many games means it isn’t an accident.

i guess that makes sense for why it looks the way it does, i literally have not played a single switch exclusive yet

im down for classy minimal UI in general, but nowhere near as much as im down for garish parallax scrolling chunky fonts UI. they couldve sought a middle ground, is all

chalk me up as a minimalist UI hater for this project. this was not the canvas for that shit imo

also if it was really min it wouldn’t have that goofy combo meter

like when they analyzed the stomach contents on that neolithic ice mummy and discovered they had eaten bread made with like 30 types of wild grain. that’s the type of ui this kind of game needs

This reminded me that Dark Savior has a mine cart section. Maybe any mention of a mine cart is going to remind me of that game.

people talk about how it mixes three genres but they always leave out the fourth: minecart minigame

Now that I think about it, there’s quite a bit of overlap between these two games: they both came out in 1996, mashup genres from an isometric perspective, feature a minecart…the list goes on I’m very sure.

All recollection of Mario RPG was wiped out by the bouncy minigame. Beetle shooter? Shell bouncer? This is the only part of Mario RPG I can remember, and I can’t even remember that.

i kinda like the floaty island levels. it reminds me of mario galaxy so i was hoping they’d just make the backgrounds more detailed and like show different worlds and be WEIRD ABOUT IT but they’re being really super safe about everything (sometimes too safe you motherfucking level up screen)

still excited about tomorrow
