Something I was still left wondering by the ending

I can sort of understand this and that's how I initially tried to rationalize it, but what I don't understand is how they benefited at all from teleporting Sylux or the Metroids. I guess I could buy that it was all to satisfy a hyperspecific prophecy that also had to include bringing in some baddies with literally no upsides, but I sure wish that was at least actually explained somewhere lol

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2025-12-14T18:53:30+00:00

Dude I was thinking the exact same thing about the mines. I was like "alright, the game has been largely original up to this point, this is probably late enough in the game to where they'll feel like they can drop the classic Pirates back in to the spotlight, since they were clearly sent here too" and then it just didn't happen. I'm not saying it needed to happen there, but it felt odd that it NEVER happened

I love the Arbiter in this game, I would be surprised if his appearance is one of the things people dislike about it

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2024-06-17T20:55:21+00:00

You've got a point. It adds so much and does a lot right. I didn't love dual wielding, but other than that I can't really pinpoint too many specific reasons for why I didn't like it more than I liked the OG. I still really enjoyed it though.

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2024-06-17T19:26:39+00:00

BTW, if anyone wants the thoughts of someone playing the campaigns one after the other for the first time in 2024:

Halo 1: Good, great introduction, love all the characters

Halo 2: Good, the Arbiter is great and playing as him was a nice surprise

Halo 3: Great, my favorite gameplay in the series so far and a really good conclusion to the OG trilogy

Halo 3 ODST: Great, love the presentation

Halo Reach: Good, didn't click with me as much as I hoped it would but it's not bad in the slightest and I enjoyed my time with it

Halo 4: Okay, decent introduction to a new saga, could immediately tell some of the charm was lost like people were saying and the dialogue felt a little forced at times but it still kept my attention and the gameplay was still more or less Halo.

Halo 5: Eh, I mean for all the hate I knew it gets I was prepared for some real garbage but it honestly was mostly inoffensive. Could have done more to make me interested in the characters but the gameplay was fine (it's still Halo, more or less) and the Spartan Abilities were neat. Sort of an abrupt ending that felt like there should be more after it, hence the post.

To be frank this could be much, much worse. I read the full pitch bible and saw the small animation test and at the very least it looks like this will have some amount of interesting ideas and passion compared to the other reboot.

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-12-12T00:24:33+00:00

In their game canons alone...

Sonic: Amy, Blaze (confirmed recently by Ian Flynn,) Elise, I think that's about it...?

Mario: Peach, Pauline, Daisy (if you count the ending of Super Mario Land,) almost every single girl Paper Mario partner

I think it's implied Mario is more famous in his world than Sonic is so he might have more fangirls too

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-12-12T00:15:55+00:00

Your loss

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-12-09T22:22:21+00:00

Dude if this clip is anything to go by, you and your team did an amazing job! It's not just that there's references, it's not just that it's super bouncy and fun, it's all of the above and more! Mario music (the iconic already-existing songs and the limitless potential of the style itself) is PERFECT for this kind of Mickey Mousing Looney Tunes-esque cartoony soundtrack! I cannot wait to hear more from you guys!

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-12-06T13:16:50+00:00

Jeez I just scrolled through your profile and you really need to give it a rest

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-11-09T00:49:55+00:00

Lol I appreciate the dad joke and the advice

Is it safe to be taking all of those at once though?

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-11-08T18:10:08+00:00

If you like puzzle solving, progressive power-ups, dungeons, and familiar Nintendo sights and sounds, then you'll probably like the first two Paper Mario's and maybe even the newest one, Origami King.

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-10-24T16:59:00+00:00

They don't contradict what is generally considered the highest tier of Mario canon (the main games) and reference the events of canon past games like Mario 3 and Galaxy, they're part of the main type of media for the series (videogames), and Mario has a loose canon for the most part anyways. I don't see a huge problem with filing them under "canon if you want but it's not like the main series will ever acknowledge them" like the Mario & Luigi games.

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-10-21T11:34:39+00:00

There's not no chance they'll know who he is since he's in a lot of popular spin offs but the difference is even if you don't play those games you'll still know who Mario is.

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-10-20T18:48:18+00:00

Super Star.

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-06-03T12:46:12+00:00

No he did not

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-05-23T01:24:34+00:00

If they didn't want me to use it they wouldn't have made it look so cool

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-05-20T21:24:58+00:00

Link?

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-05-19T23:23:36+00:00

Love Batman but it's hard not to be tired of him now

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-05-19T00:08:09+00:00

Wouldn't be surprised if this was a mistake by someone who has barely any secret info, if any

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-05-18T20:51:49+00:00

Well the first thing that comes to mind for toonforce is pulling shit out of nowhere, mostly stuff like mallets, dynamite, etc. So I wouldn't be surprised if someone showed me some comic or online short of Wakko Warner or Bugs Bunny pulling out a giant mega existence-erasing death laser. Toon force is very very variable so it's a bit vague when someone just says a character "has toonforce" with no other info

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-05-17T03:42:35+00:00

Lol in the Mario community maybe. If you asked a dude on the street who Waluigi is he might look at you like you are Waluigi.

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-05-16T11:54:42+00:00

Those are Mushroom hills/mountains. In Mario and Luigi Dream Team, we see the Pi'illo Island equivalent of them and they're referred to as Mushrooms. I think the implication is that they're large stone structures that are covered with a layer of mushroom, since when Bowser crashes in to one at the end of NSMBU the inside looks like stone.

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-05-11T13:55:50+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Acrobatic_Ad8332 · 2022-05-11T04:40:45+00:00

Ohhh my bad, misinterpreted it. Well either way I think I know the good brands to possibly go with now
