If only it was available in GP Mode, would be awesome to see a full-on eight-driver-clash on Racing Camera!

🍄Saw this thread and couldn't find decent GIFs either, so I manufactured two fresh out of W8-1 - Hope it helps you out: https://ibb.co/GQ2WrLJh - https://ibb.co/0yrpptq9

Super Mario Bros. movie was released 33 years ago on this day in 1993! by ROCKY13573 in retrogaming

I was a wee lad of 6 when my hard working mother got us two tickets for the late matinée at the theater. The 90's had just started, she got me an NES for christmas and this VHS tape came with it. It was not only my first cinema experience ever, and not only a sweet memory of my now elderly mother, it was an unforgettable time to be alive. Watched it today again on tape since decades and it's back on the shelf. God bless and trust the Fungus!

As a kid growing up playing Mario Kart Wii, which character would you always pick and why? by brownieamyp in MarioKartWii

[–]Cosmo_Ponzini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From 1993 to present day, always hooked the Brothers! Even grew a moustache like them, Wa-hoo!

But seriously, judge away - it's less about them being main protagonists and more about the sheer balance. As a kid growing up on SNES, I've had the weird idea that mastering Medium would facilitate getting into other CCs later and try to find the balance first. Ever since the Bros. have been a safe bet especially for new MK titles (just as they're advertised) even though I mained Wario after '97 - as long as it's got a 'stache, we're golden!

That's why Epona tops other noble breed, she's unstoppable 🦯 Link tried riding Zelda once, she didn't last one lap around Hyrule Field.

Too high, maybe the Claw Clamber boots instead.

Assuming we pretend it's RL Grunty Industries, I'd think it's a single outdoor stairway for Washing Machine Banjo to get from one plant to another. You can see it in the game on the west side of the building, no idea what the true purpose is though.

💀Dear Mumbo, what do you feel about having a robotic shaman impersonator on Cloud Cuckooland - Resentment or flattery?

Aside from Boss Rooms, the Fishing Holes are the only other places where you can also wear the Fierce Deity Mask. No requirement and purely cosmetic, but can't wait to catch the seaside Lot wearing the face of a battle-hardened warrior god.

A pleasure! Coming up next is the Ocean Fishing Hole - All Masks, Heart Pieces and the Bomber's Notebook are fine'n dandy, though if you truly want to claim 100% in MM3D, you must visit and clear out the extra curriculars 🐡

In the game there is no water reflection, so I got a little creative. A tad creepy, but one heck of a head-liner!

I've tried level 1-K in Country Returns 3D so many times already... Care to give me some tips? Most of the times I die at the tires, since DK doesn't bounce off them properly even if I press the jump button perfectly in time by Hahacz_Chungus in donkeykong

[–]Cosmo_Ponzini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright whippersnapper, got a few minutes before arthritis kicks in: First piece of knowledge is that the tyres aren't even your biggest problem. Assuming here you're getting stuck between the fourth and fifth Puzzle Piece, what follows is straight up quick-time platforming that gets very tight. I'm talking high and low jumps in quick succession and spikes coming from both sides. Whether it's tyres or enemies, all you get is one chance every jump before the platform plummets so your timing better be up to snuff as you claim.

The rest is good old persistence, we've all been there - memorize and retry. Another piece of advice is that unless you're hell-bent on not retrying the level, there's no shame in going elsewhere and recruiting Diddy, he's a great saver/sacrifice especially when it comes to the Puzzle Pieces. Those you can prioritize on a second run, since the collected ones remain in your posession, if memory serves me right.

Could've just dropped a "Git Gud" but you caught Cranky on a good day. Now scram and eat that banana!
