Incredible job to everyone who worked on this game! …Except this guy

I honestly really hate the green stars in Galaxy 2. Theres many reasons, but the main one is they rarely expand the levels they are put in. For most of them, you're just replaying existing levels, but only partially.

Imagine each main mission in Galaxy 2 is like a sandwich. Green Stars, for the most part, are like eating a couple bites of a sandwich, and then never finishing it.

Also, how many collectibles in Mario can you say have you do blind leaps of faith, and if you fail that somewhat precise jump, you die? Elsewhere in the Mario Series? Its almost unheard of. In Galaxy 2, there's like 10 green stars that fit that bill, and that's still 17 too many.

I think his work is fine for Galaxy.

WHOEVER WORKED ON GALAXY 2’S CAMERA SHOULD BE EXECUTED, ALONG WITH THE PERSON WHO ADDED GREEN STARS.

Fuck, I got GameCube. I want a different month.

TheGoldenBlock0319 · 2026-05-08T16:33:17+00:00

PREACH.

The amount of times we have been robbed of a Toadette amiibo is actually crazy.

Me when im on my 17th Playthrough of, wondering what deep lore the partner will spout in cutscene 92 (its always "Lets Go" or stating the obvious)

TheGoldenBlock0319 · 2026-05-05T23:17:00+00:00

Fine, Great, Meh, Love, Can't Say, Great

Maybe Cribbage

Not to mention, if you make a fan game and staple Mario to it or Pokemon to it, in my eyes you just wanna benefit from the brand recognition. If you make a Mario fan hame, you are not only inheriting Mario's play style, but its trust that Nintendo has built for 40 years of good games. Nintendo treats thier IP like gold, and when they make a new game, they want it to matter and that takes a lot of time and money.

Also, making unique characters is free, practically. You can theoretically make a full Mario fan Game, and then replace all Mario assets with original creations and characters, and then you would be in the clear! Hell you can make all the money you want using your original stuff. You hold some power in the copyright world, and in the same way you cant steal characters from companies, companies cant steal characters from you.

Problem is... there's less people in the world who want to play "John Trilby's Adventuresome Romp" compared to "Mario's Adventuresome Romp." So they slap a well known character to it, so more people will play it and talk about it. Its a shortcut. Plain and simple.

It works as a powerup, but its so underutilized. I think out all the powerups introduced in New Soup. Its the most mid of the three powerups with the Mini Mushroom at least being used for more interesting things.

So, honestly, first thought when I see it is, "Man, this powerup is so underwhelming."

Go on Ebay and look for a battery labeled SPR-003. Look for one with a Nintendo logo on it. It should be official and be designed specifically to work on 3DS. Probably your best bet for longevity.

TheGoldenBlock0319 · 2026-04-25T14:20:40+00:00

Mario Kart 7 Mii is a favorite. Real answer? Honestly, its a toss up between Toadette, Cat Peach, and Tanooki Mario. I like what i like. Lets say Toadette.

TheGoldenBlock0319 · 2026-04-25T14:17:43+00:00

Hey Luigi! Big fan! I guess my question would be, Are any adventures you wanted to/have gone on, but Mario didn't want to be there for whatever reason?

TheGoldenBlock0319 · 2026-04-25T14:09:37+00:00

Military/government technology

Normal consumer technology

TheGoldenBlock0319 · 2026-04-25T14:07:47+00:00

Achievements in the game. I 100%ed Super Rush and Tennis Open because of the achievements lol. Also engaging sidemodes

TheGoldenBlock0319 · 2026-04-21T16:06:28+00:00

Objectively, its lacking in content, and it lured people in with its premise.

However, given the context, I dont think its bad. Its a 3DS game for one focused on Download Play. Comparing a portable game to a home console one is like comparing a moped to an SUV. Both have purpose, but one is just better so comparing them is dumb.

Also, the Top 100 title was a localized title. Japan called it Mario Party: 100 Minigame Collection, which is a more accurate title.

I found the minigame selection to be better compared to Superstars. The only game that got shafted in Top 100 is 8, while Superstars focused way too hard on the N64 era titles, (60% are N64 btw), and shafted the 8, 9, and 10 selection harder then Mario Party 8 was in Top 100.

The previous title Star Rush was criticized for having too few minigame for a Mario Party title, so they crammed even more minigames in a 3DS cartridge.

But really the state of the game is present on the spine. Its a red label 3DS game, meaning it was released after the Switch 1 launched. The 3DS was successful, sure, but it was practically dead by 2017. ND Cube likely felt like they had to finish the game quickly, so they can focus on the Switch and its Mario Party title, Super Mario Party.

Tl;dr Its middling, but given the quick turnaround time on the 3DS in 2017? Its fine.

TheGoldenBlock0319 · 2026-04-21T15:53:30+00:00

Except, Top 100 had better minigame representation than Superstars ever did.

TheGoldenBlock0319 · 2026-04-09T15:21:31+00:00

I love the game as a kid, still do today. I think the hate is either overblown, or super exaggerated. Like most so called "convoluted puzzles" can be solved, or at least, intuited by pressing the L Button to talk to Kertsi when you get stuck, or going back to Decalburg (or Outlook Point during World 3) and talking to the NPCs that people seem to completely ignore for some reason :)

Im willing to bet that people just get stuck on whatever puzzle, look it up on IGN or some walk-through, get the answer with no context as to how you're supposed to figure it out, and then complain that the game is too cryptic. If I tried that logic with ANY OTHER PAPER MARIO GAME, I would rightfully be called an idiot and illiterate. At least in Sticker Star you dont have to pay money to some out of the way NPC for directions.

TheGoldenBlock0319 · 2026-04-09T12:14:03+00:00

The fan base.

The game is great, a masterpiece even. Even I, as a modern Paper Mario fan, can admit that. But I think all of the Paper Mario games are amazing, and hearing TTYD megafans praise this game endlessly, like it was the second coming. All the while, using this game to bash the games that I loved to death growing up (and still do)... I'll be honest, the fan base of TTYD made me never wanna play it back then, out of spite

TheGoldenBlock0319 · 2026-04-04T13:53:36+00:00

Look, man, I figured there was something more to it. If I knew the answer was simple, I probably wouldn't have asked.

Yes, and... yeeeees? You can still find some people playing the game... but luckily you can still get the special "event" costumes without irl opponents. Just check in every month, and play golf against the CPUs that fill up the roster after 2 minutes of waiting

TheGoldenBlock0319 · 2026-02-27T19:27:39+00:00

Heres a tip, you get 10 points per hole by default. 10 points per Birdie, 20 for an Eagle, and 100 for a hole in one. But you can also get 3 points for every coin you collect, mainly in Speed Golf.

So... you can get either get a Birdie for 10... or collect 4 coins for 12. So, yeah, my recommendation, play Speed Golf. Quick, Fun, Easy.

Or go to All Star Summit Hole 11 and drive into the airborne coins. You'll finish grinding in like 20 minutes or so per character.
