SOLID GOLD MARIO
Dec. 29th, 2012 09:11 pmNew Super Mario Bros. 2 feels like an extension of the other New Super Mario Bros games. I suspect the game designers just had too many ideas to fit into one game, so they've divided it into discrete concepts--Penguin and Propeller Hat for the Wii one, absurd amount of coin-related shit for the DS one.
Not that I'm complaining. I could play New Super Mario Bros. forever. Especially when I get to be Solid Gold Mario. Hot damn, that's a good time.
It also lends credence to my longstanding theory that Bowser does not differentiate Princess-Kidnapping from games like tennis and racing, and nobody's been able to explain to him that it's all good fun till somebody loses a limb.* Why else would he do this every week, except that he has a fine old time designing obstacle courses and watching Mario & Co. battle their way through them? He probably sits with the Princess and some cheese dip, and they holler at the screen like two rabid sportsfans watching the Super Bowl. It would certainly explain a lot.
*Come to think of it, he'd probably still think THAT was pretty good fun.
