Why are Mario/Nintendo platformers so praised?

I picked up Super Mario 3D World for wiiU today and played it. All the levels last 2 minutes and they're easy, what the fuck? I don't even know where to start with this.
>>
I dare you to say that about Champions Road.
>>
>>324289937
>Why are Mario/Nintendo platformers so praised?
You mean as opposed to other platformers, or when compared to games in general?

Maybe platformers just aren't your kind of game.
>>
>>324290208
>post-endgame shit
next you tell me Kirby is hard because of True Arena
>>
Play 64 and Sunshine. Far better than their newer stuff.
And I hope you just mean 3D platformers, because if you haven't played 2D and/or think they're bad you might be underage.
>>
>>324290378
It's a game meant for families anon, my mother and little brother really enjoy the game. If you want challenge go for the bonus levels and green stars.
>Co-oping 3-3
Just don't.
>>
Why is Mario so fucking whitewash lately?

The platformers, the RPG's and all that just revolves around generic Mario-ish shit.

Is Shiggy going senile?
>>
>>324289937
the first worlds are tutorial levels and quite easy.

Almost a third of the content is postgame and quite challenging, the last game has champions road, which is the hardest Mario level ever, expect to lose over a hundred times there if you try to beat it with Mario and no power ups.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV8iKNtSVwc

maingame is like 6/10 in difficulty

postgame 8/10

and crown world 10/10
>>
>>324290378
This.
While Champion Road was nice, it was literally the only level where you had to make an effort to beat.
Wish they made harder Mario games. They say Wool Yoshi is hard but i really doubt that.

Mario is Kids Bop of videogames

>>324290658
>It's a game meant for families anon
this is why OP should just stop playing 3D Mario games pass Galaxy and just play the romhacks.

they aren't going to go full Kaizo on the levels anytime if they are going to leave a hand to casuals/"newblood" all the freaking time
>>
3D world is fucking pathetic and unambitious. Considering how amazing the Galaxy games were, it's insulting how the developers decided to make a sequel to the 3DS Game of all things.
>>
>>324290329
I like platformers, I just don't understand the gameplay value of something so easy and quick. It's over before you know it.

is not representative of Mario platformers. Go play 1-3, world, land 1-4 and NSMBDS/NSMB wii when you've exhausted those.

Mario 64 and Galaxy are god tier platformers however.

I still think they never had a 3D Mario in development, maybe it was pushed to the NX by now.
It feels more like it was supposed to be a sequel on the 3DS.

I mean, consider how in the beginning Bowser holds the bottled fairy towards the player/camera.
>>
>>324289937
>SM3DW

game is meant to be played as a comp platformer with 4 of your buddies. If you want a hard nintendo platformer on the WiiU you should have gotten Tropical freeze

Are you trying to say that that was included to show off 3D or something?

He's just showing the players, mainly the younger ones that he just kidnapped the fairy and that she's not cool with it.
They're just showing that he's the bad guy.

Yes

I was disappointed with SM3DW, mainly because of the lack of any challenge (except for Champions Road)

But luckily Retro Studios didn't fail to deliver

>not just enjoying the creativity of the level design and obstacles

Game was fun as fuck. It had a lot of fun ideas that were executed very well.

I love 64 because it gives you a bunch of movements, so you can actually do something in those endless empty spaces all 3d mario have, which also gives some replayability.

>>324289937
Game has a really slow difficulty curve but it actually gets harder. You must realize Nintendo makes games for everyone, not just for the long time fans but also for the newcomers.
Plus, unfortunately, many people complained with Nintendo about Galaxy games' difficulty. So they decided to tone it down in 3D Land and World. But yeah, the last 3D World levels are very challenging anyway, created exactly for long time fans.
>>

>>324290835
>nintendo fanboys think this level is hard
compared to the rest of the game yes but having played the game I'd describe the difficulty as more like

>crown world 6/10
>>
>>324296284
>implying you don't mean Banjo Kazooie
>>
>>324296163
I dunno about toning down difficult so much as they made the 3D Land/Worlds games so you never have to worry about controlling the camera, which of course makes the game easier to play.
>>
>>324289937
Get some friends
>>
The later levels in 3D world are just about the same difficulty as anything in 64, Sunshine, or Galaxy. I don't see what the problem is.
>>
>>324290835
>that massive frame drop at the three Kammies
wew
>>
Because mario can literally run so fast, he reaches parallel universes. That's pretty neat.

3D world is a comfy game

Having said that, there are only like 2 or 3 hard levels in this game

You can open vWii mode and download SM64 from the internets.
Also, there's Nintendont, which lets you play GC games on WiiU.

3DW is better than 3DL. That's it though. 3DL is pretty much trash. But it's trash with a lot of levels, god damn.

Still better than Sunshine. Fuck that game.

I bet you're playing alone you fucking retard. You're the kind of guy that buys Mario Party and plays against the CPUs and complain it's boring that you have no one else to play with.
>>
3DW was a letdown for me, but I still enjoyed it, I guess. I was really hoping for a Galaxy 3, and instead I got the stupid isometric camera, short level, multiplayer game. Seriously, did the camera screw anyone else up? I had a hard time nailing jumps because I couldn't tell exactly where Mario would land. And I've 100%-ed every Mario platformer. And the final boss was terrible... you didn't even have to fight him Mario-a-mano.

Champion's Road won back some points, but still... we deserved a "real" Mario game.

I'm sorry I'm not 10 years old anymore like you, just because a game has pretty colors n lots of zany sounds doesn't make it good. Maybe if you had a girlfriend you wouldn't spend so much time defending a game made for infants on an a Chinese cartoon forum

SM3DW is harder the more people you have playing it. If you beat everything on 1 player, congrats, you beat the easiest mode. Try completing the game 100% with 4 people, and I guarantee you will no longer think the game is "too easy".

Comes from some Omega Level Autists explaining how to glitch SM64 so you get a start with only pressing A not once but half-pressing it (this is another term he explains)

It involves running backwards into a wall for 25 hours

Because Mario games are for kids. They released Sunshine, game that was harder than 64 and everybody shat on the game. So they will keep re-releasing Mario 64 and Mario Land over and over.

Funnily you are right. But the metroid analogy is retarded.
Why not use the the thing he said about 3d world and 3d land, that people dont want 3d games like mario 64 and sunshine and everything should be 2d so he made sure that newer marios will be dumbed down 2.5d with a useless 3rd axis that dosent add much to the gameplay.

Galaxy 1 is arguably as if not harder for some segments.
Sunshine is THE hardest if you do a no Jetpack/Rocket run.
Exception being any jump you have to use the Rocket for.
Cause you know those Fludd-less sections? Now the whole game feels like that.
