Even though U actually isn't that bad I'm still mad as shit that these abominations helped gut paper Mario. I'd rather the series had just silently died like Wario.

>>381547365
DS and Luigi are actually the only two good ones.

I liked NSMB2. The coin gimmick was very satisfying. I remember most of the hate toward it started before it even came out because people were pretending one NSMB side-series game per console = Mario is COD now.

They got slightly better as the series went on, admittedly. I think of them all, NSMB2 had the most going for it (return of Super Leaf, goal of making cash felt fun, Koopalings are back, lots of secret levels...). But the rest are trash. It took me years to finally be bored enough to beat NSMBWii and NSMBU. Never even bothered with Luigi U. The only friends of mine who play these games consistently and 100% them are all extremely casual gamers, who I guess are the intended audience for these games.

Just sucks they had to muck up the core Mario games as well, including the 3D Land/World titles. The "New Mario" aesthetic was awesome at first, but now it's just bland. It's almost clinical and deliberate in a way, like it's designed to maximize nostalgia while bleaching away any of the personality.

It was good once. Not a thousand times.

>>381547860

>>381548596

I actually loved the hell out of 3D World. I just wish they took more liberties with it instead of keeping an aesthetic that was pretty close to the "New" look.

And NSMB was trash. It lacked any depth or content beyond barebones Mario. It wasn't even challenging. Playing that game felt like a chore -- I didn't feel rewarded for beating it at all. I couldn't even play all of the worlds in a regular playthrough. It was trash.

And it's already showing it's identical. At very least they reskinned the enemies, though they're still using the exact same attack patterns. Still find all the puzzle pieces, collect the bananas before time runs out in a single bonus room, no other playable kongs, Rambi only, final destination.

>>381549205

>>381549205
I like the well varied enemies, how it introduced 3D mechanics into the 2D games (wall kicks, groundpound, etc.), the Blue Shell, Mega Mushroom & Mini Mush and the bosses were neat and not just the Koopalings repeated. I don't dislike the newer games but they didn't really evolve the gameplay enough for me to think it was a great step forward, NSMBU almost did it but it wasn't enough for me. The little twirl move in NSMBW and onward was a nice addition though to the series.

>>381549320
If you beat Tropical Freeze you would know you could play as the Kong separately as a reward, but of course someone's like you probably couldn't even beat Tropical freeze

>>381549320
>no other playable kongs
Wrong.

>>381547365
they arr rook same

Why are people treating NSLU as a separate game when it's just an expansion.

>>381549484
Why should they be a reward for after you've already 100% the game and there's no reason to play it any more?

>>381549567
Because it was also sold separately as a game probably and it's basically a whole new game with how it has every level replaced in the original NSMBU with a new one that incorporates Luigi's play style.

>>381549320
This is why no one likes Sonygro.

Literally this.

Super Mario Bros U is the best 2D Mario game since Mario World on the SNES. Yet another unappreciated Wii U gem.

>>381549750
I guess it's been a while but I recall the level design being relatively new, I could be wrong though.

NSMBU > NSMBWii > NSMB >>>>> NSMB2

>>381549753
Yup. It's fucking superb.

>>381547365
>NSMBU ( Because of the solo challenges + The four player co-op being fun )
>NSMBWii ( Because of modding! )
>NSMB ( The versus mode was a whole lot of fun if you could find a friend to play it with )
>NSMB2 ( The coin collecting minigame isn't fun and it never got a GOTY edition to prepackage the DLC )
>NSLU ( Its just the post-game worlds from NSMBU prepackaged into its own game to try to earn more money )

>>381549753
I literally used a warp pipe to skip two worlds and get to the end faster. Coming off all the other SMB games, NSMBU is by far the most derivative and boring game in the franchise and I had to force myself to at least finish it.

>>381549395
Sqeak Squad pretty much does nothing new. Canvas Curse was different but it was more a spin-off than a classic Kirby game platformer. Robobot was pretty much the same as Triple Deluxe except with the mech gimmick. It hardly adds more to the game than any new powerup that the NSMB games add to the series.

Also, as far as Nintendo/HAL is concerned, there is no real difference between home console and handheld games. So it's only been 1 year since the last Kirby game. And even if you want to treat them separately, it's been 6 years since the last NSMB.

If I remember right it was released as an expansion first before the physical version came out and was a limited release only for the year of luigi.
Also it features the exact same levels.

>>381550130
So to sum up your post
>it does nothing new because these don't count!

>>381549736
But you already 200% the game since it's pretty much just Returns on the Wii U with nothing new.

>>381550130
>Robobot was pretty much the same as Triple Deluxe except with the mech gimmick. It hardly adds more to the game than any new powerup that the NSMB games add to the series.
I disagree entirely on that, the mech isn't just some power-up. You can take control of it and gain a whole new playstyle and it can also gain it's own copy abilities with different movesets. You also have some mechanics like spinning the bolt for bosses & at the end of the game you play it Star Fox-style kind of which is new. If you're going to say something is like the new power-ups in the NSMB series mention the normal copy abilities because that's exactly what those are like. There were also side-games on the thing for a 3D Kirby & Kirby Clash which were expanded upon later sure but they were introduced there first.

>>381550291
Canvas Curse does count and I'd like to see more games like that and Mass Attack. But the platformers are just the same shit over and over.

>>381549976
>prepackaged into its own game
It was always an expansion anon. The physical version is solely a collectable.

Flip that image upside down then ignore anything not on the Wii U.

>>381550139
Why can't they just record new voices and sound effects?

Also, do they actually think people like Toad? Everybody hated him even 30 years ago, and that was back when he was mute

Which brings us back to >>381550291
You can't just ignore all of the new mechanics and try and pass off your flawed argument.
With that said they're sequels anon of course they're going to feature similar gameplay.

>>381547365
They're all solid games but they're incredibly lazy. They've got decent level design and the music is alright despite the BAH BAH. The issue is that they released within a relatively short timespan of each other (at least the last three did) so people felt like they were just playing the same game 3 times.

>>381550452
Nice image, can I save it? I can't wait to make people angry with it

>>381550378
By that logic it's pointless to play DCK2 and DCK3 since it's the original with nothing new I guess.

>avoid SML
woah

>>381550130
Actually I should add to here >>381550401 that beyond the gameplay each game actually does have a different plot going on in the series. They may not be deep but they are definitely something different each time with antagonists having different goals, backstories & etc. They also are somewhat connected between each game with foreshadowing (such as Star Dream being referenced in Return to Dream Land).

>>381550543
NSMB adds "new" stuff with each series too. It doesn't stop them from being incredibly samey too. They're not outright bad games but if you've played one, you've played them all.

>>381550649
It's the worst Mario game, only the soundtrack and Daisy make it worth while.

>>381550795
>With that said they're sequels anon of course they're going to feature similar gameplay.
By the sound of things you want some kind of mechanic or rehaul that would change the game from top to bottom.

>>381550452
Put Super Mario Land & New Super Mario Bros. DS in Optional. You can say they're weaker than other titles all you want but they are not something to avoid, just don't go out of your way to play it.

just because it isn't as good or long as other Mayros doesn't mean it's in "avoid" tier.

>>381551404
Not them, but here's the thing, you can have the other Kongs accompany you which can change DK's playstyle (you gain a Ducktales-esque Pogo Cane with Cranky for example).

>>381551404
As opposed to a crocodile moving left to right or a bee flying up and down?

>>381551601
So they're power ups, not playable characters.

>>381549753
I've played it and I struggled to finish. It's a slightly better NSMBW but barely feels like is new game instead of a full HD expansion pack.

>>381550894
If the games had amazing level design or difficulty to make up for the lack of originality then it wouldn't be so bad. Tropical Freeze didn't do a whole lot new but it made up for it in other aspects. Kirby games don't have that.

>>381551708
Before completing the game, yes basically, but that falls under "New moves" in those lists which is still new. It's pretty fucking fun to blast through levels with Cranky by the way, it takes a lot of skill to pull off perfectly but it's so quick & rewarding to pull off.

>>381551708
You can still play them separately from the start if you have two players, so they're both power ups and characters

>>381551708
They're playable by the second player.

>>381551404

>>381552045
>Except for the widly different artstylw
The artstyle is generally the same, it's just in HD. I think you might mean level themeing which they do a little better in NSMBU compared to the others. I like that outside haunted Boo level with the painted background for example and there's that night Ice level with the spinning star platform mechanics, that was neat.

>new powrups, baby yoshis
Acorn suit is very boring and it's the only new powerup. Just feels like a nerfed Propeller. Baby Yoshis are more hassle than they are worth most of the time.

>interconnected world map like World instead of like SMB3
Just the standard dull world themes of NSMB glued together. The attempt at a food theme was half assed. Don't remember anything particular interesting being done with the idea. They could have just seperated them again and it would make no difference.

>and all the levels being completely different.
Nothing really memorable though. I 100% the main game in a week and no level comes to mind. All the levels in NSMB2 are different too but it doesn't make the game less dull. I forgot about challenges and they are alright but hardly make up for the dull main game.

Didn't play Luigi.

Despite my rankings, DS and U are the only ones worth playing because U makes Wii obsolete. They're basically the same experience but U is better. DS is different enough from U to make it worth playing. 2 is just bad. It's actually just a shitty game. It's the only time I've ever dropped a Mario game. The fact that it has zero new content makes it worse.
NSMBDS's multiplayer is fun as shit by the way.

>>381550180
>>381557428
I'm aware of this, I was just pointing out how that might be a reason as to why some people see it as a separate game even if it's not.

I played them all except the coin game because I really like platformers and theyre all exactly the same. I don't remember which is which except that the DS one had the mega mushroom.

Theyre pretty fun games I guess but severely lacking in originality and if youve played one youve basically played them all.
