Use Peach. At least get through it once. Don't watch a video of it. It was one of the most satisfying accomplishments in gaming.

How does Champions Road measure up to The Perfect Run or 3d land's equivalent? I managed both of those

You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.

Probably harder than both tbh.

IIRC Perfect Run is a bit longer, but Champion's Road has some pretty hard sections to re-play every time you die, such as the one with the mind-breaking switch blocks in the first part.

Leakers went and ruined everything:

quote:

"After the leak of Mario & Luigi, done by an influencer, [Nintendo of America] flipped out and changed their review policy. Plenty of outlets and influencers are without [Fire Emblem Warriors] and [Super Mario Odyssey]... Apparently, it will be [sent out] in tiers, but [I'm] not sure how they are set up."

People who only started to review Nintendo games within the last two or so generations have had it easy. They never had to worry about getting a review copy locked inside a GBA locked inside a metal box with the key held by an NOA employee because someone uploaded their review copy of a GBA game to the internet. And that happened more than once.

not just to get the stamps, to unlock an entire world too

No? You can unlock and play all the levels even if you never switch characters. The only thing you get for replaying everywhere with everyone is some stamps and a star on your save file.

i've beaten both games 100% (well, 3d world i didn't get all the stamps but i got all stars and beat all levels)

i don't really remember anything about the final level in 3d land

champions road is one of the hardest official mario levels i can remember playing in my lifetime

It's just unfortunate that the certainty of leaks is one of the biggest reasons we've almost never gotten and likely will never get downloadable public demos of certain games, especially once a system is hacked to a certain threshold.

I know for a lot of people it would have been awesome if we had gotten a BOTW demo last fall to tide us over until release. But I knew if one had been released that would have made the wait even worse since people with the proper know-how would have no doubt dissected the demo for any sort of info about the final game. Which could range from simply music or models stashed away to...well the entire game world, albeit in an unfinished state.

Nope it's because demos hurt sales and Nintendo has nothing to gain by tidyng you over with anything

Blame leakers or whatever but why would any business conglomerate engage in practices that have been proven to have a detrimental effect on volume sold?

I actually found it easiest with Luigi. However I did do it first with peach so it probably was a biased result.

They went minimalist everything as a consequence of hardware limitations. Texture, music, dungeons, voice acting, probably everything was brilliantly reduced to a great game big still reduced nonetheless. Hard to say if they didn’t have ambitions they couldn’t meet or not but my guess it absolutely

It perfectly explains why shrines are so samey or many elements of traditional rpgs absent.

It was a Wii U game that got ported so lol ok sure.

The Switch has limits but all I can do reading this post is roll my eyes. See: Doom4 on Switch

what does this have to do with anything? it doesn't prove that scrubs is a good comedy show, it just argues that shows with laugh tracks (usually) are even worse than scrubs when it comes to being "funny"

It’s definitely harder. Those are easy in comparison.

The hardest official Mario levels are the highest difficulty DLC pack stages in New Super Mario Bros. 2. Some of them are absurd to beat without the white p wing.
