As someone who really enjoyed Superstar Saga, I admit I passed over the sequels due to reasons (mainly financial), so I am looking forward to this LP. I will also support the notion that dear sweet Jesus Christ do the tutorials (at least in Superstar Saga) get stretched out and become annoying. It hurts the replayability of these games because you have to go through those tutorials all over again. As for this game....goddamn, Toadsworth, you are a dick. Someone remind me, why does Peach keep him around again?

Okay, I get the Toadsworth stuff is supposed to be funny, but dear lord was that part annoying and unnecessary.  I mean, Toadsworth had his overprotective attitude of Peach in Superstar Saga, but it was limited to a few quick scenes (15 seconds tops, IIRC), not long drawn out ones like here that interrupted the gameplay.

Man, I'm also bummed about the hammers being character locked. They were a fun part about Superstar Saga and rather nicely integrated into gameplay, with each brother getting to do fun hammer stuff. Here, they are integrated mostly the same way, but...it feels like Baby Mario is the one who gets the most use out of the hammer in a non-battle scenario. Kind of a letdown. As others have said, the localization is...a thing. All I can add to the Possessed Hammer Bros. localization is

One thing that seems to be removed for this game are the "Incorrect Mario Brother Animations" that Superstar Saga had. Like, with the water spout thing, if you tried that with Luigi, he'd just barf up the water. Although, I will say I like that they slightly improved it here; you get to not only see how many water shots you have, but you can also control how much you load up. It's a nice improvement to a returning mechanic. Also, I will miss your Hector avatar, ChaosArgate.

Off the top of my head, the only nods to Partners in Time in Brawl were the aforementioned song, and a couple of stickers such as Mario and Luigi with their baby versions (i.e., one adult + one baby), Stuffwell and Shroobs. Don't recall if there are any trophies based on stuff from this game, though.

Is there a reason you're avoiding Defense for the level up bonuses?

Eh, when I went through Superstar Saga, I dropped a few points in Defense mostly as insurance in case I royally hosed up something since my dodge timings are not the best either. Also, it'd count as a bonus not spent on Stache, so I could get better roulette options for Stache on a future level up.

Jobbo_Fett posted:When you can open up with Copyflower, Trampoliners or any other item that gives you tons of hits, I hardly see defense as being all that important if I can just beef up whatever stat either: Boosts my item's attack power, boosts MY attack power, increases luck to hit harder. But yeah, the Bros Items in this game are crazy, with Trampoliners and Copy Flowers just being "Press character button to overkill opponent" items.

Man, this update made me look back on Super Mario World and Super Mario RPG, where Star Hill was a nice bonus world and a decent filler area (and somewhat connected to the plot, too) respectively. Here? I'm with you guys, this version of Star Hill was just dull. And to cap it off, we have a mid-boss with inflated health because....that counts as more challenging to the American market, I guess?  What the hell, Nintendo?

That...was awful. Not just by filler standards, but just plain overall awful from a narrative point. We are about, what, 70% through the game? And now is when we get this "Can we work as a team" kind of dilemmas that brings the plot to a screeching halt. UGH. I just hope the story decides to stop spinning in place and actually get on with the plot now.

Wow. A side-scrolling shoot-em-up mini game....just so you can advance 5 more feet into the level. If there's anything this LP has shown, it has shown just why this entry in the M&L series is the boring black sheep of the family. I'd heard how lackluster this game was, but I didn't think it would be this bad.

I never knew it was possible to make the last leg before the final boss into a tedious, annoying chore. But this game managed to do it.

Yeah...I do not think I could tolerate a 30+ minute Thanks for everything, Chaos.
