New Super Mario Bros - Tumblr Posts
Nope, not giving that idiot a platform.
I just woke up from a nap, and man do I wish my dream was real. It was about a new entry in the New Super Mario Bros. series, but there were some things about it that deviated from the formula:
You could play as Peach or Bowser Jr. in addition to the mainstays. If you played as Peach in single-player mode, you had to rescue Mario. Bowser Jr. was an "easy-ish" sort of character. He could randomly obtain power-ups from defeating bad guys, but otherwise, he played just like the normal characters.
The Super Bell from Super Mario 3D World was there, as well as a Poison Mushroom power-up. You could also stack two power-ups and use both of their effects at the same time.
There was a World 4 mid-game "boss fight" against Bowser, but it was more like a platforming level where you just have to hit him a few times at the end. Think "The Great Tower of Bowser Land" from Super Mario 3D World. There was also a mid-level shift from 2D to 3D movement. Temperature was a major mechanic; you took damage if you landed on a platform that was too hot, with water periodically cooling them down.
Iggy Koopa's mid-boss fight in World 6 (yes, World 6 and not World 5) was downright chaotic in the best way possible. It was the only level to utilize full 3D movement the whole time. Iggy would circle the boss arena in a mine cart on a wooden track, laughing maniacally, and you'd have to chase him down to hit him. After the first hit, parts of the track would periodically become electrified so you couldn't just linger there and wait for him. If the timer ran down to 100 seconds or you landed the second hit, the arena (minus the cart track) would give way to a huge pit of lava. Some kind of huge lava monster resided in this pit and would follow you, trying to grab you.
That's as far as I got before I woke up. There would certainly need to be some changes to make all this into a viable game, but hey, not bad for a dream.
new stream archive!
Always bet on Luigi.
As someone who’s first Mario game was New Super Mario 2, I have a love hate relationship with this thing
are there any cool obscure skeletons?
aforementioned SPINE COASTER
Today’s prompt was “dead memes” and after a bit of thought I figured I’d try drawing Bowsette! I’ve only ever drawn her once so I decided to see how far I’ve gone; I gave her a bit of chub and some red hair, and tbh she looks great with both—
🍄It's time for another adventure🍄
