NSMBW is at least SMB6 (NSMBDS being SMB5). If you count both SMB2s separately, it's SMB7. If you count SML1 and 2, it's SMB9. If you then feel obligated to count SML3, and thereby also WL2, 3, 4, and SI, it's SMB14, or 16 if you also count WMOD and VBWL. If you count YI because it's SMW2, and then also count YIDS and YS (which was originally going to be called YI64), then it's SMB17 or 19. If you figure that if you're going to include YS, you should also include its semi-sequel YTT/YUG, and also figure that if you're going to go all the way to including YS, it's only polite to also include DKC 1-3, DKL 1-3, DKJB, and SPP, it's SMB26 or 28. Anyone who understood this post wins a muffin.

Where's my muffin?

There's other gameplay stuff I'd like to mention, but they're in the later worlds so I'd want you to be like "oh hey haha that's legit" rather than being like "oh.... yeah... this is the thing Trainman was talking about....... surprise surprise...."

I'll be driving to Pennsylvania to collect my muffin shortly - but what about YT&G?

CrossEyed7 · « **Reply #453 on:** November 21, 2009, 01:38:50 AM »

Yeah, you could throw that in too, I guess. I'll mail you guys the muffins.

Also, don't forget MB (SMB0) and DK (SMB-1), and their respective sequels. Including the G&W ones (DK, DKJ, DK3, DKC, DKH, MB, and SMB, off the top of my head). And WC (and WC98 and the Japanese cell phone version) probably goes in there somewhere too.

Sooo.... I beat the game the day it came out (haven't got all the star coins, etc. yet) and I was screwing around in World 5. Well, I went to this particular level and kept dying because I felt like trying to see if I could fly through the level and throw some tech in there... ya know, be flashy, I guess. I guess I didn't keep count (could've sworn I was at 5 deaths) and I saw the Super Guide block appear. When I saw it I was thinking "aahhhh crap" and moved my right hand like 15 feet away from the jump button because I didn't wanna even mistakenly hit the thing.

So.... is my whole save screwed now? I mean, I doubt Nintendo would blacklist you from the "5 profile stars prestige" game save select screen just because you were screwing around and died a few too many times after beating the game. Gamewinners.com indicates that one of the profile stars is: "Never unlock the Super Guide block." I'm hoping that "unlock" means "unlocking [by activating the Super Guide block]."

I think so, I'm afraid. Myself, I used two continues earlier in the game...

Anyway, I beat it the other evening with my brother. Good stuff, all in all, though it's definitely more of a sequel to NSMB than anything else.

Also, I think the thing in the game that made me the happiest was the return of the Fuzzies.

My university actually has the game set up in the commons. I think I'll go play some since I can't actually afford it right now.

Just like how Paper Mario isn't officially "Super Mario RPG 2" anymore, despite it ONCE being called it, doesn't mean it is Super Mario RPG 2.

The same thing goes for Super Mario World.

Except it is and always has been called that in Japan. Besides, if NSMBW can be considered a numbered SMB despite not being given a number in its actual name, so can SMW and NSMBDS.

According to one GameSpot thread, revealing the Super Guide block doesn't prevent you from earning the fifth file star, although said star won't be sparkly. But besides, unlocking the Super Guide after completing the game perfectly will still make your stars lose their lustre, meaning it doesn't really matter anyway. In regards to SB's concern, I've yet to hear anything about the use of Continues disqualifying one from attaining all five stars.

I have yet to activate the Super Guide. This is because I've probably died only five times over the course of the game (I'm still in world 6 somewhere).

I don't get it, Super Guide was made because the game was "harder than Contra" and personally, I find this game easier than NSMBDS!

hydrakiller4000 · « **Reply #461 on:** November 22, 2009, 01:37:34 AM »

I can't wait to get this game!

Does anyone else think Ludwig sounds like the bullies from The Simpsons?

Yeah, I remember making a comment about Nelson Muntz when he showed up.

I've never played Contra and I think NSMB was easier, but I still see what you're saying there.

I've decided I'm just going to stop complaining about Mario games (well, most main Nintendo franchises in general, I suppose) being too easy because I think that's just become the norm at this point.

Turtlekid1 · « **Reply #464 on:** November 22, 2009, 06:20:49 PM »

I'd rather have games that are too easy than games that are too hard. I don't play games to put myself through Hell.
