Not to be some sort of buzz kill or something, but I personally would like to get back on topic. I have many worries and emotions about Mario 128 that I need to get off my chest. Apparently, it's going to be based off of the demo that displayed the Gamecube's power. The demo with a ton of different Mario's randomly and stupidly jumping around and rolling eachother. That was ridiculous, albeit relatively humorous. I don't see the window for any kind of gameplay off of the demo, unless Nintendo plans to completely veer from the normal Mario formula, which may not be the smartest thing, basing this off of such games as Mario is Missing! and Mario's Time Machine, etc. The idea of what this game could possibly end up as keeps me up at night. It scares the bejeesus out of me.
The ideal Mario game for me would be a three dimensional remake of Super Mario World. In my opinion, SMW is the best game ever made. It would be extremely refreshing to play through the same old levels with a new twist. Or maybe just something to the same effect. For example, a co-op mode with Mario and Luigi playable simultaneously, or at least alternating. It would be especially cool if Mario and Luigi each had their own abilities, ala Super Mario Bros. 2 or Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World. It would be cool if the levels were more varied then they were in Super Mario Sunshine. I miss the cave and castle levels...*lip trembling, eyes watering* I don't know how much more of this I can take! Is asking for a Mario game that adequately simulates the Mario games of old in full 3-D? Or maybe go back to the 2-D roots. I just need something with a cave level, a castle level, and the old moving-platforms-in-the-sky level. *sigh* If only...
GWAH HA HA
