Dude, continuity and Mario don't mix.

Yes they do.  I personally liked how Peach's castle was re-used for later games, because why on earth would it change?  Remember how cool it was that you could drive from Royal Raceway in Mario Kart 64 over to the very same castle grounds from Super Mario 64?

And there's no reason they couldn't reference previous game events, then say "BUT BOWSER HAS A NEW PLAN."

Not sure what all this means, but it sounds like "Sorry, we didn't make the sensor good enough the first time, buy this"

I hope it's a lot like the highly underrated but extremely fun Kirby Superstar, only with...you know, awesome graphics and stuff.

Then they would better not use the Nightmare in Dreamland graphics again.

Sonic dislikes players who stop and think about what they are doing.

If you don't fight enemies, how are you going to level up?

They should come up with an alternative to that.  Like, how about a character who gains experience just for exploring?

Yes, in fact, one of the videos in the related section shows the actual PAL version of the game.  There are still slight differences; you can tell that the music is a little too fast and the sound effects are too slow.  Some companies didn't even bother to modify their games to play at the right speed on PAL systems, so players in regions with the PAL standard would get stuck with slow-mo.

Trading with yourself is an experience everybody needs to have. Making the music in both games just barely line up wrong so it sounds like you're in the Poké Space Center, mashing A on two handhelds at once... it's really magical. I don't think I've ever had a real trade, though. You know, like "Give me that one there, and you can have this egg." With other people it's always been "Okay, I need one of those in my Pokédex, and I need this to evolve... okay. Time to trade back."

I never got a chance to actually trade Pokemon when I had the original game, but when I played Red and Blue in an emulator, I would duplicate the save file so I could trade with myself to evolve certain Pokemon and nab exclusive/missable Pokemon.

And then I use cheats/glitches to perfect the Pokemons' genes and get any other unlockables you're not supposed to get on your own, because darned if I'm going to link up with more stuff and feed Nintendo's money machine just so I can have ONE HUNDRED PERCENT COMPLETION!

Well then it also depends on which ROM you use.  The PAL games are supposed to have their action sped up to compensate for the slower system.

If they gain voices and become annoying (imagine Big Mouth), then we can put them to rest.

But I like when they have annoying voices!

Why did they think Lakitu was an owl?

I liked how they had his cloud talking.  Although the cloud does look a lot more prominent than Lakitu himself in the original game.

Don't forget to watch the follow-ups!

You should be able to save in SMB3. Super Mario All-Stars let you save after every world. SMB3's not easy.

If you get Super Mario Advance 4, you can save even more than in the SNES version, and it's a little easier.
