Author Topic: "Super Mario 128": Speculation...  (Read 12392 times)

« on: December 08, 2003, 08:36:28 AM »
Hey, people...
As long as Miyamoto does not want to share his "little" secret yet, how's about we do a bit of speculation for the next Super Mario platformer on the Nintendo GameCube?

Here's some things we would like to discuss about Mario's next adventure:
-The final title of the game.
-What type of story would occur?
-What sort of problem would be going on?
-Who's the enemy, is it Bowser, or someone else - old or new enemies?
-Does the princess get kidnapped as always?
-Will Luigi go adventuring with Mario again?
-Will we see some old characters in this game, or weird brand new characters will appear?
-Will the levels be gigantic?
-What type of graphics?
-Would the characters change physical or fashional appearance?
-Will there be new personalities on our beloved characters?
-How difficult can this game be?
-Will there be extra features?
-Will there be more puzzles?
-Will the storyline be acceptable by all audiences? Better yet, will the storyline offer more surprises and solve certain Mario mysteries we always wanted to know?
-AND most importantly, as Mr. Miyamoto promised us, will this be the best Super Mario game ever? With all new-freshness and Mario himself going to be more mature?

Okay, gang, let's speculate!!

...and in no point in the future will he ever be abandonded by me!
I will even drawn the best Super Mario comics ever to exist!!

I think that it will be very similar to SM64, in the way the levels are set up. I believe you will collect things like stars, but maybe they won't be stars. As for the story, I think their won't be much of any, like all Mario games. It'll basically be: Bowser kidnapped Peach. Save her. She is in the hardest to get to room, and will require you to collect special items that have the ability to unlock new levels.

128?  Please, that is just a number.  The GameCube is 64.  I know you said graphics, and 128 would be very sharp, but SMB3, SMW, M&L:SS, and SM64 are four of my all time fav games and they are no way near 128.  I don't care that much about graphics anyway.  I want the unbeatable game play that Shiggy puts in all his Mario games (Mario Party games aside).  Oh, and some funny stuff like in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.  That is the best GBA game ever.  Well so far anyway.  I think Super Mario 128 or whatever it is finally called will very likely be the best home console game ever.

Shigeru Miyamoto on Mario 128: "I believe that with this game you'll be able to feel the 'newness' that was missing from Mario Sunshine." - date unknown

"As for Mario Sunshine, it would be very easy to take the Sunshine engine and create a sequel to that but really right now what we're focussing on is what really is fun, and how can we take that and find a way to make it accessible to a much broader audience."

Ah! Here's something I've missed to put in the list:
-What sort of music will we expect Nintendo to put in this game?

More mature?

I like the wackiness of Mario games.

More of Koji Kondo's classic steel drum jazz, I would hope, and expect.

How about they make it a 2D strategy game where you control an army of 128 Marios? That would be fun!

("o0o") My metroid thinks you are stupid. People who
...v...v disagree with metroids often get sucked dry.

Nintendo reserved the 100marios.com address so the game might have something to do with controlling an army of Marios to complete missions (just like Pikmin).  The same mechanic will appear soon in the next instalment of Donkey Kong for GBA  (was it Donkey Kong Plus?)

I heard 100 Marios was a test game for the engine of Pikmin.

I wish I were sun at dusk. ... ... ... ... ......ha ha kidding.
That was a joke.

Y'know what?

I always imagine a new Mario move, inspired by how Mario defeats Bowser in Super Mario 64, where Mario gets to grab his ennemy, a Koopa Troopa most likely, spin around and hurl it towards more ennemies for more 'kills'. Kinda like trying to get all your bowling pins down...
