What does the different colored pipes do, as shown at around 16:00 in the video? They have different kind of arrows on them.
The arrows represent the spawn rate for items/enemies coming out of the Pipe (and the final arrow creates a warp point to the sub area). Blue is slowest and Red is fastest.
Seems like you can have a persistent group of players online and just go from level to level. Do you have to tag your level as a multiplayer level for it to be played that way, or is it a free-for-all?
Did they?, I only saw box throwing for the 3D world mode? I'm talking about something like the e-reader levels in SMB3 Gba which were a fun hybrid of smb2 and 3.
- Pipes come in smaller sizes and can be diagonal
- This is incorrect as far as we know. This is just what the ground looks like in SMB3 Forest, which is emulating Pipe Maze from SMB3. Which is the answer to Andre's question about what theme it is.
- New sound effects
- Luigi's SMW sprite is the All Stars version.
- NSMBU underground now has waterfalls. NSMBU airship mushroom platforms now have a mechanical look.
- NSMBU underground actually always had those waterfalls. They just made the water more opaque and blue this time. It looks like they've increased the saturation/contrast on a lot of backgrounds.
- Spin jump in 3DW
- ! symbol when block contains an item is now in the bottom right corner instead of center. In multiplayer a ? block can be hit multiple times and multiple mushrooms come out
- In multiplayer you just respawn. No bubbles.
- There are a couple of scenes where boo rings move towards Mario without being on a track.
- There's a cartoon robot floating in space in the background of the course world menu.
- The fishbones on the fishbones t-shirt is animated.
But it is only a mii and they are still the same sterile characters. That is the only complain I have with SMM2.
I thought they'd got rid of them and they are a relic of the past
That's a better way of putting it, yeah. This is the sort of sequel jump that transcends mere generational differences.
As for the potential second extra style...what would the various games do?
For instance, for a SMB2 style:
-Throwable vegetables/enemies/ground things
-Different enemies: Birdo, shy guys, etc
-Stop watch
-Secret potion room potential?
-Digging and quicksand?
Would be my guesses. Maybe new health mechanics, maybe new character stats (but probably not).
What about for other styles though? SML, SMG...even Odyssey could be brought to 2D as a style.
I'm sure it isn't Land or Land 2. Those are too similar to the regular game styles to really be "extra". SMB2 is the most likely imo, but I guess if they go a bit crazy we could see SM64 or SMO.
No, I imagine not. I expect for the 3D>2D stuff they'd mostly add things to Mario (hat stuff, midair kicks, outfits/transformations, etc etc), although I can imagine an interpretation of Galaxy getting crazy with what they'd add to the actual level design side of things.
Read what I wrote. Those aren't pipes. That's the ground of SMB3's Forest theme. In other styles they turn into regular ground:There are small and diagonal pipes in this screenshot.
The sloped ones are just sloped terrain.
Sorry, which other service sets a minimum purchase of $100 for their discounts to apply?
Had a thought & know it's early talk but the Next game in the series should clearly be
Super Mario Maker 3D
Mario 64
Sunshine
Galaxy 1
Galaxy 2
Odyssey
So it feels fresh & different leaving SMM2 as the final 2D Mario package, anything missing 2D wise from SMM2 currently should be dlc.
Then move onto a 3D Mario Games Maker in 4-5 yrs possibly with a new more powerful Switch by then.

We can make space levels with night + antigravity, this means I can make SML2 Moon level OMG 10/10
They aren't in the 3D World theme:
Airship and Castle themes take place at night by default in this theme.
I am glad there's a story mode because the editor looks so overwhelming that I probably won't bother a lot to make.
Also I want a 2D "3D World" game so bad.

Still so good... Totaka should score another Mario.
LOL You already get a discount (cashback) on all digital games via gold coins so there is no €100 minimum. They have eshop sales as well continuously if you haven't noticed?
Its only a €100 minimum here because you are able to use it on games that you know, cost €60 on launch.
Lol such a weird issue you seem to have over a completely optional discount. Bizarre
so, i'm not sure i got it right. do you need NSO just for uploading and sharing the levels you've made? can someone download other people's levels without NSO?
I'm pretty sure there was, the clip where they're all bouncing around in the start box.
I don't think so, I'm pretty sure all and any online interactions requires a sub.
Looks like they couldn't convert the 3D World style into sprites the way they did with NSMBU. Would explain why it's incompatible with the other styles.
Story mode looks like it could be quite involved. Would be awesome!

bummer. i'm subbed but it would have been nice for people without NSO to at least have a way of downloading some levels. maybe just access to the popular courses tab or something.
Actually I think it's the other way around. They didn't want to make new 3D Models and animations for things 3D World didn't have so they decided to just make it unique.
Some things are weird, like trampoline mushrooms being exclusive when they'd be really easy to make sprites for. The NSMB games had them.
No, you're simply moving the goalposts. You said that PS Plus does the same thing as this. But they don't.
No one said they offered a $100 minimum purchase on every single discounted item, only on this specific offer. Yes, you can use it on games that cost $60 at launch. Although many of the titles are older and have already been discounted for less than $50, and most people do not make $50 games purchases in pairs.
As for PS Plus discounts versus the eShop sales, I rather wish Nintendo would offer that degree of discount, where a major exclusive title like Horizon can be discounted to around $10 with all of its DLC included. Have they done anything like that with Zelda? I believe PSN had God of War for $35 recently. The degree of discount offered in PSN sales isn't remotely comparable to Nintendo's discounts, which I rightly described as meager.
As for my "bizarre" issue with this, I simply made an off-handed remark that it's funny Nintendo seems to think this is some fantastic discount and that it's a comment on how poor their discounts are compared to other platforms. I find it much more bizarre that so many people feel the need to pile in to defend Nintendo's honor on the issue of pricing because of a short comment made in passing during a quick-moving thread on a livestream
I dont see how could be counterproductive, maybe only that NSMBU would be less popular.
Thats a point, they could easily include at least co-op not vs mode, and yes, bubble thing and screen zoom could easily work also like it works in New Super Luigi U that also has fast levels.
If game really supports 4 co-op local multiplayer, than it's totally different thing.
Co-op in smaller and slow paced courses would work but I don't know how could the game differentiate which levels are fast and not, maybe story mode has co-op? We'll see.
There are multiple clips with 3D World multiplayer, such as:
On an unrelated note, I managed to find clean versions of the screenshots from the Japanese ad, so here's a cleaner look at the NSMBU Night Castle (which... doesn't really look castle-like anymore)

Really seams like they dropped the ball on the night backgrounds.
Thwimps would be cool.
That's not really 'announcement' material. I could easily believe that Nintendo thought it wasn't something that needed stating... but I could easily also believe that it's something Nintendo didn't consider.
Nice! Glad to be wrong on this one :P
It's still weird that this might support full on online multiplayer over local multiplayer. This feels like something very Un-Nintendo to do.
I mean, it's local builder vs. versus and co-op level runs. Feels like it would have been the other way around a few years ago.
Also, you have no idea how glad I am the game is sub-3GB. Means I never even have to consider deleting it to make room for other things.
Man no clear pipes in every theme makes me so sad. Ever since I saw this romhack level i hoped we could recreate something like it with the clear pipes.

I think "mad lad" was the more insane word used in the Direct.
Nope, and the Mystery Mushroom is seemingly replaced by the Big Mushroom.
