I'm so bad at Mario World now. The Super Mario Maker physics are hard to deprogram out of yourself.

I totally get what you mean man.
A lot of people clearly hold these games very dearly, but they're not exempt from criticism.
They really should have just made it a walk button, since you're almost never not running.
Bumping this question. My brother is going to buy today because I told him we could do this :O
Alternatively, I have the family plan, could I add him to my plan and we can play with each other?
So something handy from Reddit, Brawl Brothers has a cheat code that turns it into the Japanese version Rushing Beat!
Tested it myself and it works! Stuff like this is why need a OT for Snes online for tips and tricks

Man, I'm playing BoF for the first time and this is really an early SNES RPG. Tons of dead ends on the world map, random encounters that can happen as soon as you take three steps, and long passages in castles that lead to rooms with stoves and beds that make you THINK you can recover your HP.
I am enjoying it, though. At least, the grinding isn't too bad since you can just tap A through the battles.

Are people using the joy con buttons or the analogue stick? I know using the latter as I just can't get on with buttons Vs a conventional dpad. Thinking about stumping up for a hori dpad joy con but then I will lose rumble.
Don't think the rumble will matter for these games though, right?
"Overclocking" emulators without messing up game speed is super hard. Especially for consoles this old.
No, your right. What I meant was that if I wanted rumble when playing a regular switch game in handheld mode I would have to swap the joycons back over, which I know will annoy me quickly.
Haha, yep, that's true. You may want to look into a d-pad modded Joy-Con. I think it's the best solution, lets you retain rumble and the ability to play with detached Joy-Cons, and the clicky d-pad you'll get is so much better than the squishy Hori one.
Thanks for the reply. I might have to investigate how much effort this takes.
Lol your post reminds me of a screw attack top 10 video from over 10 years ago.
Yes, feels in some way odd.
I don't understand, pixel perfect actually uses less of the screen (both modes don't go fullscreen vertically, which is strange. I thought original resolution is 240p—> 3x = 720p)
I misspoke. I meant to say that pixel perfect wastes too much screen real estate due to its aspect ratio.
Rewind is your friend. Played 100% on the Super Nt and every tiny mistake hurt. Now it's pure fun clearing all levels cheating about mistakes ;)
I'd thought so too, but I looked it up and the resolution is actually 256x224 (for most games - there's a 512x448 mode that is occasionally used for menus and stuff). So if you triple the resolution you get 672p, which leaves a 48p gap.
Every time I play SMW, I'm always surprised at how much of the game is easily bypassed with a cape or with Yoshi.
Taking out the P-meter and replacing it with cape bouncing = reason number one that SMB3 is the better game, IMO.

"I'd be cool if you could nuke this underwater tube and go out lol"
tries it for funsies
This damn tube.
Dropped the game when it released because of it. I scanned every room. 2 times. It drove me crazy.
I finally managed to beat the game on Wii VC years later lol.

You had the gumption to try, I was stuck on that for a week when I was a lad.
Did not know this was a thing. Seems like it could be a game-changer for a minimal investment, I assume it's a pretty easy swap.
You don't have to use either though. It would be like complaining that you can skip almost the entirety of SMB3 by using Warp Whistles.
This isn't a fair comparison, though. If I were complaining that the Star Road shortcut to Bowser's Castle made the game trivial, that would be analogous to complaining about Warp Whistles in SMB3.
I'm talking about actual tools used for platforming. Those should never make the platforming in a game trivial, IMO.
The first game is much more primitive. Super is a fully fleshed out experience. That said, if you love Super, look into Metroid Zero Mission for GBA if you have a way to play that.
part of me wants to do a project and show all the easy 1-up things you can do in each Mario World castle
i swear everytime mario world gets brought up there's always a few people who never knew how easy it is to get to 99 lives

They were both items that removed the need to platform. I think the analogy was pretty apt; one just takes longer and is harder to exploit to the same extent. There are options to get around much of the platforming in both games.
Using the cape to skip most of a level is something that's pretty difficult to do and is more of a reward for experienced players. If it were a common problem or something that's easy to do, it probably would have been mentioned in reviews at the time.
Mario 3 had the P-Wing.
Kind of but... Not really? Super metroid added a ton of quality of life elements (...like a map, save rooms and actually having health on reloading), as well as much better map design. I've never personally made it through the original metroid.
The GBA games, zero mission and fusion , as well as the 3DS Samus returns are much closer to super metroid.
I don't agree that the analogy was apt for the reasons that I explained; one is a tool meant to facilitate warping past levels, the other is a tool meant to be used within the level as part of the actual platforming. Agree to disagree.
Cape bouncing is also not particularly hard to master, but we'll agree to disagree there as well.
As for the P-Wing, absolutely, that's a tool meant to help you skip a level, but they are limited in amount, much like the cloud, which also lets you skip a level as long as you beat the next level that you choose. Neither are a tool that are easy to get in most of the levels, unlike the cape.
Nothing's forcing you to use the cape to that extent though? This just seems like a non-issue, analogous to complaining that you can fly in the Kirby games. You can play both however you want.
NES Metroid is good but nowhere near the level of Super Metroid.
Your posts are increasingly off the point. My original point was that the game gives you a tool that makes the platforming in many actual levels trivial that's easy to get and easy to use in that way, and that one of the reasons that I think SMB3 is better is that it checks your flying (unless you're using a P-Wing) with the flying meter and forces to you deal with most of the good platforming that you have to do.
You made a comparison to warping which doesn't hold IMO and then pointed out the P-Wing without noting that those are rare in comparison to the amounts of capes (or blue Koopa shells when you're on Yoshi, for that matter, though at least that is time-limited like the leaf in SMB3 is), and now you're saying that it's a "non-issue" because "nothing's forcing you to use the cape," which, no offense, is irrelevant entirely when talking about the function of the power-ups and how they were designed to be used within the levels. The point that I made is that I don't think tools used for actual platforming should make the platforming trivial as often as SMW does. You may disagree that it matters to judging how good a game is, and that's fine, but I don't agree with you there and I doubt either of us are changing the other's mind.
And the comparison to Kirby is a bit strange since that's not exactly a challenging platforming series in most of its incarnations; it's focused more on puzzles and exploration, typically. Anyway, I don't really see a cogent comparison or analogy anywhere in your posts to support your point, so yeah, let's just agree to disagree.
That's strange. Btw you don't have to tap down twice very quickly to activate it, make sure she crouches and then press down again.
Not at all. You've just taken an extremely narrow viewpoint that I'm illustrating hardly matters in a slightly broader context. You can subvert the challenge in both games easily enough if one is so inclined, though I disagree using the cape in that way is as easy or obvious as you seem to think. But even if it were, it doesn't take much restraint to avoid abusing it.
My point was it's a game that similarly provides a different toolset to moderate difficulty at the user's discretion. If you prefer we stick to Mario, NSMBW had an option in which it plays the game for you. 3D Land would give you a power-up that made you invincible for the level's duration. Are those not essentially the same "problem"?
It's not a matter of caring, it's a matter of fact. If you don't like playing a game a certain way, then perhaps you shouldn't play it in that way?

I had someone else do mine since I've read there are some tricky bits to it (small ribbon cable and springs IIRC), but yes, totally worth it!
Thanks!, that's a shame but luckily i do have my NDS so GBA games shouldn't be hard to get, although hopefully Nintendo adds them to NSO one day,
