/vr/ - Retro Games

I didn't like it at first because its mechanics are very different from the others. Controlling mario feels like driving an 18 wheeler. He takes some time to get speed, he needs more time to stop and you can't simply jump without thinking at a high speed and adjust it in the air to the point of returning to your starting place or go very high while bouncing on enemies unless you hit them while you're ascending. I liked how even the simplest jumps, fire coming from lava pits or a group of 3 koopas felt scary at first. I also enjoy the simplicity, it doesn't need to rely on gimmicks to be a good game, all you have is mushrooms, flowers and coins.

Plus he looks like a fucking boss.
