This is Donut Plains in Super Mario Kart

This is Mario Circuit in Super Mario Kart which is literally SMW Donut Plains.

...HOW DID THEY FUCK UP SO BADLY?

the exact moment the game ruins itself permanently

> food analogy

>>9817752
It's not really an analogy. Japs simply love naming things after food and vegetables for some reason, specially in media made for children

Donut Plains in Mario's Tennis

>>9817760
So it's confirmed that the team that made Super Mario Kart didn't play Super Mario World despite most of the tracks being based on Mario World stages.

>>9817751
Outdated meme

>>9817774
Was something even more glaring acknowledged recently?

>donut plains
>hills everywhere
sloppy job, Miyamoto-san

>>9817776
Some anon actually examined level per level and out of 72 levels, 17 are the ones that actually let you fly through the stage. And anyway a lot of SMW's ethos is finding secrets and stuff, you need to explore the levels. Some reward you by exploring the sky, but many others are about exploring the ground, the majority.

>>9817863
Poor understanding of geology, anon-chan.
You also think planet Earth is composed of only earth? I bet so.

>>9817883
Not sure how implied "ethos" factors in in game design though; it would be an interesting sociological experiment to design a really difficult hardcore platforming game for example, but then populate it with ubiquitous powerups that basically defuse all that challenge (like an invincibility item for example), with absolutely no effect on the game by whether you used them or not. Or better yet, requiring actual skill to avoid grabbing such items altogether.

>>9817746
Well?

>>9818085
There's a lake in the middle.

>>9818093
But there's no actual donuts, and I'm hungry

>>9817751
I find it peculiar how autistic haters can just keep saying the same dumb shit over and over again even when it gets deboonked right in front of them a million times. It's such a dishonest, self-loathing, time-wasting behavior

Watch any blind playthrough and you will see that no one can just breeze through the game because of this item and that no normal person will memorize or put in the work to get it every time he loses it, or let alone knows exactly how to use it properly and in which level

>>9817746
Okay but your gay

>>9817898
Kirby games give you infinite flight but are still designed like a normal platformer with ground based hazards and even pits. The original is cake but the sequels can get a bit tougher especially Dreamland 2 where you have to keep certain powerups to find hidden areas. It's not as extreme as invincibility but being able to fly like that sounds like it should be more effective than it is in practice.

>>9818127
Don't get defensive anon, it's not really cheating if the developers are dumb enough to make it built-in

>>9817884
I bet you think doughnut is spelled donut.

i aint seen no donut

>>9818185
But it IS spelled Donut.
Doughnut is some Anglo-amerishart psyop abomination.

>>9818187
You have it backwards my friend. The doughnut is a based American creation ordained by God. It was later shortened to donut as a joke to make other countries spell it wrong on purpose LOL

>>9818187
Donut is what you do by yourself at 3am while browsing porn and crying, doughnut is a delicious treat.

>>9818247
I never cry when I browse porn, quite the opposite, I'm very happy

>>9818230
>>9818247
>created by Dutch settlers in America
>they call it themselves and spell it DONUT
As I said, Anglo-amerishart psyop. Better luck next time and lose weight, shartboys.

I'm more of a nacho dip and hentai person myself

>>9817746
I love the peach sky. So comfy.

dinosaurs are more fun than monarchy

>>9817748
>>9817750
I'm sorry you had a bad time.
I'm sorry this causes you pain.
I'm sorry it keeps you up at night.
I wish I could have been there for you.
I wish I could have been that friend you needed during your early development.
I'm so sorry you turned out this way.

>>9817883
that's been deboonked
it's actually 23 full levels
9 where you can skip most of it (or all of it but it's kinda though)
and 6 partial levels

>>9818741
And none of that matters because
>And anyway a lot of SMW's ethos is finding secrets and stuff, you need to explore the levels. Some reward you by exploring the sky, but many others are about exploring the ground, the majority.
And also your criteria is moving goalposts. 17 are the levels that you can actually "Fly through the entire level", which is what most people always say about the cape. "Partial" is a goal move.
And ANYWAY, all this "omg cape breaks the game" talk has always been falseflag shit by people who don't even like Mario games to begin with, same as SMB3 vs SMW threads.

>>9817751
The super leaf is super lame. It baffled me as a kid that the feather was only used in one game when it is the most fun powerup ever.

>>9818185
>>9818187

>>9817746
Great level design, nintendo

>>9819362
I liked the part where the jump man jumps

>>9818876
i mean its basically 30 levels where you dont do any platforming whatsoever, you might land, run again and flight over the rest of the level, you do skip all of it even if it isnt in one go, if that's cope to you then so be it i'm just giving a more nuanced answer if someone wants to know the real situation

>>9817760
>that super awkwardly shrunken down "Princess" that obviously said "Peach" originally

>>9819437
But if you get hit once your lose your ability to fly. Not only that, but staying in the air with the cape requires skill in itself.

>>9817746

There's something so comfy about that sky colour

Super Mario World is so comfy in general

>>9817863
It's that towards the middle of the ring that makes up the place there are some mounds, just like donuts are more elevated the farther it is from the edges of the ring

>>9819314
This. Wow, I get to mash the jump button to fly slow as fuck and get nothing out of it. The cape at least has utility and is fun to use, there are some really cool hidden secrets to find in a few levels with it, and it doesn't actually break the game like people think it does when like 75% of levels have shit blocking you from just flying over the entire thing

>>9817751
It's overpowered, honestly.

>>9817751
Smb3 has much worse with the P Wing

>>9818741
Nobody is a boring enough person to go out of their way to skip a level by flying, when it's more fun to play it.
Flying with the cape is more about learning how to do it than anything. Once you figure it out the novelty wears off.

SMW is a toy meant for children to play with. Why can’t the 28 year olds at Troons Done Quick understand this

>>9817748
I literally opened this thread to post this. It was instantly the first thing I thought of. Good stuff, anon.

Only for autistic faggots like you who can't cope with having the option to not use the cape.

George legitimately had a Virtual Boy.

Updated my boom boom fight And it's now using one of the default patterns that came with the custom sprite itself
