In worlds of whimsy and pixelated dreams,
Where heroes rise amidst a realm unseen,
There lies a tale of boots that dance and play,
In Mario's realm, where wonders hold their sway.

The Kuribo Boots, a treasure unforeseen,
Adorning Mario's feet, a sight serene,
Made from the wood of Goomba's fallen kin,
They grant him powers to defy, to win.

Oh, Kuribo Boots, with soles of wooden might,
You carry Mario through each perilous plight,
With every step, the ground beneath does quake,
As foes cower, their fears begin to wake.

In Mushroom Kingdom's lush and vibrant lands,
The boots provide the means for wondrous stands,
Mario, leaping high and soaring free,
A gallant hero, bold as can be.

Through deserts scorching with relentless heat,
Or icy realms where frozen tempests meet,
Kuribo Boots, like wings of steadfast grace,
Guide Mario onward in his grand embrace.

But in the shadows, darkness seeks its chance,
To cast its veil, to dampen life's expanse,
Yet Kuribo Boots, unbowed by sorrow's plight,
Still bear their strength, igniting hope's pure light.

In every jump, a leap of daring heart,
A symbol of resilience, a vibrant art,
For even in the darkest realms we face,
The Kuribo Boots grant courage, leave a trace.

And so we marvel at this simple shoe,
Its legacy enduring, steadfast, true,
A testament to games that capture hearts,
A testament to the joy each quest imparts.

Oh, Kuribo Boots, forever may you stride,
Across the pixels, worlds spread far and wide,
A cherished memory, a source of glee,
In Mario's realm, your spirit runs so free.

Idk, but wasn't it basically a prototype Yoshi, just to see if the concept worked?

Bowsers castle.

>>9987387
Wasn't this power up in one stage? Mario 3 was so ahead of everything else and still remains the best Mario game ever made.

>>9987603
It probably was planned for more but got cut. Mario 3 as good as it is could have had even more.

Ukraine

>>9987603
It's not even close lol

>>9987603
they wanted Yoshi but couldn't make it work so they threw this in as a fun thing

>>9987387
On water, or hehe, at the bottom of the occean, heh. I love the Kuribo Boot.

>>9987387
>Where else would you use it?
right up your ass, nerd

>>9987387
There should have been one hidden in Bowser's castle, like super hard to find, almost mythic levels of "no way that's true" where you need like a hammer bros suit and do some weird ass trick to access it, but once you have it you can kill Bowser in 1 hit for bragging rights.

>If I had a boot I’d boot all around town
>id boot the homeless out of San Francisco and I’d boot the marxists down
>I’d boot the hand that feeds me in a first foot rage
>these boots were made for walkin, specifically Christopher walken
>boots out for harambe

World 7 would've been perfect for it.

Wish we got a few levels with the Kuribo Boot.

It’s Kuribos SHOE, god damn it. Not boot. It even says so in the fucking game.
Holy fuck I hate you people sometimes.

>>9991052
Sorry :(

Please forgive me.

Lego

>>9991209
Ah, Lego.

>>9991052
Anon? Are you still alive my dude?

>>9987603
Wasn't it also a treasure in one of Toad's Houses? Or one of Peach's letters?

>>9993820
no.

>>9993853
Okay.

>>9987412
Based.

Nowhere, the whole reason people remember Kuribos Shoe in the first place is because how its limited to one place.

Here's this idea that could had been stretched out across the entire game, yet it sits isolated in this one level, never to be used again.

At first, its baffling. Then, you take into the context of Super Mario Bros 3s entire stage design; Every level is unique and serves up a new idea or twist, and no idea is re-used. You COULD theoretically put Kuribos shoe in another level, but that in itself would ruin its novelty - This is a game built around constantly surprising the player; re-using an idea would simply be giving up on the designers end.

Kuribos Shoe is a macrocosm of Super Mario Bros 3s entire design philosophy.

And yes, SMB3 is better than (your favorite game), thank you for asking.

>but that in itself would ruin its novelty
Maybe if you're a total retard who can't creatively come up with a new way to use the same gimmick. The best games build upon previous levels without just out-right copying them. It can be done.

>shits over everything you just said

>>9994823
Sonic 2 is the better platformer. Otherwise nice post.

>>9991209
Looks like the thing in Paper Jam

>>9994823
Love playersguides like these.
Thank you kindly, anon.

>>9991209
Goomba's Shoe?? WTF

>>9994823
doesn't it have like three shitty maze levels? why were they okay re-using that idea but not kuribo's shoe? they re-used the "tedious slow autoscroller stage" idea a lot too.

>>9994879
Sonic is some sick mockery of the genre where they tell you to go fast in levels designed to prevent you from doing so at every turn.

>>9987387
Is there a hack where you can have this in any level and selectable before levels?

Downside is, it'd just be a yet another GDQ donation incentive.
