Why does this feel like some weird unofficial knock-off Mario game?

>> No.5693950

Because it is, the Metroid team already had trouble making platforming non slippery with the original Metroid, well, this game is what Metroid would be like before the mazes.

it isn't the worst game i've ever played but it's probably the worst 2d mario

i liked it ! and it was impressive and a first for the gameboy ! the 2nd one while "prettier" isnt as playable ! games needs to "renew" themselves and adapt to their medium sometimes ! this one did well !

this entire is thread so fucking stupid it hurts

R&D1 is notably famed for making "out of the ordinary" Nintendo titles, hence why Super Mario Land 1&2 and Wario Land feels unorthodox to the Mario series.

Because it was developed by based Gunpei.

>> No.5694324

Because you're a zoomer who wasn't around at the time and your conception of Mario comes through the lens of nuMario shit like 3D Land and Mario Galaxy.

>> No.5694328

>>5693878
Because it is. Gunpei Yokoi wanted to make something unto itself, not simply remake SMB1 as a Game Boy game. So it takes concepts and ideas from SMB1 and reinterprets them in Yokoi's vision, essentially making it Yokoi's own Super Mario game without Miyamoto's input.

Early Gameboy games have a screen for screen equivalency to NES games that makes the sprites much smaller in pixels and I always assumed necessitated different physics while later Gameboy games have a sprite for sprite equivalency that makes the screen feel "zoomed in" but allows for more familiar physics.

I understand that it was made by a different name, but it was still made by Nintendo. Why did they have to change the names of the enemies, change Peach to Daisy, change fireballs to superballs, change the setting from the mushroom kingdom to sarasaland, etc? It makes it feel like some weird bootleg game. Couldn't they just use the same enemies and powerups and settings as previous games? Goombas in this game aren't even called Goombas. It's so bizarre.

God, this. It feels like it fell down through a god damn wormhole.
A lot of shit feels different for the sake of being different.

I still wish it didn't do that dumb bullshit where if you ran off a cliff instead of jumping, you immediately fell at top speed.
It's my only major complaint about the way the game handles.

I kinda wish it had more than 4 worlds too. Yeah, it's a portable game, but I still found it a bit too short.

It's just a /v/ user having another little fit. "No true Scotsman" and all that shit. Just ignore it, it won't go away, but at least you won't stress about it as much.

That pretty much explains every other change. They were expanding the Mario universe, he was in a strange new land, just like how the portable GameBoy was a strange new world for Mario platformers.
