Has anyone else picked this up? It was released in Australia/NZ today, and I got my copy after work. I've played through World 1 with my sister and again with my father, and once through by myself. It's a lot of fun. The level design is different but still fun, there are enough original elements to keep it the same concept but enough new ones to make it interesting. Multiplayer especially brings a whole new concept of cooperation, or alternatively, competition, into the normal levels.

It's fantastic!

It doesn't come out until Sunday in the US. But I plan on getting it. :D

I've been wondering, how does the multiplayer mode work? Does everyone have to remain in the screen? Or does the camera move at a fixed rate or something?

I have this at Christmas. My mom buys this. Would buy this one quickly but I'm going to buy DS and I need still some more money.

Please feed my Pokémon and warm my eggs.
Thanks for everyone who have clicked these, you've helped me a lot :)

Anyone has Club Nintendo codes that you don't need? I want those.
If you have one code for me I can trade you my Explorers of Sky code as I can't put it because I have registered already one. (Registered my brother's game and now I can't register mine...) Someone have same thing? PM me.
I know there's nobody who wishes to do this xD
I'm talking about Club Nintendo of Europe.

I'll probably get it, but does it have more characters than just the Mario Bros. and those Toads? I'm just a little annoyed that they included not one, but two toads for the 3rd & 4th players. I'd have been fine with one Toad, as in the actual Toad, but there seriously are better characters to choose from. Wario, Waluigi, Daisy, etc. I just find using two toads a tad lazy.

I've been playing this game for a few hours today. I am just barely in World 3 because I am busy trying to find all the secret exits and Star Coins. I am really enjoying the game so far even though I don't have the chance to try out the multiplayer since there is no one around me that is interested in video games. :(

Isn't that the game that plays itself? Too casual for me :X
It only "plays itself" when you die 8 times in the same level. Even then, you do not have to activate the Super Guide option that appears when you restart level again. There are also more videos you can buy using the Star Coins. Again, that is completely optional.

I'll probably get it, but does it have more characters than just the Mario Bros. and those Toads?
Not really unless you count Yoshi. He appears in a few levels and you are forced to get rid of Yoshi after completing the level he appears in.

It should be arriving at my door today. But I still have Tales of Vesperia and Castle Crashers to play first. And I'm busy with school.

So, since I probably won't get around to it. I've desiginated it as a Christmas gift from myself to myself XD Same with Assassin's Creed 2 when that arrives.

Can't wait to play it though! I just replayed SMB, SMBLL, SMB2, SMB3, SML, SMW, SML2, YI, NSMB. And finishing YIDS now. So, I'm all prepped to either be wowed or significantly disappointed.

I'm at world 8 right now. (used a cannon, so.....) Fighting Baby Bowser on the flying ship (the music for the flying ship is EPIC by the way. It's like the old one, but so much more ominous!)

I wanted to post this awesome vid I saw of someone getting 30 1UPs within seconds on the flying ship!

He used the "bounce trick" where you knock out 7+ enemies without touching the ground, and every kill afterward is a 1UP. I've tried to do that before, but I didn't think to try it there!

Super Guide is completely optional. You don't have to use it. And even then, you only get the option of enabling it once you've died eight times in a level. So, no it doesn't play itself. And if you do use it, it's indicated in your save progress. So, you can't "fake" being "core".

If you want help, you can get help. Just like GameFAQs and all the videos on YouTube. It just eliminates the middle man. So, in the same fashion you wouldn't (I'm assuming) use those sources as a guide, you wouldn't use this one either. It's just...there. It's an option. And it just progresses the level. You don't uncover any secrets and or collect any special items. Just bare-bones.

And... most reviews have said its one of the more challenging Mario titles. :\

If Super Guide means Nintendo will return to creating challenging games, that those games can then still appeal to the expanded market, and at the same time I don't have to use it, then I'm all for it.

That's what I'm on too, except I lost my motivation and I'll wait until I can get some friends to play with because then it would be more fun.

My friend told me it was hard for him and he's pretty much pro at Mario games. I see now why they have multiplayer. Anayway I don't really want to get it although I will play it over my friends house cause I wanna try it.
