AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I got Super Mario 3D Land early. It's great.

Better than New Super Mario Bros or is it too different to compare.

I hate you.

Gamestop isn't opening early tomorrow even though they told me they were opening at 8 am for the game release.

This is the same store that opened an hour early for Professor Layton. Wouldn't you think opening early for a MARIO GAME that you admitted you have over 100 preorders for would be a good idea?

At least they're not pulling a Golden Sun and saying "Lol, Nintendo forgot to ship it to us, come back on Monday (they get shipments on Tuesdays)."

If I could depend on Wal-mart, Target, or Best Buy to not be bigger dumbasses about game releases, I wouldn't deal with Gamestop at all... >_>

In other news though, I completed my 5th Streetpass Puzzle, so now I just need 6 pieces.



I've been watching a few playthroughs here and there, and while it's similar to NSMB in structure (mostly linear levels, but with hidden stuff to find), it's more of a mix between SMB and SMB3 with Galaxy mechanics. There's no forked world maps, and sometimes you have to have a certain number of star coins to proceed to the next level. The airships work like they did in SMB3, but they now have a few Castle-like qualities to them (those spikes that shoot out of the ceilings and walls in some of the castles in NSMB, for example.

The bowser fights look really good though. They remind me of tougher old school SMB fights where the objective isn't to beat him up, but to get past him and blow up the bridge (and you have to get past him about 2-3 times to beat him).

And then finally the special worlds are like the prankster comet challenges in the Galaxy games, so while the main game is supposed to be fairly easy, these are where you're going to run into trouble.

I hate when this happens, I go to the Gamestop afterschool just to find out the game I've been waiting for isn't in stock. I can't wait for this game, it looks great.

Want.

No 3DS games for me right now after I bought Skyrim.

I've beaten the first 4 worlds and gotten all 69 star coins so far.

This is where my watching of playthroughs ended, so from here until the end of World 8, I'm going in blind.

The game is awesome, and I'm REALLY surprised by how much the 3D helps. I was a bit skeptical of everyone saying that it improves the game and is almost unplayable without it, but now I can see what they meant.

Getting the game was a bit of a pain though. I only got to streetpass with one person because despite the "over 100" preorders, no one was there for the first 10 minutes the store was open. Also, I have to go back to get my tanooki suit keychain because they lost them. Did I mention before how much I hate gamestop?

EDIT: According to my 3DS, it took me 4 hours and 51 minutes to beat the first 8 worlds and collect all 148 star medals in those worlds. Not too bad, but I hope the Special Worlds take a bit longer.

woo, the day i get paid is the same day Mario Kart 7 comes out

Guys, PETA doesn't want you to enjoy Super Mario 3D Land.

Let the rage commence...

PETA-PETA how could you betray us?!

I beat that in 2 seconds.

EDIT: ABSOLUTE ZERO, BABY!

Also, doesn't Mario's suit basically grow on trees?

Pfffttt oh god.



PETA

HOW?

Also it's a fucking Leaf.

Only shows that peta knows shit and only wants to get attention by shocking others. Kinda pathetic.

Every time you collect ten coins, the timer goes down by ten seconds. You'll need to be pretty lucky, though.
