4. What are you saying?

---

1. It's not an exact copy.
2. Price point, inflation, and availability on platforms can also affect sales.

5. What about Limeade? Lemonade is overrated?

---

Lemonade of all sorts is never overrated.

What flavor of Lemonade is your favorite?

---

The fresh squeezed strawberry lemonade I had a couple months ago, made with real sliced strawberries. Amazing on a hot day.

4. How is it not an exact copy?

---

You are talking about the difference between Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros Wii, correct?

If so, do you not have eyes?

4.25. What’s price point?

---

The price that an item is sold at in stores.

4.5. It was a Wii-exclusive.

---

Yes, and a lot of people had Wiis in their homes, even beyond the normal gaming crowd, where the NES was still reletively niche, even given its popularity. This gives a massive consumer base of people to buy the game, making it sell better. And that's before the bundles that had the game with it.

4.75. How would inflation help sales any?

---

I didn't say help. I said affect.

Are you the Clown Prince now?

Depends on who you ask. Check back next year.

Got a Christmas name planned yet? IIRC this'll be your first time though

---

Never thought about it. Won't be my first Kafuka Christmas, though. Or are we just talking layouts?

Posted by Danika

---

Ah yes, just noticed the registration date, wasn't sure if you were around for last Christmas or not Yeah, what christmas layout do you want?

---

If I go the Batman route, probably Mr. Freeze. If I go the Overwatch route, most likely Mei with a pink name.

4. What are the biggest differences?

---

Too many to list. Graphics, level layout, 4-player simultaneous play, new powerups, and more. Take your pick.

4.5. But it’s not like a launch game or anything, people could’ve bought another game.

---

It's a Mario game. Everyone knows Mario, and once casual players look for some other game to play that isn't Wii Sports, chances are good they'll reach for a Super Mario title.

4. Besides multiplayer and gfx what are the TRUE DIFFERENCES? How is it any better than SMB or any of the first mainstream Mario platformers? Like SMB3? I read that game is like the SM64 of Mario sidescrollers? Or what about SMW?

---

All this makes me believe you never actually played the game, and only read about it. It is an exceedingly different experience that has similarities only in the sense that is a side scrolling platformer with similar characters.

Besides, we weren't talking about "better"...only "different". If you can, play the game and see for yourself.

4.5. They still could’ve bought Zelda or Animal Crossing or Metroid or something.

---

Yes, they could have, but they didn't. Twilight Princess seemed to come the closest, but you can't beat a mainline Mario title in terms of sales and name recognition. What exactly are you trying to prove here?

---

Most annoying stage in any 3D Mario game?

---

The first one to come to mind is Tick Tock Clock, but I know plenty of people would disagree with that.

4. I’ve played the game but I STILL don’t see the major differences between NSMBW and SMB3/W besides higher gfx and aud fidelity. The gameplay still doesn’t feel different.

What are the MAJOR GAMEPLAY DIFFERENCES?

---

Now you're just moving the goalposts. This exchange started by looking at the difference between SMB and NSMBW. Every Mario game tends to gradually build upon the precedent of the previous ones; taking the best elements and expanding on them over time with tiny innovations here and there.

Besides, you never answered my question: What are you attempting to prove? And why are you putting so much stake in me proving something else?

4.5. You’re such a magician.

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

5. Know where I can find 16/64-bit versions of my favorite music?

---

It may not be exactly this, but 8-Bit Universe is the closest thing I've found to what you're talking about in terms of sheer song volume.

---

Favorite Rainbow Road?

---

Good question. MK64 comes to mind for being the first to capture the vibe of a super long endgame magic track. The MK8 remake of the 64 track comes close, but misses out on not making the player run laps on the whole track.

Heh, what happens if you try to catch a Mario enemy, a Final Fantasy enemy or a Digimon inside a Poké Ball?

---

Bounces harmlessly off, or so I've been told.
