Apparently the reason they didn't use Peach is because of her dress. Whatever that means. Either they mean they didn't want Peach's floating ability in the game, and didn't want her without it, or they were lazy and didn't want to code for a swishing skirt. Whatever, it's a lame answer.

Well, the whole thing is masturbatory and inane anyway.

I want to be around for these production meetings. Perhaps Nintendo bought its own in-house logic system or something.

It was because they didn't want to animate her dress. There was an article on Kotaku about it.

Jesus, really? How can people defend this game as not being lazy?
Nostalgia overrides common sense. I was complaining about these things at the beginning of the thread and I'm happy to see that people are finally realizing that the game really was just a quick cash-in.

It's fine if all you want is some old-school Mario action and have already beaten New Super Mario Brothers... but that's really all it's good for.

Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game in the same way Mario 3 was fun. However, it's nothing spectacular and nothing worth of 90% scores on review sites. The fact the Wii didn't have the processing power to make it online multiplayer actually makes me quite sad for Nintendo. I suppose I'm not their target market though - I know how to play video games.
I played this last night, and it's definitely fun for four players. I do have the same arguments Juski has, the lack of an original fourth player really bothers me, and I don't like the sound toad makes. He sounds like a goddamn chimpanzee!
I'd have like to have seen unique abilities for each character. Kinda like how each jump was different for the characters in SMB2.

Rented this game and played this the last few days. Overall, it's a cool reminder to my youth, it's a satisfying play but in the end was a poor Nintendo product and like some critics we all know... another cash grab.
This game is unplayable with 2-3 players, much less 4 players. Some levels require such an amount of skill to get by that it takes just one poorly timed jump to kill several players. I don't see much of a reason to even play MP to be honest, there's no COOP other than pressing A to get by a few jumps to your friend who already did them. That's not COOP it's going through a stage easily. I wish if they would have implemented a few things players needed to do to time things to get through the stage...nothing. The game lags whenever someone gets a powerup, when someone dies, when someone jumps, when someone crouches, honestly... why is this game lagging with as little as 2 players? What is with 2 Toads? That's just lazy.
Boss battles are cool though. Especially vs bowser!

Wow, that co-op sounds as lazy and pointless as playing Tails in Sonic 2.Rented this game and played this the last few days. Overall, it's a cool reminder to my youth, it's a satisfying play but in the end was a poor Nintendo product and like some critics we all know... another cash grab.

That was kind of my experience with the game too, when I tried it at the store. Everything felt really floaty and unresponsive, utterly unlike any previous Mario game. I couldn't really get into it.
I mean in some levels, it's moving or something is behind you that will kill you and you have to keep going. Then set it up so that you have to do challenging jumps, something onto ledges that barely have space for one person.... how are supposed to do this with 2-3, much less 4? I think they just threw in the MP at the end of production and made this game a true and true cash grab.
and I forgot one thing I hate the most about this game... player bubbles. I fucken hate them so much. When a player dies or bubbles themselves you can pop them by jumping on them.... however, during maps they float around... sometimes in your way and when you touch them, your jump is affected... i cannot count the COUNTLESS times i died because of that. it's enraging.

Playing multiplayer with this game and trying to beat the final boss and dying a billion times is some of the funnest videogaming I've had in my life. This game is awesome.
