Though they’re competent, enjoyably raucous platformers in multiplayer, the New Super Mario Bros series almost seem too conservative for me, in a series known for its wild, cavalier approach to throwing in new concepts, they seem to play things a little too safe for the sake of familiarity./r/Mario is the biggest and best subreddit out there for those who want to talk about and share their experiences about the Mario franchise, spanning video games, books, movies, television, cereal, and more! ![]() Games such as Super Mario Sunshine (with the water-based abilities of FLUDD) and even Super Mario Odyssey to a certain extent with the enemy-possession abilities of Cappy thrown into the mix) – have built their premises on mechanics that haven’t been seen before in the series, and may not be seen again. In any case, it still amuses me that my first experiences of the Mario series were so different from what was expected, but – given how diverse and full of random little one off power ups and level designs the series became known for as of Super Mario Bros 3 (the Goomba Shoe, for example, just thrown in for a single stage of the game) – perhaps the leftfield kookiness of the two titles I’ve covered is less pronounced now. Super Mario World was the next game I actually owned though, having acquired a SNES in order to play it. I may well have next played through the very first Super Mario Bros on a NES that my brother acquired, but it could also have been Super Mario Bros 3 that was the next game I played in the series (weirdly, I went through a phase where I swapped consoles and games with my neighbours – my Master System and games would live with them for a bit, while I got my hands on their NES and accompanying software). Of course, things get a bit muddier after that. ![]() Though it was an easy game to breeze through and I completed it in no time, I kept on going back to it the gameplay was ridiculously addictive. I had no idea that Daisy was an entirely new Princess character, for example, nor that there weren’t usually side scrolling shoot ‘em up levels in other Mario games. Again, not being overly familiar with the series – beyond my experience of Super Mario Bros 2 a short time before then – I didn’t realise how different it was. It’d be a while before I had a Super Mario game of my own, but again it turned out to be an oddity – when I got my Game Boy for my birthday in June 1991, the non-Tetris game I chose for it was Super Mario Land. Those 10p coins didn’t last anywhere near as long as I wanted them to. ![]() I don’t recall the full list of games that were on this particular Pla圜hoice 10 machine (though The Goonies II seems to ring a bell), because there was one game that captured my attention for pretty much the whole time I had a supply of coins. It was a refreshing change from the normal experience of playing a rock hard arcade game that would often kill you and demand more silver sustenance in the blink of an eye. When a coin was inserted, it granted a set amount of time to play whatever games you wanted to when the time ran out, you could insert more coins and continue. With nothing else to do and no other machines available (the pub had just swapped their RoboCop coin-op for the Pla圜hoice 10), I decided to play some games – with the few 10p pieces that I’d been given by my slightly tipsy parents.Ī Pla圜hoice 10 machine was an arcade cabinet loaded with ten NES games, from a surprisingly wide range. It was in the corner of a dingy pub – that my parents had taken me to on a Friday night – that I discovered a Nintendo Pla圜hoice 10 machine. So I was late to the Mario party (pun intended!). ![]()
