DualShockers | Preview: Super Mario 3D World - Why is Toad Blue?

Every Nintendo system (except for the GameCube) has had a definitive Mario game coupled with its run since the original Nintendo Entertainment System back in the 1980s. Super Mario 3D World is not 2007′s Super Mario Galaxy, nor is it 1996′s Super Mario 64; it shows no signs of emerging as the definitive Mario Bros. game of the Wii U. What it does do however, is maintain the charm of the franchise, along with the fun and enjoyment that one would expect from a Mario Bros. game. If Nintendo returns to the Galaxy series or goes in a completely new direction, I doubt 3D World will be considered the definitive Mario Bros. game of the Wii U, but in the interim, it is a remarkable placeholder.

You would think the original red toad would be a main character....they did this in New Super Mario Bros Wii, had a yellow and blue toad instead of the red one and Peach.......they couls of made Daisy replace Peach as the one who needed rescuing

The red toads have always been the NPCs.

EliteGameKnight4612d ago

Its because Mario is red and they don't want the players mixing eachother up. As such, they went with blue because the red is taken by Mario, Green by Luigi, and yellow by Peach, her head color.

Because it's a reference to Super Mario Bros. 2.

Yeah, I got that. Mentioned in the article as well that the game is loaded with references. The subtitle was more of a reference to the generation of gamers that may not understand what a lot of this game is alluding to in its gameplay and scenery.

Is that a sleight against sunshine i see??? I love that game

MooseyXTC4612d ago

Same reason Cat Mario is Yellow.
Dunno.

TransientDreamer4612d ago

I don't get that either! Why couldn't they just take the Power Rangers route and have all the colors be uniform with what they're wearing already? Lol.

Agreed. Great for multiplayer.

If they do make a sequel, they should incorporate Bowser’s Fury’s game design into the mix. Think Bowser’s Fury’s overworld where you can find warp points to linear levels like Mario 3D World.

I still say the series peaked with Galaxy. They've put out good stuff since then, but nothing really matched up.

Movieworld1385d ago

Absolutely no way odyssey should be above either galaxy. Laughable

Forget Odyssey 2 - It's Time For Super Mario 3D World 2

It's time for Nintendo to give the Super Mario 3D World formula another chance with a new game built from the ground up for the Nintendo Switch.

richardmmorales1410d ago

Rather have a new Super Mario RPG.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is my favorite Mario. I'd event take a remaster/remake.

Babadook71409d ago

My favourite Mario’s are Mario 64 and SM World SNES. Neither Odyssey nor 3D World were great imo.
