Does anyone else hate the propeller hat powerup and marios look?

[dairugger]

in Super Mario Wii?

Something about this ability doesnt seem right to me. maybe im used to the marios of old having a unusal/inventive powerup.. he looks like jughead from archie for gods sake, it just doesnt seem to work to me. i also never felt the power ups from mario 64 were right.

also, i hate how mario has that rendered look (in game and in the games artwork) nintendo started using starting with mario 64. i want him to look like he did in marios 2-4. i think zelda isnt the only game that should have a styleized look. dont get me wrong i love the games, but it seems like the new ones are lacking soul. i wish the new games looked like mario world on steroids. im not sure why they seem intent on making the new games look like mario 1 with the dark brown goompas and dark brown blocks and flagpole, mario 1 was hideous compared to its sequels..

anyone else feel the same way?

You gotta stop living in the past, bra.

I actually agree with this. I think what bothered me more with that power up was the ridiculous move that we HAVE to shake the wiimote up and down to float. Even though I mostly liked New SMB Wii, I still can't get fully used to Mario's "heaviness" when he runs now...like it takes an extra second for him to gain speed...

I just hate his high pitched voice. Somehow I don't think Mario should sound so high pitched and screechy.

I didn't find any of the upgrades in NSMBWii to be all that memorable. If somebody asked, I probably couldn't mention which power-ups were even in the game. The exception is the penguin suit, so I guess that is probably the best.

i also never felt the power ups from mario 64 were right.

Blasphemy! Metal Mario is one of the best Mario power-ups of all time, especially the music that comes with it. Thought the cap concept was fitting for the transition to 3D and all three were well integrated.

Ditto, especially since I feel like his voice has gotten progressively higher. However, Mario's not nearly as irritating as Toad's current voice.

It's not a memorable power-up, but it is my favorite one in the game. The penguin suit feels a bit forced to me, also redundant with the ice power.

My primary issue with NSMBWii is how slip-slidey Mario is on every level. Love the game overall, though.
