I'm not gonna lie, the cooperative strategies basically made it so half the people weren't playing.

Coop, or catch up? Mario wasn't really made for four people of different skill levels on screen at once.

Wow. I don't think they could have made that more boring if they had tried.

The dead zone effect that Brad was talking about was also the reason that the DS version felt weird to me. Great game, but fundamentally a departure from the classic Nintendo platforming feel.

I thought when they said "Water-Crossing", they meant walking on water. I almost fell out of my chair. ALMOST.

Is anyone else annoyed with the "remastered" music in this game? The vocal synth sounds in particular would seem reason enough for me to avoid this game entirely…

So your best bet is to play 2 player co-op with an equally skilled player?

Are we not supposed to know how to do things like that right off the bat? I guess that would make the game difficult.

I dont get it, are these really "super strategies"? I was expecting something that would blow my mind but these are things I would normally do in a Mario game minus the multiplayer

These are lame. The in-game Super Skills videos you can buy with Star Coins are much more skillful and fun to watch.

good luck bro, i've been trying to figure that one out all night. they really gotta tone down these game a bit. idk how the players in this video do it. they probably made the game or something and that's how they know all these strategies.

I think one of the main points was that cooperative play as well as chaotic play, both got the job done. You basically choose which one you prefer. If cooperative looked boring to you, then you likely would rather play chaotically. If chaotic looked too messy and involved too many deaths for you to be comfortable playing that way, then cooperative might be your thing. Different people see different styles as good/bad, but they are both viable.

I like how their suggested way of getting through the levels with 4 people is to minimize the number of actual players by picking each other up.
