Brainstorming Thread, This topic has absolutely NO priority!!

I actually meant something like this



Mario can't fit through the second hole, but Waluigi can fit through both because of how thin he is.

Oh, okay, see, with something like that, I could possibly see it wourking if it wasn't for the fact that his head, which is about as large, if not larger than Luigi's, woudn't get in the way.

Even though, if the people in this weeks meeting decide to go with that, I can think of a way to use it in the boss fight. Only problem is, how could you get back up?

I actually use that thin idea in my Paper Mario game.

If you can manage to get past the head-size issue, then getting back up would be relatively simple. The level would need to have a one-way platform that Waluigi could jump through at the end of that path; that's how I applied the technique in my game, at least.

When he turns completely on his side, we can make his nose a little less long and the head a little thinner. Remember, there's a whole seperate button for this, so we can do whatever we want to the pose to make it work.

Not really a "brain storming" question, but are we still using Dry guy? I think it could work for a ruin level or something.

DryGuy is cool and I also like the idea of thin Waluigi being able to crawl.

Wait, are we going with crawling or thin?

We'll decide on Saturday. I actually prefer one of these (more specifically the crawling) over the bombs, since the bombs were just a quick solution because I couldn't come up with anything better.
But as you said, we'll have a meeting and decide there.

Yeah. Honestly, I'd be more for the thin thing since anyone can crawl, so it seems more fitting that he'd be able to fall through thin holes. That and I can already see that being used for the DG boss battle.

I was thinking, if Luigi did his flutter jump while over an updraft, could he get a boost then fall slower?

After getting this boost, he wouldn't recieve another boost from the same source of the updraft (right after, if you hit land, then you can use it again), meaning you'd have to move to the next if it was over a pit.

Interesting thought.

I have questions.

Firstly, you said mushrooms were not being used in the game. Wouldn't they be used to recover health? or is something already planned for that?

Secondly, I was thinking we could have bouncy mushrooms and flowers, NSMB-esk.

1) Mushrooms ARE in the game, but out of gold and they do not work like normal mushrooms.

2) To restore health, Mario and Luigi use cherries in this game (due to the lack of mushrooms), while Wario and Waluigi use their famous garlic to recover.

3) Bouncy Mushrooms and Flowers? Are you talking about decoration?

Bouncy Mushrooms are mushrooms that works like trampolines.

Oh. Well why not...
I don't remember any bouncy flowers in NSMB though.

Do you mean fireflowers?

oh, sorry I wasn't being specific. I thought we could use flowers as well because they might fit better in certain levels.

We could put water lilies on lakes possibly.

I was thinking, for the Piranha gut level, there should be two levels.

The stem which is a "get to the bottom" level, and the body which is under ground and works like a normal level. Also, maybe a secret level with various puzzles.


Also, going along htose lines, I'm thinking certain levels should have exlusive enemies (this was probably obvious). Anyways, I've been making some enemies from M&L 3 (basic "in bowser" enemies, nothing spoilery)

sounds good sgg

SGG, I was thinking, for more piranha tiles, we could have platforms, attached to goo (from the top) and when you step on them the platforms sink, and if nothing is on them, they rise. This would be interesting because you could push crates onto them and such as well. We could create puzzles with this too.
