#luigi's mansion 3ds

[galaxygermdraws]

can i ask for that luigi's mansion remake rant? i'm genuinely curious about your thoughts on it!! :0

Okay so I will admit I have not played the remake. So like I'm sure it's a good experience for those who haven't played the original, but just from the visuals I have seen of it, I personally think it's a massive downgrade in the atmosphere department. I am gonna put this under a read more because. It is very long.

My primary example of this is just to show screenshots of the foyer

It's like, fairly obvious they changed the palette, made it brighter, more vibrant, etc. Which doesn't really work when you consider this mansion is based on old timey mansions, its palette shows off its age. Not to mention the lighting. i do not get why they made the lighting yellow. Yellow lighting usually signifies comfort or hominess, as it's associated with stuff like fireplaces or lamps, but white light is a lot more. Discomforting. It's like hospital lighting, you know you're not in immediate danger, but it does not make you comfortable.

Not to mention what they did to King Boo, and I know they did this for continuity and because the 3DS hardware is more limited

But I just don't think he looks as interesting as his original design. The original game had this green overlay to pretty much everything, like the mansion had greenish-brown walls and stuff, and King Boo's model is actually green. It just kinda made him seem more spooky, as he wasn't just pure white, he was an off white. Plus him being green made his crown and eyes stand out more, and because those are some of his defining characteristics, it actually helped define his appearance (I have. an entire rant on King Boo's designs but that's not what this is)

Again I'm sure this game isn't like. Bad. I'm sure it's a good experience if you've never played the original, but as someone who has the original and has played it more times than any other game I own, I don't know why I'd play the remake over it. The remake jus lacks the atmosphere, and I know that's a complaint levied at LM2 and LM3 as well, but it's worse here because this isn't a new game this is a remake of a game that mastered the spooky atmosphere

And I know people say "they cant make it too scary, it's a kid's game" as if the original game was not made for the same audience as every other game in the franchise, since Mario games are made for everybody, not just children. Also that argument doesn't work when you consider there are much darker Mario spinoffs (*coughs in Paper Mario TTYD and Super Paper Mario. Also Mario and Luigi Partners in Time*).

Also I don't know why they added new rankings to the game, but at least it lets you replay boss fights. I also appreciate the Dark Moon control mode, because the Dark Moon controls do have some improvements, most notably the dodge feature and the strolbulb (makes it easier to see the ghosts' hearts, which I know some people struggle with doing in the original). I also like Gooigi's lore in this game, since he was introduced here and this game is canonically an alternate timeline if you really think about it.

(Also anybody who says LM3DS has the PAL Hidden Mansion mode is wrong. no it does not. The LM3DS Hidden Mansion removes like over half the features that make the PAL Hidden Mansion so insanely different. I have watched an entire video about this, I have a lot of thoughts. I wish i had a PAL Gamecube.)

Very Big Fan of the whole "Mario glaring down a threat while putting himself between said threat and his loved ones" trope, 10/10 never gets old

Some Luigi motivation. I feel exactly like that line from the "Country House" song from Blur, "I am so sad, I don't know why" Hope you guys are doing great in your lives, keep playing old and new games. The world is bit crazy rn, but retro gaming is a great shelter.

Lum No Love song trend that I've been seeing ALL OVER INSTAGRAM??

Needed a further excuse to draw Nymphia and my King Boo for the longest I love old people in love💕💕

I haven't animated in the longest time either, I usually just do it on my Nintendo DSi but this was made entirely on Medibang and CapCut, took me like 3 days. Nonetheless, SUPER HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS even if it can look a bit sloppy!!!

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga's Placement

So there are some key details in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga that tells us it's placement in comparison to other games so I wanted to talk about it.

First of this game takes place after Super Mario 3D Land, this is because in Minion Quest we see the Big Tail Goomba, and Super Mario 3D Land is the first time Bowser gave his minions the Super Leaf.

Second this game takes place after Luigi's Mansion, this because E. Gadd invents the Super Poltergust 3001 whose predecessor is the Poltergust 3000. In addition the Portrait Ghosts make an appearance in Superstar Saga. Also, because of the Poltergust 4000 this would place Superstar Saga before Mario Kart DS.

Also, the Blocks Of Nostalgia room has blocks from Super Mario 64 and Paper Mario 64 in it, which are stated to be from Mario's past adventures. This places Superstar Saga after Super Mario 64 and Paper Mario 64 as well. But this is made more obvious by the next detail in it's placement.

In Minion Quest Bowser Junior is shown to be around at this time, this would place Superstar Saga taking place sometime after Super Mario Sunshine, and by extension would place Mario Kart 64 before Superstar Saga as well. Since Sunshine is Bowser Junior's debut and the first time Mario & Peach have met Junior..

Also, knowing New Super Mario Bros. DS takes place after Super Mario Sunshine, depending on the placement of the timeline, 3D Land could be the first time Bowser becomes Dry Bowser.
