Super Mario 3D World: Cat Suits

Do you like the Tanooki suit? Well too bad, Super Mario 3D World gives you a cat suit. You'll now have all the abilities of the everyday house-cat.

I was able to play the game at E3, but I didn't get the chance to use the cat suit in all its glory. I took the reps advice and picked a level that was more traditional Mario.

Here's a video of me playing the game (I'm only playing in the first level shown):

The cat suit is likely more fun than it sounds, but the game itself is pretty great. The cool thing is that it supports up to four players, which can get pretty hectic if you all don't work together.

I was really pleased with the Nintendo booth at E3 and I enjoyed all the games I was able to play. My opinion of the console is now in the black zone (econ reference) and I'm likely going to pick up the WiiU when I can. The addition of Mega Man to the new Smash Bros game was also a huge selling point.

Toadstools are pretty useless, considering they're supposed to be Princess Peach's guards. To be fair, they don't have any kind of weapons or defenses that they can use.

Still, if not for their carelessness, we wouldn't have many Mario games. It'd be nice though if Toad did more than say "Your princess is in another castle." How is it that Toad is always at the end of those castles?

What has he been doing while Mario is out jumping and cleaning pipes? It's some kind of conspiracy, like a deal that he's made with Bowser or something.

Warped Pipes!

Decided to stick with a classic today since I put off brainstorming games for the strip. Not to mention my computer's graphics card froze while I was outlining (set me back two hours).

The first panel could be reworked now that I look at it, but I love the second panel. Might have to place that somewhere...
