That would be great idea! Half of the fun I had playing Super Mario World was finding all the alternate paths!I hope the similarities to Super Mario World include the branching paths, and not just be 8 worlds and a huge expansive world. But if this is just another 2D Mario platformer I will be happy for the most part.
Yeah, Bowser caught me off guard first time he was chasing me!Just downloaded Super Mario World on the Virtual Console, and as far as I know, if they're getting back to SMW's style, then it will be awesome. I wasn't really into Super Mario sidescrollers until NSMB Wii. My main problem was that ridiculously easy final fight.
*********SPOILERS ALERT*********
Then came the Wii game that blew me away with its level design and the final fight, when giant Bowser in rage mode chases Mario. I dunno, but Nintendo seems to have understood what to do for real to please us.
That could be cool! The experience wouldn't be the same every time!I was hoping that it would have randomly generated levels like cloudberry kingdom

Best Wii U title so far, period. And I have two words for ya: Baby Yoshi.
It's probably my favourite character, because of its appearance in SMW, which is my favourite game of all time. This game borrows so much inspiration from SMW that it should have been NSMW! So that's my only concern with it so far... They should have gotten rid of the flagpole and bricks and replace them with goals and turn blocks. Heck, even the overworld concept of SMW returns!
But no reason for me to buy it at launch. My dad will probably wait a year and then buy it, along with this game.
You know, I never realized the similarities it had to Super Mario World!

You and me both!I've always had at least ONE Mario title for all my Nintendo systems so I'll be getting Mario Bros. U on day 1. The game reminds me of Super Mario World, which was one of my all time favorite titles, so I can't pass the game up no matter what!
The World Map has that SMW feel and I can't wait to "play" w/ all the Baby Yoshi!

Me too!(They're throwing in Reznor as a mini boss again in NSMB2, so that shows even more love for the game.. and Bowsers clowncopter.) I hope to see some more references, but most important of all, I can't wait to explore that overworld <3

I am definitely buying this game. I have played every Mario game Nintendo has ever released (Including Mario is Missing, Mario Teaches Typing, and other obscure titles. Helps to have been born in the 80's...) so I see no reason to stop now. I have the same concerns as you do. I mean, there must be more the Wii U Game Pad than just creating platforms. I thought being Player 2 in Super Mario Galaxy was bad, but this appears to be worse.
Then again, maybe it'll be fun? I don't know. Won't know until I play it.
Exactly, only time will tell!
I really don't know how I missed this.Diagonal mountains, rotating Boo Buddies..

Plus, wasn't SMW a launch game too?
Amen bro!
Yes it was! I think it was bundled with Super Mario All Stars! I still have my original bundle.
THAT would be interesting! Especially a level editor!I want my level editor and online co-op

I swear I saw Olimar in the Pikmin 3 demo
That's what I thought too, but he really isn't in the game as far as we know. Here is a picture of the family of new characters in the game.

I sure hope so! Believe it or not, I am actually pretty good with him in Brawl.It really does make me sad he's not the lead Captain. I hope this doesn't get him kicked off SSB4's roster in favour of these new guys.
That could happen. I'd like to imagine that these new characters are relatives of Olimar.I'd imagine he somehow got stranded on Earth, and his family (You do see his wife) are coming to rescue him.

It'd be really interesting if it were his family members! If the ship talks in this game (like in Pikmin 2) it could have some references to previous games or funny interaction with the characters. Maybe the ship will be a jerk and will constantly compare them to Olimar or something. I don't know, these are just some ideas haha! It could be possible that the daughter is younger and that the son is older.Yeah the little guy definitely shares similarities with the good Ol' Captain but I'm thinking it has more to do with the artistic style Pikmin uses for its' Humanoid characters. It could very well be his son as they could have just changed his hair colour to match the clothes he wore in Pikmin 2, but then that would completely destroy any chances of the girl being his daughter as the two of them were close in age. But it does seem like it's hinting that they're Olimar's family being that two of the characters share the colour of his son and daughter (Yellow, pink, blue and green respectively).
I'm really just over thinking things though and they're most likely all just new employees that Olimar hired after he took over Hocotate freight considering the president was a horrible business man.

It could be possible!I think at least one of these characters is related to Olimar, Louie or the President in some way.
I think Mr. Miyamoto said at E3 that the burly captain was a general of some sort. And the letters could be their initials. I hope they could be some creative Hocotatian names such as Olimar!I'm wondering if those letters under each of the captains is their first initial. Maybe their names are Donald, Anthony, Bonnie and Charlie? I dunno... I just love talking and speculating about Pikmin though.
Also, anyone notice the star on the burly captain's uniform? I wonder if that means he's the leader of the expedition?

It might sound crazy, but PIkmin 1 had better character development than Pikmin 2. At the end of each day in the first game, Olimar would describe his day of progress. He actually felt for the Pikmin. He was actually horrified whenever the Pikmin died and he was always saying he will not give up hope to see his family again. In Pikmin 2, all you do is go back to the planet to repay a debt. That's about it. But they really expanded on gameplay in the second one, though!I really do hope each captain keeps a journal of everything you collect like in Pikmin two. I loved reading Olimar's thoughts on the bugs and treasures and thinking about what Louie's recipes would taste like. It was a great way to give Olimar character and It would make it a lot easier to love these guys if they flesh themselves out through Journals.

I'm here hoping that somehow Louie kidnapps Olimar and makes him evil like himself
Haha, that would be very interesting!

I hope we find out early in the game!I know they said "they'res a reason you aren't playing Olimar" so something happens.

That would be an awesome twist!Turns out he's the final boss of Pikmin 3.
http://totallynottru...getyouright.com
That's how I want to go down.Olimar was eaten by a group of rabid Pikmin.
I hope he is, even though it won't make the gameplay any different. Oh well, I guess he'll be there for fans or something.He probably will be playable at a certain time of the game.

This is what Olimar's wife looks like. So I think the Pink haired girl maybe a new character. Or maybe his daughter all grown up but I doubt that since she had blond hair.
Apparently the males on Hocotate are attracted to females that look like themselves only dressed in drag.
Haha, apparently! Also, the pink haired character looks a little grumpy now that I look at it. And the youngest boy with the blue hair looks a little like Olimar.
