Quote:I was replying to Weltall. He was talking about the CAMERA controls... I thought it was pretty obvious...
Oh right, yeah.
Quote:That "outside generic" is about 5 different types? Same with "water". And "sky". Tall Tall Mountain, Bob-Omb Battlefield, and Whomp's Fortress are very different styles... not "outdoors generic".
Same with the Jolly Roger Bay and that other one with the water level you can change (and the third water one? Not sure if there was one...). And how about Tick Tock Clock? That's unique. As for Sky, does that mean the Rainbow Road? Because there was a bonus level (switch room for the hat) that was quite different set in the sky too.
No, every level is very unique in theme and setting in SM64. Sure, some have similarities, but each has major unique themes too...
As opposed to SMS where over half the levels have the same exact theme and the other half have variations on it. Quite a big difference there. Sure, each has unique things of course, but they aren't about setting or theme in most cases. Just some of the stuff in the level, and that's a different category.
Quote:The only themes that really repeated were water and snow.
Oh that is such bullshit. If you're going to count each and every one of those outdoor areas as completely unique then you have to do the exact same with Mario Sunshine's levels. The themes that get repeated are the generic outdoor areas, the snow areas, the water areas, and uh... I think there's one more. The first two levels are identical in theme, and there are a few more that belong to that generic outdoor area theme as well. I'll get screenshots when I have time.
Quote:You lost the punch, the crouch-jump and the dash-jump, you gained the Hover, the Dash, and the Turbo.
Wow what a precise, error-free list. I certainly hope you don't use "facts" like these in your other arguments. Here's a full (I think) list of all the new moves you get in Mario Sunshine:
-Spinning jump
-Tightrope/Springboard jump
-Rocket jump
-Hover jump
-Speed jump
-Wall Ride
-Spray
-Spin Spray
-Wet Slide
And then of course the Yoshi stuff.
Quote:I dunno, I'm usually very sensitive to control too, but there wasn't a notable difference in my opinion.
Well you're definitely not as sensitive to control as I am if you can't tell the difference.
