No frog suit, no buy
Super Mario Makerhas been making me think dangerous thoughts about buying a Wii U. It justlooks so charming and sweetthat I’ve been secretly generating rationales and excuses to myself to go out and blow a few hundred dollars I can’t afford on it. If only there was some kind of bucket of cold water, some small complaint I could focus on that would keep me from making a terrible mistake.
Wait a second, there’s no Frog Suit in the game?Guess you didn’t want my money after all, Nintendo.
This image (full size) shows all the terrain types, enemies, and items that didn’t make the cut inSuper Mario Maker. Some of them I understand (I imagine sloping terrain would be hard to implement, and who gives a shit about red coins) while others seem like crazy omissions. Really, no Tanooki Suit? For shame.
Honestly though, looking at this list just makes me appreciate the sheer breadth, scope, and variety of the series. The idea thatSuper Mario Makercan be so undeniably chock-full ofstuffand still miss a bunch of classic enemies and tile sets (without being obviously apparent) is a testament to how much Nintendo has done withMarioover the years.
