Mario Galaxy's Missing Starship - Missing in Action

Ойындар

Welcome to Missing in Action, where we take a look back at game elements that have gone missing! And it's been quite some time since Starship Mario last made a brand new appearance! Have the Lumas taken Mario's faceship away? Join us as we shine a searchlight on this forgotten starship and explore its story, from Super Mario Galaxy 2 to several cameos, and compare it to the hub worlds of other 3D Mario games! #supermariogalaxy2 #nintendo #supermario

    this feels like a weird one to question "why no return?" because it felt like a one game gimmick for how specific it was.

    I always loved Starship Mario. I thought it was such a cool and unique hub. Seeing it develop and gain more residents as you progressed through the game was so satisfying, and I just loved the atmosphere. I would love to see it return some day. Let us never give up hope. Galaxy 2 still deserves to be brought back! Justice for SMG2!

    I feel like Starship Mario has some missed potential. I like some of the ideas it has going for it like being a planetoid with gravity, connecting to a Starshroom with the Warp Pad, and recruiting characters from the galaxies you visit. Though the characters you recruit don't react to the new places you explore. They just offer the same advice over and over again. And Starship Mario could've been expanded to feel more like a home away from home. Those two empty rooms with the gambling lumas could easily be replaced with a bedroom or kitchen.

    I have always wondered what galaxies Mario would visit if Starship Mario went left instead of right. A tropical jungle galaxy, a magical clocktower, a Japanese zen garden, or the interior of a supermassive house? What about a M. C. Escher inspired galaxy with upside down stairs and vertical hallways?

    The "Hub Worlds" are a big part of the Super Mario series. But Starship Mario is tied to Super Mario Galaxy 2 which is technically a Super Mario Galaxy game not a Super Mario game. Plus SMG2 doesn't play like the previous Super Mario games so that might suggest a difference in importance of Starship Mario.

    while i don't miss it that much as it was a downgrade to the comet observatory/lubba especially to rosalina(wish her being playable had been a 100% reward for that brutal endgame.) do remember when starship mario was just going to be a planet mario went through in the trailer & do like alongside it's appearance in fortune street/super nintendo world and smash bros. if a future mario movie sequel had the bros. go into space(which i'm 100% with how it's inevitable rosalina will show up.)like if it was the starship mario being how they traveled with the bros. bantering about it's look.

    Okay, so tell me. What would be the point of unlocking Rosalina as a playable character? I mean, you’ve finally 100%ed the game and for literally no reason Rosalina becomes a playable character. What’s the point of that? You’re not going to go back and play the game again just because you unlocked her. How would that work anyway? You can’t play as her because; 1. She wouldn’t have a move set yet, so Nintendo can’t think of any unique features 2. Rosalina is meant to have been kidnapped by Bowser in Bowser’s Galaxy Reactor (or Generator). You can’t have two Rosalina’s.
