How to make videos like game theory?
I don't want to make theory episodes, but I would like to know how they make their videos. MatPat once described it as a "glorified slideshow". Was it actually a slideshow? How do you convert a slideshow into a video?
Is Mario (from Super Mario Bros) a heroic plumber who saves the day, or a 'shroom guzzling fantasist who needlessly murders poor defenceless turtles?
As with any hero, it depends on your perspective. To the resident of the Mushroom Kingdom, Star Road, or Yoshi’s island, he is most likely considered a hero. In the Koopa Kingdom, or Donkey Kong Country, he is probably considered history’s greatest villain.Super Mario RPG follows Mario and friends on an adventure beyond the Mushroom Kingdom, and Mario is well known throughout other realms for his heroics and jumping ability. This suggests Mario’s exploits have happened, and he is generally viewed in a positive light, and Bowser in a negative one.There is even a confirmed theory[1] that Super Mario 3 is a play/re-enactment of the events of the first Super Mario Bros game/adventure. In fact, the theory is expanded, suggesting all Mario games are perhaps television/fiction pretending to be real. This would explain why, in Super Mario 64, for example, Lakitu follows Mario around with a camera on a jig- the theory being he is filming Mario. This theory basically suggests Mario, Bowser, Toad, Peach and all the rest are actors, performing adventure entertainment, which would also explain all the Mario themed sports/competition games (Mario Kart, Super Strikers, Tennis, Party, etc) being active competition between the characters.So, while Mario may be crazy, he may also be a legitimate plumber hero, or villain (depending on perspective, or perhaps just actor/athlete.Footnotes[1] Miyamoto Confirms That Super Mario Bros. 3 Was A Play
Is there a place where I can find super Mario games metrics (jump, level design?
Ben Cousins (Ben Cousins (BenjaminCousins) on Twitter), a veteran game developer who's currently GM of Scattered Entertainment, a DeNA studio, wrote an influential piece on game atoms (or low level game design) which included an analysis of Mario's jump amongst other platforming games. More details on his website (Ben Cousins) including an article in Develop Magazine (Aug 2002) (refer to page 3 in particular, see below) and his GDCE 2005 presentation (Page on Bencousins). Basically if you're developing a 2D/3D platformer then a jump hang-time of around 0.7 seconds is your best bet.I wonder how Super Meat Boy compares?
How to do a forward flip in New Super Mario Bros Wii?
I think you're describing the triple jump. If you hit the jump button as soon as you land you do a double jump and mario make a different grunting sound, if you hit the jump button as soon as you land again he does the triple jump and goes 'wa-hoo' and jumps higher and does a flip.
In Super Mario Bros, are mushrooms decapitated toads?
Settle a bet between my brother and myself. I say they're not, but my brother says they are. However I can't provide proof. My brother's proof is that they have eyes, and "have you ever seen a mushroom field anywhere? didn't think so, but you've seen toads".
Are all Mario games part of the same storyline, or are some of them alternate realities or what if scenarios?
I like this question. Maybe now MatPat will make a new theory on it, or Cartoon Fight Club will stop saying Bowser is universe level. I mean, he is defeated from a few fireballs, which don’t hurt Dry Bones. So something is weird.Donkey Kong is an alternate world to Super Mario Bros (and maybe Donkey Kong Country). Super Mario Bros continues with Super Mario Bros 3, then Super Mario World, then Super Mario 64. Yoshi’s Island is also part of that timeline, although it happened before. Mario Kart, Mario Sports and Mario Party games are not part of any timeline continuity. Then comes New Super Mario Bros. This is a reboot and main continuity so far. Mario Wii is part of it. Mario Wii U, then there’s an in world reboot when Mario and Luigi meet their baby selves. Yoshi Island DS is part of that timeline, although it happened before.Mario Galaxy. Possibly a split of the reboot timeline. Alternate universe. Could also have different universes of its own considering that game with Rosalina. But that doesn’t erase main continuity. Then there’s the Mario game where Peach rejects Mario and Bowser, part of main continuity (probably), and same goes for the new game with Toadette. I don’t know about the other games, but I think this kind of makes sense. Hope this helps.
