Anyone else played this yet? It's pretty cool.

My only complaint is that Mario doesn't actively partake in any conversations with other characters. He'll just nod and occasionally get an exclamation point above his head. They've been doing this for awhile now, most notably with the Mario & Luigi RPGs, and it usually doesn't bug me that much. But in this game, right towards the beginning Toad rushes in and tells Mario & Luigi that Peach has been kidnapped. Then Luigi yells "I won't stand for this! Let's go!" and Mario nods and they run off.

What the hell is that? Luigi is a little bitch who panicked his way through Luigi's Mansion, Superstar Saga, and Partners In Time. Then Mario's girl gets kidnapped and Luigi has the balls to say that HE won't stand for it? Cracka, please! And if Luigi can fucking have dialogue, Mario should be able to as well.

Mario can't talk until Lou Albano does his voice again. Cool

Mario was so sick of making all those stupid goddamn sounds in Mario Sunshine that he's gone voluntarily mute.

Oh, they still use the goofy Mario sounds, he just doesn't actively participate in conversations.

It's not as bad as Partners In Time though, where Mario & Luigi would have conversations with each other entirely in pantomine with falsetto clips of them yelling things like "OK!", "Uh-oh!" and "Baaabies!" occasionally dubbed in.

well, he still makes those stupid noises because they're dubbed in.

Either the guy that was playing was too dumb to do it, or they took the feature of being able to pick up koopa shells out of the game.

Also, is there a run button or do you always go one speed?

I hate the thing at the beginning of the game that says "hold the controller sideways" and it shows the person with the d-pad in their right hand like some kind of bullshit commie.

I'm renting it right now, I'm on chapter 5-4. Pretty cool game so far. I'll probably buy it after I return it, but I didn't have the money when I rented it.

I was really disappointed in the lack of after-game things to do. As far as I am concerned, there is not much in terms of replay value, but that is just me I suppose.

*Spoilers...sort of...not really.*
Also, the rewards for the Flopside cave of 100 trials was really disappointing. The Flipside reward was much better. Having the ability to run was one of the best things in the game.
