@skinnyluigi uh yeah it is. It uses video and it's a game. You may just be more used to hearing terms like "computer game" or "mmorpg".... but those are ALL "video games."
This video was awesome! The best in the series in my opinion.
The whole series was pretty good in general. I honestly have no idea why I haven't tried the game yet. XD As I was watching, so many things in the game made me go: "WOW! That looks pretty fun!", "That's some good level design!" or of course: "That was hilarious!".
Overall, this is probably my favourite of the single-author hacks you've done. It's extremely well made and pays awesome attention to detail.
One thing that probably hasn't been overstated is that there were almost no 1Up farms until the very end. When a level is designed in such a way that allows you to infinitely farm lives, I see it as a massive oversight. Cypher forces you to play better and more carefully rather than just blindly run through each level with infinite chances.
I see classic Bowser fights made kinda different in the New games as well as this. I'm still waiting for them to be in 3D, though. I want to run across a twisting metal bridge above podoboos with Bowser doing his thing next to his demise device.
it was a great series! I really enjoyed the game, a bit generic in some levels but other then that, pretty cool. Thanks "cyphermurf" and thanks Raocow
I'm pretty sure the automated spinjumping used here, and used in previous levels, was supposed to force you to dismount Yoshi so you couldn't use him to make levels easier. Still doesn't make up for the fact that Mario looks absolutely retarded when he just spontaneously spinjumps like a maniac for no immediately discernible reason.
Mario Gives Up isn't (yet) featured on SMWC because it's a less common case of the Featured Hack thread not having support for MGU back to back, (the three votes it needed were spread out, making them all easy to miss.
Awesome! That was actually fairly cool, though I almost wish there would have been a bit more at the end than just "Go see the princess in Hell". They could have showed Mario enjoying his freedom without her now (Yes, I am mean. =P). But it's very fine. =)
I'm sure you're aware that the bourgeois really are the rulers, just that they want to keep themselves secret so that the public gets mad at the 'official' rulers.
Yeah, I thought it was a really great hack. I gave up on Production after it started pulling that overly-frustrating level design....looks like I would have had a better time if I just did MGU instead(although it's a bit late now that I've seen it all).
In my opinion, I wouldn't call this a "functional version of Hyper V". It's more of a "Light hearted and better made MKM1 and 2". I actually thought Hyper V, despite it's unfairness and occasional dysfunctionality, was more unique and creative than Mario Gives Up when it wanted to be.
That's not to say I think Hyper V is better. I just find hard to compare the two hacks that really don't do things similar in any way.
Wow I just have to say 21:15 I knew it was going to happen and bowser seemed to as well as he was moving away from the far right side of the screen but I laughed for a good 10 min from it.
@thobby120 He is on ALL the DRUGS. All of them. The other addicts are jealous because they don't have any drugs because raocow stole them all. I mean it's impossible for somebody to be anything but a boring unoriginal automaton unless DRUGS come into the mix, right? I think science has proven this to be true.
So remember kids, only with DRUGS can you be interesting! If thobby had been on DRUGS he would've asked a way better question. It's a lesson for us all.
Also, cypher's cutscenes>SMWCP's. Less hokey, more pokey, as the people say absolutely everywhere. And I'm basing this previous statement on absolutely nothing.
Ok, I'll say this: I didn't like MKM1 or 2 very much. Dunno why, but neither of them struck me as all that impressive.
But this game...damn, Cypher, you did awesome. It easily stands on it's own with Hyper V or SMWCP. I really enjoyed watching this playthrough. Thanks.
The endboss being broken like that is pretty depressing, and glitching through that wall early in the level too... Overall, it was pretty cool just need to get those glitches out!
On more serious note, great way to end MGU. Full of hilarity and action and its well-played parts. Perfect to start this icy morning that has no school.
@cyphermur9t you should make a sequel this was a really well made hack, but first i say you should make MKM3 because i wanna know the story some more.
