Castlevania - Fan Edition didnt age too well...
InfoGenius Systems - Personal Looks.... fun. Gotta love how you can emulate it on Vizzed. But why is this on GameBoy?
Mario Kart DS Hoping the battle missions return to the Mario Kart franchise. Those were always so fun!
Super Mario Kart Didn't age very well to be honest. Your nostalgia glasses are on too tight.
Animal Crossing: City Folk I personally found Wild World to be better, even though it was earlier.
Minecraft Update Aquatic is way good. Probably the best content update yet tbh
Animal Crossing: New Leaf You can't play 3DS games on Vizzed silly..

Crash Bandicoot Wrath Cortex
07-20-18 02:46 PM
Crash Bandicoot? More like Crap Bandicoot (Wrath of Cortex)
It is October the 29th, 2001. The Playstation 2 is thriving, the GameCube just got released, and the original XBOX arrives in just 17 days. Needless to say, the video game industry is about to enter one of its greatest ages. Famous for its excellent games on the original Playstation, the Crash Bandicoot franchise is expected to be a big part of this new era of high-quality 3D games. The PS1 had Crash Bandicoot, Cortex Strikes Back, and Warped, which were all praised but critics and gamers alike. When it was announced that a fourth mainstream Crash game was going to be released on PS2 (as well as GameCube and eventually XBOX), titled Wrath of Cortex, fans got excited. However, Wrath of Cortex was the first Crash game to not be developed by Naughty Dog, and it shows. The project was sent to Traveller's Tales for whatever reason. Up until that point, TT was pretty much only known for Sonic R and Sonic 3D Blast, which were both... pretty terrible, let's be honest. So why Konami gave TT developing rights, I do not know. Let's see TT's take on Crash Bandicoot.

[b]Graphics - 3[/b]

The graphics for Wrath of Cortex were disappointingly bad, even for an early title. Final Fantasy X came out 4 months before and looks beautiful. The art style of Crash Bandicoot games is cartoony and playful. There are lots of bright colors, and textures are very smooth. In Wrath of Cortex, these "smooth" textures just look low-budget. Weirdly enough the crates have pretty good wooden textures and particles, but overall the models in this game are quite poor. There's also a very annoying problem with depth in this game because of the crappy lighting, so I'm always looking for Crash's shadow to see where I'm landing. The backgrounds of each level are also literally just 2D images that spin around to face you. The XBOX release in 2002 [i]did[/i] fix the lighting and update some textures, but it's still not fantastic by any means.

Borderlands 2 Game of the Year Edition

Boderbones Episode II: Attack of the Loaders
TOOT TOOT! WELCOME TO THE REVIEW EXPRESS, PLEASE BUCKLE YOUR SEATBELTS, BEVERAGES WILL BE SERVED IN THE DIIIINING CAAARRRRR!!!!

Borderlands 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Borderlands (surprise, surprise!). It was developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games. The original Borderlands revolved mostly around co-op, and so does Borderlands 2, but this game is still great in single-player. There were many mechanic changes that made this friendlier for solo players. For example, better enemy scaling and the ability to move while crippled. I am here today to review Borderlands 2 Game of the Year Edition for PC, which comes bundled with most of the game's DLC.

Graphics - 8

Borderlands 2 is cel-shaded, meaning that most textures are less realistic and have black outlines. Here is Borderlands 2 with cel-shading, and here it is without. You can notice that the game looks like a cartoon or an old 3D Playstation 2 game without cel-shading. Most people would agree that the game looks a lot better with the black outlines.
 
With the art style of the game in mind, Borderlands 2 looks very good. Most of the textures look nice. However, for reasons I do not know, there are many textures that seem to be low resolution and blurry, as well as other textures not "fitting" the object correctly. Due to these flaws, I have to give the graphics an 8.

Sound - 8

Borderlands 2 has great environmental music and sound effects. Each type of gun makes different noises based on the manufacturer, barrel, body, grip, sight, and stock. There is just such a large variety of high quality sounds in this game. The soundtrack is also great. There aren't any songs you'll get caught in your head, but they really build the game's atmosphere. Some of my favorites are Flamerock Refuge from Tiny Tina's DLC and the Wildlife Exploitation Preserve theme.

I think that the real beauty of the sound in Borderlands 2 is the voice a... Read the rest of this Review

Borderlands I: The Phantom Vault
BORDERLANDS

Ah, the original Borderlands, one of my favorite shooters of all time. I've owned this game for quite some time and played it a bit, but then I got Borderlands 2 and played that countless hours instead. A few months ago, the original Borderlands became free on XBOX 360 if you had Xbox Live Gold, so I decided to install it. It sucked me back in, so since then I've played it a lot. So here I am to review it!

Game Info:
The game was developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games.
The game came out on October 20, 2009 for Windows, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3.
Borderlands is rated M for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Language, Sexual Themes, and Use of Alcohol. However, the only concern for anyone would be the blood and gore, and even that isn't bad. Though it is a bit disturbing to burn a midget psycho to death...
There were 4 DLC campaigns released after the game.
The game is full of references and jokes and is a bit more light-hearted than many shooters.

So, onto the review.

Graphics - 8

Right when you launch the game, you may notice the graphics are shaded oddly. This is called cel-shading and is used in many other games, such as Dragon Quest VIII and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. Cel-shading is basically normal shading, but with no gradients. This means that, if light is hitting something, the shading would go straight from light to dark, rather than a gradual shift with intermediate brightness. Cel-shading also typically has dark outlines.

With that being explained, you can understand that it isn't an issue with graphics, and that it's an interesting style. I believe it compliments the game very well. It may not be the most realistic, but it is pleasing to look at. I believe Gearbox did a great job in making the graphics of Borderlands, so I give it an 8.

Cory in the House
01-21-16 03:48 PM
CORY CORY CORY IN THE HOOOOUUSE
Introduction

When it first came out in 2007, Cory in the House was one of the most critically acclaimed animes of all time. It had an all-star cast with incredible acting with a very deep and interesting plot. Shows today look back on it in amazement, barely believing that such a well-made show could exist. However, the show was short-lived due to the main actor, Kyle Massey, being picked by The Great One himself and ascending into heaven to become the Angel of Annihilation after the second season was finished. For the legacy to live on forever, a video game was created to preserve the TV show.

Graphics - 10

Never have I seen graphics more realistic than this. The fact that they pulled this off on a DS game, the most pixelly game system of all time, just astounds me. Though don't take my word for it, see for yourself! They truly captured the "essence of real life" with these graphics. It's hard to imagine that this game isn't just a whole bunch of live-action cutscenes!

Sound - 10

One of the most loved characteristics of the original Cory in the House anime was the catchy theme song. Parents everywhere were drowning in their children singing the lyrics until the parents themselves started singing too. What really captured my heart is the fact that the theme song is in the video game! And it sounds just like the original too! That's pretty much the only song that plays the whole game though so I have to rate the sound a 9.5. WHICH ROUNDS UP TO 10

Addictiveness - 10

This game really captured me for a couple months. My family was worried sick about me. I could not do anything but play this game nonstop. I left my room once to go to the bathroom, but I brought my DS with me so I could do the ol' play-n-pee. It got to the point where my mom called an authority to come pry me out of my room, but he quickly stopped when I showed him the game. Then he immediately left and bought the game himself!

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Ultimate Evil Edition

Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls
Last week Diablo 3 officially became the 10th bestselling video game of all-time (which includes mobile games and free games, so really it should be like 5th). That being said, it surprises me that this game is so little talked about on Vizzed. It did come out many years ago, but then again so did Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Mario Bros. And unlike the latter, this game could be played for 1000 hours and the game still wouldn't feel like it's getting old and overplayed.

But who cares about how much it's talked about, right? All you need to know is how good the game is. So, let's start off the review with anoverview.

PLAYSTYLE

Diablo 3 is an Action Role-Playing Game, or ARPG for short, with an isometric view. Ever played Gauntlet, Torchlight, Baldur's Gate, or Path of Exile? Those are all the same playstyle as Diablo 3. For those who haven't played any of those, or perhaps you just want a refresher on what it is, you pick a class with unique abilities and fight monsters.

In Diablo 3, you have 6 attack buttons. A is your primary attack, Right Trigger is your secondary attack, X is your defensive ability, Y is a special ability, and B and Right Bumper are typically your class's ultimate attacks. However, each type of attack typically has about 4 specific attacks, making each class have about 24 attacks they can perform. That's a huge amount considering what type of game this is, but it doesn't stop there.

Each and every attack has 5 runes that modify the base attack. Runes can be many different things. For example, there's a rune that makes an attack where you throw out frogs completely change to a rune where frogs rain from the sky. But there's also a rune for a poison dart attack simply have a chance to stun the enemy and deal lightning elemental damage. There is also 14-16 passive abilities for each character (you can equip 4 at max level) that aren't attacks, but give you a side bonus (like +20% damage against far ... Read the rest of this Review
Banjo-Kazooie
01-09-15 03:07 PM
The world's favorite bear and bird
Ah, Banjo-Kazooie. A game from the peak of Mount Rareware, back when they were good. Almost every kid who had an N64 knows this game. Everyone who played it loved it. Anyone who loved Donkey Kong Country would love Banjo-Kazooie. This game captured the hearts of many players, bringing platformers to a whole new level. This game truly is one of the best platformers out there. I'll tell you why.

Graphics - 10

Super Mario 64? Cross-eyed and layers of fat. Mario Kart 64? Rather 2D looking sprites and not much detail. Banjo-Kazooie? Now we're talking. Banjo-Kazooie has really good graphics. You never have trouble seeing anything, everything is bright and colorful (except for you-know-where), and everything has surprising detail. Look at any image from the game and you'll see what I mean; everything looks great and realistic (at least for the time)! When the N64 came out, everyone saw Super Mario 64 and was blown away by the graphics. Then Banjo-Kazooie comes out and people see that the graphics are almost twice as good. Is there any reason to complain about the graphics in this game?

Sound - 10

Rareware is known for its good music. David Wise and Grant Kirkhope really knew how to make catchy, fitting tunes. The music gives the game way more atmosphere. You feel like you're living in the game. Remember Rusty Bucket Bay? That theme fits the level so well it's unbelievable. I never thought music mattered that much to a game until I played Banjo-Kazooie. The composer put noises into the music that made the atmosphere even deeper and the music even better (horns/whistles in Rusty Bucket Bay, croaks in Bubblegloop Swamp). These songs can get stuck in your head for the rest of your life.

Addictiveness - 9

You know how I kept going on and on about the atmosphere of the game? That's one of the things that makes this game really addictive. Like I said, you feel like you're actually inside of the game. Would you want to le... Read the rest of this Review
Golden Sun
01-09-15 01:18 PM
One of the best RPG games of all time
I beat this game in the early Summer of 2014 and said to myself, "I'm gonna make a review of this game." As you can see, it took half a year before I finally got around to it. Golden Sun is a unique RPG made by Camelot in the 1900s. Or maybe the 2000s, I dunno. It has sold over 1,000,000 copies worldwide and was critically acclaimed as an incredibly good RPG. But... how come no one has played it? Have you played it? It's not very well known unless you're aware of the high request for Isaac in the Smash Bros. community. Anyhow, onto the review!

Graphics - 9

The GameBoy Advance was a big step in mobile graphics. You look at the GameBoy Color, which basically looks like crappier NES graphics, then you look at the GameBoy Advance and see graphics better than the Super Nintendo. Golden Sun is no exception to this, certainly not. It has among the best graphics the system can offer. Bright and beautiful color, really cool effects when you attack, and some pretty well-made portraits. The only "bad" graphics are the battle sprites. They have probably 4 different frames they can change between.

Sound - 10

This game has pretty generic RPG noises for the dialogue and battle sound effects. But the music? Oh boy, the music. Golden Sun is known for its battle music. Behold, the famous Isaac Battle Theme. It repeats a lot but... It never gets annoying. It's that good of a song. But there is another song that blows people's minds... This song gives you a sense of courage and heroism in the game and keeps motivating you to play until you complete the game. Ladies and gentlemen, I am talking about the Venus Lighthouse theme. Each type of location (village, forest, overworld, etc.) also has unique music.

Gameplay / Addictiveness - 10

This game is fun. You thought RPG's by Squaresoft/Square Enix are the best? You thought Paper Mario was a very good RPG series? You haven't seen anything until you've played Golden Sun. Golden Sun... Read the rest of this Review

Timon & Pumbaa's Jungle "Games"
Timon & Pumbaa's Jungle Games. It's a game where you play games. Yeah. Nothing more. Each game has a different style. Yup.
#bestintroductionever

This'll be a fairly short review as there isn't much to talk about in this game. That may bring up a question to some of you; "Then why are you reviewing it?" Because it has a lot of nostalgia for me. It was one of my first SNES games I've played.

Graphics - 5

The sprites look like crap, but the other graphics are... OK, I guess. Nothing revolutionary, nothing crappy (except for the sprites). So the graphics are bad, but not too bad. Yup.

[img]http://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/user_screenshots/saves34/342187/SNES--Timon%20%20Pumbaas%20Jungle%20Games_Aug31%2015_27_00.png[/img]

Sound - 6

The sounds are terrible, but I must say I do like the music. It has some pretty catchy tunes. Probably my favorite is the Hippo Hop theme. (video from the Windows 95 version) Sounds good, right? Well, of course! The songs get repetitive after awhile, but I think they sound good at first. Just too bad the sound effects suck so bad.

Gameplay - 6

There are four different minigames you can choose from in the SNES version. I know, it's not a lot, but we'll discuss that later. The first is titled "Burper." Basically, you burp. Sounds weird, but it's really a clever concept. There are things falling from the treetops at you, including but not limited to worms, ladybugs, beetles, and... monkeys? Even weirder, there are kitchen sinks that fall towards you. I assume it's supposed to be a pun on the phrase "Everything but the kitchen sink," but I'm not sure. Anywho, you have three different types of burps. You start with 99 burp points. Without even thinking, at this part in the review I burped. Coincidence of course. Your regular burp is a small burp bullet that uses 1 burp point. Your second burp is much larger and consumes 10 burp points. Your final burp s... Read the rest of this Review
Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge

Speedoman and the Z-Man in the Arcade Binge
I haven't made a review and quite awhile, felt like I should make one again. I'm reviewing the lesser known LJN game, "Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge." I was playing this on my SNES last night when I decided I should review it. Everyone says LJN sucks. I can agree, they do. But this game isn't as bad as you might expect. It's a platformer-ish game that mixes platforming and fighting. Without further ado, the review!

Graphics - 4

The weakest part of the game. The SNES was Nintendo's lovely 16-bit home console. SNES graphics were good. Super Mario World, one of the five launch titles, had great graphics. The Donkey Kong Country series came along with legendary graphics. This game, Spedermon and teh Axe-Men, was released just over one year after the SNES (and Super Mario World and F-ZERO). This game has terrible graphics. I don't even know what 90% of the sprites are supposed to be. No detail.

Sound - 9

Who doesn't like superhero music? It's cool, awesome, and even cool. Do you remember the NES game Silver Surfer? It supposedly sucked, but had great music. The same composer did the songs for this game. I love the music in this game. It does use redundant instruments, but I definitely like how it sounds. Wolverine's level has pretty weird circus music, but it still sounds good. On the other hand, there's almost no songs. Nope. I believe there are only seven songs. Yeah, only seven. That sucks. But hey, they sound good.

Gameplay/Addictiveness - 7

Although it is a very fun game, it doesn't do a good job of pulling you back to play again. Every time you get a game over (aka every 15 minutes) you have to replay some retarded training level where you collect blue beeping diapers for no reason whatsoever. Every single time you die. It takes a long time, it's ridiculously boring, and it just doesn't make any sense. But I really do like the levels. Spiderman is in a ruined city defeati... Read the rest of this Review
Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Supper Sash Bors Bawl
They say there's no perfect game... Actually, probably no one has ever said that. But still, I bet lots of people thought that. Well, those people thought wrong. There is such thing as a perfect game. You're staring at the review of it right now. Because that's right folks, this is Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Nintendo's only best game of all time. All dem Sony fanboys are like, "sony is best but Super Smash Bros. Brawl is my bff," and the XBOX fanboys are like, "hurr durr thats the best game ever but its totally a ripoff of kinect sports." I would buy a Wii just to play this game. It's just that good. Better than Mario Kart Wii. Better than Skyrim. Better than... Dare I say this? Super Smash Bros. Brawl is better than provolone cheese. Mixed with ham and bread. It's just that good (I know I already said that, shush).

OK, so I've basically just ruined the whole review by saying what I think of the game. Not really, actually. Prepare to be blown away by this totally biased awesome review. You may think it's biased, but it's... yeah, it probably is. But it's still awesome.

Graphics - 10

Everything, EVERYTHING with graphics in this game is custom and brand new and stuff. Nope, no ports directly from Melee... I don't really know if that's possible anyways, so ignore that. The graphics of this game are maximum. Highly realistic, no graphical bugs as far as I know, and totally awesome special effects. It's barely even Nintendo since the graphics are so good. I give the graphics a 10, HAH.

Sound - 11

This is the best part. Yup, even better than the gameplay. This game has seven-and-a-half hours of music. That's gotta be a world record, seriously. But it gets even better: Every song (except the ones that are supposed to be ported from Melee) is a remake of older songs. So that means that every single, every single song from the Kirby franchise that's in this game is a brand new orchestra remix. I'm not even ... Read the rest of this Review
WarioWare: Smooth Moves

Tis game be smooooooth~
Ladies and gentleman, let's all give a round of applause for... FadeFace!! (every single person that has ever lived starts clapping so hard that their hands begin to lose flesh and their fingers grow very long so they look like monster hands or something)

Guess what game I'm reviewing? Hamtaro: HamHam Heartbreak The latest game in the WarioWare series (at least I think it is, not including Game & Wario), WarioWare: Smooth Moves! But that's actually sort of depressing, 'cause this game was released in, like, 2007 or something. But whatever. I'm reviewing it anyways because it's awesome.

What the heck is this game? The WarioWare series has odd but humorous games. Each game has at least 100 "microgames," which are basically very short minigames that last about 5 seconds. In this game, for example, there might be a microgame that requires you to point the Wii Remote at the sensor bar and pick someones nose.

All microgames have three difficulty levels (except I think there's two that have four difficulties). An example is a microgame where you plane, which is basically making something fat and/or smooth. The first difficulty requires you to plane a piece of wood to make some skis. The second level requires to to plane further, which will then become train tracks (that doesn't really make sense). The third and final level? It requires you to plane even further. Once you plane the wood enough, it replaces Saturn's rings. Usually the third level has something very silly.

There are multiple levels in the game composed of themed microgames for the storyline of the level. Am I boring you guys yet? Probably not, because the last thing I would do is become boring.

Onto the review! Oh, and I apologize if I run out of creativity. This game is pretty hard to review considering that everything varies so much between microgames.

Graphics - 7...?

Super Mario 3D Land Review
Oh hey. What are you doing here... What's this? Oh, this is a review for Super Mario 3D Land. Oh, OK. Sources tell me that you're apparently supposed to be here. Well, then. Looks like we have a predicament here...

This is TheFadedWarrior with another review. Today I will be reviewing Super Mario 3D Land, the number 3 best selling 3DS game to date (the others being Mario Kart 7 and Pokemon X and Y). It was released as a retail item in 2011 and later ported to a downloadable game in the Nintendo eShop in 2012. You've most likely heard of this game, as it is often known as one of the best Mario games of all time. There was later a somewhat sequel to this game on the Wii U, known as Super Mario 3D World. Now then, onto the review. I hope you enjoy!

Super Mario 3D Land is one of my favorite 3DS games as well as one of my favorite Mario platformers. It was the second 3DS game I ever got and the first that I actually got separately (my first, Ocarina of Time 3D came with my 3DS). I could barely contain my excitement when it got to my house... Heck, I actually didn't contain my excitement. I immediately unwrapped it and stared at the cover art for about 2 minutes. I then proceeded to open it... What if the box was empty? What if the game was broken? I was so worried that my precious game wouldn't be played. Then I saw the cartridge itself. Pure beauty. Another 2 minutes of staring at it. Then I put it in my 3DS and started it up. I listened to Mario singing the little Super Mario 3D Land jingle. I listened to it again. And again. I listened to it at least 10 times when I started giggling nervously. I finally stopped when my cousin got annoyed at me. I started the game...

Graphics - 10

This game, Super Mario 3D Land, has some of the best graphics for the Nintendo 3DS. The visuals are truly amazing. Perfect animations, great performance, and (in my opinion) the best 3D on the entire handheld console. There are tons and tons of textures, s... Read the rest of this Review

Mario Kart Wii Review
Hey, everyone! I'm back again with yet another review. Today, I will be reviewing a great game called Mario Kart Wii, the 6th installment in the Mario Kart series. It's (obviously) for the Nintendo Wii gaming console. This game is highly regarded as one of the best games you can get for your Wii, as well as being the 2nd-best selling Mario game on the entire Wii console. As you may know, this game is an unrealistic racing game. You race across various Mario-styled courses, throwing items and getting hit by some as well. Here we go!

Graphics - 9

The graphics in Mario Kart Wii are definitely some of the best on the console. Everything is smooth, animations are realistic, and the textures are great, even for a Mario game. I have honestly never seen any graphical errors or bugs. Everything is near-perfect. So why not give the graphics a 10? Simply because of the lack of detail and the "cartoony" feel about the game. I give the graphics a 9.

Performance - 10
Online Play Performance - 10

This game performs almost unbelievably well. There is very rarely any lag on the game, even online. If there are multiple items in the same spot as well as an explosion hitting multiple racers, you still won't experience any lag. Mostly due to this, the game will also pretty much never crash. Performance gets a 10.

What about online play? It's probably choppy and poorly made just like Brawl's, right? Wrong. Mario Kart Wii should be all Nintendo companies' role model for online play. No lag, you rarely disconnect from the online server, and if something desyncs then it instantly catches up again. Yeah, it has great online performance. Enough to give it another 10.

Sound/Music - 7

The sound and music in this game is great. The tunes are exactly what you would call "catchy," but at least they don't sound like crap. Each of the 32 race tracks has its own individual soundtrack, as well as the battle stages. Combine those with t... Read the rest of this Review
Super Mario Sunshine

Don't you just love sunshine?
Oh my good gracious, I'm making yet another review for you guys. Today, I'll be reviewing one of the best, and one of the most unique, non-spin-offs in the entire Mario series. Yep, it's Super Mario Moonshine Sunshine! In Super Mario Sunshine, you obviously play as Malleo Mario. But what makes it so unique? First off, it does NOT take place in the Mushroom Kingdom, or even Sarasaland. It takes place on a remote island. Second, the story plot... it's totally different. And majorly, the third reason - The gameplay. Anyhow, you'll hear more later on. Now onto the review!

Graphics - 8.5

This game has really good graphics... pretty much. The draw length is incredible and pretty amazing, since you can see the entire map without moving. It also has minimal lag, contrary to the draw distance. That's worth a couple extra points alone. Then there's effects. The water is pretty much perfect, glimmering very realistically. Also, if you step in goop, every step you take tracks some goop. Then there's the physics of the graphics - Everything is done perfectly. The waves of water, the way goop falls, the realisticness of bouncy things like bridges and rubber wires. However, the details and textures and stuff like that are a teensy bit less than expected. Yeah, they're OK, but some of them are fairly
ugly looking. I give the graphics an 8.5.

Sound - 10.0

It's a Mario game, you're probably going to expect great music that's, sadly, been used in every other Mario game. This game, however, has completely custom music, each tune pretty catchy. As far as I'm concerned, all the tracks in the game are used in no other game, with the exception of Super Smash Bros. Brawl soundtracks and 1 Warioware game (and possibly Mario Power Tennis, but I dunno). The sounds are great as well. They fit everything perfectly and sound pretty... soundy? Anyhow, I give the sound rating an incredible perfect 10.

Metal Arms Glitch in the System

Metal Arms Review
Hey guys! I, TheFadedWarrior, am back with yet another review for you guys. This time I am reviewing one of my favorite games of all time, Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. Metal Arms is a game where you play as a robot named Glitch. It is a shooter game, but a much different shooter game than most. For one, it is unrealistic. Two, it's all robot-based, so the story, gameplay, and weapons are all much different than what you would expect from a regular shooter game. This game is for the Nintendo Gamecube, the Sony Playstation 2, and the Microsoft XBOX. Now, onto the review! I hope you enjoy!

Graphics - 10

I believe this game can show what the Gamecube and the Playstation 2 (but not the XBOX) can really do with the system's graphics engine. Everything is textured well, lots of detail in everything, and some pretty cool special effects when you blow your enemies up. This game truly has amazing graphics for the platforms it is on. The coloring and especially the shading are both very well done. I honestly can't recall ever seeing anything in this game that does not have very good design or graphics. I give the graphics an amazing perfect 10!

Sound - 8

The sound and music tracks of this game are quite good sounding. Each track and noise describes the event happening perfectly. Some of the songs can sound pretty awesome. Here is an example (link). Here is a better example (link). I apologize, but I could not find the full soundtrack. I give the sound a great rating of 8.

One of the things about this game is that the dialogue is supposed to be funny. It is. The enemies ranting hilarious phrases can get annoying sometimes, but when it's not annoying it's pretty funny and entertaining.

Gameplay/Addictiveness - 10

This is one of the single most entertaining games I have ever played. So you're a robot named Glitch and there are all these enemy dudes. There is a medium variety of enemies, but each one is completely... Read the rest of this Review

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Review
Alright! I haven't done a review in awhile (just kidding), so I'll be doing a review of this game, Super Malleo Mario Galaxy 2 for the Nintendo Wii! I hope you enjoy my review. Welp, here goes!

Graphics - 9

Let's start us off with the graphics. The graphics of this game are very good for the Wii. It keeps Mario's "cartoonish" look, but adds more detail. Everything is detailed nicely, all the graphics are smooth looking, the colors of everything fit perfectly, even the names of sprites fit their models (such as Choppas and Magmaws). They almost perfected the textures of everything. The shading is exceptionally good as well. Super Mario Galaxy 2 truly has very good graphics, which is why I give the graphics rating of this game an amazing 9!

Sound - 9

I believe the sound of this game is very well done. Pretty much all of the tunes are catchy, all of the sounds fit what they are coming from, and all of the music tracks fit the area they are placed in. You can tell that lots of the songs are performed by an actual orchestra, rather than a synthesizer or a keyboard or something. The spacey sounds (for the Galaxy theme) sound really cool too. One of my personal favorite tracks of this game is the Space Storm Galaxy theme (link). It sounds mysterious and epic at the same time to me. You can find the full soundtrack here (link). I give the sound another great rating of 9!

Gameplay/Addictiveness - 9

Onto the gameplay now. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a game where you, yes, collect stars. But the main idea behind this game is that everything is space-themed (hence the word 'Galaxy' in the title), so things are a bit different. Instead of having stuff like "Level 1 - Bob-Omb Battlefield" or "World 2-4," or maybe "Noki Bay Episode 1," everything is rather "planet-based." From the main hub world (named Starship Mario, modeled after you-know-who's head), if you step on the platform in front of the steering wheel, it will take you to... Read the rest of this Review

Buck Bumble Review
Sup, dawgz. This is me with another fahhhhbulous review. Today, I'm reviewing a lesser known N64 game called Buck Bumble. Buck Bumble is a shooter game with a twist: You play as a bumblebee and your mission is to destroy wasps. You are Buck Bumble, the coolest bee that ever was. Anyways, time to start off the review.

Graphics - 5

Although this is an early N64 game, I still think the graphics are pretty bad. Crappy textures with bad detail, overuse of the same textures, and excessively small draw distance. You can't see very far at all in the game, and add that to the overuse of textures and you've got yourself levels hard to navigate. You'll be finding yourself trying every path to get back to where you want to be. However, the graphics aren't entirely bad. The animation is pretty smooth overall, and some of the graphics are pretty good. I give the graphics a fairly sad rating of 5.

Sound - inf

DAT THEME SONG.

The game has about 15 tracks that play throughout the game. Fairly small variety there. They're pretty good songs, but not something that would make rainbows spurt out of your ears. But then... DAT THEME SONG. DAT THEME SONG is so amazingly awesome that one time I started to fall into the sky. Then my ears started spurting Deca-Rainbows and I started rapidly hurling pixie dust out of my mouth. Then, all of a sudden, a huge swarm of bees covered my city. All because of DAT THEME SONG. Here's the full OST (Official SoundTrack) starting with DAT THEME SONG (link).

You're probably all like, "DAT THEME SONG isn't even that good." Well, you're wrong. If you play it at full volume with surround sound on full bass with a subwoofer, you'll realize the amazingness. I give the sound infinity. Or at least 8.

Gameplay / Addictiveness - 9

This is where it gets interesting. You play as, yeah, a bumblebee and you, yeah, shoot wasps. So you fly around a small-to-large sized level and shoot wasps that try t... Read the rest of this Review

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Review
Hey everyone! I'm back with, yeah, another review. This time around, I'm reviewing one of my favorite games of all time, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter for the Sony Playstation 2. There is also a port to the Nintendo Gamecube, but I'm only reviewing the PS2 version. This game is obviously a Star Wars game. You play as Jango Fett just before when the second episode of Star Wars takes place, the Attack of the Clones. Your goal in this game is to hunt some of the most wanted bounties in the galaxy. Anyways, onto the review.

Graphics - 8

i suk at reviewing graphics

The graphics of Star Wars Bounty Hunter are pretty good, but not perfect. There are many, many different textures for everything and most of them are detailed pretty well. There is a lot of action at once many times, sometimes having at least 10 enemies shooting at you at the same time. However, it maintains a pretty good job of reducing lag. I very rarely experience lag while playing this game. The animation is also very smooth. Sorry, but I really can't think of anything else to say about this game's graphics. I give the graphics an 8.

Sound - 9

Well, I have 2 words for you: it's Star Wars . The music is really well made, as well as the sound effects. Every track describes the event almost perfectly - Calm/No music when there are no enemies around, epic "oh no!" music when enemies are shooting you, mysterious/mystic music when you're near enemies but they don't see you yet. Pretty much every song is totally awesome. The sound effects are pretty cool as well. I give the sound a 9.

Gameplay/Addictiveness - 8.5

This is by far the best part of the game. So, yeah, you're a bounty hunter. Your main goal is, well, to hunt bounties. There's a few major bounties you go hunting for in the game, and each of them have henchmen dudes that try to kill you. You, however, have an awesome arsenal. You have 2 custom guns for Jango, some Kamino Saberdarts (extremely dea... Read the rest of this Review
Kingdom Hearts II
01-01-14 12:39 PM
KH2 Review
Hey again! I'm back with yet another review, this time on the game Kingdom Hearts 2, made by Square Enix and Buena Vista Games for the Sony Playstation 2. Kingdom Hearts 2 is the 3rd installment in the series, and the 2nd installment in the Dark Seeker Saga (the main series). You play as a 15-year-old boy named Sora who is chosen to wield a blade in the shape of a key, known as the Keyblade. He fights a massive variety of enemies with this blade. I'm not sure if Kingdom Hearts 2 would be classified as an RPG or not, but whatever. Onto the review! I hope you enjoy!

Graphics - 9

The graphics of this game aren't meant to be realistic. They are rather meant to be like the Mario series, where the graphics are supposed to be sorta of "toony,"  but not look like a cartoon. The graphics of this game are amazing. The shading is done very well, the objects that are meant to be more realistic are textured very well, and the effects n' stuff are pretty awesome. All the animation is near-perfect, very smooth, and very realistic (such as when your character is running). Remember how I said the effects are pretty awesome? It has some of the coolest explosions, darkness swarms, etc. I have ever seen in a video game. We'll be starting off the review by giving the graphics a 9.

Sound - 10

The sound in this game is simply amazing. The sounds fit the event they match with very well, and sound pretty cool sometimes. The music, though... Oh dear sweet baked potatoes. The music tracks are amazing. I mean seriously, it's made by Square Enix, what do you expect? Some of the music is beautiful, and wants to make you cry. Some of the music is sad, and makes you feel a sorrow in yourself. Some of the music is epic, and makes you feel awesome. One of the enemy types in this game has some totally awesome organ music to fit all of its... everything. I wrote myself a list of best music tracks from the series (most of which comes from this exact installment... Read the rest of this Review
Action 52

Underrated Games - Action 52
This is TFW here with another review. This time, I'm reviewing Action 52 for the NES. Most people think this game is horrible. I think It's fairly good. It comes with 52 minigames. The only real downside about this game is the fact that it costs, well, $200. 52 fairly small games for $200. That has to be the most stupid idea I have ever heard of. And $200 back when this game came out is more than $200 is now. Alright, let's start the review!

Graphics

The graphics are somewhat inferior to other games on the console. There are some games that have bad graphics, like Ooze, and there are some games that have fairly good graphics, like Cheetahmen. However, in Cheetahmen, depth perception does not exist. You can never tell if you're below or in the middle of a pit. Seeing as some graphics are bad and some are fairly good, I give the graphics section of this game a 6. 
­

Sound

The sound of this game is, erm, less than I expected. It sounds ringy even for an NES game. The sounds are pretty bad, but the tuns are kinda catchy. Once I get the Cheetahmen theme stuck in my head, it's tough for me to get it out. Here is the Cheetahmen theme and here is the full soundtrack from the game. I was going to give the sound a 5.5, but seeing as I can't do decimals, I'll give it a 6 because I'm cool.

Gameplay/Addictiveness

Mmh, the gameplay is always fun to describe. There are 52 games in the cartridge that you can play. Each game is almost completely different than the rest. Aaand, it just hit me. There are 52 games that are completely different that I would have to describe. I guess I'll just go ahead and describe a few.
Ooze is an action / adventure game where you try to avoid ooze dripping from the ceiling onto your head. If you get hit, you die. Oh, and you shoot pickles that are in your path.
Cheetahmen is possibly the best game on the cartridge. It's one of the longest, the funnest, and ... Read the rest of this Review
Sunset Riders
04-25-13 06:56 PM
Awesome name, awesome game
Hello again. This is TheFadedWarrior with another review. This time I am reviewing Sunset Riders for the Sega Genesis. Sunset Riders has been ported from the Sega Genesis to the Super NES and Arcade systems, so keep in mind that this is ONLY a review on the Genesis port. I hope you enjoy!

My Ratings

1 - TERRIBLE
2 - Really bad
3 - Bad
4 - Below average
5 - Average
6 - Average
7 - Above average, pretty good
8 - Great
9 - Near perfect
10 - Super-Mega-Ultimate

Graphics

Alright, my review will start of with the graphics of this game. The detail isn't exactly amazing, but they are above average for the Sega Genesis. The animation isn't creepy looking (like in the Mortal Kombat series), which is nice I guess. I apologize, but this is honestly all that I can think of to say about the graphics. But don't worry, the rest of the review will have much more detail. I give the graphics a 7.

Sound

Ah, yes, the sound. The music in this game sound pretty good, in my opinion. The tune of the first level can get stuck in your head for awhile, so watch out. The complete OST (official soundtrack) can be found in this Youtube Playlist (link). However, I have 1 minoe complaint. The sounds that are played in the game... are pretty horrible sounding. When you kill an enemy, it sounds like a motorcyclist with a light voice that is heavily into drugs. Yes, a light-voiced motorcyclist on drugs. It really does. I give the sound a 7.

Gameplay and Addictiveness

Mmmh, the easiest and my personal favorite section to describe, the gameplay/addictiveness.  This game is a lot like Contra, but with a Western setting. Every time you get shot, you die, and you have a limited number of lives. So, in Sunset Riders, you can play as 1 of 2 cowboys. The first cowboy you can play as is Billy. Billy carries one of those old-fashioned cowboy pistols. Lame! The second cowboy you can play as,... Read the rest of this Review
Donkey Kong Country 3 - Dixie Kong\'s Double Trouble!
04-24-13 06:30 PM
Donkey Kong Country 3 Review
Hey, yo, what do ya know. It's another review from me today! This time I am going to be writing my review on "Donkey Kong Country 3 - Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!", which is, obviously, the 3rd and last (not including DKC Returns) game in the Donkey Kong Country series. Surprisingly, this is only the second review for this game. I hope you read my review and enjoy reading it.

Graphics

Alright, we're gonna start off with the graphics. This is another Super Nintendo Entertainment System game that has great graphics for the console it's on. The game's graphics are not to pixelated, which is nice. You can see good detail in everything you look at, from the Kong Family's fur to the backgrounds. The 3D elements in the game also look great. The animation also looks pretty good too, with a lot of frames so it doesn't look all creepy or whatever. For a final note, the palettes are wide, each containing both dull and bright colors. I give the graphics an 8.

Sound

The sound in this game is really good, too. The sound quality is great, and each music piece perfectly describes the level that it's in. In my opinion, Rare Ltd. made some of the best video game music of its time, especially in the Banjo-Kazooie series and the Donkey Kong Country series. There are many differences in the GBA version's and the SNES version's tunes. There are even some songs that are completely different in one version compared to the other. Here is the full original soundtrack and here is my favorite song. I give the sound another 8.

Gameplay/Addictiveness

The gameplay in this game is great. The game is, as you probably already know, a platformer. You play as some type of primate (not a donkey, most likely an ape), and you have a partner you can switch to any time by pressing select. You can play as Dixie Kong, a female primate that looks like a chimpanzee (which is actually a primate). Her special ability is her ability to... Read the rest of this Review

Mario & Wario (SNES) Review
Yet another review this week by me (6th review in total, 4th this week, 1st this day). If you haven't already guessed, I'm trying to get 750 Contribution Points. If you get 750 CP by the end of the month, you become Site Staff, but seeing as I'm only 12 (according to COPPA, you need to be 13 to have power over the site), I'm rather trying to get 750 CP to become Vizzed Elite. Anyways, this time my review is about Mario & Wario, a great game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. I hope you enjoy reading my review and play the game for yourself!

Graphics

For a Super Nintendo, this game has great graphics. Everything is less pixelated than most SNES games, so pretty much everything looks really smooth (again, at least for its era). The animation is pretty good as well. I give the graphics an 8.

Sound

The sound is the worst part, in my opinion. I mean, don't get me wrong, it sounds a little above average for the SNES, but the tunes aren't really catchy. A few of the music pieces annoy me, as well. The sound effects are nice, though. I give the sound a 6.

Gameplay/Addictiveness

First, I should tell you that only this version works if you don't have a USB controller. The reason for this is because on the original SNES, you need the mouse controller (which is why there are also 2 ROMs on Vizzed for Mario Paint).

This is the part of the game that makes it unique. I have never seen any other game on any other gaming console like this. You play as some angel (or fairy, I really don't have a clue) that has a magic wand that can do... magic things. You have to help a Mario series character that has a bucket on their head to get to the finish. Your angel or fairy or whatever apparently can't touch the character, so you can't take the bucket off of their head yourself, so you have to guide them to Luigi. You have to turn them around with your wand, but mostly, you have to activate certain blocks a... Read the rest of this Review

Gunstar Heroes Review
Welcome to this faaahhbulous review thread. It's me, TheFadedWarrior again with my 5th review in total (and my 2nd review this day, Avenging Spirit being the first). I am going to review the well-known game Gunstar Heroes. I hope you enjoy! I warn you that this review has a really weird writing style

Graphics

For a Sega Genesis, these graphics are pretty good. You look at other Genesis games, and they have good graphics for the current era. But then, there's those select games, such as Gunstar Heroes, that have great graphics for the era. There's all this cool gunfire flashing on the screen, with these armored dudes that shoot you and stuff. So, yeah. off to a bad review start I give the graphics an 8.

Sound

I really like the music and sounds in this game. The sounds your character make are pretty annoying ("Hwuh!"), but when you listen to the music, you're like, "Oh, this is rather pleasant sounding, mhm." My personal favorite tune is the music you hear in Black's Palace (the board game). You can find the full OST (official soundtrack) here. It all sounds pretty good, amirite? I give the sound another 8.

Gameplay/Addictiveness

Gunstar Heroes is a game where you play as a seemingly 14-year-old kid with a gun. It's sort of like Contra, but a lot easier and with vitality, rather than lives.

There are 4 main gun types - Energy, Lightning, Chaser, and Flame. Energy is a rapidfire baster that is basically just a normal machine-gun. This is pretty much an all-rounder gun. Lightning is a thin laser that pierces through your enemies, so you can hit many with one shot. This is helpful if you're fighting a group of enemies. Chaser is a gun that shoots homing particles of energy (which I am going to call bullets from now on). This is helpful if you are too lazy to aim. It's pretty powerful, too. And finally, Flame is a gun that's basically a flamethrower, as it has little range. This is useful in cl... Read the rest of this Review
Avenging Spirit
04-23-13 05:27 PM
Avenging Spirit
Hello, this is TheFadedWarrior with another review (my 4th review). I am going to be reviewing an underrated video game for the Nintendo GameBoy called Avenging Spirit. I hope you read my review and enjoy it!

Graphics

Although I'm not an expert with the GameBoy, this game has pretty good graphics. I've seen clips of other games, so this isn't just a guess. The title screen logo is great looking, and so is pretty much the rest of the game. I give the grphics an 8.

Sound

The tunes of this game are pretty good, in my opinion. Since its on the Nintendo GameBoy, the ringing of the noises and the weird "pvhv" sounds (which you probably don't know what I'm talking about) get kind of annoying, but that doesn't affect the rating, since all GameBoy games are like that. The first 12 videos on this dude's channel are the complete OST (official soundtrack) of the game. My personal favorite song in this game is Stage 4: The Sewer, but all of the songs in this game get kind of repetitive. I give the sound an 8.

Gameplay/Addictiveness

The gameplay of this game is totally awesome. If you've ever played as Ghost Kirby in Kirby: Squeak Squad! and loved it, then you'll probably love this whole game. You play as a ghost that can control your enemies. There's a fairly wide variety of enemies to control, so you never get bored. There's a ninja, a magic flying kitten thingy, a fire-breathing kangaroo, a mafia dude, a fighter, and a load more. Each enemy has its own advantage (slowfall, fire-breath, moon jump). You have an energy meter (E) and a life meter (L). You can only stay a ghost for so long, and when your energy meter runs empty, you fail the level. When you take control of one of your enemies, the energy meter stops draining, and whenever you get hit, your life meter drains. When your life meter runs empty, you turn back into a ghost, and your energy meter starts draining again. Because of all this, any player of this ... Read the rest of this Review

Borderlands 2 Build Guide: Zer0
Heyo! I plan to make a class guide for every Borderlands 2 character (unless I get bored of it). I made a Krieg guide yesterday, which you can find here --

Oh wait...

Yeah, I spent 3-ish hours on it and accidentally deleted it. But this time I'll make sure I back it up every once in awhile.

Today we're going to be going over Zer0 the Assassin. I will give tips for each of his skills, as well as provide builds for certain levels. Zer0's skill trees are Sniping, Cunning, and Bloodshed. The Sniping skill tree is mostly self-explanatory, but it also focuses a lot on critical hit damage. The Cunning tree is based on making Decepti0n stronger and giving small bonuses to both melee and gun damage. Finally, the Bloodshed tree is focused entirely on boosting Zer0's melee damage. Without further ado, his skills:

Sniping
Headsh0t - +4% Critical Hit Damage per level. - Very simple skill. You can get +40% crit damage with a Legendary Hunter or Sniper class mod. I'd definitely take this if you're good at aiming.

0ptics - +3% Zoom and +12% Aim Steadiness (reduces aim disruption when taking damage) per level. - The more zoom you have, the further away from enemies you have to stand to snipe. The aim steadiness also isn't that big of a bonus. There's no real problem with taking this skill, but you might as well take Headsh0t instead because it's better.


Killer - Kill Skill. Killing an enemy gives you +10% Critical Hit Damage and +15% Reload Speed per level for a few seconds. - The bonuses you get from this skill is quite significant. I would definitely put at least 4 points into this skill if you're going for a sniper build. At 5 points you get +50% crit damage and +75% reload speed. You'll be reloading your sniper rifle almost instantly!

Precisi0n - +5% Accuracy per level. - Very small accuracy boost. You probably wouldn't even notice the bonus unless you're using assault rif... Read the rest of this Guide

Borderlands 2 Class Overview
Presenting the sequel to my character guide for Borderlands 1 (http://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=94623)!!! Same as before, I will talk about each character's trees, strengths, weaknesses, and tips to play as them. I am also including the DLC characters, Krieg and Gaige.

Axton - The Commando
Action Skill - Sabre Turret
Playstyle - Close combat/Non-elemental

Axton is similar to Roland from the first Borderlands game. They both have a turret as their action skill, and they both work best with non-elemental assault rifles. Of course, they can't be all the same. Axton's skill trees are Guerrilla (turret bonuses), Gunpowder (grenades and rocket launchers), and Survival (health and shields). The Survival tree is very useful for when you are on the brink of death. You can have bonuses to your damage while in Fight For Your Life, having a chance to gain half your health back instead of dying, and gain extra reload speed when your health is low. The capstone allows you to deploy two Sabre Turrets, allowing for maximum coverage. This can be extremely useful for large groups of enemies, but also for one-on-one.

Axton's next skill tree, Gunpowder, is all about fire rate and grenades. The ability called Metal Storm largely boosts your fire rate and recoil reduction when you kill an enemy. You can literally have over double fire rate with the right class mod, which I find extremely useful for almost any type of weapon. Another great ability is Longbow Turret, which allows you to deploy your turret almost anywhere. See a group of enemies off in the distance? Deploy your turret all the way over there for some free experience! This is also good in co-op if you respawn far away from the battle and your buddy needs some help. Another amazing ability is Do or Die, which allows you to throw grenades while in Fight For Your Life. This can be extremely useful with any grenade mods, especially Bouncing Betties or Singularity Grenades. The capstone... Read the rest of this Guide

Borderlands Class Overview
If you're new to Borderlands or if you haven't tried all the classes yet, you may be wondering... "Which class is best for me?" Well you've come to the right place! I will be doing a guide for each of the playable classes in the first Borderlands game (and eventually the other games). I will include their playstyle, their potential, and some tips for playing as them! Here we go!

Mordecai - The Hunter
Action Skill - Bloodwing
Playstyle - Sniper/Melee

Mordecai's playstyle is built around getting critical hits. His skill trees are Gunslinger (pistols/melee), Rogue (Bloodwing), and Sniper (self-explanatory). For his action skill, Mordecai throws out his pet hawk named Bloodwing. Bloodwing will swoop down once on a single enemy, dealing large damage. At first sight, this may seem like the most useless action skill in the game. But through the Rogue skill tree, you can massively upgrade Bloodwing. A fully-leveled player can make Bloodwing's damage doubled and have her attack 6 times, restoring your health and lowering enemy accuracy each time she hits.

Mordecai's Sniper skill tree is obviously about sniping, but not completely. Some abilities include bonus sniper rifle damage, gaining extra experience with critical hits, and increasing accuracy. However, the capstone (ultimate ability) of this tree gives you a 20% chance to completely bypass enemy shields. This can be upgraded to a 100% chance. While not all enemies have shields early on, by the time you can get this ability most of the tougher enemies have shields... Shields that don't help them at all! There is also an ability called Carrion Call that can be maxed to make it so any time you hit with a sniper rifle, 4 seconds of Bloodwing's cooldown is reduced. This can be combined with the Rogue skill tree for some massive bird damage!

Finally, Mordecai's Gunslinger skill tree is quite varied. It is my personal favorite to use. Some abilities include shooting two bullets with... Read the rest of this Guide

Super Mario 3D Land Star Coin Guide - Special Worlds 5-8
This is it, folks. The grand finale. The end of an era. The final part of my guide to getting every star coin in Super Mario 3D Land. I'm kind of rushing through this, so things may be a bit undescriptive. Deal with it. I apologize, but... yeah. I hope I help you!

Part 1 - Worlds 1-4
Part 2 - Worlds 5-8
Part 3 - Special Worlds 1-4
Part 4 - You're reading it.
Part 5 - Special World 9 and How to Unlock

And now... It's time to finish this once and for all!

S-5

Special 5-1 - The first coin might be seen by you while you're playing. It's high above a red platform. There should be 4 blocks against the wall. The second has a Statue Leaf, so you might want that. Anyhow, just on top of the blocks then onto the platform behind them. Jump off the platform onto the red platforms and hopefully you'll get the star coin. You know how just past the halfway flag there are a whole bunch of large spike ball generators? Go past the first few until you have to go up the stairs. When you get to the top, walk onto the blue platform, but go left. You'll see the star coin with a generator right behind it. The last coin is really easy. Near the end of the level you'll see it above 2 red platforms. Jump onto the blue platform to the side, then jump once more onto the red platform. Keep going until you get to the edge and grab the coin.

Special 5-2 - Go through the level like normal until you get to the big red ! block. Hit it three times and jump up the newly created stairs ito the first star coin. Go just past the halfway flag until you see the star coin on your right. Jump onto the donut bridge to collect the coin, then carefully jump back. The final coin is above a spike platform. Jump onto the platform (make sure you time it correctly) and jump once more to collect the last star coin in this level.

Hello! It's me, TheFadedWarrior, and today I am going to be writing the 3rd part of my Super Mario 3D Land Walkthrough. I will be covering the star coins in the Special Worlds 1-4. I hope I assist you in getting 100% completion!

Part 1 - Worlds 1-4
Part 2 - Worlds 5-8

The best powerup you can have is Tanooki Mario/Kitsune Luigi. Why? Simply because you can slowfall. On the other hand, a few of these require you to be Fire Mario/Luigi.
Some of these coins are very frustrating to get and may require many, many spare lives. Go to the section a little past halfway in world 1-2 with all the koopas. Stand on top of the first item block and walk down off the edge onto the Koopa. Stop walking. You should be constantly bouncing off of the shell and be getting 1-ups rapidly.

Without further ado, the 3rd part of my guide!

Wall jump off of that wall, slowfall back to it, wall jump once more, and slowfall onto the top. Jump on top of the block there and jump one final time for the first coin. Once you get near the very top of the tower, you should see the second star coin. Bounce off of the small moving bouncy platform to get the coin. For the final coin, go below the end flag. See that small pathway? Take it to the floating platform with the star coin on the side of it.

Special 1-2 - I believe this is the first Shadow Mario level? At the section where Shadow Mario first forms, you should see a large block consisted of smaller crumbling blocks. At the top of this collection of p... Read the rest of this Guide
