Huh, Bowser's had new voice clips for this game. Why is it that he's the only one who changes when the Sonic cast does?

Edit: Charmy makes even more comparisons to Sonic, saying that he's fast just like him. My Charmy interpretation looks eerie now...

EDIT: The Mario Wiki has the 3DS version listed as having a Story Mode. I don't know if that's completely true, but if anyone does have details let us know.

Yeah, it's true. It was revealed back in July.

So Amazon has a pretty great deal going for this game right now. They have it marked down from $49.99 to $37.99 with $10 in bonus credit for ordering. So when all is said and done you're really only paying $27.99 for the game.

I wonder if this is just Amazon being their usual fantastic selves, or if the game needed that extra sales incentive because no one was buying it.

This game has so much fanservice, I can't help but want to play it.

;w;

Okay Espio, now you're just spouting bullshit. Ninjas can walk on water my ass.

I demand to see Shadow doing the ribbon!

Werehog Suit

Sega....I-i'm flattered....

Even though the suits will probably look awkward, I'm greatful they remember it existed.

I find Eggman's special move for the Dream Long Jump strange. Think about it.

Waluigi steals Eggman's special move for this event because Eggman had the "flap your arms crazily to fly through the air move" from the DS version of Winter Olympic Games. Wario now does the same thing.

So you would think that Eggman would have Waluigi's Swimming move from the same game as a trade-off, right?

Nope. Eggman this time around steals Yoshi's Flutter Jump.

Therefore Eggman is a Yoshi that hasn't hatched. That moustache is just stylish mold that has grown on the shell.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what are suits? Are they reskins? Do they come with voice acting? What?

Meh, you get the Chip suit if you play for 5 hours in the Single Event Mode.

[SchemingMinor]

Suits are full body suits of characters that up your Mii's stats with that character in mind. They are like skins but with your Mii's face - basically like a parka.

For example, an Eggman suit will up your Mii's stats in Skills and Acceleration, but might nudge it down in Max Speed.

No, there are no VAs for the suits. That would be neat and creepy at the same time.

Heh. I wonder if PETA are aware that there were two Mario games released this month where you can wear a raccoon.

A Chip Suit, too? Haha, that is all kinds of awesome! They really outdid themselves with the extra costumes this time. All we need now are Tikal, Chaos, Gamma, Egg Robo, and E-10000 Suits and every single last recurring playable character from a Sonic Team game in the past 20 years will be playable in Suit form.

Roy Suit - Answer 50 questions correctly on the London Party mission quizzes.

Lemmy Suit - Answer 100 questions correctly on the London Party mission quizzes.

It's a Koopaling invasion!

Edit: Also this game says that Eggman Nega is from another dimension, but you don't give a shit about that.

Edi-WTF another question says that he's Eggman's descendent from the future too!

Edit edit edit edit: So this Shy Guy has never seen a Goomba bite, but knows about Yo'ster Isle? What.

Tikal? Awesome sauce, we've got more bases covered. Heck, maybe in the future we could have more playable characters, I mean most people complain about lack of female characters. Here are your answers.

[HunterTSF]

Just found the Tikal suit, 'fraid I don't think there's any more Sonic costumes. :<

As of now there are nine unlockable Sonic Suits. That's an odd number, so I'll go out on a limb and assume there is one Suit left to make it an even ten. Wonder who it will be?

All of this fanservice in the form of suits is fantastic though. They're really covering every base they can with this one.

Edited November 19, 2011 by HunterTSF

[Your Vest Friend]

Ah, Hunter, nine is a very even number for this game. You see, you get the costumes in triplets, with the triplet being focused around a certain objective (Total played time is one triplet, placing first in normal events is another etc). I'm highly suspicious of having missed a Mario triplet somewhere, but I'd hedge my bets on having found all the Sonic suits.

[Vec]

We got Eggman footage, even Shadow...but...where's mah Vector doing...erm...whatever event?
