Ask me things or something

I am new, so just ask me any questions you can think of and I will probably answer

I don't think any Wario game had lives except the VB one, so I don't see why they'd add lives tbh. I think life systems are useless in this day and age too, so I don't see too much of a point in them. Well, unless your game has to be beaten in one sitting like, say, Virtual Boy Wario Land.

When I said life, I was actually talking about health. But I actually really like life systems in platformers, it makes you more self-conscious about your actions instead of just doing whatever without consequences, implying that your levels have lives within them.

As for another reason why I feel Tiny Wario is worse, it's for the reason you listed. It feels unpowerful. It just doesn't feel like the badass, macho treasure hunter I know and love. I could imagine him getting pushed away and then returning, because he's not giving up, but seeing Wario so tiny and weak isn't too fun, especially in a boss fight where garlic isn't an option :(

I guess that's an argument but at least being turned small is an actual punishment for your mistakes that makes the game harder, I care more for the gameplay than characterization (though both are important). Not just some minor incovenience that slows you down more than anything. That's why I don't like the immortal gimmick : the enemies don't make the game harder, they just slow you down, in a game where time attack isn't the point.

Idk, life systems just seem kind of silly to me when it comes to anything with save files. Like you can't tell me Super Mario Sunshine really has much reason to have lives when the only consequence to losing all of them is pretty much the same as losing one, just a loss in progress. I can see lives in something like Virtual Boy Wario Land, where you do literally have to beat it in a sitting, but if it's a game where you select the levels yourself, lives are really pointless at the end of the day aside from making it take slightly longer to select the level you died in.

Fair perspective, but I do like what the enemies add to the game with Wario being immortal. The silly things where you have to let Wario get his ass burnt, or stuff where you have to let a certain enemy flatten your ass are fun to me. Then again, that's in Wario Land 4, but you're not invulnerable there. I do think the weird enemy reactions did stem from Wario being invulnerable though.

It depends on the game really, I'd say Sunshine doesn't need a Game Over system since it has very few checkpoints and is a more open game but when it comes to a linear game like Mario Galaxy, lives do make a difference. If you just try a section over and over again without worrying about Game Over than obviously you're gonna beat it, you'll just do whataver not being careful because you know you can try as much as you want.

Wario Land needing a life system would depend on what the game is. Wario Land 3 ? No need for lives since it's more focused on exploaration. Wario Land 4, it doesn't have any checkpoints so it wouldn't make a difference. But something like the Classic Sonic games absolutely needs a life system. Else you're just stuck with a mindless game.

1. I think she was a neat concept, was definitely a lot different than what anyone was expecting considering one would have expected her to be really really fucking ugly, but she was actually super cute.
2. I've played Brawl, 4, and Ultimate. I usually main R.O.B., he's awesome.
3. I love cucumbers!
4. I eat a fair bit of foods from companies, so I can't say I dislike the stuff.
5. I do draw a fair bit, I'll attach an old drawing from 2019 that I did of the Icon of Sin from Doom II. Refer to it below. Could definitely do better these days, but it's the closest thing I could find.
6. Last Christmas was nice, I got a computer.
7. Not much to report on the New Year's Eve though haha
