Upcoming Game Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions (October 6th 2017)
- Thread starter TB100
- Start date
So apparently when you get a huge combo in the barrel minigame (in the GBA version) this guy appears:
It's a skeleton sprite that's veeeery similar to the stalfos sprites from the first Zelda.
When you get a not-as-big combo a chain chomp skeleton (Dry Chomp?) appears:
And when you clear a lot of lines in practice mode Bink needs to take a break and eat a banana:
I wonder if any of these things are still in the 3DS version. Can anyone check it out? I don't have the game yet.

That's a really interesting question to be honest. I'm curious about the exact same thing, especially given how I wrote about it in an article a while ago.
The Boos have unsurprisingly been hit with the generic stick again.
On the GBA they had different expressions like this:
...or this...
...or this...
...or this...
Which is a callback to Super Mario World and its Boos with their whacky expressions.
On the 3DS they basically just have these:
Weren't the different expressions a way to see which Bro is gonna be attacked? Why did they scrap that?
This game (kind of) had them too. So why not have them?

It's one of the best fanart I've ever seen in my life and I know? I commented on it. lolWhen you want something done right... well I said that already.
Whatcha think?
Nope. It's gone. I just checked. All 3 easter eggs are gone and replaced with NOTHING. Nought. Zilch. Garnix.
AND YOU CAN'T EVEN PLAY PRACTICE MODE ANYMORE!
What they call practice is just the tutorial again.
That's a huge shame since I loved playing endless practice mode. You could just sit back, relax and not have to think about a time limit or a high score.
It was pretty zen.
BUT NOW IT'S GONE!!!

Not surprising. Unfortunately, it seems all the neat 'extras' the original game had are gone or toned down here.
But why take out the practice mode?
It's just the regular mode without a timer and the high-score system. It doesn't require any extra work. Just a few small tweaks.
Removing characters is one thing, removing easter eggs is another thing, but removing a small but really nice play mode in a minigame?
...That's ...that's just wrong.
Okay, you or someone should seriously consider doing a rom hack of the remake
With your stuff added in when it becomes possible, @ShyGuyXXL because all of these custom sprites you've been doing has been wonderful and honestly blows the remake's effort out of the water. (Even though a lot of it is not their fault and is simply because of Nintendo's current mandates and that's not saying the remake is bad by any means.) As you kept true to the charm and soul of the original game while at the same time, updating what's necessary and modernizing it
Seriously, wonderful job!

Thank you very much! I'm glad people like them.
And yeah, I wanted to draw them in a way that captures the personality of the original but also doesn't look out of place in a modern game.
If someone was here who's familiar with 3DS Romhacking and knows how to include stuff like this, I'd be happy to work with them!
I don't have any idea how to do it. I've never even looked into 3DS emulation.
But if someone knows how...
