Was Super Mario 64 from the point of view of Lakitu?
It obviously fucking was.
Are you a retard?
No, it was from his camera
No. It was from the point of view of his camera.
But who is recording Lakitu in the intro?
>>246148191
Beat me to it
>>246148032
Yes, he is the game camera. They show you this in the first 5 minutes.
Super Mario 64 was Lakitu's take on the Mushroom Kingdom.
>>246148032
Actually, it was from the point of view of the camera he was holding
Now that I think about, first person look doesn't make much sense in this game.
It was from the point of his camera
>>246148032
Why was Lakitu suddenly not a bad guy?
>>246148032
But if Lakitu is on-screen in OP's pic...then who is camera
>>246148216
deepest lore
>>246148229
And in the mirror room, don't forget the mirror room
>>246148216
>>246148216
he's holding a mirror
>>246148349
Because Lakitus are a species, and not all of them are dicks.
>>246148032
You can switch cameras. At the bottom right the icon changes from Lakitu to Mario.
This, however:
>>246148216
remains a mystery
>>246148216
>>246148314
It's there to let you take stock of your surroundings. What doesn't make sense is Press R to see nothing but Mario's back.
Lakitu was just recording footage for his documentary.
>>246148370
DEEPEST. LORE.
Is the real mario dead?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRozarc1kSo
>>246148612
I mean how is Lakitu able to record Mario's vision.
Now was Lakitu helping Mario? Or was he spying on him for Bowser?
>>246148216
>>246148216
It's a Lakitu recording the Lakitu, essentially like a guy watching a let's player, who in turn is watching the main character beat the game.
>>246148749
He doesn't, the camera just changes from Lakitu's camera to Mario's eyes.
>>246148705
Each extralife is a new, separate Mario.

Doesn't Lakitu state that the Lakitu BROS. will be covering all of the events in the castle?
>>246149032
Good point.
>>246148890
Like in The Prestige?
What if he was actually a double agent spying on Mario for Bowser in order to track his progress?

>this game was a stage play
>>246149304
>the only NES game that actually happened was 1
>>246148867
well shit
>>246148652
This picture doesn't make sense. If the camera is the viewpoint of the player, then the position of the camera is wrong since we clearly see Lakitu on the left side, pointing the camera slightly to the right where Mario is. Even taking into account the angle it doesn't add up.
Which meansMario is being haunted by the spirit of Luigi, who is being held prisoner by the stars power, which is why he doesn't show up in the game.Once Mario defeats Bowser and gets the big star,Luigi is freed and can finally materialize again.This also explains whyLuigi wins a haunted mansion: He is connected to the spirit realm, which tries to win him over.It also explainsLuigi's fear of many things, he suspects otherwordly interference in everything and has thus become paranoid.
Truly this is the Evangelion of vidya.

The original Mario died during his adventures. Mario gets constantly replaced with clones, and so it seems like he has never aged.

Mario didn't fight the original DK. Jumpman did.

Yeah, that game is just the experience of reading the book the Yoshis made. That's why all the Yoshis are playable, why it's all about just eating fruit, andthat's why it isn't very good because Yoshis aren't that good at making games.

Yes clouds are like sponges that abosrb water, that's why when it is cloudy, clouds are full of water, and they start leaking and that's the rain.

And who the fuck is Stanley from Donkey Kong 3?

All the Yoshis are playable in Yoshi's Island, too. They pass Mario between each other like a relay race.

Italian restaurants have Italian-style pizza. But they're nice sit down affairs, not delivery joints. What you're doing is like saying that American burgers are all shit because the ones you get at fast food are shit. If you go to an actual NICE restaurant you get NICE food.

italian pizza is disgusting. we made it 100x better in america.
>>246156050
Because you should name your "pizza" something that resembles it more, like pepperoni bread pie.
You americans have a thing with using wrong names and appropriating of something else because you feel like copying a hip name.
>>246156257
Having taste buds accustomed to shit doesn't mean it's '100x' better.
>>246156282
Italians brought pizza to America. It evolved over time.
>>246156282
>pizza has to have pepperoni
I don't think you realize that all pizza is just a bread pie.
>>246156076
>if we put toppings that have the color of the italian flag, it's italian pizza
Fucking frauds

I never called it an Italian pizza, and FYI Ray's was started by an Italian immigrant and made pizzas the same way since the 60s.
>>246156514
Their pizza looks extremely flat and lacking in substance.

>Europeans complaining about Americans appropriating things
Boo-hoo, we made pizza different and didn't change the name. Do you not know about Europe's long history of being full of empires trying to conquer the entire world all the time?
>>246156282
>Italian so angry all he has to brag about is pizza
I'm sure that there's other good things there than pizza, no? Or is that all you have? :^)

Italy's "nice sit-down" pizza restaurants are comparable to american's lowest tier fast foods. The prices are also comparable.
Why do you guys have third world country eating habits? Aren't you swimming in money? In here, only 8 year olds who ditched school and hobos eat at fast foods.
>>246156835
Yes, Rome once conquered everything that was known to man at the time, and I don't see a quarter of the world being called "italy" or derivative now, you fucking americunts.

>Italy's "nice sit-down" pizza restaurants are comparable to american's lowest tier fast foods
So your sit down dinner is our shitty quick meal?
>>246156872
>Italy's "nice sit-down" pizza restaurants are comparable to american's lowest tier fast foods.
So you're saying that all restaurants in Italy are shit? If the nice sit-down restaurants are comparable to the lowest tier of American fast-food, that would mean that the LESS nice, NON-sit-down restaurants must be even worse than that, right?

How low of a point must your life be at for you to type that sentence on an anonymous imageboard and not do a double take after reading it before closing your browser and going outside?
I'm not even involed in this idiocy but you just jumped the shark something fierce.

what's that?

Nope, there are even higher tier of restaurants. The pizza restaurants are low tier shit, something that is top-class where you live.
I feel sorry for you.
>>246157023
No, Rome conquered those countries and let them keep their names, but forced Roman laws and culture on them. Just like how we Americans took pizza, changed it, and kept the name.
See? You're the same as us. Except you rape entire cultures and we only rape some food items.

It's exactly because I'm on an anonymous imageboard that I can say this without a care in the world.

How about the Romance languages, Little Italies all over the US, etc? How about bologna, Neopolitan ice cream, Genoa salami?
Fuck off.

>The pizza restaurants are low tier shit, something that is top-class where you live.
>top class food is the equivalent of American fast food
Why do American's have such low standards?
>>246157339
All food that you jelly americunts brought over centuries later because you have no valuable food to eat.
>>246157473
I meant in terms of price, obviously not food quality.
I've been to a bunch of "italian restaurants" in america, treated like they were hot, high class shit, and they sucked major dicks compared to what we have.
Why are your food standards so low?
>>246157278
>The pizza restaurants are low tier shit, something that is top-class where you live.
Jesus Christ, you have zero reading comprehension.
Pizza joints are a couple notches above fast food. If you want authentic Italian-style pizza, you have to go to a sit down restaurant. There are also plenty of tiers of sit-down restaurants, but maybe this is too complex a concept for you.
