Why do Goombas only walk to the left when they're born?
>>338024110
How were you supposed to know to jump on the goomba?
>>338024308
Because it kills you if you touch it. You either jump to avoid it or kill it, one of these is bound to occur.
they walk right if they run into a pipe
>>338024761
yeah, but they never start out walking right
>>338024308

>>338024847
isn't there a level in smb / smb2jp that moves right to left?
I can't tell if this is the set up to a joke, a philosophical question, or one of the stupidest questions I've heard asked.
>>338025030
it's an animal husbandry question
>>338025030
Its shitposting
>>338024308
It's designed carefully so that if you run straight to the right when you start, you'll attempt to jump over the goomba but hit your head on the ? block, causing you to drop down, land on the goomba, and receive a mushroom at the same time. You're simultaneously taught that hitting things from above kills them and knocking blocks from below produces items.
Devs in the 80s didn't have hour long mandatory tutorials or the game fellating you with achievements for killing your first enemy, so they had to be creative.
Because they're right out of their mind
>>338025343
How were you supposed to know to not jump on the piranha plants then?
>>338025415
Because the devs assumed you knew what venus fly traps are.
>>338025480
but i'm pretty sure that you could easily kill a venus fly trap by jumping on it in real life
>>338025316
you dont know what shit posting is, child.
It's a matter of perspective. To us they walk left, to Mario they approach him, to the mountains and clouds they move right.
>>338025546
No you can't, they'd eat you.
>>338025415
The plants have pointy teeth pointed upwards. Instics tell you not to jump on a spike.
>>338025696
have you ever seen a venus fly trap in real life?
It's like the size of your frist.
>>338025662
why are all doors facing away from the mountains
>>338024110
Because your italian mother lays on her right
>>338025739
a venus fly trap shouldn't be compared to time....
>>338025737
SMB1 has no spikes so the player is never capable of learning that.
>>338024110
They aren't playing for therightteam
>>338025791
>>338024308
If you don't figure it out the first time you die, respawn almost instantly, and now know what to do
>>338025825
carlos that was fucking weak
>>338025907
You run into Piranha plants long before that enemy even appears.
>>338025908
So it's artificial difficulty then.
>>338024110
They are getting away from the slavery of the koopas. And your are killing them
>>338025908
That's assuming you know you're able to jump at all. It's not like realistic humans can jump 10 feet into the air at will. The Goomba is roughly the same size as Mario; it's not intuitive to think that you are able to jump that high.
>>338026013
>You run into Piranha plants long before that enemy even appears.
I don't care about that, I just wanted to prove you wrong.
>>338024110
They walk to their right when they are born you tard, imagine the world from their eyes
>>338026083
You still haven't explained how the player is just supposed to know to not jump on piranha plants when jumping on every other enemy encountered was met with success.
And how is the player supposed to know to not jump on Bowser for that matter?
>>338024675
So I have to die once? Fucking artificial difficulty.
>>338026167
I don't care about any of that though.
You said there are no spikes in smb1.
>>338026167
>jump on flat, squishy mushroom stuff
Makes sense that the mushroom is going to get squished
>jump on solid, tough turtle carapace
Makes sense that the hostile inside is knocked out, but the shell still remains
>jump on a hungry, gaping mouth full of sharp looking teeth that is perpetually chomping
???
>>338026045
Who the fuck doesnt press all the buttons when they start a new game? Who the fuck doesnt try a bunch of shit when it takes five seconds to go at it again? You learn everything you need to know in a minute of dicking around. If you fail to adapt to later surprises that make the game fun, you lose a bit of time in a game that can be completed in under an hour. Games back then were designed for you to fail and try again, otherwise everyone would be fucking pissed at them being only an hour long.
>>338026162
lol rekt
>>338024110
They're all liberals.
>>338026167
trial and error game design
miyamoto is a sham
>>338026283
>jump on plant with its mouth sticking upwards
Makes sense that the force of a humans weight at average jumping speed being shoved down a creatures throat would cause it a severe amount of pain to kill it
>>338026263
There aren't though. An enemy with spikes on it isn't the same as a spike hazard on the level itself.
>>338024110
When Mario respawns after he dies, is the Mario that respawns the same Mario or just an identical but different Mario the just thinks he's the original Mario?
>>338024847
How do you know? If they started walking right off screen and ran into something then went left you'd only see them walking left.
>>338026572
The death was non-canon.
>>338026660
why are 1-up mushrooms a thing then?
On closer inspection, it seems like they're strafing to the right from their perspective.
Would a goomba with z-targeting be unbeatable?
>>338024110
because they have never looked right
>>338026572
Canonically each one is referred to as a different Mario.
The Mario in Super Mario Bros 1-1 has been long dead compared to the intro cutscene Mario in Super Mario 64
>>338026743
It clones an extra Mario when a Mario eats it. Like budding.
Since mario is a plumber, goombas are supposed to be poop right? Poop, turtles and money pretty much summarizing a plumbers job

But it does, the piranha plants clearly have spikes in it's mouth andyou should be able to tell that landing in the spiky mouth of something the size of you is probably not a wise thing to do.
Might as well complain it doesn't tell you not to fall into a pit. I mean, since it scrolls horizontally it might scroll vertically
>>338026870
they are evil mushrooms.
They're actually walking to the right. They're not facing the same direction as you
>>338026881
>>Might as well complain it doesn't tell you not to fall into a pit. I mean, since it scrolls horizontally it might scroll vertically
That's a good point actually. How are you expected to know that?
>>338026929
Whoa.
Why doesn't Mario just walk around them.
Can we talk about more pressing matters?
How do we kill the impossible goomba in Mario 64?
Who placed all those green pipes in such unreachable and non-practical places? It's not like there's any water to run through them and maintance must be a hell of a task
>>338027608
and why are the pipes so big? are we supposed to believe princess peach takes such massive shits?
>>338027608
And why do only some of them lead anywhere? Why the fuck are there so many pipes with absolutely nothing in them other than venus fly traps? Who the fuck designed this sewer system? Clearly a health code violation if I've ever seen one.
>>338027690
>>338028053
Because Mario is a plumber who got sucked down the bathtub into the magical Mushroom Kingdom that exists amongst the plumbing.
Gees its like you guys don't know basic Mario lore!
>>338028053
The plants infest the pipes, so you can't use them. Even if you destroy the plant, the pipe is still clogged with pirahna shit and spores, so Mario refuses to use it.
>>338028413
Nigger, if there's that big an infestation that 95% of the pipes are clogged up with plants, then what the FUCK are the Mario Bros doing? God damn lazy fucks.
>people complaining about "artificial difficulty"
Of all the memes to come from /v/ this is the one I hate the most.
Things Is I think artificial difficulty can be a thing to vary degrees, a game like shoots and ladders is a good example. Poker games are a small example (player skill about an equal factor as luck)
But having a portion of a game that is designed to make most players fail the first couple times is not. Any job in the world that actually has worth has a chance of failure. learning from your mistakes is what makes challenges worth while, and that is ultimately what video games are about, completing challenges.
>>338028739
They can't do their job because they have to go chasing Peach all the time. As one of the few beings in the Mushroom Kingdom with opposable thumbs, their work is extremely vital to the Kingdom's plumbing. Bowser's long-game is to slowly drive the Kingdom to ruin through overclogging.
>>338030084
Not buying it. If SMB1 is the first time peach got kidnapped, then there was no time for the infestation to get this bad.
>>338024110
They were running away from Bowser's tyrannical rule.
And you killed them.
The goomba resembles the tip of my dick, coincidence?
>>338025739
well why don't you try it mr. badass, see what happens
>>338030185
Who says SMB1 was Mario's first adventure? I mean, Peach was being kidnapped when she was still a baby.
>>338024675
Fucking trial and error bullshit gameplay
>>338030343
bring it on faget
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ3qR6SkuKo
>>338024308
You watch the demo after turning the game on.
>>338030759
God spoiler that shit. That was gruesome.
What if they had a sidescroller game where you keep moving left to beat the levels?
>>338024110
Gombas were never born
They simply existed, until Mario comes and destroys everything in his wake
The real mystery is this.
