I think that last green star in the Bowser level is the only green star I got with Luigi. I simply could not get it with Mario.

But there's one green star in the next world that you can't bullshit whether your Mario or Luigi... the hardest green star in the whole drat game! :getin:

The word "face" has to replace "space" and no other rhyming word is acceptable.

You mean something like this: John Woo directed a number of movies I like, one of them being Space-off.

You could always go with ones that really stretch it, like: I hated Crystal Skull, especially the end when the aliens teleport away. The Face between Faces, seriously?

It's a crossover between the Mario Bros. and this series. An anime that's short, sweet and SO loving AWESOME you will be hard pressed not to go out and do something AWESOME or right an INJUSTICE after watching it.

Seriously, they drive increasingly larger mechs driven by sheer willpower/MANLY SPIRIT.

It's not without its problems (the usual anime hypersexualization of women and negative gay stereotypes) but it's a pretty drat fun for what it is :shobon:

Well, yes of course but those are problems that are kinda understood to be there due to it being anime. It is still miles better than most anime and "giant robots literally powered by your morale" is an interesting idea that they have fun playing with and it doesn't overstay its welcome.

It's kind of subversive, though. Like in episode 3 (or 4?) how the animation is just inexplicably lovely, or in the bikini episode how everyone weirdly lusts for Nia despite her being the most conservatively dressed (and how Yoko is actually wearing more than usual).

TTGL is actually surprisingly clever if you look behind the facade of manly men roaring manly things at each other while pentrating enemies with their drills.

And that facade is pretty goddamn entertaining in-and-of itself, quite frankly. I haven't watched it in years but that last couple of episodes left quite the impression. I don't enjoy much anime, but TTGL is just too much fun.

Yep. I understood what I did wrong. What's interesting about it is that 90% of the Faceship is done with vertex colors, not with textures. In fact, if I disable textures entirely, I get:



Compared to with textures:



It's most noticeable in like the windows up top. None of that window up there is a texture, it's all vertex colors. Nintendo has drat good artists.



Here's a screencap from in-development, showing off all the textures used in the faceship, besides the ones scrolled off-screen. Any others you want to see? Or any other models in general?

Probably to keep texture sizes and load times down; the Wii's hardware is nothing to write home about so there's probably some value in saving space, especially where textures are involved.

Nintendo's artists have a long history of really clever tricks and cheats like that; part of it is due to neccessity because Nintendo's consoles tend to not have stupid huge amounts of power and memory available to them but part of it is just the attitude.

The secret that no one told anyone about that gen is that the Gamecube was actually nearly as powerful as the Xbox was, a lot of its hangups actually came from the low storage space that the miniDvDs it used to store games.

Non-NPC Luigi seems to be a bit closer to Mario's proportions, maybe it had something to do with hitboxes or skeletal animation.
