Lack of commentary. It seems like the best guys could talk and play at the same time, but talk not so much about game mechanics but can just BS around and seem like they enjoy the game they are playing.

I don't normally tell people the right and wrong way to play games, but this is the wrong way to play this game.

Compared to the previous runs, it's jarring how slow and generic the New SMB games are.

slightly amused
The only thing I thought might make the FE run interesting was seeing how a man works his way around the fickle whims of the RNG. I completely forgot about bonus exp giving you away around all of that though, so its probably going to just be very by the numbers AI exploits.

Have more than one person playing and it would be really interesting due to all the crazy shenanigans you can do with another body to jump off.

It's because this game was designed in mind for 4 people running around together, so all of the levels are wide open and empty. The game has terrible level designs.

Just one more thing!
NSMB U or even Luigi U again would have been good choices. Or maybe even something like a speed play of the NSMB U challenges. This game just isn't very interesting, at least in comparison to the previous few games. Kinda feel bad for the runner having to follow all that.

NSMBU and Luigi U were at SGDQ '14 and they were also loving boring because NSMB is loving boring.

It might be interesting to see a speed run with someone spawning Boost Blocks so you could see some crazy routing, but :effort:
