Sonic Colours not only was set in a theme park but had a Carnival themed zone too!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjQPpWEXcOU And a loving great soundtrack too

i think breaking it down to just grass/beach/ice/desert worlds isn’t quite giving forgotten land enough credit. there’s the mall, the funhouse, and the desert hotel, which were all really cool. The beach level is also a flooded factory and the ice level is also London. The environments had plenty of personality.

There is one very simple metric you can use to determine if ice/snow levels are good or bad. Using Kirby and the Forgotten Land as an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ermkj5ukA0 The snow region is very much good. External Organs posted:Someone should make a thread about cross cultural marketing in video games because this CANT be the only instance of this, right? The other major one I've noticed is US Final Fantasy box art versus Japan/PAL It's weirdly hard to find comparison shots; this was the best I could come up with after minutes of googling; my copy of FF7 had the graphic centered and I dunno what the plastic decals on FF8 are about, but it gets the gist across  Apparently the pre-PS games had Amano art on the cover across regions, while later remakes used the simpler logo + title art in Europe and Japan, but I've only known the latter.

My favorite biome is when you are just really tiny and in a regular place, like de_rats or sandbox in CoDWW2. Also the Costco map in Modern warfare is pretty fun too even if upu are just regular size

Waffle! posted:I was going to say underwater levels were the worst, like from the Ninja Turtles NES game. But those levels also gave us Dire Dire Docks, and Aquatic Ambience. I'd probably argue that underwater worlds/levels can be applied to almost any other kind of world that's been listed so far

Desert levels are usually the worst. They're boring aesthetically. Mirage Saloon from Sonic Mania is probably the best desert level. If there's going to be a desert level, at least make it look like the American Southwest, its more visually interesting. Pyramids are lame.

100YrsofAttitude posted:Just got to Kirby's Desert World and I'm sure it'll be great (the game is rather brilliant), but the biomes that platformers go through are so rote these days. Forest, Carnival, Ice World, Water/Ocean World, Desert World, Lava World, and some Gothic castle usually is the full gamut. Super Mario Land 2 has you visit: -A giant house and garden -Go inside a giant Mario-statue -Space in addition to the normal poo poo like submarines, forests and so on Edit: The Postman posted:I like the worlds in Super Mario Land 2.

Desert levels should include an Anubis. Maybe a Horus too. If you think about it, no one liked Sandopolis Zone in Sonic. And what did it have? Some dumb Golem that couldn't even walk, and some ghosts. Boring

Libluini posted:Super Mario Land 2 has you visit: That was a fun game, one of the few GB games I had for a long time. I personally would like to see more swampy biomes. I realize this is close to a sewer level, but just wading through shallow water, mangroves and the like could be very neat. I always liked the Can't Wait to be King level from Lion King, because it had you jumping on animals. In the same way that Poké Floats was really really great.

It was overwhelming at first, but the loop is short enough that you can memorize it after a couple games. Then do rad poo poo like dodge away from an attack into empty space, only for Squirtle's head to pop up under you at the last second to continue the fight. Great stage.

Modern Smash Bros has way too many stages that are just nondescript platforms that fly around past some setpieces and maybe transform occasionally. Levels that have you actually standing in a recognizable location are way better. Fighting in hyrule temple is cool, fighting on top of a generic Smash Bros Arena as it flies past skyloft is lame. Pokefloats can be awkward but it's still in the good half of Smash stages by virtue of making you actually stand on the floats instead of putting them in the background.

PantsBandit posted:There's a level in Tropical Freeze where you bounce on jello and ride fruit. If I recall the entire world was basically a plantation for exotic fruits, which are picked, cleaned, chopped and processed until you get to the end product, which are popsicles. So basically it starts off in a jungle, becomes a factory, an underwater level and ends in an ice level. Zuzie fucked around with this message at 02:23 on May 16, 2022 |

Maybe triangle strategy. I'd say Bravely is very good if nit as good as the first one.
