all the stages have alternate challenges I think. plus playing for speed will be fun.

Not if there's no leaderboards which if the other Nintendo games are an indication, does not seem likely.

That said, according to GB Dan didn't even seem to notice that there were probably other collectible things for speed clears.

yeah. it's a pretty strange bonus. there's not much to do, you can't jump, and you're slow as gently caress. I dunno why those levels are there.

there's a lot of desktop potential here

Because they already exist, completely playable on the engine already.

because there is no manpower

its padding for little to no work

What I would guess happened is after the game was content complete (as in, they had designed and coded most or all of the levels), they still had some space on the disc and maybe one or two developers spent a couple of days maximum getting these stages on there and working. That kind of thing can happen a lot in software development. It's actually the reason Galaxy 1 had those storybook segments - a few people did that completely on their own and then presented it.

all I said was just that they were pointless and boring and I didn't understand the inclusion of those levels. I didn't say anything about it taking up a "level slot"

they're just a bonus for having 3d world save data. I enjoyed running around super bell hill as the capt.

honestly, I'd rather have a good 5-hour game than a good 50-hour game. it is nice to have games that I can finish in a reasonable amount of time

It was cool as hell opening up my Wii U box for the first time as a gamer adult... Nintendo products warm my hart.

I probably won't be getting this game unless it drops to like 20 dollars however.
