There's the Double Cherry, which creates another you that you control alongside yourself. For example, there's the Mega Shroom, which makes you giant and invulnerable for a short time (at the cost of whatever power-up you were wearing at the time). But there's a bunch of power-ups and items that are level-exclusive. So those are the main four power-ups, and they can all be carried from level to level.

You could only throw one boomerang at a time, but unlike fireballs, the boomerang could plow through multiple enemies at a time. Probably the coolest power-up, though, was the Boomerang Suit. Maybe it could've just made enemies ignore you.) (But if it did have that ability, it's not like it needed to instantly kill anything that touched it, like the Gold Cat Suit does. It's kind of a shame that it doesn't have the statue feature as it does in Mario 3, but I didn't miss it too much. And while I initially felt the same way about it in this game, I found myself really enjoying it, as the ability to float across long gaps was very useful, and whacking enemies with your tail was pretty satisfying.
In the latter, it was an obvious throwback power-up included just for the sake of attracting old-school gamers. Then there's the Tanuki Suit (I refuse to spell it "Tanooki"), returning from Super Mario Bros. There are also a few levels where you can use the Fire Flower to light up the area. Despite how long it's been around, I actually found myself using it often, thanks to your ability to throw two fireballs at a time, and the fact they can bounce off walls. Lots more.įor starters, there's the Fire Flower, which is the standard Mario power-up. Of course, the Cat Suit isn't the only power-up in the game. (Spoilers ahead - Highlight to read.) It gets even better late in the game, when you aquire a Cat Suit that can turn into a gold statue, which instantly kills anything that runs into it. And having played the game, yes, romping around in the Cat Suit is as fun as it looks. You could run around on all-fours, you could pounce on enemies, and you could climb up walls. Okay, while the idea of a Cat Suit sound silly, they certainly made it look fun in the trailers. But then they showed off the featured power-up in the game: the Cat Suit. games were still being churned out, and this game happens to be the sequel to Super Mario 3D Land on the Nintendo 3DS, which has to be one of the most sterile Mario platformers ever. Now, when Mario 3D World was first announced, I wasn't all that interested. But in case you don't have the time to watch a 15-hour LP, here's a much shorter rundown. Heck, the entire point of the let's play was to show why I loved the game.

They occasionally have Blender tutorials but as a free 3D program you are best served by going to their forum.I've mentioned this multiple times in my let's play of this game, but Super Mario 3D World is my new favorite Mario game.

It's not for complete novices since they assume you do have access to very expensive software and a setup that will run it. If you can find it locally pick it up and thumb through a copy. Other than that you get a large amount of training material without paying for the subscription service at a site like or Pluralsight (formerly Digital Tutors). Oddly that's the only thing industry pros seem to be silent on. They have great advice on getting started in the industry but I have yet to see one article on pay negotiation. They do, however, have wonderful articles on how shots in major films were done, great industry insight from pros, wonderful tutorials by well-known 3D artists, software reviews, and occasionally software discounts. You will find a lot of useful tutorials (provided it's Autodesk and Adobe that you use) but you won't find enough on competitive software like LightWave 3D, Cinema4D(they added more tutorials), Blender, RealFlow, Houdini, any matchmoving software (PF Track, Syntheyes, etc.), and anything by Foundry, the exception being their Nuke compositing software. That being said you will stay up to date on what companies are doing with the software you will have a fresh portfolio/demo reel to present.
My rating is 4 stars because they don't cover much outside of the Autodesk and Adobe competitor software.
