(whoops, this comment was supposed to go first, forgot which page I was on)
Ah, you know what I just realized? The line "I like pasta, I like wine" was changed to "I like pasta, all the time" in some other versions of this game. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MUST NOT LET CHILDREN KNOW OF ALCOHOL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Now I'm going to unload my responses to comments on both parts here so they'll be more easily seen.
gonna kick those krazy koopas in the kostal kartilage
I just love Mario's accent there. So much fun to imitate. It's like classic Strong Bad. But why does he sound different on the videophone during the game?
Important: Bowser looks good in a tux.
You can get away with anything in a tux. Why else would Mario accept candy from his mortal enemy? ...other than Mario being an overweight disappointment...
Are any of these sentences actually related?
Luigi overcomes his fear of heights in the span of about ten seconds. Although I can't understand why the walls would look SHORTER up close. Later in the game, Bowser exploits Mario's fear of the dark. It's all about phobias, this story.
I'm not totally sure what the age part does. I'm guessing it makes the pamphlets later on more dense, or maybe the hints people give you are more vague? Maybe the questions are harder? I dunno. I'll mess with it later.
I never got around to messing with it either. I just set it on Adult hoping to rack up the most points or see the most stuff that way. My guesses for the younger ages are that it gives you more time in each city, or it gives you fewer artifacts to find in each city. (Some cities have as many as 5 artifacts to find, while I believe the console versions only have 3 in every one. Or at least the NES version did. I didn't play the SNES version much.) Seems like too much work to actually rewrite the clues.
By the way, if you ever play this game for yourself then you should try to memorize the location you are when you enter, since it's the only way out (well, there's actually two exit pipes, I think, though it's easier to just memorize this one and not walk all over the place).
Actually, when I played it, Luigi didn't always start out at the Pokey pipe. It seemed to be a rare stroke of luck when that happened. But yeah, either you stumble across Pokey and memorize where he is if you're not done, or you stumble across a Pokey locater and trek straight there when you're done. I still think the whole locater system makes this game a lot more exciting than the console versions.
He looks sort of indignant like that, which makes the fact that he's apparently near sewage (?) oddly hilarious.
I think he's just exclaiming "Sewage!" as some kind of G-rated plumbing-related expletive.
I have no idea why the screenshots suddenly turn huge when I access the map.
They used a higher resolution mode for it. Gotta have plenty of detail when you add giant houses and HILLS WITH EYES to a map of the world. Don't forget to click on Antarctica for a nice aerial view of Bowser's castle.
TaxiOH GOD WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THAT DRIVER?
Michael Moore took too many stimulants, apparently.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot: in the actual deluxe version of MiM, you get real photos of all the landmarks and artifacts and stuff instead of these cheesy little computer drawings. Pretty impressive, I have to say! These are a lot funnier, though.
Just wait till you see how they depicted the panda bear.
