Super Nintendo World (UOR) - General Discussion Thread

Now that I’ve finished Bananza 100%, daaaaaaaaaang. Mario could get away with how it was built because even though we have Odyssey and whatever’s coming in the future there’s still a general aesthetic that just works. It could just be me but Bananza really makes the Donkey Kong Country area seem even more lacking. It was such a massive leap forward for the series it’s not even funny. The timing of everything just didn’t work out here lol.

They need to throw Tiki Tong in a wood chipper for.... reasons.

I love Retro Studios’ Donkey Kong games and it must be amazing for them to have their games immortalized like this but with how underwhelmed I was by it I have to agree lol.

God dang it I missed him again!

One of these days it’ll hopefully happen

Rode DK today, second time since previews. While it wasn’t as intense as my first ride the sideways rattle was still very noticeable and mildly uncomfortable. Not in a rush to get on again anytime soon.

Dixie Kong looks like she’ll need refurb work before long. Her fur is bleached from the sun and starting to look shabby. Everything else on the ride looked fine and worked.

How does Mario Land look bleaching wise?

Honestly I glanced around but did not pay enough attention to really look. The parts around DK looked fine as seen from the queue but I didn’t spend a lot of time in SNW today.

After standing in line for about an hour I will add I wish the DK queue music had some variety a couple of different songs.

Mario Land doesn't look sun-bleached, but areas definitely still look like they were part of a construction zone if you look hard enough. They opened the park as soon as they could, meaning they didn't get a solid chance to repaint scrapes and dents, wash all of the concrete dust off, etc.

It looks really great from a distance, but once you start looking at the details, the whole land feels like it needs a good bath.

Yea I wish they were able to go back in and kind of “complete” the land.

Being time crunched sucks for good finishes.

Delay Kong Mine Cart Madness.

Been here 2 days and SNL has had a fire drill where everyone had to evacuate the entire land for hours. And DK is constantly delayed and down. Is it common for SNL to have so many issues? I avoided any fourms or spoilers but maybe I should been more prepared. DK had a 5 hour wait yesterday after the Land finally opened. Yikes.

Toad on the Yoshi ride was already super sun-bleached during the previews...

 

[NotPennysBoat]

Do they have any kind of fade resistant paint that they can use?

Yeah I remember that from opening day.

 

[Mad Dog]

They have to repaint the vivid colors of Seuss Landing often due to fade. It's a Florida thing, unfortunately.

This is an issue. The Donkey Kong Country games have so many wonderful music tracks, ranging from really peaceful ambience to heavy metal boss fight riffs, but it so often gets represented with the Jungle Hijinx theme, and only the Jungle Hijinx theme. Smash Bros does the same thing honestly.

That queue is so incredibly long, it should have a few tracks to break up the monotony of the Jungle Hijinx drums. Yoshi's has multiple different themes from all across that series, from New Island on 3DS to Yoshi's Story on N64; and at least Mario Kart has a different Bowsers Castle / Mario Kart song for each room.

I don't understand why they don't even include the second half of Jungle Hijinx itself, which is a lot more lowkey and ambient and purposefully breaks up the pace of the drums. It's all incredibly silly. What a shame honestly; this sub-land could have the best music in the park.

Yeah, this is definitely a baffling decision, especially with how much love the rest of the land's soundtrack got. There are so many great atmospheric songs that would've been perfect for the Mine Cart Madness queue. Furious Fire, the song that plays for the entirety of the indoor queue, is one of the more forgettable songs from Returns, and it can get grating to listen to after a while. DKC1 and 2 had so many different classic tunes they could've pulled from.

The idea that we got Yoshi's New Island OST representation, one of the most notoriously bad Nintendo soundtracks out there, while also having nothing from the beautiful DKC2 or Tropical Freeze soundtracks is legitimately criminal. Did they just not wanna pay David Wise?

Nothing from DKC2 with Diddy and Dixie on the ride is where I am at a loss alongside you.
Holy sheet. What a soundtrack. So freakin' good.

Stickerbush Symphony not playing at night is a huge miss.
