10 Subtle Differences between Super Mario 3D World for Switch and Wii U (Part 5)

You can do a rolling long jump. If you try to do a dive mario will do a rolling long jump.

[@thomasverslycken2563]

4:10 that caused me a problem the first time

[@Dummigame]

Pls read: In bowsers fury at this place with the clear pipe maze, clear pipes cannot stack, meaning the ones behind the biggest go invisible.

[@JonathanRiverafrickinnice555]

That invisible clear pipe did wonders in making Champion's Road more stressful.

[@ppsrvz]

I died three times there only because of that ugh

[@SteveNever1]

I got so pissed at that

[@OzCroc]

I thought I was just tripping XD

[@insertcoolname.4708]

Incredibly!

[@crazycarlos08]

Idk if it's a glitch, but it sure does lol

[@ralphmarbler27]

The clear pipe becoming invisible underwater in Champions Road seems like a glitch to me.

[@RayoMcQueen95990]

that's what i thought as well

[@CJ-nz4wq]

I thought it was to make it a bit more difficult since you have to remember exactly where the pipe is now that it’s missing.

[@SeeTv.]

None of the testers was good enough at the game to come this far xD

[@TheDamnRat]

Exactly it’s bs

[@DJ_Sonic09]

Definitely a glitch, there's no possible reason for them to do that on purpose

[@unnamedtoaster]

Imagine making it all the way to the water section in champion's road and not knowing you needed to enter an invisible clear pipe. Seems like something that could be easily missed if you weren't already aware of it.

[@ABigBluePoliceBox]

Yeah no wonder it took us 100s of lives to beat this co-op The game itself was gaslighting us

[@xian2themax]

I mean you can see it up until the water covers it

[@thequacken3226]

Honestly, the invisible clear pipe has killed me a couple times in my attempts to beat champion's road.

[@ZMashXA]

that happened to me, i had to watch on KZbin to know what to do on that part, then I noticed the glitch

[@anty.]

i died to it a few times because i thought the pipe actually disappeared and i assumed you had to jump out of the water to get into it. i guess it's kind of like in real life when something has the same refractive index as water.

[@jfercardona]

3:34 The rain particle effect migt be bettr on switch, but the wet floor reflection is better on WiiU.

[@goldeer7129]

True ! I wish we had wii U floor and Switch rain !

[@martigomezcastella9461]

The invisible clear pipe really anoyed me in your video of the champion's road

[@ralphmarbler27]

Probably a glitch.

[@amvianna1]

No It's Not

[@KyloZach]

Luckily i know where it is and i finally beated the course a week after i got the Switch version.

[@user-mj6zg8hh9h]

That pipe was really annoying.

[@koolguy6940]

Died a few time there because of it 🙄

[@CJ-nz4wq]

I think that they added the keeping what you had feature after death on switch because of the speed boost since it’s kinda easier to die with more speed.

[@ajculum723]

It also makes completing the game in multiplayer way more fun

[@The_Pikaboi]

Nah i feel it was added to assist multiplayer clears since they made the game with online play

[@alfiehicks1]

It was probably more to have parity with Odyssey, since that game introduced the idea of keeping any collectible permanently once initially collected. It makes sense, since you shouldn't need to collect something again just because you made a completely unrelated mistake afterwards. You've already proved you are able to collect the item - forcing you to do it again is just bad game design.

[@SakuraAvalon]

@@alfiehicks1 *THIS* It's the equivalent of doing a test, solving questions, getting one wrong, and needing to restart the rest from scratch.

[@enderallygolem]

It does allow for suicide collection though

[@smario8285]

The clear pipe becoming invisible scared me half to death when I was playing it omg

[@josuegarro5437]

Yeah I thought I went crazy or something when I didn't saw it and the spiky block was coming

[@markymark443]

I honestly thought I was legit becoming blind and couldn't see something that was there...

[@RinnyThePrincess]

The pipe disappearing reminds me of water and ice turning invisible when viewed through ice in Minecraft

[@blueboytube]

I mean it’s probably because of the same complication with two transparent objects layered on top of each other. I do think though that Nintendo could’ve just added white non-transparent lines around the clear pipe to give the player the illusion of a clear pipe. Of course not perfect but much better than just not rendering it at all

[@Lightningflamingice]

@@blueboytube it was probably an oversight given that there are underwater levels with clear pipes on the Switch version that are just fine.

[@legoboy7107]

@@blueboytube But that bug didn't happen on Wii U.

[@blueboytube]

@@legoboy7107 yeah sure but as I said it’s just a complication. It’s not impossible to have 2 transparent objects overlap. They probably changed the way the game renders objects slightly and just forgot to change this specific clear pipe

[@yosic.6814]

They fixed that in minecraft and they can fix this here

[@ScorpionMan968]

The inventory item is different. On Wii U, it's grey and looks futuristic. on switch, it's a darker grey that's translucent. Awesome video!

[@cryptidcloud]

futuristic? it looks like something from the wii

[@Grane1234]

And you press up on the d-pad to access it instead of select (-)

[@ScorpionMan968]

[@vittosphonecollection57289]

​@@cryptidcloudLooks like something from the Wii U to me, so it's as it should. Also it is futuristic, only not modern looking anymore

[@obeythemelon]

I figured that last one was some sort of "more realistic" effect, like how glass looks in water. Also, just pointing out, you can still lose everything you newly collected if you choose to restart the stage rather than die.

[@nathankellogg2640]

Did they add a restart button on Switch?

[@obeythemelon]

@@nathankellogg2640 Yeh, in the pause menu, so you don't have to exit the stage to redo it anymore.

Yeah 😡

[@XRADU97]

We need report it first Any idea what's the best and more visible way?

[@BaboongaBunch]

Nah, it makes Champion’s Road more interesting. Plus, it makes it so you have to multitask and look for where the pip is before actually going to it.

[@alessandroperna3224]

Man the invisible clear pipe almost killed me after at least 400 deaths (in multiplayer)

[@0nick0nick05]

I found a really cool subtle difference, apparently if you press right when you first open the game, you get a crazy thing called “bowser’s fury” very subtle difference but very cool!

[@XaneMyers]

4:11 The Switch has problems with transparency? Hmm... I wonder if that's why Animal Crossing New Horizons avoids translucent objects where it can (fish tanks, glass objects, and those glasses seen on the Wedding Season table and Sparkling Cider)... If multiple of those rendered over another, they'd probably glitch out or turn invisible.

[@Js125GamerMii]

I don't think that has something to do with the Switch. In World 🌻- 7, the clear pipes are visible underwater.

[@giygas_9577]

That invisible clear pipe really threw me for a loop the first couple of times.

[@SonicDiamond]

4:12 thats because of bowser fury, the underwater clear pipe mission idk how is called

There's no underwater in Bowser's Fury

[@itskaratemaster]

Here’s a suggestion. In world 3-train and world bowser-train the music restarts after launching yourself out of the pipe on the Wii U version. But in the switch version, it just keeps going. Hope you see this!

[@LEGOGames1000YT]

3:10 I really appreciate that change. In some levels, I lose many lives (even getting the White Leaf/Assist Block) and I don't want to backtrack just to recollect those things again (and sometimes it's impossible to backtrack). 👍

[@tschonman1164]

I see your point but that completely destroys the challenge of the collectible aspect in the first place. Every other Mario game (2D games included) force you to replay the level and collect the collectibles again which is completely fair. Also, the challenge in some green stars is completely erased with the new mechanic. Take the third green star in 6-5 Ty-Foo Flurries for example. You have to time your jump in the tornado correctly to collect the green star or you die. If you collected it, died, and kept it, there would be no point. There are many other green stars like that which require a last minute jump (green star 1 in castle-castle is another) but that was just the one that came to my head.

[@HoriOnline]

@@tschonman1164 agreed

[@JackThePerson27]

That invisible pipe in Champion’s Road... so scary!

[@GobouLePoissonBoue]

It's so realistic though.

[@jesusmoreno2652]

Why am I watching this without even having the wii u or the switch?

[@coolbeans7z539]

The opening was replaced (or removed idk) 0/10 Edit: I mean the one that just shows some art and “Super Mario 3D World.” Those openings were removed form switch ports

[@MashupProductions22]

The opening is still there

[@SeeTv.]

The opening from the home screen is entirely gone on Switch.

[@Rodis3554]

It was replaced to give credit to the commenters at least I _assume_ he meant the ending

[@howaboutno3575]

I wonder why they nefted Rosalina? Seems like a oddly specific thing to remove her iconic spinning just because she's holding someone hahahha

[@gemanimates]

I love the keeping stars and stamps thing, it was so frustrating on wii u

[@SeeTv.]

3:10 this is not the case for Captain Toad levels

[@TennisMens888]

The green stars are required to beat Captain Toad levels, so I get why they did that.

[@Theo-dg2be]

I like that

[@xian2themax]

That’s because the stars are required in captain toad levels m

[@GamePlayer0105]

Another noticeable difference is that the tanooki suit is actually detailed.

[@seroujghazarian6343]

The Luigi Bros bubble in the 3D World title screen (NOT the Super Mario Advance-like "Choose your game" screen) is much, much smaller in the Switch version

[@Callumbuddy]

Alright, I'm glad I'm not crazy. I kept questioning the clear pipe becoming invisible underwater because I didn't remember that happening on the Wii U. Glad my memory has not failed me this time.

[@evopeer]

I love These Differenz vids, plz keep on making them!

[@Just_Shaun]

2:46 if you’d have told me this before release. I’d have been pretty annoyed because it makes the game easier but tbh some levels are much less of a headache knowing you don’t lose all the collectibles if you die

[@Damien_Paxton]

Thank you, this has been fun and informative.

[@scamuel1896]

Feels like some of these changes that make the game "easier" were made with newcomers coming over from Super Mario Odyssey (or even Bowser's Fury) in mind, as deaths mean basically nothing in those games besides coins; at this point, though, they may as well have removed lives entirely IMO

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

You say that like you can't cap lives as early as the second level, or that 3D World itself didn't carry anything over to Odyssey

[@arkethel]

1:39 I miss this

[@aymanaboufarise4346]

I like how Luigi jamp off rosalina the second time before getting killed.

[@wutadam]

The shadows under the coin count, green star icons, stamp icon, and timer are a bit different in the Switch version, and the HUD is smaller.

[@prestonthemetapod1484]

2:47 I'm glad they changed this.

[@y.2439]

In the Motley Bossblob battles, in the Wii U version, the wand left some trail when he use maigc, in the Nintendo Switch version, the trail is missing In Switchblack Ruins, when you do all the switches, the light is more clear in the Nintendo Switch than in the Wii U version and if you compare the 2 games side by side, all icons like time points and stars, are smaller in Nintendo Switch

[@_justasnail]

I'm loving these videos, good stuff!

[@markymark443]

#8 is not subtle, I'm pretty sure every player noticed this and was very grateful for it lol

[@LilDrawingboi]

That shit in champions road with the clear pipe almost fucked me up so hard. I was like “WHERE IS IT! WHERE IS IT!!!

[@caden5936]

Ok the character selection screen on the Wii U, the player icons are much bigger and bolder

[@CrushedParagon]

I never got to Champion's Road in the Wii U version, so I assumed the clear pipe disappearing was to make sure you were paying attention to where the pipe was before

[@PYC128]

The clear pipes thing seems to be a transparency rendering issue! I noticed it first in Bowser's Fury, where you can't see a clear pipe behind another clear pipe

[@ethanos5]

The switch doesn’t have the blow thing so in some levels like 2-2 or I think 2-3 the little platforms go By themselves

[@ianchandler4649]

3:55 This bug has killed me many, many times.

[@champ2176]

I encountered a strange glitch earlier and I thought I’d share it: If you do a spin jump with a fire flower and then shoot a fireball while you’re in the air for some reason it slows you down and you can use this to float kind of like Peach.

[@snowchum]

In level 2-2 puffprod peaks, if you stand outside the level and listen carefully, you can still hear the fan sound effect when the platforms used to be blowable. After the platforms being automatic moving ones instead in the switch port, I guess they forgot to remove the sound effect.

[@jehdje]

The Champion’s Road clear pipe change wasn’t subtle to me at all, because at this point I’ve gotten the chance to see it like 150 times already lol.

[@jasonbaltas786]

On the wii u version, when you opened the map the lists of every world and the stamp collection were on the bottom right corner but on the switch version they have their on section by moving left and right with "L" and "R"

[@austinstallman8110]

Not really a change, since it wasn't possible in Wii U, but in Bowser-6 if you enter photo mode next to the giant mirror and move the camera around, it ruins the mirror illusion.

[@alikoneko]

Can we talk about how the Switch version has more vibrant colors than the Wii U version?

[@wutadam]

That's because the Wii U version uses a limited RGB display scale, while the Switch version uses a full RGB display scale.

[@nickk3077]

Can you use save states in the Switch version of Luigi Bros like in the Wii U? If so, it would be strange because the Switch would borrow the same save state feature that was used in the Wii U's virtual console selection, when there is no Switch virtual console.

[@ieatkids09]

Well if you count Nintendo switch online NES and SNES games then it has one and for Luigi bros i think that it does (sorry i just play the worlds,bowser’s fury then Weegie bros)

They deliberately made the clear pipe invisible in the Switch version of Champion's Road to make it even more harder.

[@superdrago1323]

im glad that when u get a star or a stamp and die in the middle of a level you keep it thats actually helpful. If you guys have the super mario 3d world +bowsers fury theres no point of getting the wii u verison

[@Earth2McKay]

Oh now I know why this game was way less frustrating my first play through on switch compared to when I had the original wii u bundle 3d world. Keeping stars and stamps collected after dying.. Yep. Cause now I can just suicide jump some hard ones instead if worrying about completing the level.

[@purplegeno8179]

What’s interesting though is that Champion’s Road doesn’t keep your green stars after you die, just like the original

[@astaregod]

I believe it does. I collected all three when I got to the dash panel section, then died, and when the level started again all three green stars still showed as collected and showed up translucent in the level.

[@lunarkomet]

I don't even know why I keep watching these since I never had any intention of buying either of those games lol

[@ricardoortiz4870]

Another difference is that in the level PuffProd Peaks and certain Captain Toad levels in the Wii U version requires the game pad. Whereas on switch these levels can be played regardless of what controller the player uses. Rip propeller lifts btw.
