65 Subtle Differences between Super Mario 3D World for Switch and Wii U

[@legostar55]

I love how Odyssey had such a big impact on this port because a lot of changes in it are from Odyssey. Like ground pounding and doing a roll right afterwards is straight from Odyssey, the midair dive, ground pounding and rolling into pipes and others.

[@Herobrine100x]

The sfx for the pipes is from Odyssey too.

[@joshuanalley7202]

Odyssey was from 2017 and sm3dw+Bowsers fury was from 2021

@@joshuanalley7202 Changes in this port are from Odyssey. I mentioned those above, the release year only further confirms that (also yes I reply to old comment threads)

even the walking animation, notice how when mario starts walking now, his feet start moving very fast as it happens in odyssey

[@JettJamesGD]

9:48 I just noticed a little story plays out here. Luigi gets thrown off on Wii U, but once he’s on Switch, he knows what’s about to happen, and he’s like “no-no, not-a again!” and jumps away.

[@JJ-zo7jv]

I appreciate 18:36 for some reason. The fact that they put a little extra work in to remove the enter animation is awesome. Something that was really satisfying to me about SMB3 was that not only would you enter the pipe immediately, but you would enter regardless of where you were on the pipe. You could enter middle, to the side, etc. I wish they would bring that back, not having the "centering" animation before entering. There was something so pleasing about the way pipes worked in SMB3. The funny thing is they probably saw the nsmb series as "refining" the way it worked, but imo it takes you out of immersion.

[@elcanalpersonaldeldostor1289]

14:04 #35 that occurs only in the English version (idk about what happens in other languages than Japanese and Spanish, which kept unchanged). In both Japanese versions, that "HELP" word is written in all uppercase, while in the Spanish ones the word "Socorro" is written with only the initial in uppercase. 19:36 #46 this change, in several languages, caused the removal of any mention to the act of blowing in World 2-2's stage name, while in English (Puffprod Peaks) and some other languages remained the same.

[@squidsofty8507]

Wow, these changes really add up when you actually play the game. At first I was on the edge about buying this game again on the Switch, but now I’m super glad I bought it.

[@herocuke]

Wow I'm impressed by how much the developers worked to fix and improve this game. It's almost like they care about quality.

I don't understand how it's improved? They ruined the balance and difficulty by making the characters move faster and be able to jump further. The levels were not designed for this speed. They literally ruined the game.

Fun Fact: the clear pipe turning invisible underwater is actually more realistic. Reminds me of a news story where a thief hid a diamond in a glass of ice water?

[@connor.d.l]

It’s all about refractivity index- plexiglass for example has the same refractivity index as water, so say a plexiglass box would be invisible under water. If the pipes are plexiglass, this would be accurate.

[@datCoolPro101]

It was invisible due to hardware limitations

[@lordkoopus]

Really cool to see so much attention here after so little was put into 3D Allstard

[@DruoxTheShredder]

"subtle differences" *proceeds to show a 40% speed increase*

[@thinkublu]

I think the bubble change was made because, in addition to the limited buttons, when you're playing in docked mode the R button is taken up by the touch cursor. Also, I'm surprised the dive was a new addition, I use it CONSTANTLY - it's saved me so many times (ig it makes sense because I remember it being new to Odyssey)

[@curtdog647]

Actually, the cat dive will stop after a little while, but it's long enough that you could still dive for a long time in normal gameplay. You can test this from the very tip top of Slipskate Slopes or Crisp Climb Castle in Bowser's Fury

[@tysungbandith890]

19:39 I miss the blowing pad mic...it’s sad there is no mic on nintendo switch

[@LEGOGames1000YT]

18:27 There's an error there: the Wii U video clip still goes on, instead of changing it to the Switch clip.

[@LEGOGames1000YT]

Overall, the changes 43 and 44 were probably made to match that movement with Super Mario Odyssey's interactions (where you can also enter a pipe fast by ground-pounding or rolling).

The speed increase is absolutely amazing for speedrunning.

The colors thing is not an improvement of the game itself, but of the hardware. The same applies with MK8, CAP.T and other Wii U games on the Switch!

13:34 Please, don't turn me into an oversimplified button- AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

[@FlergerBergitydersh]

To clarify #21, you only long jump if you're holding Crouch; jumping off a slope while sliding down it still does a normal jump if you aren't holding the Crouch button, so you have the option of doing either. Not sure why you couldn't long jump off a slope before; it was something that really bothered me. On top of everything else they fixed in this version.

[@marcopolomsp]

16:17 It was perfectly timed that the music fitted so well

[@BMN_Prime]

I immediately noticed everything, also you can speed up insanely fast if you spam the smallest hops

What if they added a cutscene where bowser looks back at the player and the boss fight starts instead of adding a too bad trigger when you do the jump glitch. That would be cool

[@KaijuEdits875]

Though its not intentional...

[@driverkaldie]

Specialy the control set on the Switch explains why Champion's Road is a little more easy on the Switch and that is why most videos on the completion of Champion's Road are more easy. The extra dive jump, even without a cat-suit is handy on the Switch. Of course Champion's Road is still a difficult challenge but since the moves are better on the Switch a lot of the difficulty challenge is gone on that system...I wonder if I can make it in that system, because I certainly can't do ot on the Wii-U...

[@Succer]

Thank you for mentioning this. Nobody else is. They literally ruined the game by making it too easy.
