Actually, yesterday I discovered that you unlock Luigi when you are in
World 8-4

How did you find this out?

[SlowPokemon]

He saw it in Iwata Asks... it says "Luigi appears in the special world" right after talking about the ORIGINAL SMB unlocking a secret mode after 8-4. Has nothing to do with SM3DL, it doesnt say anything about a world 8-4. So he's wrong.

[Olimar12345]

Ah.

[DonValentino]

So they are not having stars...just the stupid flagpole and the stupider star medals...if they use a map system I will be severely disappoint. And btw Warioman, you are wrong...nowhere does anything suggest  Luigi will be unlocked at that   level.

In any case, this sites are wrong:

It has been revealed that Luigi will be playable in Super Mario 3D Land in special stages after completing world 8-4.
Super Mario 3D Land is being developed by Nintendo for the 3DS and will be in stores on November 13th in North America.

I read the Iwata asks, and NOWHERE DOES IT SAY THERE IS A WORLD 8-4 AT ALL. XD that site is wrong.

Ok, whatever... 
The thing is that Luigi is playable after all... Who cares when? 


Oh! And WTF, NINTENDO??? Seriously, QUEEN BEE ON MARIO KART 7?!? It's not that I don't like her, but instead they could have included a more epic character! 

They have K Rool, Fawful, Dimentio, King Boo, the Koopalings including Bowser Jr, Funky, Diddie, Dixie and Candy Kong, Princess Shroob, Petey Piranha and even some of WarioWare... How about Mona, Jimmy T. or Dr. Crygor? 
But nooooooooooooo... It had to be Queen Bee... -_-

Anyways, It's good to see Wiggler, Metal Mario and Lakitu. Just hope they include more chracters...

Where did you hear this?

Where did you hear this?

Here's an article. It cites Nintendo Power as the source so I'd say that's pretty trustworthy.
Metal Mario is an extremely redundant character and Wiggler/Queen Bee really is a goofy decision. I just want them to announce Dry Bones again! Waluigi would be a good choice too. Lakitu was kind of a cool surprise I suppose, but I hope that doesn't lead to some slippery slope where we'll be able to play as Goombas, Thwomps, or other random Mario enemies. (Though a random Mario enemy is my favorite character...)

What's wrong with the goal pole? This isn't Mario Galaxy 3 you know. It's supposed to be a continuation of NSMB and the like, but with a more modern Mario flair. The flagpole is just as integral to the Mario franchise as the star is. Also, Star Medals add a lot more replayability because it encourages you to explore the level. I'm really excited to aim for 100% completion on this game. Really, I don't know why these things are so detrimental to the game for you.

Wow, Olimar... Use google, for god's sake! 

[Olimar12345]

I just didn't see it anywhere that I usually check for game-related news. plus I was kinda calling you out, hoping that you had made it up. Sigh...  :I

Cause searching for a hidden star is about 10x the fun of a bunch of straightforward flagpole ending levels. NSMB is fun but SM64/Galaxy is far superior.

I agree with you that finding a star is more fun. SM64 is probably my favorite Mario game because of its non-linearity, but I don't want every Mario game to be that way. I think it's pretty cool that they're doing a mix of 2D and 3D stuff and am glad that they're both trying something new and old at the same time. Really, if they had just put a star at the end of each level instead of a flagpole, it would've only been an aesthetic change. But hey, everyone's got their own opinion.

[SlowPokemon]

Of course! I was just hoping this to be more of a Galaxy type game. It's sort of a mix between 3D and 2D isn't it? I mean, 3D world, but powerups and flagpoles. XD either way, it's going to be tons of fun.
