That's proposing an ideal world, not the world as it is where Super Stars are much more rare. In that case, the answer should always be Super Star.Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-30624902725507660002021-01-05T14:17:42.991-05:002021-01-05T14:17:42.991-05:00Your elitism vs. commoners perspective ignores tha...Your elitism vs. commoners perspective ignores that only a SPECIAL class of people, in one specific kingdom, benefit from accessing superpowers.<br /><br />As the article said,<br /><br />"Stars are for everyone."<br />"But, as I said, Super Stars aren't limited to one kingdom or a particular race."Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-50930699003308251452021-01-05T12:56:06.420-05:002021-01-05T12:56:06.420-05:00Overall yes I agree with the choice of ‘star’ but ...Overall yes I agree with the choice of ‘star’ but the temporary nature is irksome to me. It also encourages rushing which can lead to doom via other hazards as another commentator brought out. Mushrooms only have the time limit of how long it takes to get a hit. <br /><br />Yes some games make being big a bad thing or cumbersome (SMB:Lost Levels) but that’s a rarer case and mushrooms have at least their more common nature on their side. Stars by contrast are one per level if that. (Except in the levels that do have multiple starmen if you are quick enough to the next block.) So yes.. this made me think. The benefits of the star cannot be ignored in the end so it has my vote, just barely.

There's also situations where a Mushroom is more useful than a Super Star. Like say, underwater levels. With a Super Star you can fight against enemies temporarily, but if you have a Mushroom all you need is to find 1 more power-up and you can fight back all day long.<br /><br />Besides, I'm not coming at this from a purely utilitarian perspective anyway. It's still the pretentious elitist Star vs. the quite literally as well as figuratively down-to-earth Mushroom.Lheticus Viderehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18252286308352529321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-6610098805605930902021-01-05T09:35:17.689-05:002021-01-05T09:35:17.689-05:00(It's actually SUCH a good point maybe I shoul...(It's actually SUCH a good point maybe I should've put it in my original article.)Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-50180979185966514042021-01-05T09:34:48.416-05:002021-01-05T09:34:48.416-05:00How do you explain this:

Not only does being super-sized inhibit one's ability to actually traverse through the level, which wastes Super Star time, but, of course, you won't be able to tank through it with Mushrooms. Only with multiple Super Stars.Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-16312234544551587412021-01-05T09:00:00.084-05:002021-01-05T09:00:00.084-05:00Sorry, but I gotta go with Team Mushroom on this o...Sorry, but I gotta go with Team Mushroom on this one. Not only does a Super Star wear off, the claim of invincibility is also dishonest, since there's things like pits and lava and being crushed by walls (I think, my memory of this 3rd example might be fuzzy) that it doesn't protect from. <br /><br />Meanwhile, the humble Mushroom may only make you bigger and let you take a hit, but it always keeps on going until you do take a hit. It's the honest working-class alternative candidate to the Super Star's dissembling, elitist bourgeoisie!Lheticus Viderehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18252286308352529321noreply@blogger.com
