Have to say, it's fun but no more so than SM3dW was. I enjoy playing it but it doesn't call to me when I'm not playing it. If I pick up my Switch I'm more likely to go for Rocket League or Gungeon. Disappointed so far.
I'm finding the opposite, it's very addictive trying to collect all the purple coins in each level. The kids are loving it, thank god for separate saves. It's easily the best 3D Mario game imo.0 -

I'm using it in handheld more with the joy cons attached to the Switch because my setup to use it as a regular console is not great, and while it is no doubt a great game even played that way, I indeed feel like I am missing out not being able to use motion control.
I'm playing it exclusively docked with the Pro Controller. It plays perfectly for me and the only time I've needed motion controls to get a few moons was taking over the frogs to do their extra high jump. Thankfully that's rare as it feels ridiculous shaking the controller.
Up to 243 moons and just reachedThe Luncheon Kingdom.0 -

Didn't realise that the could do an extra high jump, good to know.
For those that say it is easy, I'm post-game with 386 moons and it is getting much trickier, plenty of tricky platforming with some under tight time limits.
Reckon I'll get to 500 and then start BOTW, going back to Mario ever now and again to get more moons.0 -

Thought I'd made it to the luncheon kingdom everyone talks about.... but I was stuck on top of a platform way up in the sky and couldn't do anything but go back the sneaky way I came.
A little underwhelmed by New Donk City initially, as there seemed to be large areas that are completely unpopulated, almost as if I'd jumped behind a wall I wasn't supposed to. Eventually it was all explained away but it seemed like uncharacteristically sloppy level design to let me go there in the first place. And then the city won me over
Still playing it, so clearly it's still fun, but it hasn't changed my life or my view of gaming like BotW did. One massive thing in it's favour is that unlike, say, SM3DW (where you're running from A to B and if you can't get to B you can't progress) when you hit a bit that frustrates you you have the freedom to throw yourself at it endlessly or walk away and do something else. And in a weird way that makes you more motivated to conquer that jump or wall slide or whatever it is, because no one is making you do it.
I had been ignoring the purple coin shop until last night, finally understand what the non-outfit bits and bobs are for and realised that I've been missing a lot of flavour in my inter-world cut-scenes. It's a fun little incentive to search every nook and cranny.0 -

I can't do that hat-jump reliably. I don't think that's going to change. I'm playing undocked most of the time, and 80% of the time I Ground-Pound, the other 20% I jump and the hat comes back. The button you have to hold to keep the hat out is the same button you have to tap in conjunction with the ground-pound button to lunge, so it's a weird jump-tap-tap'n'hold that I can't get my hands to do.
I've done it once or twice but never under pressure From watching my 4 and 9 year olds playing together, it might be easier with 2 people (or 2 controllers), you can move the hat to exactly where you want it to be and leave it there for damn near as long as you like. Handy for reaching tough areas that only require 1 fancy jump where you're not under time pressure . 0 -

I'm getting better at it but still not great under pressure like when you are running against the koopas! You definitely need to be able to do it consistently in those situations!0 -

Is this the double hat jump you are all talking about? I couldn't do it for ages but then it clicked and is second nature now. The sequence I use is:
press B (to jump),
press Y (to throw hat),
press and hold ZL + Y (to fly towards hat and jump on it),
after Mario jumps on the hat the first time (you'll hear a sound) - then let go of ZL+Y and repeat the same combo:
press Y (to throw hat),
press and hold ZL + Y (to fly towards hat and jump on it)
I think the important sequence I wasn't getting initially was the holding down of ZL+Y until after Mario jumps on the hat. So the press Y, press and hold ZL+Y combo is just repeated twice either side of the first hat throw. Hope that helps. 0 -

No, it doesn't help at all
Because I'm struggling to do the single hat bounce and now I know I'm expected to pull it off twice
in a row, like.
Jaysus!
:pac:
Just tried it there in undocked mode (I normally play with the Pro Controller) and it's a little bit more awkward with the smaller trigger and buttons.
What about just trying the forward somersault jump instead?
B, ZL+Y
Actually ZL+Y is really hold ZL then press Y quickly after.
Get that down and you just need to put a Y in between. 0 -
