theres no new powerup in 1.8

undone flower
#

most of these are already suggested

#

wait not even most

#

ALL of these are already suggested

#

oh i did

loud geyser
#

theres no new powerup in 1.8 sorry

#

ipodtouch dont care about powerup

undone flower
#

cause ipod has never announced that there will be a new powerup

#

??? no it doesnt

loud geyser
#

undone flower
#

coding is a really hard thing to do

#

you cant just implement a new power up in a flick of a finger

#

HI CUBBY

north cairn
#

All of these have been suggested and rejected, except for the hammer suit which won't be here for a while

#

Hi

loud geyser
#

e

north cairn
#

I'm not sure what you mean

#

Oh

#

Most likely not but there are mods that add content like that

#

My character mod adds 50 characters and MiiBumm's mod (Not released yet) adds about 10 or so new powerups

loud geyser
#

miibumm mod in 2026 trolled

north cairn
#

I don't know when

#

#1056046100999577620 if you'd like to stay updated

#

My mod is released

#

I'm glad you can because some people can't

loud geyser
#

my first version in cubby mod is 1.3.0

grim nacelle
#

pretty much everything here is gonna be in miibumm mod

#

toad toadette

#

penguin suit

#

smm2 super hammer

#

the mod hasn’t been released at all

#

so there isn’t an older version

#

publicly

keen nymph
#

you just said what's wrong with penguin suit

#

it's just a clone powerup but

#

S L I D E

#

Also do you mean boomerang flower or hammer suit? because you said boomerang twice

grim nacelle
#

thats also gonna be in mod

gray shuttle
#

Just because you specified how they'll work doesn't mean that it'll be added

#

"Please add beach" is not really all that different to "please add beach and it will have water"

#

The fact you know this little about game development is amusing but frustrating

gray shuttle
#

Acorn suit:

The reason why people hate propeller is because of how easy it is to gain altitude with it and how spammable it is, making it very difficult to hit the propeller user as anything other than propeller. Acorn suit would make things worse as it allows you to also move horizontally while loosing little to no height.
Penguin suit:
No.
Hammer suit:
No idea how this'll be balanced and I don't actually know if what cubby said about it getting added is true. I also don't know why you explained a boomerang powerup here.
Costumes:
No idea if you're referring to the color palettes, but if that's the case, no, ipod isn't adding custom color palettes into the game. What we are getting however, albeit not in 1.8, is a custom color palette creator using premade colors.
Playable characters:
Not necessarily bad, but also not something that's ever added I don't think. Ipod has stated before the only playable characters will be mario and luigi. They are both in the game's title for a reason, after all

#

Well why not edit the message then?

keen nymph
#

idk

#

he just forgot i guess

#

or didn't want to

#

i also said how he literally just said why penguin suit is not getting added

#

because it's literally ice flower but S L I D E

gray shuttle
#

Yep

#

Kinda cringe, tbh imo smh lol.....

keen nymph
#

clone powerups shall not exist

eager umbra
#

acorn: gliding: too good honestly. propeller is fine bc it's a vertical flying thing. maps are not vertical so it makes it okay. but gliding would allow you in some maps to fly all over the map (ice for example)
giant spinjump: there's no spinjump and ipod said in the past that spinjump has no reason to be added
penguin suit: no. it's ice + blue shell, no need for repeats

keen nymph

#

if i didn't comment about boomerang flower that's because i have nothing to say about it

keen nymph
#

oh

gray shuttle
#

Acorn is just a better propeller and penguin is just ice + shell

eager umbra
#

they might come eventually

#

but for now

#

no

#

(keep in mind i am not a dev so what i say holds no more value than anyone else)

gray shuttle
#

I don't know if ipod said they will come eventually but I do know he said they aren't coming

#

ok so for the penguin suit, make it so you can slide [amount of meters] meters and let it have 1 ice ball at the same time, instead of 2

jagged dune
#

the ice ball still makes it a potential replacement for the ice flower, the ice balls should get taken out all together and just make it slide for a little while if you're not maintain jump momentum

gray shuttle
#

If you reduce the 2 ice balls to 1 and keep the slide, that makes it a really weird hybrid where neither one of it's abilities really gets well utilized

#

No matter what you say about penguin suit, it just shouldn't be in the game

echo bramble
#

lmao these I bet even level maker games don't do that

jagged dune
#

actually nvm, blue shell has the faster swimming too

#

this entire thing puts penguin suit in a very gray area since it's just a mashup of like, 2 other power-ups

worldly blaze
#

☠️

echo bramble
#

if you're saying it'd be implemented within 5 minutes then do it

#

easy to say but not to do

still estuary
#

Ice Flower + Blue Shell = INCREDIBLY OVERPOWERED

#

I already get mad when someone kills me with any of the two, combining them would make them on maps like fortress and bricks unplayable.

worldly blaze
#

(reminder that penguin suit does not damage unlike shell but yeah its literally just combining the 2 of them)

gray shuttle
#

Dealing damage while sliding is not necessarily important when you can already kill people with ice. The sliding only really serves to deal knockback and steal stars

#

So it could very well be used in some sort of slide to ice to pit combo

jagged dune
#

If we wanted to slightly diversify both the sliding for PS and BS, make it so the PS does not slow down for their first encounter with a player, but slow them down once they start consecutively hitting other players

#

One flaw with the PS’s sliding is that it is very easy to bump into someone and lose all of your speed, especially in a game like MvL where most spaces are either cramped or filled to the brim with opponents

gray shuttle
#

I mean, BS works well enough when gaining speed. I'd imagine the same would apply to PS

jagged dune
#

The only difference is that you cant be taken out of BS unless you let go of sprint or someone knocks you out of it

#

Because theoretically, you’re going to last way longer in the BS’s sliding than the PS’s sliding

#

PS stops once it collides with an enemy*, wall, item, or player

#

BS stops when it collides with another item that isn’t a mushroom or BS

gray shuttle
#

I am aware of that, though my point is that it's still easy to start sliding with PS. I do agree with you that it's harder to keep that slide, but then I realized that you never said it's hard to start 🥴

jagged dune
worldly blaze
#

serious gamer discussion

gray shuttle
jagged dune
#

Sure its easier to start, probably easier than BS, but it wouldn’t matter since you’d be stopped soon enough

gray shuttle
#

I never even considered the fact that PS stops very easily, so it's actually just worse than I thought whenever I dismissed the idea previously

jagged dune
#

Its fine

#

People assume BS and PS are the same in ways, and its true, but the bottom line is that they’re EXTREMELY different power ups

gray shuttle
#

I can't believe I keep learning new shit about this powerup every time we talk about how bad it is 😭😭😭

jagged dune
#

Its like saying acorn and propeller are the same

#

Sure, they are in VERTICAL distance

gray shuttle
#

PS is worse than ice or BS just like acorn is worse than propeller

jagged dune
#

But the acorn has better horizontal game than propeller,

gray shuttle
#

Yeah because it can hold onto walls without sliding and because it also has lots of great horizontal mobility while airborn

jagged dune
#

Its too OP for MvL, the propeller is a better fit than the acorn ever will be

gray shuttle
#

And since this game doesn't have spinjumps, it's safe to assume it also increases your normal jump instead, assumming it doesn't add a spinjump in the powerup button. That's not even mentioning the fact ipod has stated before spinjumps are unecessary to add and therefore will never be added to mvlo

''cant wait to get acorn suit in monocoin 99 star 1 life deathmatch in MvL and just travel in the air the entire round while collecting stars since draw on time up is off i dont need to fight people i can just make them suffer :star_struck''

jagged dune
#

Lmao

gray shuttle
#

Propeller players when they see a superior powerup added

jagged dune
#

Ik others have said it before, but i believe that Hammer Suit would actually work really well for this game, especially for mini campers

#

I don’t see any down sides with it

#

But any item will have their first stinkers

#

Not to mention, it can also crap on propellers since the hammers go up when thrown

#

Boomerang flower is also cool, since it can hit others behind you trying to chase you down

gray shuttle
#

Boomerang I find unecessary, but hammer does have potential

jagged dune
#

If any power up were to get in MvL, it has to be hammer, no doubt

#

I think it could enhance gameplay more than it wouldn’t

gray shuttle
worldly blaze
#

^hammer suit from smb3

jagged dune
gray shuttle
#

You're better off turning around while airborn and them shooting fire/ice

gray shuttle
jagged dune
#

Should’ve specified that

gray shuttle
#

It follows you in smm2

#

Since it's based off 3d world, which is based off 3d land

jagged dune
#

Actually, would it be better that once you throw it forwards and avoid it while its going back, it continues going backwards?

#

Like it never chases you down, and disappears once it collides with someone, collides with a wall going backwards, or after a set amount of time with it being activated

worldly blaze
#

boomerang bro

jagged dune
#

||(Also it would only shoot one out but i think we all knew that)||

jagged dune
#

So not having them in would justify the difference

gray shuttle
#

If it really were to be added, it should do something that isn't offense

worldly blaze
#

use the boomerang for mobility (?)

#

throw it and u can jump off of it

#

but that'd just be cappy

#

/cloud flower

#

not to mention, more spammable

#

it would be cool tho

gray shuttle
#

Cuz, like you said, it'll only throw 1 boomerang at a time. Also, before it returns, it only bounces around like 3 or so times on walls. It also bounces if it hits an enemy or a player, but if it hits anything while it returns, it just breaks

gray shuttle
worldly blaze
gray shuttle
#

I'm talking like utility, or maybe even offense

#

Utility as in it collects coins for you. Offense as in it breaks ice or fire balls without breaking itself

#

Not both, by the way. I'd say only one should apply

#

We already have an example of what happens when a powerup is too good at offense, defense, and utility

jagged dune
#

you dont get an item to collect coins and then just get another item afterward

gray shuttle
#

True, yeah

jagged dune
#

i mean ice flower can do pretty much all three things you said

keen nymph
gray shuttle
#

And you want to combine mega with blue shell?

#

Great

#

I mean, we already talked in full detail as to why this powerup shouldn't be added

#

And yet here you still are giving terrible rebalances to it's ability that doesn't even help at all. Your changes will make the penguin suit very bad in a unusable sense instead of an overpowered sense

#

It's all an act of balance

#

If you want a game to be fun, it needs that balance (of course this depends on the game and not every game does need that balance to be fun but details)

#

I mean, yeah that's fair, but you do realize you don't have to respond anyways right? PocketNate

#

To further disagree, making freeze mechanics changes specific to penguin suit and not also ice flower feels like a bit of too much subtle trivia for MvL's gameplay, ice and penguin suit had the same freeze mechanics in NSMBWii

gray shuttle
#

Well it's not necessarily changing much aside from the freeze duration, but even still, yeah I do agree with you

#

Besides, a player stays frozen for 2 seconds and 1 additional second is added for a reason

#

And it's not like decreasing that 2 to 1.75 will do much aside from being a very trivial change that does nothing but annoy people

still estuary
#

Heres a new idea. Instead of penguin suit being able to freeze people, it instead creates ice blocks like when it freezes people. You can stand and wall jump on them for help in platforming and even throw them. Only the user can throw them though.

gray shuttle
#

That's definetly an interesting concept

#

But what use would it have?

#

Especially when barricading people thing contradicts with the sliding idea?

keen nymph
#

#

being able to spawn blocks that are not able to be picked up also sounds like a nightmare for Fortress
