Modes!

[gusty gate]

I've conceptualized 3 unique modes for MVLO, I'd like feedback after you read the Content in the screenshots
this was originally posted in MVLO discussion but of course not much happened there so I decided to post this here for potentially more opinions.

last thing, in the screenshots C. stands for changeable, NC. stands for Not changeable

[steep light]

the yoshi game is a fun idea, if not complex to create mechanically. it's like a king-of-the-hill but with the potential for multiple yoshis

i'm not sure how good a gamemode where you cant get items from coins would be... items are already pretty rare to come by in high player count lobbies even with like 3/4 coins per item

[gusty gate]

well that's why the red blocks exist in this mode, which would be very common, it's a change which adds a big twist to the mode and also allows the collectable coins to not be a weird separate thing and instead just be directly coins.
would also allow for a different play style of choosing if you should go for coins or the red block that appeared..

also thoughts on balloon arena?

bump

[gusty gate]

note that I really want it to be added so that deathmatch lobbies could potentially be stopped, by using this mode

and replace deathmatch with a much better alternative

[raven thistle]

My concept for a balloon battle gamemode would be a big balloon instead. The more it is damaged, the smaller it becomes both in size and in number.

Or just do a classic real deathmatch, where everything damages you and getting groundpounded insta-kills you

[gusty gate]

ehh idk
just having a few balloons instead of a balloon that shrinks after each hit is a lot simpler

[raven thistle]

But wouldn't you be able to get most if not all balloons by groundpounding or running with a star towards someone?

Unless there's a limit of course, but wouldn't it still be a little weird to phase through some of the balloons?

[gusty gate]

no?
you steal one from a ground pound while also removing one balloon from theirs

and the starman just does damage and removes their balloon too which I think is good

[raven thistle]

Oh, so you phase through all balloons when groundpounding?

That does make sense

I think I understand now

[gusty gate]

hoo-ray

[strange ether]

i think balloon arena sounds really cool conceptually, it would also be a very creative use for the boss arenas

(i like mario kart ds so im biased, but its fine because i think it sounds generally fun)
Ive also compiled a list of all the different arena themes in my thread here if it helps: https://discord.com/channels/956396409731551263/1469091551387848866

[gusty gate]

I'm only using the themes not the actual arenas the boss arenas used

[strange ether]

ye i think its a good use for these themes as well

[sly silo]

I had the same idea for the yoshi but I didn't bother making a suggestion for it, other than that nice zomble

But the last one seems a bit too complex a bit

[gusty gate]

bump

[gusty gate]

bump

[gusty gate]

I know it seems quite risky but I wanted to make each mode have some sort of twist to it

[split bone]

Bump

I'm too late to bump man..

Did u forget yoshi can just lay eggs with powerups after eating fruits?
