Anyone else replay this with their sibling on the same TV, both fighting over who steals the last life from the item box? Did that even work well for anyone?

About Super Mario 3D World
Super Mario 3D World is a 3D platformer action game for the Wii U, and a follow-up of the Nintendo 3DS installment Super Mario 3D Land. The game builds upon the previous installment, following a similar 3D level-design convention inspired from the 2D platformer titles where players must navigate through a linear-designed level within a time limit to reach a level's Goal Pole. One key aspect introduced in this title is the simultaneous multiplayer: while not the first game in the series to do so, it is the first 3D title in the Mario series to incorporate up to four players cooperating with each other to reach the goal. Players can select their character from a pool of playable characters prior to starting the game, and each of these characters have their own unique playstyle that gives them advantages and disadvantages over other characters. The game makes use of several Wii U exclusive features, such as tapping blocks with the touch screen on the GamePad and blowing into the mic to reveal hidden items and blow away enemies. Various new power-ups are introduced in this title, with the trademark suit being the Cat power-up, which enables characters to perform a melee attack, climb up walls, and leap while midair, as well as the game generally having a cat-based theme.

The camera issue is real but it only bites in a handful of stages, most of the game reads fine.

I'll say it outright, I've never warmed up to this one and I doubt I ever will, so take my ranking opinion with that in mind.
BossMaster2010
Oh sure, 120th place, right behind games nobody remembers in ten years. Truly a scandal.

my cousin always grabbed the cat bell first, every single time, still bitter about it honestly
EmileWarden
Scandal indeed, this thing wins way more than it loses for a reason.

Total acuerdo, aunque bueno, no es tanto que sea perfecto, es que sigue siendo divertidísimo aunque hayan pasado tantos años ya.

It's cute and well made but calling it a top tier platformer feels generous when the level ideas repeat so much across worlds.

Lo jugué con mi hermana un verano entero, creo, y todavía me acuerdo de esas risas tontas por las peleas de cámara.

Same setup here, did the camera fights ever get resolved or did you two just learn to live with the chaos?

Sibling fights over the item box, name a more iconic Mario duo honestly.

My cousin swears by the multiplayer chaos but solo I just found the levels forgettable.
