Well, it's pretty obvious that the stage show-like design was purposely done, since it's consistent throughout the whole game AND the title screen has a curtain coming up. It's just a question of whether it was done for artistic purposes only.

Yeah, the design itself seems intentional but the whole idea that its a show is really hard to prove/disprove since their is no real evidence beyond the stage design itself. Its an interesting theory though.

I know a lot of people who were blown away but that but I think somewhere in the back of my head I knew that because I was barely impressed by it. I just kind of shrugged it off as "meh" and kept playing the game. : p

It IS pretty interesting, I agree. Whether it be true or not. I don't think I should really fry my brain overthinking it though.

I'm doing this thing I'm calling "Project Nintendo".

Basically I play pretty much all Nintendo 1st party main games. I recently finished the first 3 SMBs, Land 2, and World. It's amazing.

The line-guided platforms appeared in other games too though.

Though it is a plausible theory, I don't personally think it was "just" a play, because then Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, and Super Mario Bros 2 were plays too (although PM:TTYD is staged as a play, one of the characters claims it's a play reenacting one of Mario's adventures), and Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story were just books.

Just for accuracy, SMB2 was a dream.

Anyone know the World 8 Castle maze by heart? Because I keep forgetting everytime I play Super Mario Bros. ._.

I"ll most likely play Super Mario Advance 4 and put a cheat to unlock all the E-Reader stages if they have any in the US, if not then I have to play the japanese one.

Yeah, but there were curtains in SMB2 too. The ending was a give away it was a dream, but maybe he was dreaming about a show? lol

Virtually all of the good cards are for the japanese e-reader (Boomerang Suit anywhere, ten more levels, etc.) unfortuantely, not to mention they're rare.
