Sonic: I'm drowning!
Mario: I'll save you!
Sonic: *panics*
Mario: Arrgh! What are you doing? We'll both drown!
*Mario and Sonic fall into the depths of the kiddy pool they are stuck in*
Kirby: *Epic grin*
ANYWAYS....
It was said in Super Mario Galaxy 2 that most power-ups would return, but here's a valid point: One of the most fun-to-use power-ups, the Ice Flower, did NOT return, despite being included in NSMBW.
Besides which, the time limit on the Fire Flower is a silly addition and really takes away the fun of the Fire Flower.
Just thought I'd point that out.
Nintendo should've ditched the Spring Mushroom and included the Ice Flower instead. I was appalled when I pressed a switch and froze a lake, instead of freezing the water as I landed on it, and wall-jumping up a waterfall.
