I Feel Like Mario As A Metroidvania Is A Concept That Hasn't Been Explored As Much As It Should

i feel like Mario as a metroidvania is a concept that hasn't been explored as much as it should

i feel like it's rich with potential for that

I don't think you could implement anything like the standard upgrade treadmill without doing violence to Mario's basic idiom. When I picture a Mario game with a large interconnected world, I see something less like a metroidvania and more like the sub-game "The Great Cave Offensive" from Kirby Super Star; i.e., there'd be no permanent upgrades, but a wide range of temporary, mutually exclusive powerups, most of which can only be obtained in particular regions of the map, with the open-world traversal being purely a challenge of routing – identifying an obstacle at point A as requiring a powerup which can only be obtained at point B, and figuring out how to travel between those two points using the capabilities that powerup provides.

it looks off to me for some reason. I kinda just made it because I was bored, maybe ill turn it into a puzzle element...

Inventory Update Notices

Pretty minor, the inventory backend was the harder more impressive part. I really need to work on animations for lifting objects lol

UI revamp. Yes, I revamped the look without implementing any of them, no I will not explain myself. We're getting kinda close to the future... I'm gonna run out of content to post daily lol.

Explosives Cont.

Physics objects are really fun to play with! Another reason you should just make a 3D game with an isometric perspective instead of a pure 2D one. Not to say you couldn't do this in pure 2D...

Anyway, I guess this means I need to come up with a reason you'd find a ton of crates lying around. Maybe a warehouse level... and a quest to find a needle in a crate stack...?
