Supreme funness.


What, I need something more specific? Okay...


What I'm really hoping for is an interesting battle system, or lots of puzzles, or anything to assuage the boredom of battle after battle after battle... I don't really like most mainstream RPGs, cause it gets downright repetitive. I didn't even really like SMRPG *gasp!* *horror!*. I liked the Golden Sun series cause of all the overworld puzzles, M&L:SS cause of the involving battle system (and humor!), and Paper Mario because... well... the Badge system I guess, and the fact that you could calculate the numbers in your head. I guess.

Oh, and t3h Pokemon! You actually had to THINK during battles! *gasp* Well, at least if you aren't like 90 levels ahead, but at the elite four you really had to manage when to use your potions, when to switch and take the hit and when to stay, etc.

The Fonz!

And have a Skree as a major boss.

... A Metal Skree! :D with a cloned Fonz thats evil and tries to take over the universe or something.

No, Fonz has to be an overworld item so you can throw him for puzzles... and such.

You gotta add the Fonz-man as a pseudo playable (meaning there would be times to use him as an item and other times to use him as an actual character), and make a Giant Metal (or even better, Phazon :D) Skree a major boss of the game. ;)

I was going to suggest having the Fonz join Houston, but I guess I was a little late for that ^__^

You must have Ice Cream for a weapon. Ice Cream is the solution to virtually everything, so you should have it as the ultimate weapon.

Houston uses Ice Cream!

Skree takes 700 damage!

...or maybe not. But hey, it would be fun ^__^

(will there be Metroids in it?)

Well i would like to see some metroid ish items but not exactly the ones in any metroid games. Like stuff that samus could pick up but never has. Or maybe some over the top versions of them. I liked that power grip comic. And thats basically what imean. Some stuff ment for Houston not for samus.

Cameos. Gotta have cameos. Maybe Toozin can be the final boss, and other stuff like that.
Also voice overs. That would be cool.

how about at one point you have to race someone in a metroid tobbogan?

Anything that appeared in Maru Mari will suit. And also, I must say, I agree with Yoshi 100%...er, maybe 90%, cause I'm a poor, deprived person who doesn't own M&L:SS and has only played 5 min. in the store.

cmon people, that cant be all of the ideas/questions o.o;

Hmmm... *thinks* What if... Houston has to save Samus from some evil band of robots? Or... A Surprise ending were Dr. Eggman is behind all this or something like that. I don't really know, but I'm sure more ideas will come up sooner or later.

i prolly shoulda said this earlier, but i also would like to hear thoughts about it as an RPG, not just as Maru Mari. like, what kinda things do you hate/like in RPGs and such.

Use FFIIj's system of stats. If you use missles, your missles will upgrade. If you use bombs your proficency with bombs will get better.

I know a guide that has its system in it. I'll post a link when I find it.

Lets see, how about

1. The final boss is a giant mecha skree

2. Those 2 people that you were fighting in another game (I think it was like comic 50) are bosses.

3. The element of sequence breaking :)

4. You know the suit upgrades (varia and gravity and phazon), well. Make it so that the armor you wear houston are different bits, 8-bit is weakest and 32-bit is strongest.

5. A DOLPHIN BEAM (if you've read Savage Boredom, you'll know what I'm talking about)

6. If you beat the game in less than an hour, Houston takes off his suit to see that he's actually A GIRL!

7. Make the battles interesting, I hate RPGs with a boring battle system (you attack, he dies, you win)

8. Hard as **** bosses

9. Chozos

10. In one part of the game, you have to steal Samus's ship

11. The educational program about Metroids breeding (I beleive you when you said you were looking at horny teen sluts)

12. Maybe in the world map, you can shoot your beam and morph into a ball.

13. If you do number 12, then maybe you should level up in morph ball skills: level 10 lets you bomb jump, 20 double bomb jump, 30 diagnol bomb jump, 40 IBJ, 60 HBJ, 99 infinite power bombs

I got millions more but the majority of these are stupid.

I think that's a BAD idea... that just encourages you to do the same damn move over and over again until you die of boredom.

Just out of curitousity, how is the game coming along? Thats if, you  started already.
Houston

We are still in planning stages, and we are almost done. all we need to do are enemies, and maps, then we can start constructing the game. Its coming along faster than i expected.

I'd like mini games such as the ones in FF7. The taboggan (sp?) racing sounded cool. Maybe some skree dodging too. (like the icicle game for TI calculators).

Houston can't be a serious person in this game like in other characters in games either. He just wouldn't be Houston if he was.
