Let's Wander the World- Mario Is Missing!

New York!

Cairo.

One interesting note... I put in the code for this level and because it doesn't load after the battle with the Koopa, Luigi enters the room through the door of the level instead of the metal gate as usual. Didn't realize the game corrected for that!



Two for Cairo!



And I immediately receive confirmation that giving away the cities ahead of time is acceptable:



So there ya go.





The map didn't go too well... unfortunately I couldn't figure out exactly where this mosque was, but I took a guess. Anyway, I've zoomed in on the pyramids, which are fun to look at!

Also, Wikipedia has this map, which is quite cool:

The river cuts through the city and yet again the building layout respects that. Neat architecture in the background, too.



Anyway, here's what's missing:









The floors may be getting more difficult, as a number of questions I was asked at the information booths was not in the pamphlets. Thankfully the pyramid ones were easy, but there may be more questioning the populace in future updates.

A new version of the "time to get a watch" joke:



And the required "other Mohammed Ali" reference (FYI: Spellcheck doesn't like that version or "Muhammed" which is what I'm used to. It wants me to spell it "Mohamed", which looks bizarre).:





I did not know the word klaft! I'm learning! Hooray!



And who doesn't like a Dr. Seuss reference?



Why are Turkey and Greece options? "Yes, I am sure the Sphinx, which I am looking at right now, is not in the country I'm currently in."

The Great Pyramid of Giza



The Sphinx



The Mosque of Muhammad Ali



And one vote for Tokyo, one for New York (unless you two want to change), more votes please!:

New York
Rio de Janeiro
Tokyo
London

My brother went to Cairo on business just recently. He was terrified that someone, somehow was going to find out our father had been born in Israel.

I told him he was being dumb and sure enough he was being dumb.

Well, I went with New York and Tokyo.



New York! Land of tweaked-out Koopas engaging in staring contests,



Commercialism, trash in the streets,



And Big Brother.



Edit: The music!

So this appears to be the first Google Map of these cities that has street view! I'm fairly surprised by that, honestly. And it seems it didn't have that view near the Statue of Liberty, but here's Rockefeller Center and a not-very-good view of the Empire State Building.

You're asking me a question about the exact object I'm returning?



I actually had no idea it was closed once a year.





Okay, first of all, I'm returning King Kong which is bizarre enough. Then a Star Wars reference?





I picked this entirely because I thought it was funny . . .



. . . and it was right!

Statue of Liberty



Empire State Building



Bonus: King Kong



Rockefeller Center

Good ol' digitized New York C: Gotta love the jazzy tune.

Edit: Shinji reminded me to add a link to the music! Went back and added New York's as well.

Onto Tokyo! Hopefully someone has been to one of these places, since it seems like a million people here have been to Japan and I've never been anywhere in Asia.



Which is much cleaner than New York although I have no idea what is up with the buildings.













The Google Map for Tokyo even gives train trip suggestions if you only have two destinations! Way to look bad, New York! I tried to argue with Street View for a bit, but gave up. Anyone know if there is a way to make it snap to your destinations?

Non sequitur of the day!



The phrase "go on have a feel" should just never be used, ever.



Also... Prop 13? Really? I did not expect that in a video game, much less THIS game.





A new contender for worst pun in the game!



I admit I chuckled.





And quite honestly no one had anything interesting to say about the temple.

Ryogoku Kokugikan



Sensoji Temple



Great Buddha of Kamakura



There are only two cities left and the voting didn't make much sense anyway, so I'll do those two soon.

I really can't get over the Proposition 13 thing. Just bizarre.

Aw, leave them alone. They're having a moment together <3.

I was lollin'.

Google Maps in New York will give you public transit directions between two locations. Or are you talking about something else?

Ah, okay, it seems that Tokyo defaults to public transit while New York defaults to using a car, I just didn't notice the link on the New York map before adding the third destination.

And onto the next!













Rio de Janeiro!

It's really pretty! Seriously, I want to live in this house.



Honestly? No one here had ANYTHING interesting to say. So here's the cactus guy in front of some text!

They stole a mountain and a beach. That's pretty hardcore.

Christ the Redeemer



Copacabana Beach



Sugar Loaf Mountain

And the final city!













London!

Good for you!



Eek.



I actually can't think of what the third one is right now. I'm sure it'll come to me.





I... don't think it's usually this colour.

Big Ben



Westminster Abbey



Tower of London

And another boss battle!


It's so ferocious Luigi loses his head!



But he gets it back and prevails!



What's this, a new chamber, and a switch that opens a door?





Gasp!



Oh no!



What shall we do????

What, did you expect pulling the switch again to close the door or something? That'd be weird.



There are no words for the rest of this, so I'm just going to post the screens.

Anyway, that's the end of this Let's Play! I hope you enjoyed yourselves, I definitely enjoyed this more once I figured out how to streamline the posts.

Yay!

Holy shit... is he threatening to decapitate Luigi if he doesn't find it?

Most anticlimactic ending ever.

Thanks for the great LP, ViolentVixen! I had a great time following along, and even learned a thing or two from it as well.

Oh shit, it's a Luigi imposter!
