the player is not pressing the A button

there is a chance that the player is not pressing the A button to swim See, in Super Mario Galaxy, it's possible to swim very, very slowly by simply tilting the analog stick So it's further possible that the "uneducated", "casual", goldfish brained, instruction manual losing player might not be swimming full speed.Here's what goes on in the mind of a replica Cartier w2006951 Men's watch player who is not swimming full speed, and does not know how to swim full speed:1 "Man, this sure is taking a long time."2 "Maybe that penguin was lying to me when he said I had to swim all the way to the far shore.

"3 "For God's sake, why does it have to be so far?"How do we solve this? By telling every player, regardless of his current course of action, that he can press the A button to swim faster (even if he is swimming as fast as he can)? That would be the Nintendo replica Cartier w2601556 Men's watch way I'll give you a minute to think of some better ways Go ahead It'll feel good You'll feel smarter than Nintendo game designers?Did you solve the riddle?

The better solutions would involve:1 Making Mario swim fast all the time, when you just press the analog stick2 Making the far shore much closerSolution #1 would sacrifice some of the game's illusion of "depth".Solution #2 would sacrifice some of the game's illusion of "scale".Keep in mind that, when we use the word "illusion", we're not being replica Cartier we1001r8 Men's watch snippy — games are, in and of themselves, not real It's all illusions Just that some illusions are better than others.
