      I’m pretty sure it can be used as a timer in 3D world. A bullet bill hits each body part of the pokey and when it hits the head, boom. Key

  • @Lithobraker
    @Lithobraker 4 года назад +40

    To be honest, while Mario Maker's contraption potential is a part of the appeal, I think adding elements focused on traditional course design is not a bad idea- and the Pokey is a pretty good example of this.
    It's not all that useful for contraption construction, but for traditional stages, it just 'feels' better than stacks of Spinies, and its unique gameplay, while not that interactive with other elements, is nonetheless just as useful for level design as it's ever been in official games.
    I think Ceave didn't quite rate them fairly, since they're clearly meant more for traditional stages than for contraptions- which makes sense, since he's all about making wacky machines in Mario Maker. Pokeys won't help him push the limits of the game any further.
    I would give Pokeys 4/5 Chargin' Chucks, for being so useful in the creation of traditional stages- particularly desert stages- and for having at least a few neat contraption applications, with the headshot mechanic and 'hanging stack' behavior. It misses out on the last Chuck for being too tall to fit into pipes and blasters, and for having fewer interactions than it could.
    But adding Chucks, especially if they had football/baseball/clappin/whistlin variants, would be really cool. Rip Van Fish, Fire Snakes and Fire Sumos would also be awesome! Fire Snakes and Fire Sumos would also be helpful for lighting bob-ombs, melting frozen coins, and they could interact very well with a type of bomb block which exploded instantly upon being lit or exploded upon- which would allow for crazy contraptions and chain reactions of exploding bomb blocks.

    I found a use for pokeys in a puzzle level I was designing. I needed an enemy that can interact with other enemies and turn them around, but fit in a 1 block wide area, and be able to be defeated without having the player jump on its head. As it turns out, the pokeys were the only ones that perfectly fit what I was looking for so they do have their uses...occasionally.

    While it is true that Pokies don't have many unique use cases, they do have strange niches all to themselves:
    -Pokies are the slowest enemies in the game.
    -Unlike enemy stacks, Pokies can go on tracks and in Lakitu clouds.
    Also unlike enemy stacks, a Pokey will turn around when it hits a block that it's too tall to pass. Regular stacks will instead break.
    -Pokies are more efficient than enemy stacks in both height and the enemy limit.
    With all this in mind, it's clear that Pokies are a kind of "stack 2.0." They serve the same basic use case as a stack, being giant destructible walls, but do that specific thing better.

    What about adding in what sound they make on the music block if they make one at all

      I thought about it, but at this point that'll either be in the Note Block Item Breakdown or in a separate video all about making music levels.

    Maybe Nintendo only added the pokey because it was a popular request, comparing to other itens in the game, pokeys really lack interaction and "unique things" to it, so my guess is that nintendo only add because of how many people asked for it. But who knows, It's just what I think.
