Super Mario 64: Shindou Edition (Shindou is Japanese for "tremor") is a re-release of Super Mario 64 in Japan that supports the Rumble Pak, and has a few extra features, including a Title Screen Easter Egg, where if you press the Z Button, Mario's face will multiply in the background. But enough on that. On to how it played using the Reality Glove...
It wasn't the easiest thing in the world, I can tell you that right now. My wrist is killing me.
See, to control Mario using the Glove, you need to hold your hand sideways, as if picking up a Drink Glass. Then, you need to tilt your hand upwards to move him forward, down to move him backwards, and so on. Because the Glove is so sensitive to movement, this made the game unusually difficult to play.
I first noticed the difficulty while scaling the spiral Bob-omb Mountain to get to the Bob-omb King. Because you'll likely be tilting your hand upwards constantly, you'll find yourself hugging the wall a lo, which slows progress significantly. When you finally do get to the top of the mountain, you'll find yourself having to deal with the King.
As you all probably know, you have to get behind him, grab him, and throw him 3 times to defeat him. Simple, yes? Not this time, friend. Sure, it's easy enough to get behind him the first time, but the second and third times will have you twirling your hand, and in turn, your wrist, trying to get behind him, possibly causing carpal tunnel.
I thought about quitting after beating him, but I wanted to experiment a little further, so I tried the race with Koopa The Quick. Big mistake.
As I mentioned before, you'll be hugging the wall a lot, so once you get to the mountain, the race becomes that much more challenging. You might even fall off the top before hitting the flag! All this being said, this is not a game to play with the Reality Glove.
Verdict: Don't even try it.
Well, that's it for the first entry. Check back soon for more!
