Munchers

Why are people so against floating/staked munchers? Here is a list of a few things that are allowed to be floating/stacked:

- Coins
- All blocks
- Non-cutoff ground
- Non-cutoff Water
- Pipes

So why not munchers?
It doesn't look good. Like cutoff.

Because munchers are plants. Plants should be growing off of something. Those other things don't look odd when they're floating. But if you absolutely NEED your hack to have floating/stacked munchers, just change the GFX or something.

Edit: I said "changed". XD
Good fucking bye.
Like what GoldenSonic15 said before. Unlike blocks, which in the mario universe are allowed to float, even plants cross the line for it. It's a very cliche and newbie mistake to make them stacked, which looks bad, or floating, which makes them look weird. (It's like putting a floating bush or tree in the air.)
And Munchers can't be stacked because you don't normally see a plant growing from another one, do you?

You don't normally see a giant biting flower come out of giant pipes, and little yellow people that throw endless amounts of hammers out of nowhere, and large cannons that shoot out perfectly straight bullets with angry faces, do you?

Well yeah, but those giant biting flowers at least have their stems connected to something... Munchers have stems for a reason, and just placing them in midair or in screen-high towers just looks awkward and strange.
Now, if you had a tower of Munchers growing at all angles off a central vine...that would be awesome.
It looks lazy and amateurish. Most hacks that rely on huge quantities of munchers for their difficulty end up feeling tedious, at least in my experience.

Jesus Christ, do you have to be the antagonist everywhere you go.
Think of it like this. If Nintendo DID NOT put floating munchers, you shouldn't either.

(...Then again, all of that chocolatey stuff wouldn't be allowed.)

Damn, does your ignorance to realism vs alternate video game universes know no bounds? You give everyone on here headaches, if not literally.

Back on topic, munchers stacked on top of one another...I agree with everyone here, the point's pretty moot at this point, it's like beating a dead horse with floating/stacked munchers. You're damned if you do, you're in the clear if you don't. But like Supertails said, if there was a clever little Muncher mechanic (ie Munchers coming out of vines, rotating Munchers, etc.), Muncher-ing would prove to be less noob-ish if done right :)
Muh
i think maybe u guys didnt see my posts meaning maybe? i was tryin to say that its just a vidoe game. so the hole "u dont see plant growing on another plant" is invalid . in other words its a video game and nonthin else makes sense so stacked munchers should be ok. still makes no sence? then idk oh well.

Either way, floating munchers look appauling, whether they make sense or not. And typically, video games have some ties with reality. Mario does have walking mushroom men, floating blocks, and evil turtles, but it also has a feeling of morality; i.e. Mario tries to save the princess for the sake of good.
I can see where you're getting at internoob. I just see it this way. Mario games never had floating munchers so hacks shouldn't either. So Mario games don't make sense...munchers aren't part of the "not making sense" cannon in Mario games.
Even when I first discovered hacking, I always knew there was something wrong with floating Munchers.

If you look closely, you'll see a tiny bit of Cutoff.
And... the worst part of Floating munchers is that some people associate them with kaizo hack (in a kaizo hack you see a lot of floating/stacked munchers).

I like munchers, especially floating ones.
But i have a firm grip on reality, so I don't either use floating muchers, and i don't overuse muchers.

Why would a plant float in the air? Why would plants be growing on top of other plants? Floating munchers and of the stacked variety make no sense and is unreal. It contains cut-off and doesn't look great at all.

Internoob, even if it is a video game, IT JUST LOOKS WRONG.
Good fucking bye.
