It’s almost as if you’ve been transported from a Mario game into a bullet hell shooter. On top of that, you’re also assaulted by the weasels that drive the tanks and they sometimes pop out to toss wrenches at you. The final tank in the level also comes equipped with gigantic cannon capable of delivering Mario-sized cannonballs your way. And, much like those airships, the music of 8-1 is a haunting symphonic march that brings out the evil essence of the level.Įach cannon the tanks are equipped with has a different type of ammo and aim cannonball guns that shoot in either direction or angled in the sky, flamethrowers that spit out a jet of hot death, and Bob-om-spawning cannons. Truly terrifying the only things previously seen in the game this powerful were the various airships the Koopa Kids called home. Random shells go off in the background, causing explosions of color as you make your way through the black cavalcade. World 8-1 is, in essence, a parade of death tanks, each equipped with a vast arsenal of cannons. I new I was in for a real challenge I didn’t realise I was never going to beat the damn thing.
The first time I arrived there, I was awestuck at the level design because the game I was previously enjoying was full of light and color and whimsy, now looked like some sort of ravaged warzone, complete with craters and waves of flame.
