Why are Coral Tiles Portalable?
I just don't understand why they would be, and I just think it looks wrong.
Because the point of the SMB mappack in Mari0 is to give Mario a portal gun that can be used anywhere and everywhere. It'd just be stupid to allow using the portal gun on anything but the coral.
Besides, you can always, I dunno, just NOT place a portal on the coral if it's that much of a problem.

Even though that's true, he still has a point. It really does look wrong.idiot9.0 wrote:Because the point of the SMB mappack in Mari0 is to give Mario a portal gun that can be used anywhere and everywhere. It'd just be stupid to allow using the portal gun on anything but the coral.

I've noticed this before, but thought nothing of it because I rarely use the portal gun underwater
There's not many other surfaces to portal underwater, so coral tiles ended up being portalable too. Would be a bit stupid giving someone a toy and telling them they can't play with it near a lava pit. That's why pretty much everything in SMB mappack is portalable.

I have played games for a long time so I have seen things that look more wrong than that. You can even place a portal under a bridge block and the portal appears to be floating.
Dear Villager, please look at the date of the last post of a thread before posting a new message. As you can see, the last post was in April.
Posting a message in a thread that hasn't had activity for a good bit is known as "bumping", and is generally frowned upon on this forum, especially in threads that have had the answer posted.
Please try to look at post dates from now on and refrain from bumping threads. Thank you.
Sincerely
-idiot9.0. Your resident asshole.

*Cough*Unless your adding something to the discussion*Cough*
But that's a good point, in reality, the portal on a coral plant wouldn't work.
"Bumping threads is fine as long as you add something to the discussion or bring up to date information regarding it. Bumping with just "this is cool/terrible/whatever" is pointless and wastes everyone's time. If your thread is inactive, you can use the board's Bump Thread feature, which is available after 3 days of inactivity in the lower left corner of the page."

This answered the question of the thread back in april, so even though Villager was contributing a tiny bit, it was still not worthy of a bump IMO.Sašo wrote:There's not many other surfaces to portal underwater, so coral tiles ended up being portalable too.

I hate to speak about the tech aspects in SMB1, but considering how this was brought up: even if the bridge tiles look 16 x 8, in SMB1 they occupy a full solid 16x16 tile. If you were to edit a SMB1 ROM to allow access under a bridge tile, you'd get the same solid empty space that Mari0's bridge tiles give you.Villager103 wrote:You can even place a portal under a bridge block and the portal appears to be floating.

I think, in SE, bridges should be platforms, and corals should be grates. That would make the most sense.

Orbit was annoying, but I held my tongue. Having two people do it though...
