Ideas for new toasters

Hi there,

I was playing Mario Cart for my N64 today and had some ideas for new toasters...

Please comment on what you think

Random Toaster

This toaster would appear as much as the red or green toasters, except it can be any toaster when you pick it up. I was tired of people seeing a orange toaster and everyone leaving people to go get it, so this would solve the problem. They would not know what toaster is it until it is picked up. It would of course have a low chance of being a good toaster, but it would be possible

HP Toaster

This toaster would, for one map, give you more XP. For example, when picked up, your max HP would increase by 25 for the map that you are on, and then would go back down for the next map

Sprint Toaster

Like the one above, for one map, your spead would be increased by 25% or something like that, and would go down when the next map started. This would be both in water and on dry land.

Swing Toaster

Same as above, swing would be increased for one map.




Good ideas? Or complete fail?

 

I like the random toaster idea, if we can actually code that. I'd probably make it about the same drop rate as the points and exp toasters, but work the chance percentages based on the current drop rates for toasters.

The temp-skill ideas are pretty nice too, we'd just need to see which upgrades/skills they would work well for. I think the three you have up there right now would be good choices, and I imagine the drop rates would have to be comparable to that of the double exp toasters.

I'll post toaster ideas of my own as I think of them too

 

I would go for the random toaster only..

The hp, sprint and swing toaster is in favour of allowing survivor surviving longer.. and currently, for a level 100+ players, they already have way enhance speed, swing and HP.. anymore will just make the game imbalance..

and players are complaining of rushing alot now.. so if a rusher has more of this.. less teamplay i guess especially with sprint toaster.. the player may want to utilise the speed toaster fully and just rush like mad..

 

You could make the random toaster have a chance of some negative effects such as -hp or -speed, etc

 

I do like the idea of upgrade toasters, although certainly not to the extent that Chocobo suggested. I think a good idea for the upgrade toasters is to temporarily set a players level in that skill to the max level, so its usefulness goes down as you become higher level. The health toaster, for example, would set the maximum health of a player to 225 for a round. The drop rates, also, would be pretty low, on par with the double exp or multitoaster.

 

Random Toaster is a great idea all though i don't like the other toasters it would be too many toasters.

And personally i'd rather have points or exp over sprint and hp for one map. But that's only because i'm low level, if i was high level i couldn't care less about any exp or points toaster.

 

How about a toaster that will change it's type after awhile? That might make players to consider waiting awhile before picking it up instead of being a toaster whore.

And how about a toaster that will change into a blank toaster after awhile?

What about an evil toaster that hypnotizes you with it's sparkles?

Whoever sees it first is stuck staring at it like Gandalf in Helm' Deep. :weird:

 

or an evil toaster that turn around ur screen? u see all back to front or ur screen spins xD
or an mutation toaster, it trigger u a mutation like mutation disease ( drop rate very low
and evil paul? affect that toaster one person? or all in range?^^ best with psycho background music

 

Only the first person to see the hypnotic sparkle toaster gets frozen, like in Helm's Deep.

Another player has to shove them to get them to 'snap out of it'.

I thought about the freeze being canceled by someone else picking up the toaster, but what if the toaster was out of reach? :nono:

What do you get from picking up the hypnotic sparkle toaster? 1XP - for the experience of learning that "all that glitters is not gold".

 

Chocobo how about a toaster that does to the player what you did to me that day before you blew me up withan airstrike? The topsy turvy colour changing screen lol. It was annoying.
