Why does the movement on some objects, e.g. half-pipes, feel unintuitive?

Published by johnstairs on

Generally, it is an issue between perception and how the input is mapped. The original, Super Mario Galaxy, has actually the same “problem”. You can work around this by making the half-pipe bigger to give player longer time to adopt the controls OR turn camera slightly so that the X axis of the camera is not parallel to the character’s up vector.
