...begins tomorrow at 4 P.M. ET. To make a more even 52 (so 13 sets/26 states in round 2), I threw in DC and Puerto Rico. Five sets a day so we can burn through Round 1 quick.
The cities one earlier took like 3 seconds, so we may as well do this now.

Ladies and gentlemen of the Mario Wiki Forums Mario Boards, we hear many complaints about how Nintendo is either making its games more and more generic or overly simplifying them; the most recent title to bear the brunt of criticism is the brand-new NSMB2. So, as the faithful fans of the series...
I'll be doing these, one per day. The only criteria is that Mario must be a playable character, if only for a short time (one entry is sort of borderline breaking this rule)
#10: Donkey Kong (1981, Arcade)
Other than Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario 64, this is easily the most influential...
Since the V2W for Season 2 is about to end, I'll do something a little different.

"Headcanon" is that which, in order to fill in unsolved issues in a work, is made up by the consumer and seen by them as true. For instance, maybe you think that a coin fairy drops gold coins across the Mushroom Kingdom, or maybe it's loot from defeated enemies.
I'll start with a couple...

There are 44 presidents, but Cleveland had 2 separate terms. Therefore, if one Cleveland wins, the other automatically loses (to make sure that only one can move on). Disagreements and discussion are fine, but to avoid an all-out war, tread lightly at all times.
Matches start at 4:00 ET each...
With Seasons 1 and 2 complete, we can finally do this.

Can the pollsters get rid of the cop-out options? I'd rather see a real poll of who Wiki users would side with between the Mushroom and Koopa Kingdoms, for instance. It shows a lot more. ;D
Wow, do people really want another one? Ah well, the more the merrier.

The items are far more balanced. Instead of a million Bullet Bills and blue shells flying at whoever happens to be winning, powerful items are rarer and can even backfire (Lucky 7). This means that skill is more important.
Customizable karts. Most racing games already had this, and it's odd that...
I'll move to the next two matches when I feel it's ready; generally closer matches will be allowed to last longer. There will be 2 matches at a time; all other rules are the same as the other games. In italics are current matches to be voted on now. Finished matches will be stricken. I put 24...
First time in a couple years, and I'm liking it. Though I can spot problems (too much time wasted just walking back and forth is the big one--why was the thing with the Twilight Town pipe necessary?), it's overall fun. Got a black Yoshi I named Diablo, fooled around in the Glitz Pit, and right...
Why are they bringing it back? Absolutely nobody thought it was a good idea (at least things like the Blue Shell are polarizing), and frankly it seems that Mario Kart is getting more and more punishing for people who happen to be better. There's the element of chance, and then there's this.
Once again, just the new characters that first appear in this game:
Green Yoshi
Blue Yoshi
Yellow Yoshi
Red Yoshi
Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro.
Ball n' Chain
Banzai Bill
Beach Koopa
Big Boo
Big Bubble
Big Steely
Blargg
Blurp
Bony Beetle
Chainsaw
Chargin' Chuck
Climbing Koopa
Dino Rhino
Dino Torch...
We got some down. This will just be characters that first appeared in SMB3, to cut it down a little bit. There are still a ton to work with.
Paragoomba
Grand Goomba
Microgoomba
Pile Driver Microgoomba
Kuribo's Shoe Goomba
Gargantua Koopa
Colossal Paratroopa
Spike
Buster Beetle
Parabeetle...
So, there are now ads on the right side of the page. However, they're positioned on top of the page, meaning that I can't read certain things on the wiki.
Any possible changes? I'd rather not be forced to have words covered by a screaming child dressed as Waluigi.
We finished a couple, so let's lock them and start another one to get to the KO Winners round. :D

Especially in the Paper Mario games. Peach is obvious, but at this point we have pretty much every female partner. He's relatively short, somewhat overweight, has a massive nose and head, and...it's the mustache, isn't it...
Basically, it would go something like this:
Mario kills Bowser in what's expected to be a routine battle (Mario, the goodie-two shoes that he is, tries to save Bowser but fails). After that, the plot would go in two separate ways:
1. The Mushroom Kingdom--Mario hides his guilt at his failure...
I'm a Luigi type. Skipping entire levels is fun (for instance, a well-timed jump can let you skip the entire cave portion of 1-2)
EDIT: If you play more than one character regularly, pick the one you use the most.
Would make streaming of copyrighted material a felony. This is so broad that it would be illegal to show a video of one playing video games (which has helped the video game industry, since people are more likely to buy a game if they know what it's like), singing karaoke, or literally anything...
Search for a random article on Wikipedia, and click on links until you get to Hitler. Nothing too easy, like starting at Germany. The shorter the chain, the better.
I'll start:

We had one hell of a snowstorm. Estimated 20-24 inches. It's been snowing since yesterday afternoon, and it'll continue until tonight.
Anyone else from Pennsylvania, or for that matter one of the other East Coast states? It's supposed to be affecting most of those states.

Basically, you take this test, and it shows you where you stand compared to others.
I'm libertarian (social issues) and left (economic issues), putting me in about the same spot as Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, and the Dalai Lama. Awesome.
This is late, but...
Basically, Obama was giving a speech on health care reform. When the president said that illegal immigrants wouldn't be eligible for the public option, Joe Wilson, a Republican congressman, shouted "YOU LIE!"
