I agree with the take that Mario RPGs having many characters that don't appear elsewhere gives them a strong identity, but I also think that using one or two characters from each, basically "this was a very popular character who can represent this game" wouldn't take away from that. If Fawful...
I remember reading a random Twitter post that claimed Neosquid was relocalized to "Exorifice" and feeling a bit satisfied since it was still something weird and bizarre, just also an accurate description of it. But in reality they just called it "mouth" and that Twitter post had successfully...
I am definitely a diehard fan of SPM's original characters, but I don't see it like that. To me Bleck, Dimentio, etc are just as much Mario characters as the returning ones, the fact that they made their debut in that game and were not used again afterward doesn't change that status. The same...
I wouldn't mind having more pre-established characters show up but definitely not at the expense of characters original to that series. M&L has consistently given some of the best Mario characters, especially the ones from the Beanbean Kingdom. I don't want that lost. I would actually prefer the...
VGC also claims to have gotten it.
I did notice the SPM release date mistake, but Nintendo isn't immune to making mistakes. I thought there was a chance of it being fake at first, but now that an actual journalist is corroborating it I think the release date thing is just a mistake or typo.
God I hope so. I personally do think the RPGs and their flavor of characters is uniquely special. They appeal to me very strongly, so I want to see them thrive and Nintendo to use what they introduce in other games.
Nintendo apparently is starting to put out surveys about the RPGs that have...
Vivian & Prince Peasley (especially because I ship them with Mario & Luigi respectively)
I also want Fawful to become a racer in Mario Kart, but idk about in a mainline game unless it's specifically aiming to tell a parallel/alternate story to that of M&L. Otherwise it would undermine his death...

I should add that in the event characters from Paper Mario ever do get added, I'd vastly prefer them being approached the same way Goomboss and the Star Spirits were in their 3D appearances, adapted into the same 3D style as the rest of the cast, rather than remaining flat despite no longer...
I honestly think a character Little Timmy doesn't recognize being in Mario Kart would be harmless at worst, and expose Timmy to more Mario games if they get curious about who that character is at best. It won't cause the game not to be bought, as all the recognizable characters are still there...
I don't think being main cast should be a line drawn. What defines main cast is a blurry line anyway. If you're going to include characters that didn't debut in the main series, you really can't define an objective line. And Toadsworth DID debut in the main series so I think he counts as main...
I still believe Mario rosters are not at the level they should be in this era.
Super Sluggers is to me still the furthest they've gone in the direction I want, which is expansive coverage of the extended Marioverse. They've done a good job representing a lot of common mainline bosses, some who...
The movie universe portraying current DK as the son of Cranky Kong as opposed to the grandson is enough to suggest to me it wasn't trying to be consistent with the games' lore. From all evidence provided, Donkey Kong Jr. doesn't even exist in the movie universe.
He still gets stunned, but you have to fall from a height that would've killed you in the original game. The original height to stun you is now harmless. There wasn't enough height to test if there is still a possibility to die, but the animation of Mario landing on his head IS in the files.
This was my first edit. It was removed almost immediately because the trivia section wasn't exactly the best place for it, but I am pretty sure I was the first to mention the existence of that stylus on the wiki at all, I just didn't know where to put it. Also at the time I was "Fawfulfan64"
I...
I want it to start exploring things from the RPGs. Not necessarily the main plot, but I just want things that establish that a version of those games could exist in this world. Sow the seeds so that maybe down the line they can build up to adaptations of some of them.
It sounds as though the label "Super Mario World 2" made you judge it as a core mainline Mario game, rather than a spinoff that isn't trying to be like the mainline games. Considering all the sequels dropped the "Super Mario World" label and were treated like spinoffs, I think it should be...
Morton, and it's entirely thanks to Bowser Jr.'s Journey. He is so adorably loyal and nice to Bowser Jr even when the latter treats him like crap. And this leads into more development for Bowser Jr, his reunion with Morton after freeing him from mind control is heartwarming. And since Color...
None. Despite living in New York (state) I've never been to the city. Also never been outside the USA, except one trip across the Canadian border as a kid.
Yeah in terms of the soundtrack I liked most of the remixes, they sounded about how i'd expect those songs to sound in a 3DS M&L. The only one I personally think was a notable downgrade was In the Final, but it's fucking In The Final, imo 99% of the liberties you can take with it will downgrade...
I definitely understand the criticisms but I still love the remake. I was downright crushed by how badly it sold, doubly so when the news broke of AlphaDream's bankruptcy.
Believe it or not I didn't really notice the FPS being lower until it was pointed out online. I did notice the timing of...
The main localization adjustment I'm rooting for is properly adapting Vivian being trans (while throwing out the transphobic dialogue from friendly characters in all versions including the JP version)
Just finished the main story. This was the first time I finished SMRPG in general, having only gotten as far as the first Belome fight in the original. Such a good game full of wonderful characters, and plenty of new prerendered cutscenes and remastered music that really amps up the emotional...
Gonna go full copium on this but idc
1. Mario/SpongeBob crossover game
2. Mario & Luigi revival (fully embracing its original cast like the first four please and thank you)
3. Paper Mario 64 remake + side story centering on Kolorado
4. Super Paper Mario remake + side story centering on Kammy...
It's very weird that almost every licensed GBA game I played had sound mixing options where you can decrease the volume of either to any degree you want, including muting them, but Mario games don't have that.
Fucking SpongeBob SquarePants: Supersponge should not be one-upping Nintendo's Mario...
I'd put Wario in the role, but I want the era back where Toadsworth was a contender for it. It was still stiff competition but in the 2000s I'd say he was about as important as Toadette, and Peach's parallel to what Kamek is for Bowser.
Are you bringing the footage onto your PC from your phone? What's the file format?
I'd probably suggest using a converter to make it a different format.
I love it. They aren't just the reused sprites, they pulled out the uncompressed versions for this, and I'm so happy everything wasn't redesigned to look like the (mostly inferior) modern designs. Even Peach has her old dress despite her having an updated one in SPM, so that suggests a...
Yeah but this definitely completely changed the playing field and raised the odds of that happening.
Before this was announced, I thought the chances of a true return to form PM game was the lowest it's ever been. But now I think the chances are higher than they've been since Sticker Star.
Really looking forward to seeing what quality of life stuff is added.
I hope the Game Over retry mechanic from TOK returns, that way the amazing climactic and emotional cutscene before the final boss isn't soured for many people by forcing them to mash through it every time they die. Seriously...
Finally, the superior gameplay style of Mario vs Donkey Kong returns. This game was my childhood, can't wait to experience it again.
Hopefully this time the level editor isn't cut content
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I was excited for Mario vs. DK & Pauline in MK8D too but now this is all I can think about
PEAK HAS RETURNED
AND JUST IN TIME FOR ITS 20TH ANNIVERSARY
The end of an era. I knew this day would come eventually but I was truly not prepared for it to be now. I was firmly on the "that has to be Charles in Wonder, he just hasn't recorded new lines in a while" camp because it just seemed impossible that it's already the time for him to retire and a...
It depends on the show. Unless they're specifically for young kids (educational on that level), I'd argue most animated shows are for general audiences, not just kids. That's just a stereotype for the medium and why people seem to think the only animated shows meant for adults to enjoy are the...
I edited the original score back into the movie's ending (the version with Hello Happy Kingdom) because the natural order would be at unrest otherwise.
