post any random Mario thought on your mind

There's something about Super Mario Odyssey that bugs me, and that's how they're going to deal with both Pauline and Peach in one game. If they were both made to be Mario's love interests, doesn't it seem a bit weird that they both appear in one game? Are they just going to pretend that those relationships don't exist, or one does and the other doesn't? Or both? Jump up, Super Star doesn't really do breaking the relationship any favours (i.e. "You know that you're my Super Star, No one else can take me this far", "I'll be your 1-Up Girl"), but it does seem to promote both existing at once, or it as an on-off thing ("Every journey starts a new romance"), and the fact that Mario is still rescuing Peach, particularly from marriage to Bowser, doesn't seem to show nothing's happening there. What on Earth in the Mushroom Kingdom in New Donk City in the Marioverse is going on? They don't seem to be pretending it's nothing, but I don't think they can fully isolate the two in the game. So how are they going to do it? It just seems too weird to me.
 
Hey, Mario can be a chick magnet in other games anyway, so it's totally fine.
 
Maybe Mario and Pauline broke off their relationship but are still on friendly terms. Not every break up ends messily and with both parties hating each other.

Or maybe Mario is rescuing Peach because she's in danger and has no romantic motivation to do so.
 
I think they might be retconning Pauline's previous relationship and just making her a platonic friend of Mario's, like Rosalina.
 
people always talk about how often bowser kidnaps peach, but nobody ever talks about the kidnappings that don't happen

how reliable are toads at stopping a koopa attack?
 
We don't see it ever get prevented so I still say Toads are as reliable as wet paper bags at stopping a Bowser attack.

Considering that their strategy for protecting Peach when she is being attacked right in front of them is "cowering and running away", I'm going to say that they're not particularly reliable.

I know all too well what that is like.

Toads make decent caretakers and stuff like that but in terms of actual guards? Worthless.
 
I think you guys are t giving Toads enough credit, they do a great job spat stopping Bowser from hurting Peach.

Just look at Smash, where she uses them as meat shields. Peach knows what to do with them.
 
New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Toads' reactions):
Watch as suspicious cake arrives.
Stand and watch as Koopalings and Bowser Jr. jump out of the cake, kidnap Peach and fly away in an airship, and then watch Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad and Blue Toad chase after them.
Finally react, by bringing along a cannon and launching Princess Peach's birthday presents randomly into the air.

Wow Toads, that is so helpful and will totally stop Bowser carrying out his plan.
