post any random Mario thought on your mind

When I was little, I caught bits and pieces of the movie on cable. Learning *much* later than what I saw was "based on" Mario was... surprising.
 
I was surprised there even was Mario cartoon, and in my vague memory I did recall a moment where Toad used his mushroom hat as a parachute. Also I don't remember them speaking in English at the time, maybe French? It's such a distant memory. I'm such a small kid but for some reason, I just felt nervous watching it and tried to pretend I wasn't interested, but I think it's just me on a larger scale being way too shy to share passionate interests, maybe out of fear people just won't appreciate them?

As for the film, I don't think I even realized such a thing existed probably well into mid 2000s (there's like a passing mention of the film in a Guinness World Record book... I think??) but all it took was one screenshot of a human dude with monsters with tiny heads and giant jackets to lose interest.

On that note I think it's important to embrace what you like and are interested in regardless of what other people may think, and if you don't you're a coward.

Unless it's harmful shit of course, but that goes without saying.
 
Of course, I do that these days. It's just back then, I had some instinctive fear of sharing my interests and being embarrassed when I do. I don't know if anyone else experienced that, or if it's just me. Eh being deemed a "coward" doesn't make me feel better.
 
My friend is teaching me poker, and while listening to the rules I remembered I played poker with Luigi!

I missed the convo, but I prefer to think the Koopa Troop is composed of A: Evil little shits that just wanna see the world burn, B: People unwillingly drafted and/or just doing as Bowser says so they don't face his ire, and the odd few nice guys who are just in it for the free housing/being legally allowed to hurt people. Their opinion on Mario also varies; some acknowledge him as the true hero and don't mind losing to him (and some of them are friendly with the bros in spite of their different alliances), and there's often infighting amongst those members and those who want Mario's head on a pike.

Anyways, on a mostly unrelated note, seeing that SM64 First person mod really made me wonder what it'd be like if the next 3D Mario game allowed you to switch to first-person mode. It probably wouldn't happen, but damn, seeing Mario do all those jumps in first person really makes me wonder how he doesn't puke his guts out, like damn.

Well, on a somewhat related note, Mario Kart 7 had a first-person mode and I enjoyed it, so it baffled the hell out of me to see it taken out in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. First-person mode is like a freaking staple in racing games in general yet Mario Kart struggles to have that (and a speedometer -which was in 64, Super Circuit, and Double Dash but unceremoniously taken out as well).
 
Why doesnt Peach just hire Mario to be her bodyguard 24/7?
 
Because the Koopalings can apparently fool them by dressing up as a cake and Mario doesn't do anything about it for 50000 yeasr
 
He also just watches as Peach is taken away in an airship in those cutscenes of New Super Mario Bros Wii and has the nerve to say come back after the fact.
