post any random Mario thought on your mind

I fucking love the Roshambo Temples in Color Splash. The fact that there are 8 of them can only be comparable to divine intervention. Truly reflects the strife of innovation that has been oft-invoked in interviews that address the series' new direction. Thank god for the omotenashi culture that enabled the developers to listen to whoever fucking genius approved RNG mechanics as the sole battle system in those minigames.

Also, waiting. I simply can't overstate how much I love to wait for something to occur in a video game, to feel the battery of my device slowly drain as I watch with anticipation how the ship steers slowly to the right when I have to restart a section in Violet Passage. There were other such junctures in the game, the existence of which I cannot precisely recall at this point in time, but I can confidently state that the problem with Sticker Star was that it didn't have nearly enough of the above.

This video just came out, and it the end, it shows that they actually considered 3D graphics (albeit "2.5D" play) for SMBe (and the 3D checkered floor was the remnant of this idea)! Never knew this at all! (Reminds me of those 3D parts of Super Paper Mario).
Even before SMB3 came out, I was suggesting to Nintendo that SMB3 should be a 3D return to the original SMB (in contrast to the vastly different SMB2), since 3D or 2.5D "bas relief" graphics were the latest fad in classic arcade game revivals such as Pacmania and Blasteroids.

I remember feeling cheated when loading up Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the first time. I was expecting to hear "Super Mario Galaxy 2", but he didn't even say the 2.

It's especially weird because he says "Super Mario Galaxy" in a different way than in the first game, and I believe he has a few new voice clips in the game itself, so it's not like they didn't have an opportunity to record the "2" part.
 
They are
 
Alright, everyone, what are some cool lesser known characters in the franchise that you don't see talked about a lot?
I like Jimmy P just for the implications of someone's who's just barely a different person from someone who already exists, it's hilarious
 
I love the Koopa Kids from Mario Party! Such entertaining little rascals.
 
Salvo the Slime and Lemon Drops. Traditional fantasy enemy, no?
Then we have Sluggy the Unshaven, and Sluggy.
Yoshi's Island has so many underrated enemies

They are, indeed. While their designs might look off to many for not resembling Bowser Jr. or any other sort of Koopalings, their minion energy is the best part about them. At least they got to be playable before they were retired for good, which is not something several retired Mario characters would get. I get the impression that even when Mario Party was still developed by Hudson, they were already on their way out (you can look no further than Mario Party DS, which is the first game to introduced Bowser Jr and continue to leave out the Koopa Kids from the previous game).

Thank you for reading.
