    Is the way we're currently covering marketing material overkill?

    I don't think we should be getting into debate of the real difference between Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy Flash game but if we were to define them, it's a good start to define something like Super Mario Galaxy as a video game installment, a product, and the flash game as an...

    archive.today is a security risk

    https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/wikipedia-bans-archive-today-after-site-executed-ddos-and-altered-web-captures/ If this is to be believed, it appears that the archive site tampered with snapshots to include the blogger's name and whatnot. This makes me more firmly believe we cannot...

    archive.today is a security risk

    I've read a good chunk of the debate page on this subject. I feel the best course of action is approach content relying with archive.today cautiously but I don't think it's helpful to go backward to remove every link especially if there isn't a replacement available; archive.today is popular for...

    post any random Mario thought on your mind

    Oh. I'm a fan of the GCN era animations for sure, I've grown up with them. I'm fond of both of Wario's losing animations. But I think the animations improved considerably since the GCN games. I'm really a fan of Mario's winning animation in Mario Party Superstars and Super Mario Party Jamboree...

    Your favorite Super Mario Merchandise line?

    I have a weakness for plushies so the San-Ei/Global Holdings/Little Buddy line is by far my favorite line of Mario merchandise. Jakks Pacific is also another line I'm partial to, since it has a decent variety of Mario characters available. Both lines kind of are stagnating with new...

    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    I think she was already playing that role because back in 2008-2013 I remember I really was wondering if she'll eventually show up in a game besides fan service in Mario Party Island Tour and wasn't playable in Mario Tennis Open despite fan requests. If you look at her initial appearance in...

    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    From the video at least the voice acting, if done well, will be able to carry what I otherwise think is a pretty weak script (Brothership otherwise doesn't make me laugh in the slightest except when it concerns game breaking bugs). Nintendo has money to burn, they can devote more resources to...

    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    Mario games especially RPGs really need voice acting at this point IMHO.

    Favorite and least favorite Mario characters

    I don't think I would've gotten a necro reply if I expressed strong dislike for Daisy.

    Mario Tennis Fever (Nintendo Switch 2)

    For god's sake this is a story about cartoon plumbers and a princess being transformed into babies and having to learn to play tennis to save the world.
