    So how influential was the coin item from Mario Bros. / Super Mario Bros. in gaming?

    Yeah, but it's a similar design philosophy: designing an eye-catching circular object meant to serve as a collectible, also playing a satisfying sound when you collect it. Coins are also frequently used for player direction too, like pointing to a pit or a hidden item.

    Pellets from Pac-Man are practically the same thing as coins tbh.

    Am I the only one who thinks the Mario Galaxy movie wasn't that good?

    Rosalina literally has a compelling story about abandonment and her dead mother written out for her that could have been expanded into and written about in this movie but the directors/writers felt that people wanted Star Fox shooting a Super Scope at a T Rex with the main cast being turned into...

    post any random Mario thought on your mind

    9-Volt really got done dirty in that game, though I think the worst character to use here is Kat & Ana. Their constant jumping is so annoying to work with.

    Am I the only one who thinks the Mario Galaxy movie wasn't that good?

    I love the Baby Luigi appearances in both movies but I still found the second movie's writing to be absolutely terrible, and Baby Luigi's appearance in the second movie was wholly unnecessary. Even the first movie's Baby Luigi scene left me wanting more of an emotional impact than something that...

    What a promotion! You're a captain now! What will you do?

    Well, I'm a defense advisor for Mushroom Kingdom. Don't want to work for Bowser. I know he's gonna try to coerce me to giving him advice because he knows I'm a grand strategist so I won't help too much to him in that regard. Maybe he can chain his ships together so his troops don't get airsick...

    Best Mario soundtrack?

    I always answer Mario Sports Mix, it's always the first answer that pops into my mind whenever I'm asked for my favorite Mario soundtrack. To me, it consistently has the most songs I would listen to percentage-wise out of all Mario soundtracks, and it covers a fairly wide amount of genres. It's...

    Daisy, all you need is the Mega Mushroom.

    They know Mario and Luigi move together in that formation so they designed that defense system exactly like that. It's foolproof! Just don't let them access someone who can teach them how to electrocute and burn each other...

    Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds

    It wasn't really revoked. It just ran out and another company scooped it up.

    What's your honest opinion on purchaseable DLC as a Mario fan?

    Mario Kart World has so many fundamental problems that no amount of DLC will fix that game. They could add all courses from every Mario Kart and it wouldnt matter because it'll be sidewinded by the cluttered 24 racer gameplay (responsible for the overly wide roads), completely ignoring its main...
