    Rant about a Mario game

    Well, it's worse than the original in so many ways 1. The biggest thing is that the game expects you to rub the stylus on the touch screen just for a boost start for two vehicles on a game that uses face buttons for controls. Every. Single. Fucking. Race. 2. The Balloon Touch Challenges are a...

    Rant about a Mario game

    I've ranted about Toad NPCs in these Paper Mario games, might as well do it again.

    Rant about a Mario game

    Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is a complete dogshit platformer. I've ranted about that game in great lengths with several posts on this forum but here's what I can recap: This game is easily Nintendo's worst 2D platformer on the SNES. "Oh but going for 100% is optional! You don't have...

    Happy 25th anniversary to Mario Kart: Super Circuit!

    Personally? I'd put this game over Mario Kart DS, sole reason being Mario Kart DS's snaking controls are fucking awful.

    Happy 30th anniversary to Super Mario 64!

    I've only played the DS remake version because it had Luigi playable so I should probably try out the mods it has and make some characters myself.

    Happy 25th anniversary to Mario Kart: Super Circuit!

    It's a game that I personally think is underrated and doesn't really quite play like the rest of the Mario Kart titles, but I also found it difficult to recommend to newer players just because of its age and still relying on Mode 7 graphics to achieve what it's trying to do. That said, I enjoy...

    Happy 24th anniversary to Super Mario Sunshine!

    This isn't just Mario games. It's industry-wide. Improvements in hardware and QoL features based off years of player feedback and developing games have streamlined things players want, ultimately lending to an easier experience. Things people found frustrating or time wasting such as a lives...

    Proposals

    They could go on there, but that doesn't mean they're better off there. Bigger changes are more visible if seen through MarioWiki: Proposal space rather than requiring to follow a small link to read them. Editors shouldn't have to go through a bunch of links to read proposals, plus archiving and...

    Glitch Productions

    So I've binged on the entire Amazing Digital Circus. What are my final thoughts of it as a series? Speaking from the POV of purely an audience member, the show has a decent premise, great animation, and compelling characters, but it's all ultimately kneecapped by having only 9 episodes, and the...

    Proposals

    Regular proposals are designed to be wide-ranging and affect the whole site, talk page proposals are localized to their article (and possibly related articles). Stuff like rewrite policies, changing up various templates, general article formatting goes on MarioWiki:Proposals, stuff to split...

    The Super Mario RPG (the user) reversion project

    Well what a terrible thing to read. I've poured so much effort into Bomber Bill, only just now hearing how SG completely butchered it by removing essential details (just by looking at his revision) so I guess I have to clean up that mess.

    Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream

    Wittgenstein is based off a character from the Brave Little Toaster, who is probably named after Ludwig Wittgenstein???
