I agree with the take that Mario RPGs having many characters that don't appear elsewhere gives them a strong identity, but I also think that using one or two characters from each, basically "this was a very popular character who can represent this game" wouldn't take away from that. If Fawful...

I remember reading a random Twitter post that claimed Neosquid was relocalized to "Exorifice" and feeling a bit satisfied since it was still something weird and bizarre, just also an accurate description of it. But in reality they just called it "mouth" and that Twitter post had successfully...

I am definitely a diehard fan of SPM's original characters, but I don't see it like that. To me Bleck, Dimentio, etc are just as much Mario characters as the returning ones, the fact that they made their debut in that game and were not used again afterward doesn't change that status. The same...

I wouldn't mind having more pre-established characters show up but definitely not at the expense of characters original to that series. M&L has consistently given some of the best Mario characters, especially the ones from the Beanbean Kingdom. I don't want that lost. I would actually prefer the...

VGC also claims to have gotten it. I did notice the SPM release date mistake, but Nintendo isn't immune to making mistakes. I thought there was a chance of it being fake at first, but now that an actual journalist is corroborating it I think the release date thing is just a mistake or typo.

God I hope so. I personally do think the RPGs and their flavor of characters is uniquely special. They appeal to me very strongly, so I want to see them thrive and Nintendo to use what they introduce in other games. Nintendo apparently is starting to put out surveys about the RPGs that have...

Vivian & Prince Peasley (especially because I ship them with Mario & Luigi respectively) I also want Fawful to become a racer in Mario Kart, but idk about in a mainline game unless it's specifically aiming to tell a parallel/alternate story to that of M&L. Otherwise it would undermine his death...

Daisy has grown on me a lot since this post. So here's an update. Love: Peach Cackletta Vivian Tippi Mimi Pauline Nastasia Daisy Rosalina Goombella Kammy Koopa Lady Bow Shadow Queen Toadette Kaley Like: Baby Peach Princess Shroob Ms. Mowz Bombette Queen Jaydes Luvbi Olivia Indifferent...

I should add that in the event characters from Paper Mario ever do get added, I'd vastly prefer them being approached the same way Goomboss and the Star Spirits were in their 3D appearances, adapted into the same 3D style as the rest of the cast, rather than remaining flat despite no longer...

I honestly think a character Little Timmy doesn't recognize being in Mario Kart would be harmless at worst, and expose Timmy to more Mario games if they get curious about who that character is at best. It won't cause the game not to be bought, as all the recognizable characters are still there...

I don't think being main cast should be a line drawn. What defines main cast is a blurry line anyway. If you're going to include characters that didn't debut in the main series, you really can't define an objective line. And Toadsworth DID debut in the main series so I think he counts as main...

I like bagels

I still believe Mario rosters are not at the level they should be in this era. Super Sluggers is to me still the furthest they've gone in the direction I want, which is expansive coverage of the extended Marioverse. They've done a good job representing a lot of common mainline bosses, some who...

The movie universe portraying current DK as the son of Cranky Kong as opposed to the grandson is enough to suggest to me it wasn't trying to be consistent with the games' lore. From all evidence provided, Donkey Kong Jr. doesn't even exist in the movie universe.

He still gets stunned, but you have to fall from a height that would've killed you in the original game. The original height to stun you is now harmless. There wasn't enough height to test if there is still a possibility to die, but the animation of Mario landing on his head IS in the files.
