Mainly the one Player 2 controls, like in Super Mario Galaxy 2. I guess a case on how Mario is not alone could be made for Super Mario Galaxy 1, although this case is superseded by the fact that Luigi is playable in that game. Thank you for reading.

One of the things I would like to see return from Super Mario 64 is the idea that Mario is solely the playable character again. In later games, Mario is either: (1) aided by a different character like FLUDD or Co-Star Luma, (2) is not the only playable character like in Super Mario Galaxy or...

To start this thread with a bang, it's time to post my commentary on a community that's came to pass. I posted about the Challenges before, so this time, I will post about the actual Rounds that involve the time limit. Scribble Circuit - winstein Edition This is it, the fifth year of Scribbles...

I also thought Mario Golf: Super Rush is a nice change of pace from the other Mario Golf games. It's basically that series game that is outlier, such as Wario Land 3. I think it's quite cool that the players can run around the golf course, even though it is pretty limited in how much they can...

Occasionally I compared Rosalina to Knuckles, where their background is tied to a specific setting but because they are popular enough, they keep appearing in situations that are not tied to the places they are strongly associated with. They even appear in games that are considered pinnacles to...

Neither option would be ideal, but if the names that came from gaming websites were used, IGN's Yvan and Wolley are better for being simple names, as opposed to Destructoid's Bucken-Berry and Ala-Gold due to the complexity of the names, though I suspect the unusual nature of the names are why...

I am going to make a prediction here and say that Baby Bowser is also going to show up... as a Bowser Jr. alt. This stems from how unique characters are playable despite being alternate versions of existing ones, namely Lumalee being there. This is the kind of plot that can justify both Baby...

Yes, that's right. That was my mistake. Thank you for reading.

Nintendo is not obligated to do it, and by all accounts they were pretty much done with the game after it's released, but I would've liked there to be a Mario Kart 7 Deluxe in which the game is made with more time where it is more fully-featured. Of all the Mario Kart games, this one felt the...

Speaking of Baby Waluigi, I find it interesting that acceptance for the character is pretty good, in that there aren't as many people who express disdain for him. Even considering him one of the highlights in the first reveal. Waluigi's certainly gone a long way where he's a major presence in...

Normally I would post one The ? Panel comic a post, but I am kind of behind with these so I might occasionally post two of them together to speed things up a bit. Space Wail It's another return to Super Mario Galaxy, and that means Rosalina returns! The comic is inspired by how I imagine...

I guess, but just because a game was developed for a previous console in mind but ended up in its successor, does not mean that they get a new game later in that console's life. As an example, Super Paper Mario was made for the Gamecube but was repurposed for the Wii, but that didn't translate...

This topic is timely in that I was wondering if Starlow is still considered the pariah of the Mario & Luigi community after three games with her (based on what others who play would vouch for, Starlow is handled best in Bowser's Inside Story. That's why I excluded this game, meaning the three...

I would prefer if Kamek is the main villain in the Yoshi games. Unfortunately for Kamek, he's often upstaged by Baby Bowser and in Artoon/Arzest's games, by Bowser himself. The only game that goes far with this is Yoshi's Crafted World, where . Thank you for reading.
