I'm a huge fan of UrinatingTree. He posts about sports and regularly gives his takes on teams, players, games, and sports history based on the facts. He's a cynical asshole who swears, yells loudly, and often pokes fun at teams and players who perform terribly. But he shows a genuine faith in...

Whoa now, that would lead to way too many sub-series in the franchise for Nintendo to keep track of. We already have Yoshi, Wario, and Donkey Kong. That should be enough for now, unless Nintendo decides to give another major Mario character their own series of games.

I actually like what people call the NSMB formula--great graphics, great level design, great mechanics, great gameplay, great presentation. As such, I don't think the conservatism of NSMB2 was bad by itself, but how and where they chose to emphasize it. I'm especially talking about the boss...

You've got to listen to this music. Very powerful and emotional.

I think it's a step up, but the decision to release it a couple of months after New Super Mario Bros 2 really hurt the series. It made people think NSMB was all Nintendo cared about and contributed to the unfair reputation the series has for being cashgrabs. It should have waited a year or two...

I don't like how the story with the Paper Goomba in Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam got aborted with no conclusion. He blows the cover of Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario and just runs off to wherever with no mention of his fate afterward. It really could have used an expansion, for example after he...

I disagree. I love the New Super Mario Bros games and think they're among the best platformers ever made. We should've gotten more of them. I think most of the series' contentious reputation comes from New Super Mario Bros 2. They didn't give it many original mechanics and the coin-collecting...

So 150 cubic centimeters in the pistons of each kart. Which means the engines can pump more energy from fuel, so the karts can go faster. Man, Nintendo is smart.

Like seriously, HOW do you manage to blow that game like THAT?! The worst part is that even when the Patriots got the momentum back on that strip-sack by Hightower and scored to get within eight points, the Falcons still had every opportunity to close out the game and win. Literally all they...

Oh well, in that case, they should have made it possible for all four characters to play the final battle. It would have given the game its own unique identity and allowed all the characters a chance to be the hero.

Yoshi can't grab or punch enemies. But yeah, it would be really nice to see how he deals with the Bowser battles, and if the game would adjust in any way to give him a chance.

Super Mario 64 DS is an excellent game, but I would have changed two things to make it even better: allow all characters to use the Wing Cap, and allow Mario, Luigi, and Wario to fight the final battle against Bowser. It really sucks that this is Wario's only appearance in the mainline Super...

Bonetail is the monster the Shadow Queen put in the Pit of 100 Trials to punish people who defied her.

I just realized that the Trouble Center in Thousand-Year Door is supposed to be that game's successor to Koopa Koot. Wow, I'm an idiot. Edit: Technically, I did know about it for a while, but I kept forgetting.
