Kill anyone off? I wouldn't.
The Mario cast has this really great chemistry going, and I like them all fine.
Do you really think Bowser Jr. caused the original seven Koopa Kids to dissapear? Let's look at some dates.
Super Mario Sunshine - Introduction of Bowser Jr. Year: 2002
Mario...
I enjoyed the original live-action movie in a"So bad it's good" sort of way.
I enjoyed the original anime movie as well, though it never received a proper translation.
I think, especially seeing the fancy CGI intros to the Mario sports games, a Mario movie done entirely in 3D animation...
I actually like seeing Mario and Luigi work together, in such games as the Mario and Luigi series and Super Paper Mario. It's cool to see cooperation between the two, and their interactions together are much more interesting than either alone.
Wario!
I love the Mario series too though, and am also quite fond of Zelda, Kirby, and Mother/EarthBound. I'm kinda interested in Pokemon, but I stopped buying the games after the original Red and Blue versions.
Behold!
What does this mean for Luigi? Super Mario 64 DS aside, as that was a remake, this is Luigi's first time to be involved in the story of a 3D platformer. I wonder what the man in green is going to do in this game.
Hey, I unlocked some character cards, and they have cheat descriptions on them. But I see no way to access them. HELP, please. How do I turn on the cheats I unlock?
So? Bowser's goal is to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. To do this, he needs the kingdom's ruler, Peach.
It may be cliched, but it makes sense.
I'm someone who grew up with Mario, and for me, "more of the same" is good sometimes. Yeah, I like it when the story writers come up with...
Your whole point was that "Bowser is the main villain too often", but I just proved that he ISN'T the main villain almost as often as he is. I see nothing wrong with Bowser being the villain of Super Mario Galaxy.
90%? Let's test those numbers.
