That sense of betrayal you feel when you find nice Mario fanart in your twin sister's Twitter feed and she doesn't share it to you but you always share Baby Luigi fanart when you find it.
Paper Mario is a frequently proposed candidate for a Mario newcomer to represent the MaRPGs but there's been an idea floating in my head that I would actually like way more than Paper Mario: Mario & Luigi piggybacking each other as one character. Their specials are a lot different if you use d-special to switch who's on top; like u-special with Mario on top would be the spin attack similar to DK but with Luigi on top, it's a high jump. But for basic attacks, they're the same. They use hammers and bros moves to attack, and a final smash could be like the Mix Flower from Partners in Time.
Imagine if Nintendo gave us a really great and new Mario Kart, hyped it all up, and then they turned around and said, "Hey, you better like this because you're not getting another one in 6 years".
The two brothers snore loudly near Peach's castle while a sleeping Toad guards the entrance to hell. The Undead Dry Bones in the Underwhere, however, get pissed off and they send their worst to Mushroom Kingdom, which causes the Dream Depot to freak out and generate tons of monsters. Bowser kidnaps the Star Spirit, and Mario and friends fight a ton before they get locked in cages.
I always found 2019 to be an off year for Mario (really, only two major releases being, what, Super Mario Maker 2 and Luigi's Mansion 3?). I wonder if 2020's going to be better for Mario this year.
I didn't even know New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe released that year. It always felt like friggin' a 2018 port.
2/3 of the roster cut, including Captain Falcon, Marth, Ice Climbers, Zero Suit Samus, and King K. Rool. Corrin stays. Animation and texture quality cited as justification. Link gets an echo character, Dark Link.
2/3 of stages cut.
Many items including Fire Flowers cut for no reason.
Recycled animations, facial expressions still limited as ever.
Everything freezes when someone goes up ladders.
Only Classic is the single player mode.
Frame-rate drops and pop-ins amuck.
Final Smashes completely gone, replaced by a souped up Super Mushroom.
Sound options have to be unlocked by KOing the 6th player two times in Brinstar.
Game generates record sales and positive reviews by critics, though fan reviews are pretty much binary.
Out of all item cartoon racers I've played, Red Shells still have the best tracking and the most reliable ones....
Crash Team Racing's Missiles miss way too many times.
Sonic & All Stars Racing's drones are way too slow and tend to miss a bit too many times
Diddy Kong Racing's Homing Missile's tracking is decent, but requires two Red Balloons to get, so not really reliable. It's also the only thing that can actually track in the game.
Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart's Jawz tend to miss if you're pretty close to the racer since they can't turn really well. Not sure about long-distance tracking, but it seems like only the Spiny-Shell equivalent can really stop someone in first, as triple Jawz don't really exist (but there is Jawz x2).
