    Final Mariothon update!

    The last time I posted about this was way back in November, and I am glad to say that as of today I have now fully completed this marathon!
    The games I completed since my last update are:
    • Super Mario 3D Land
    • New Super Mario Bros. 2
    • New Super Mario Bros. U
    • New Super Luigi U
    • Super Mario 3D World
    • Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
    • Super Mario Run
    • Super Mario Odyssey
    • Super Mario Maker 2
    • Bowser's Fury
    • Super Mario Bros. Wonder
    and last but certainly not least
    • Donkey Kong Bananza!
    Overall this has been a super super fun journey for me, I may redo this again in the future! (Maybe 100% next time? Hmm.. might take too long but we'll see)

    January is wing cap Mario from Super Mario 64.
    February is Pagero from Teleroboxer for the Virtual Boy.
    March is Koopa Troopa in Super Mario Kart.
    April is the Hot Violet Machine from F-Zero: Maximum Velocity.
    May is Yoshi, but specifically from the puzzle game Yoshi (1991), I'm not sure though as I don't think it's an exact match of this sprite. It's definitely an earlier appearance due to his more beak-like nose.
    June is Mr Sandman and Bald Bull from Punch Out.
    July is Mario again, in his Super Mario Strikers soccer clothes.
    August is Samus in her Fusion Suit from Metroid Fusion.
    September is Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, and Pauline.
    October is Link from Ocarina of Time.
    November is Chibi Robo.
    December is Nana from ice climbers.

    Niice! I'd play 3D Land if I owned a 3ds but I don't, so Nintendo please bring the game to Switch!

    Are you 100% each game or just beating them?

    Just beating them (with some extra goals in some games for fun)

    I do plan on doing a 100% marathon in the future, though I definitely don't have enough free time for it now.

    I very randomly have the Bloo Bay Beach theme from Paper Mario: Color Splash stuck in my head... I haven't played CS in years so no idea where that came from

    There's something about the Yoshi's Island castle BGM that is weirdly hypnotic to me

    I should play the original Yoshi's Island. I like the vibe of the game. I only played a very tiny bit of it once.

    I shared this on discord already but....

    Depends on which one. If it's rare, it might've been worth it!

    Cappy is a character they could definitely bring back in some way, shape, or form.

    I have never played Mario Odyssey before in my life, but I absolutely love Cappy, because what's not to love about a ghost shaped like a top hat who can morph into all kinds of other hats? Not to mention, Shohei Komatsu gives such a wonderfully energized performance as Cappy that I named an imaginary friend after Shohei Komatsu.

    I see that plush and I must have him because I love him.

    I decided to finally start a 30 game long Mario marathon I'd been waiting to do for awhile. So far I've beaten Donkey Kong, SMB1, SMB2J and SMB2USA. I'm not allowed to use warps or cannons or any kind of skips!

    Finally got my hands on this Paratroopa plush!

    I see a lot of people think that the bandage on Kooper's face in this artwork is part of his design (like Koops' nose bandage). It's not though, he only has the bandage in this one artwork and it's supposed to be him after a battle (in-fact IIRC there's an accompanying artwork of Mario with a bandage on his nose too).

    Sorry, random rant lol but it's always annoyed me when people include the bandage as part of his design.

    Nono, I don't mean to sound like argumentative or anything, so I'm sorry if I came off that way, I'm just not very good at wording things but dw I'm not upset

    I'm happy for fan artists and modders and such to create things in whatever vision they see best fit. I just meant when strictly talking about official media is all.

    Oh, sorry. I thought you were upset at what I was saying.

    Don't worry, I think I understand your frustration to an extent. It can be annoying when fan work (which I would count HD upscale mods as) tries to approach a project from a perspective of "we are reconstructing what the original developers intended" and then don't do the research to be as authentic as possible. Like, I never looked into it myself as I was also under the misconception that that one prominent Kooper artwork on the box was supposed to be his default look, but it's worth noting that they didn't include the bandage on his cut TTYD appearance either.

    From one appreciator of Koopa Troopas to another, it is good that you are raising awareness that this is a misconception. It's so wide-spread that I wasn't aware of it either, and the first two Paper Mario games are my favorite pieces of Mario media. I apologize for misreading the intent of your message.

    The fact that Koops from TTYD always has a bandage on his nose could contribute to the confusion, since they share the same species, a similar gameplay purpose, and have names that only differ by two letters.
