"Seems weird" is going to be a recurring theme here in the decisions surrounding this game, I'm afraid.

I suppose this counts.

Okay here's him under a serious sepia filter.

With me actually, thru remote play. I've modded Xiahou Dun (over Cloud) into Smash Bros. Ultimate, help from my sister, and aside from a few rough parts to work out eventually, I'm really happy with the results. My new main.

You don't see politicians sporting in a serious competition in real life. They usually send athletes over to represent them. Princess Peach, Princess Daisy (whose status as an actual ruler remains ambiguous), King Bowser, Prince Bowser Jr., Mayor Pauline, and occasionally King Bob-omb are more...

I'm facing a reckoning that Mario's position as my #1 favorite character is being seriously challenged.

The Sand Kingdom is the best kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey, where most of the soundtrack is localized in smaller areas and the ambient background noise makes up most of the kingdom. I can spend plenty of time here due to the more subdued use of music vs the constantly looping 45-second track of...

My guess regarding Pink Gold Peach's whereabouts is hinging on the possibility that she transformed into an entire race course

I don't think they really are in need of reason. They can include Fawful in Mario Kart if they really wanted to. This is the series that had a sponsorship to include the Mercedes Benz GLA. From a big picture standpoint, I just think they want to surprise people with the unorthodox roster.

It's fine to express disappointment but you shouldn't levy the rhetoric they used toward your characters you like toward other characters other people may like. I'm personally fond of the offbeat inclusions of Dolphin, Penguin, Piranha Plant, Conkdor and Cow Cow, and nowadays, I'm not really the...

There's a decent amount of sports and party games this generation but, while solid, all of them were lacking, usually content (Super Mario Party), game options (Super Mario Party Jamboree, Mario Party Superstars, Mario Tennis Aces) or both (Battle League, Mario Golf Super Rush). Though Mario +...

The recipes need to have some actual use lol why was it designed like this. Just redo that system entirely and get something that's actually worth the payoff rather than the current system where you hunt for obscure boiled egg in the corner of a place and exchange your 50 coins in a shop located...

Seems like anecdote and overreliance on the word of people who spend time online, which are not the majority of the players who play Mario Kart. Jury is still out if the Koopalings are back, but Baby Rosalina still returned in spite of her online reputation being negative (that character also...

If they were so hated then why did people choose Morton and not other characters of his weight class before the "balance" updates? This is a pretty strong claim and I'd like to see any semblance of evidence backing that up.

Didn't say it was necessarily new or innovative. I emphasize the scale in the video game industry instead: Mario's sales figures and amount of games are undeniably unprecedented for a video game franchise, dwarfing every other video game series, and it owes to Mario Kart probably planting those...

Bringing up inflation requires extra context to justify the price of this. For instance the counter argument floating around would be that while inflation has gone up worldwide, purchasing power has not. Wages have not kept up with it. So we're getting this discussion of the price of this game...

Mario Party should be worth consideration (even if you don't agree); in spite of its quality and having a series of sameish games built off recycled assets, it DID popularize a genre of video game board games interlaced with minigames, if not set it. Basically, it's one out of the few series in...

They tried to do this with Brothership but from the impressions of players, the game's foundations simply cannot sustain anything longer than 25ish hours of gameplay. If you want a deeper game with a deeper story that lasts as long as Brothership you'll likely have to introduce more complexity...

I'm not going to lie, but when I read Super Mario-kun's take on Bobbery's backstory, I burst out laughing over the utter irreverence. Guess that makes me part Bob-omb.

I'm down for Daisy Dating Sim. The phrase itself even has a nice ring to it, like a tongue twister. That honestly was Princess Peach Showtime, only without Daisy and a pixel art style.

Daisy just isn't enough of a standout character to get a game but she certainly can play as a close friend of Peach, where her energetic can-do personality contrasts with Peach's cautious and considerate (but not timid like Luigi) "let's not try to harm others" approach to things. Peach can get...

I think instead of adding new characters, if they really care about just recognizable characters and stick to them while making a couple clone characters after running out of resources, they should at least try to make each existing character stand out a lot better, like what Battle League...

Indeed you're not the only one who's voiced that issue with the presentation of these platformers. The closest thing we got to a truly 2.5D Mario in a Mario platformer would be the Super Mario 3D World parts of Super Mario Maker 2. I'll provide examples just to illustrate Nintendo has...

I consider "LeftyGreenMario" now a former name. Please call me "LeftyGemsMagpie" now, but you can still call me "Lefty" or "LGM" for short but starting today, please slowly try to wean off the original words behind "LGM".

But it had the Fun Fitness Friends, the characters made solely for that Junior game that approximately (by generous estimates) 6 people have played.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder had a great badge to make swimming levels fun, and it make underwater enemies stompable. These two additions made underwater levels much more fun than I anticipated and they ended up being my favorite 2D Mario underwater levels. So, I was disappointed Wonder then...

The game looks to be difficult again vs like Mario Kart, so that's nice. I also think the Cross Roads gimmick has some potential here to try to make each race feel a bit more different to each other, and I particularly like how there's an option to pick random. I'm hoping it doesn't 100% take...

One thing I noticed growing up: Why are kids in school textbooks always photographed smiling while doing class activities??? It doesn't make me want to smile or do classwork more.

As a person who enjoyed these games alongside my sister, for its sense of speed and engaging (although sometimes frustrating) difficulty, I'm going to look forward to how this turns out. Still like the whole crossover fever dream appeal of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (for someone who...

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is probably my most played Mario game, largely due to the game having plenty of content, a fun enough Battle Mode (especially with the item switch, my favorite DLC of the game). Modding has only extended the life of this game.

Sprixie Princess is an addition I can't argue against inherently, but it is a recurring situation that most characters that debut in mainline platformers don't really make it past the first game they're in; even if they do, it can be a couple years for them to reappear. Rosalina for instance...
