    What else will we get from Nintendo Switch 2?

    The rest of your post is a philosophical difference that I don't think that it's worth getting into an argument over (if generating AI is art or if copying an artstyle in an artificial manner quickly and accurately can be considered stealing), as that's a different POV that I would respectively...

    Halloween Discussion: Who is your favorite ghost featured in the Mario franchise?

    this thing tends to get left out as opposed to the purple punchers, gold ghosts, and blue twirlers who make many later appearances so i feel bad for it ive wanted greenies playable in mario kart or at least another mario spinoff for a very long time, i thought they would make very fun additions.

    What else will we get from Nintendo Switch 2?

    I'm an avid sports games fan and I'm also disillusioned by the state of the recent Mario sports games, but when I say I want a new Mario Baseball, I'm just running on the assumption that it would be given the treatment it deserves. Same with the new Mario Skateboarding game, which I think would...

    What else will we get from Nintendo Switch 2?

    There's nothing wrong with using AI to generate a conceptual image to illustrate a quick forum post, it's not any worse than just compiling stock art and a logo together. I'd recommend sourcing the image to say it was AI generated but...idk man, it's not any different than saying "this post was...

    I think YouTube in general feels like it's far more clickbaity than it was in the past, with much more obnoxious thumbnails and titles.

    Mario to appear in The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

    Pikachu did get a balloon too, in 2001. idk why Mario gets left out of things like this, Mario has also yet to get an official Funko Pop figure too when literally like everything has one.

    Mysterious Mario Bros.

    All of these guys should be inspirations for the next live action Super Mario Bros. movie.

    Mario to appear in The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

    Sonic's had a balloon since 1993, I always wondered what the fuck took Mario so long.

    What is your favorite flavor of iced cream?

    Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Rocky Road are my absolute favorites, but Baskin Robbins does have Wild and Reckless and Bubblegum, love them both.

    Misnomers

    I have never called that thing a "Blue Shell", even in my childhood. It was only really a thing I learned in online circles, because all we had in the days were instruction manuals, so we always called it the "Spiny Shell". "Shock" is only recent terminology so I'll naturally never use it...

    Misnomers

    Maybe I would like them more if they had a 200cc option or increased the speed because I played the demo at Target and I hated it.

    Misnomers

    I don't think even think Retro is used for the old tracks either, it's been referred to as a "classic course" recently.

    What do you want out of a potential Super Mario Galaxy 3?

    Thing is, I'm right-armed, so I just wouldn't be as comfortable shaking my left arm, plus I don't really want to injure my left arm as well, I have no clue if it will have a breaking point like my right arm did.

    Misnomers

    I use the word "intermission" intentionally disparagingly, because that's how little I respect them as a race course in a game it's ill-fitted to be in, plus it's a jab at how Nintendo obfuscated the option in the menu in their Direct footage. Anyway the biggest misnomer under my skin is the...

    What do you want out of a potential Super Mario Galaxy 3?

    I'm tempted to write a detailed meme response to this thread but honestly, I think I've already done the joke before how Mario can benefit from having a gritty reboot and pander to the popular audience by introducing forced in PvP multiplayer modes, a massive empty open world filled with radio...

    Least Favorite Mario Powerup?

    Power Ups whose purpose is to be an absolute ass to control can die in a fire, so that does include the Spring Mushroom.

    What are the saddest Super Mario games in your opinion?

    I don't think anything in Mario games has gotten this much of an emotional tug at me, but seeing the babies say goodbye in Partners in Time made me pretty sad.

    Mario Galaxy fans are the most obnoxious 3D fanbase, as a Mario Galaxy fan

    Professional real life grass toucher here. It really depends on the type of grass you are talking about, and how well maintained they are, and the climate you are walking on. Obviously, lawn owners that don't take care of their grass by not watering it and cutting it will not release any coins...

    The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (Spring 2026)

    They have a sextillion Pokemon movies and not a single one referenced the more story heavy entries with greater stakes (the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games) I strongly doubt they'll make an exception here. Plus Sonic already has 3 movies and it's a slim chance they'll make a dedicated movie...

    My First Personal Poll: Favorite Flower Powerup

    I'm very surprised Boomerang Flower isn't listed on here considered it was pretty prominent in 3D World and a usable item in Mario Kart 8 but that would have been my pick.

    How do you regard the amiibo collection so far?

    The entire point of amiibos is collecting characters and I'm not exactly thrilled that they kinda stopped production without giving some other playable characters amiibo. Toadette was a giant sore spot too, because she was the only playable character in Mario Party: Star Rush without one.

    What Animal Would You Like To Become A Mario Powerup?

    What else will we get from Nintendo Switch 2?

    I mean new subjects for spin-offs just sounds great in general. It's a fantastic way to get Mario fans to try out new games in genres they wouldn't try out otherwise, plus it acts as sort of a springboard to explore it. I really loved what Mario + Rabbids did, made XCOM lite palatable for Mario...

    Are you excited for the remaster version of Super mario galaxy 1 and 2?

    I'm with Xiahou Dun with this one. I don't even like platformers all that much tbh. Also, I *barely* consider the collection of games a remaster to begin with, they just upscaled some textures, made it run in higher resolutions, added some storybook shit, and basically called it a day.

    Do smartphones make difference?

    I'm sure Mario games have smartphones, it's just that while adventuring, there's not really much use for it. IDK why they would portray Mario browsing social media and horrified at the inane shit said on there on a daily basis.
