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...
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.
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...
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...
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.
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...
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.
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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.
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.
bootlegs but some of these animals look really neat, notably Shark and Praying Mantis Mario. Love chicken suit mario but that idea has already been suggested in predevelopment NSMBW
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...
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.
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.
