Nintendo Today is doing a collectable card promotion, which I can't go into any more detail for because I don't have Nintendo Today. But the descriptions of the cards are being uploaded to the wiki, and I have a quibble with Bullet Bill's.
When has Nintendo ever used the word "sentient" for...
Well, final trailer came out and I think it answers everyone's questions about the film from a "what is the structure?" perspective. Yoshi joins the team before the Star Festival, then the two groups (Mario, Luigi, Yoshi | Peach, Toad) are separated when Peach's Castle is abducted. How they get...
I'm anti-merge the browser games. I'm sure there's at least a few with real nuance. They're games, there's always some kind of trick, or quirk, or glitch. If even one has enough to grant it a page, then we really should put up with all of them. I very much disagree with the Bulbapedia take on this.
I mean, if you consider "spent X amount of time looking" as a breaking point before consulting a guide, then I think noting that "this game doesn't appear to be designed to encourage using external resources but I found myself at the point where I felt I had to" is just as fair as "I spent X+Y...
I learned that "sluice" is a real word from Vamoose the Lava Sluice!. My memory says it's something dam-like. (This is tempered by the fact its hard to tell what Vamoose the Lava Sluice! is depicting, which means I never got to do the most important part of learning words: using them in a sentence.)
I wish the Illumination films didn't decide on the title formula of going "The Blank-ety Blank Movie" because there could be some especially joyous titles.
Its-a Super Mario World!
Mario's Galaxy of Treasures
Hop, Step, Super Mario!
Then again, the latter two sound a bit like book or direct...
Is there a reason to have both Power Stars and Grand Stars? The film already looks overstuffed, compressing them both into Power Stars is probably very sensible because it saves time.
Considering film one had a Super Star, I feel like doing some flubbing and going with Power Moons probably...
Spoliers for the final battle of the film below
EDIT: Oh, I should probably mention Fandango At Home has the movie available for free with ads, available here. No account is required. I think this is a temporary offer. But if you haven't seen film one, this is an acceptable way to watch it.
Considering we're only a video game wiki and not a service people use daily for important topics like Wikipedia, I'm personally willing to take the quality hit by blacklisting archive.today until they stop running the DDOS.
This stance is in part because keeping the links but telling readers to...
For a few weeks Capcom has been rereleasing the Mega Man Star Force anime on Youtube weekly (playlist) as part of a marketing campaign for the Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. It's Mega Man but specifically within the double life superhero framework. My opinion on it is neutral to bad. I...
Gamechamp 3000: The VG Myths series is the gold standard of the challenge run. Funny, memey, and semanticy, with quickfire editing that ensures even the hour long entries are just as watchable as the shorter ones. Even if I have no knowledge of the game in question, I'll watch its VG Myths...
I think Iggy's use of Chain Chomps is endearing, and he has a really good New Super Mario Bros. U boss battle even without the Chain Chomps. Lemmy's overall colors with his hair and bouncy balls has a lot of stylistic appeal Also, more of a superficial reason, but Roys handheld Bill Blaster is...
As someone who has, yes, never actually gotten the chance to play Super Mario 64, I picked two specific options:
Big hub world: The last time a Super Mario game had a hub world from which most other areas are accessed from was 2007's Super Mario Galaxy. (Lake Lapcat doesn't count, you don't...
Soundtrack for My Fair Hatey, the Wander over Yonder musical, because its great stuff. Yes, it really does need the context of the episode to function, and unfortunately that episode is not standalone. (Its part three in a four part arc, and while that arc is theoretically watchable without any...
Calling all Capcom ID users for the Robot Master Contest User Vote, open til February 5th. There are 20 designs and I believe everyone gets only one vote.
https://www.capcom-games.com/megaman/do/en-us/contest/
I don't feel like making a Capcom ID for this, I don't really need more accounts, but...
Wander over Yonder had to shorten its end tags, the animatics that play during the credits of its episodes, from 30 seconds to 15 seconds following the show's move from Disney Channel to Disney XD. I'm watching the show on Hulu now and I'm starting to feel like this change is basically negative...
"No ROM has resurfaced, the company went under before it released, the developer was cursed by a warlock, we ate the paper the cover art was on, and really, we're just trying to demonstrate how text wrapping works on this thing."
This one was really good. How did the paper taste?
Listening to TMNT theme songs for Magic the Gathering motivated reasons. Not posting all the videos, but I am posting this mashup of 2012's theme song and Rise's theme song.
Most Favorite: Yoshi. He's green, which is the best color. He's cute, but there's still room in the protrayal to have him be fierce. He has lots of different abilities. In particular, his eating abilties are funny, especially when used against large things and/or serious characters. There's a...
I mean, he does! He's the first king character with eyes for a species that doesn't have eyes. The first [some number of qualifiers] [noun] has to count for something.

The biggest missed opportunity of Bowser's Fury is not including Cat Chain Chomp. Think of all the CatDog jokes that could have led to! (This is why Cat Piranha Plant, while similar, does not fill the same niche Cat Chain Chomp would.)
Now that I think about it, Nintendo should totally have a...
Well, the game did run into time constraints that resulted in Bowser's Sky Castle being truncated. If you need to make an ending and are short on time, using a powerful wish to justify a cut from final area to ending with very little inbetween makes a lot of sense.
At the end of Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Mario uses the collected Royal Stickers to make one wish. Mario is a silent character, so the player never learns what the wish is for precisely. We only know the following things from the remainder of the ending cutscene.
Kersti is brought back from the...
I dislike that Star vs. The Forces of Evil decided the name for people from Mewni is Mewman, when it is all too easy to confuse "Mewman" for "human" in a show where humans are a major presence. Yeah, I know that know that part of the joke is that the visible differences between them are minor...
Aside from the existence of Mario stories with Miis as central characters, the presence of Miis shouldn't break the setting. There isn't a plot point that "Mario and co. are the only humans" and there isn't a limit on the number of species in the world, so there is space for a group that are...
I shudder at the thought of having to define what Kirby's texture is.
I feel like my opinion doesn't actually matter here. I'm obsessed. I'd watch a Kirby film even if it were publicly known to be hot garbage.
In any case, I think a big difference is that it's harder to get an uninformed...
On Christmas Eve the Spirit Board had the Geo Stellar and Omega-Xis battle available. Which was strange because I was just thinking about Mega Man Star Force, since Capcom is releasing the anime's dub on Youtube on Wednesdays. I felt somewhat unnerved because the only logical conclusion is that...
Why do the Fury Shadows look like Luigi? Is there something about what Luigi thinks about Mario that Luigi hasn't told us yet!?
(The idea of Luigi having a dark side, as "established" in Smash Bros. Brawl and I think Super Paper Mario, is so weird. But like, is there any other explanation as to...
Blackberry is a very unconventional frosting flavor. It works surprisingly well in the moment but the taste is lingering and I don't think I like that.
Yes yes another one of these threads. We have one for cartoons but not films and figured its a sensible division. As the title goes, "Post Any Movie Thought On Your Mind". You may want to use the spoiler functions more than usual, given the medium in question.
So, Sonic's live action films...
These are all great. (that technically isn't true but I don't think this is the place to complain) Board games are more kinds of games, though admittedly I haven't heard of a standout Super Mario board game. Books aren't games (except for the times they are) but a lot of us are here because we...
Some Taiko no Tastujin songs?
Angel Dream (high energy, has an easy place to implement a loop)

FURIFURI♪NORINORI♪ (First songs are practically required and this is the theme song of the original Switch Taiko no Tastujin release. Might pay to arrange it though)
The ephemeral dances in...
WarioWare! Like, we could go on forever with Nintendo console appearances, but lets stick to the big one. 9-Volt loves Nintendo games, somehow owns every Nintendo system ever released, and makes microgames based on Nintendo's games.
I recall Wikirby having a trivia point that Daroach mentions...
