Nintendo probably should have just made a third human character for New Super Mario Bros. Wii, allowing the game to have regular Toad in the fourth slot. Having Toad, Yellow Toad, and Blue Toad all exist simultaneously doesn't really contribute that much. All three of them are Toads who step up...

Yesterday I bumped into some channels that have uploads of some of the older Mighty Magiswords web episodes. Not all of them can be purchased or streamed, so definitely a treat. This also included the original CN Anything set, which I had never seen before.

I consulted a community discussion archive and I believe what happens is the following Mario Portal's Super Mario Bros. Wonder page is updated to have an enemy listing on January 23rd 2025. Mario Portal is available in Japanese and English, therefore it has an English version of that enemy...

Note on the Robot Master contest if anyone plans to submit: Deadline is January 1st 2026 at midnight PST. Less than a month to work with. And while there's no point in reiterating the rules, see the site instead, there's some things that pop out. Entries are made through Twitter posts, so...

I saw a pretty cool Chandra Mii Gunner on Amiibots the other day. There could be cause for getting board game characters, card game characters, and tabletop RPG characters involved. For me, this would mostly mean Magic: the Gathering characters. (And it's not like there haven't been Magic: the...

On the bright side, this means we'll get more RetroGameWheels threads.

Why was Arcade Bunny's Theme in the game anyway? It completely misses the Smash vibe, and surely one of the themes from using a badge catcher would land better and still be usable in all the cases Arcade Bunny's Theme was used for. Is it just "has 'bunny' in the title"?

Strike the Earth! (Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope) Shovel Knight is in Ultimate, but there's no matching song! I think most properties in the game are obligated to have one matching song, and Strike the Earth! happens to hit two good points: It's the song from the first level so everyone knows...

Vivillon, Viv. Vivillvivillon. So, people used these "guns" for violence before they trained Pokémon. Primitive. And temperamental considering their self destructive nature.

Man, updates that change negatively change how a game feels are the worst. Pokémon Unite changed its shop interface to remove the flavor idea of there being multiple storefronts. This slightly streamlines the menus, since each store had to be opened to reach its menu interface, at the cost...

I suppose it would be sad if a game with a 24 cap didn't reach 24 players. If a 25th person shows up I would like to drop instead so that they get to play.

Smash Bros. was built around the idea of using the Nintendo 64's control stick's ability to have gradients of directional input in a way that isn't "move in a 3D space", which created the Smash Attack and its flick based input method. The Nintendo DS doesn't have a control stick, so there's a...

You know weird argument, but I would wager everyone who has a grab in their special moves has the best special moves. Why? Well, if you're holding an non-heavy item, dropping/throwing that item takes priority over grabbing. That means all characters holding a (non-Mr. Saturn and non-Fan) item...

Wait. If Mega Man has Super Arm, and its strong enough to hold the heaviest fighter Bowser over his head, then why doesn't Mega Man get free movement when holding heavy items? It would be more accurate to the game the attack is based on. Like, yes it would dilute the uniqueness of Donkey Kong...

It is kind of cute that Mario Tornado, Mario's down special move, and Corkscrew, Wario's up special move, are counterparts in one sense. Both are multihitting spinning attacks with a final launching hit where the user stretches out, but have several mechanical differerences. (It would probably...

Judging from the trailer (I know I know, never trust a trailer) Bowser Jr. doesn't sound like Bowser Jr. No, it's not that he seems to be taking lead villain role over Bowser, that's fine. It's that he's way more mature than he should be. Read this: That's not my childish, spoiled, impulsive...

I would say egg projectiles that are fired directly downward and have an awkward football bounce pattern. I don't think there's a plausible second power, but if there had to be a second power it could be "reduce falling speed" based on how chickens still have wings.

I did always want a Sticker Star sequel with the premise of "Mario uses the Odyssey to go visit Kersti on the Sticker Star, and then things spiral from there". Pay off on all the Kersti dialogue, you know? I also think a Mario & Luigi + Mario vs Donkey Kong mashup would be cool. Probably have...

This is Super Mario we're talking about, and the premise grants all of Mario's abilities in the majority of cases. The concept of lives being a problem is largely trivial knowing that an infinite 1-up trick can be attempted in this ruleset. It's probably difficult to use one, having to adapt the...

How do people manage their tabs? I've never been able to do it, it always "open new tab, never close tabs" until eventually my computer crashes and burns. And then I restart it and get right back to irresponsibly tabbing. I even installed a extension for "closing tabs but not really" and usually...

I like the Nintendo logo on Diddy's hat. I think the incongruousness of it in the fictional world makes it more entertaining as a customization option

Sonic is faster than Mario. That explains why Sonic got a balloon first, among other media types such as film. Well, to be fully serious Nintendo seems to be very cautious about licensing and Sega seems to be less so. I guess it's important for Super Mario to have a balloon, as it is a...

Only played Mario Party 8, and it's been a while, but the things I recall playing multiple times are Snow Way Out, Swerving Skies and Wing and a Scare. I was also scarily bold when playing Treacherous Tightrope, so I suppose I'll count it since I of course enjoyed when it came up.

Announcer: At Warriors for Hire Headquarters! Votes!! Prohyas Warrior: Check it out sis! There's this crazy battle tournament going on! Something called a Mega Brawl. I found this poster! Vambre Warrior: Really? Let me see! Oh boo. I believe it says we don't qualify… Prohyas: The nerve of...

Thank you!

I concede. This hunt is rough. I made it all the way to 18/19 hintless but the.last ghost is not happening. Does anyone have a hint for ghost #2, or at least can say what section it is in?

Never played, am mostly disinterested in this version. Maybe next time. (Would it have killed them to implement Co-Star Luma into Galaxy 1 so they could at least say there is a new gameplay feature?)

You get people pointing at the screen, you draw some people into the theatre using the allure of seeing something they already like in a new way/their vague memories of this being something they like, you trick MarioWiki into giving you free PR (We have to have an article about the film, but...

I think there's space for deep cuts even in a film. For instance, I think at some point (in the series, not this specific film) a "inside the mind" sequence would happen, and I would love if they retooled Dream's Deep for that purpose. (Its like, one of the defining Dream Team setpieces and the...

I can't come up with anything, Mario currently has hit most of the classic cartoon animals in one way or another, oh and raccoons, and I personally struggle to come up with a "point" for the remainder. Maybe if I dug into mythological creatures... not right now though, that would require...

There is a new poll that hasn't been listed on this thread yet. Its about the reveals people are the most excited for from the Nintendo Direct. To keep this thread's momentum going I'm going to answer that in this bump post. I'm a platformer person, so yes please to extra Super Mario Bros...

File:YWW Early Miis 1.jpg Why didn't we get "Yoshi's Mii Island"? That feels like a surprisingly natural combination of things.

Sticker Star defender here, but I think I've heard enough to know the answers Lack of non Toad friendly NPCs, While prior Paper Mario games have a wealth of different species to meet, ranging from new ones, to old ones given ally status, to allied groups of normally enemy species, Sticker...

I'm a bit of a purist here and say they shouldn't do this. If they did, and I had free reign on picking... I would say we should have Team Rocket's Meowth as a playable character. So much of Super Smash Bros. takes from animated interpretations of Pokémon, and one can technically say an villain...

Super Paper Mario is up for nomination at MarioWiki:Featured articles/N3/Super Paper Mario This is the article's third nomination. The first one was in 2007, and it marked the article as one of the wiki's earliest featured articles. But it lost the spot in 2013 and a renomination in the same...

Early Japanese (hey, there's that qualifier again) Kirby. If I recall correctly, Kirby's Adventure's Mix icon depicts Kirby mixing a drink at a bar, though the implication is that he's serving it. Also If I recall correctly Kirby's Dream Land 2's sound test has Kirby and the Animal Friends at a...

The Propeller Mushroom has a unique form of movement compared to all of the other items on the list, which makes it more interesting to me. Just typing this, I already wonder what happens if a Propeller Mushroom has wings attached in Maker.

Time will not tell because Nintendo already announced what the amiibo do. https://www.nintendo.com/us/amiibo/detail/mario-and-luma-super-mario-galaxy-plus-super-mario-galaxy-2-series/...
