I wouldn't worry about the colors that Toad has. Toad is blue in games where Mario and Toad need different primary colors to be easily distinguished in simultaneous multiplayer. (It's especially important if a character's head can be covered up with things like the Cannon Box.) Notice that...

I feel like if there is a Wario-brand RPG it would avoid being WarioWare branded. Wouldn't stop the WarioWare cast from being in it, but I think "WarioWare the RPG" sets expectations that a conventional RPG definitionally cannot meet. The games have great characters, and the specific brand of...

Having the Patty Wagon in the game? Vehicles are iconic in their own way. (I realize the question was rhetorical.) What in blue blazes is Aang going to drive? If this were a Riders game Air Scooter would be a freebie. But it's not and it probably does have to be a discrete vehicle given that it...

I voted Funky, Swanky, and Lanky. Funky because he's is plenty popular and there's a water world, Swanky because he inevitably comes with minigames, and Lanky because I think his design's neat.

Discovering Long Jump -> Cap Throw -> Catch Jump -> Cap Throw -> Dive Jump -> Cap Throw -> Dive is a valid line of movement is throwing me for a loop. The Cap Throw is broken.

Correct! I would rather have had Odd Rock for the whole game, and assuming the acquisition of Bananza transformations roughly divide the game into thirds, we're spending at best only the first third of the game with Odd Rock. (It's probably less, It would be poor pacing to only gain a major...

"You'll be lucky to star in half as many games as I been." —Cranky Kong, Donkey Kong Country 2 One day, Diddy Kong will be able to prove Cranky Kong wrong.

I think Team Sonic Racing should have made Orbot and Cubot the technique racer to have Eggman be the power racer, cutting out Zavok. Zavok just feels like a third wheel considering Zavok and Eggman aren't really allies. Eggman can fit power, seeing as he was sorted there for Sonic Riders...

This is a really hard poll to conduct with a single voting option, as my choice varies depending on what game I'm playing. I actively avoid using the control sticks on my Switch Lite, as I don't want them to start drifting, so I actually have a list in descending priority. If the game can be...

I like crossovers, but I was hoping to get more Sonic characters, especially as there are tracks seemingly set in Secret Rings areas. Since every DLC pack of the Season Pass has to be more hype than Minecraft, I guess if there's any extra Sonic characters they have to be one of the free DLC...

I didn't play the DS or Wii ones so I never registered 2 and U as being too derivative.

As I gradually lose my mind playing Mr. Driller Drill Land, why not create a tier list for every Dristone in The Hole of Druaga? Note that I'm playing in Casual Mode, so the difficulty of the game is general is toned down. Entries in each tier are unranked. [/SPOILER]...

King Dedede defeats Mega Man

Anyone ever think about how fun it is to say "Luiginary"? Localization home run, that one.

Making my userpage sure took alot of energy. https://www.mariowiki.com/User:Salmancer

Only played Sticker Star, but I'm also shouting out the title screen. I could stay on the title screen for five minutes at a time, the different portions of it never get boring overall.

Eh, I think the system works. An image for everything decreases reading quality drastically. We'll run out of text long before we run out of images, even if we start putting them to the left and to the right of the text. I also personally think that name references count. Yes, it's minor, but...

Wait, if the boards lore primarily involves the city of New Wikisburg, what happened the the original Wikisburg?

It would be funny if the next Smash Bros game had a trailer where Nintendo collabs with "WarioWare Inc." Lean into the keyfabe and have Wario say he cut some deals with Nintendo and offered development "advice".

Given the premise of Yoshi's Woolly World, I raise the patch enemies. (Monty Mole Patch, Bullet Bill Patch, Shell Patch, Ruffin' Tumble Patch). Finding a living specimen without Yoshi's abilities is outright impossible, and they don't appear in many courses anyway.

Mario games get released reasonably early into a system's lifespan, and you don't need a special edition console to release close to the original. Then Pokémon and Zelda slurp up all the budget for special editions. Oh the well.

This structure seems kind of complex for Super Mario. Like, Super Mario RPG only has five characters. I'm also self imposing additional rules of "No Bowser team up, No WarioWare" We're also leaving Luigi off this team: without movement mechanics Luigi mostly ends up being Mario. Mario, can't...

The Treehouse stream showed them go through a load zone, then return to the main map with the destruction done in the main map still being saved. This is the kind of thing that sells me on extra processing power. I could see Diddy in co-op being unable to break things but using the Barrel Jet...

If not Diddy Kong, then who's P2 for co-op? I mean, this is assuming there is co-op, but that tends to be a given for Nintendo platformers. Some other Nintendo Direct I suppose? My big concern is how the camera's going to look when we're underground and digging forward. There seems to be stuff...

As The Cutting Room Floor puts it: "For a stout, moustachioed pipe-fitter, Mario's defined more than his fair share of genres over the past couple of decades." I think there has to be at least five picks that should qualify. Here's what I came up with. Super Mario Bros., the platformer that...

Daisy traits: Flowers Athletic Nominal royalty I think one could concoct a plot out of the royalty bit and then use flowers in a gameplay capacity. I'm getting "Princess is a title not a duty so she explores" + "manage flower resources". It's Hey Pikmin 2.

I like the design. If you flash back to the Nintendo Direct introducing it, it notes that it's paired with making DK more comical like the original premise for the character. And it does precisely that through exaggerating the muscles and changing the eye style. In swapping the single ridge over...

The Sonic Racing franchise (I guess we can call it that now?) historically doesn't really pick items from the games its based on, with Team Sonic Racing being the exception for making every item a Wisp and this game splitting the difference between that philosophy and those of the prior games...

Really, is there such a thing as a kart racer that wants to reinvent the wheel on items? The big surprise to me is that there appears to be two different Super Stars on this roster, Monster Truck and Shield. I actually kind of like Dark Chao's concept as a means of preventing hoarding good...

Why does Rabbid Kong's tie read "DK"? He's "Rabbid Kong", initials "RK".

This is a less than great choice for a single option poll given the "I would like to see only some of these racers return." option is kind of meaningless. It could mean anywhere between 2 to 10 options, in any combination. If it has to only allow picking a single option, maybe it could have...

Planes were too complex and boats were somewhat more likely to have physics accidents. I might be able to handle planes now but losing races to physics shenanigans is only funny when it's infrequent. I did like transforming courses. While that's being downplayed a bit because of the whole "warp...

At last! Storm is back on consoles for the first time since Free Riders! It's a Babylon Rogunion! Awful, awful pun aside, I'm probably not up for this one. My memory of the All Stars Transformed demo is that I didn't like it. Then again, it has been over a decade since that game. (Also it was...

I have DKCR3D but I haven't bought Tropical Freeze and don't really have the most interest in more Donkey Kong. If I wanted more of Donkey Kong's brand of blisters I'd buy Tropical Freeze, which given old video game pricing is probably cheaper than DKCRHD is right now. The HD version would need...

Super Mario the series starts at Super Mario Bros. All prior games are backstory to Super Mario Bros. Ya know, like DK Vine's DKU. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is an outright Super Mario game, since you interact more or less entirely with Super Mario concepts in gameplay that is a direct pick...

I deliberately collected 33 Bonus Medals in the last round of Area 333 only to learn that the Area number and number of bonus medals are not on the screen at the same time. So I have nothing to show for the effort except for two screenshots that aren't entertaining even when looked at side by side.

Mario is the title character. Even if the cheat code for Luigi works from game start I'm playing initially as Mario. Even if Luigi has his brand of high jumps and sliding I'd still pick Mario, Luigi's the expert character for later. The thing with Mario in small groups is that as the "balanced"...

We should use WarioWare Gold terminology for all games. Splatoon 2 has both Mash and Twist inputs. Kirby Mass Attack is a Touch game. Super Mario 3D World has Mash, Touch and Blow inputs, but the remake got rid of the Blow inputs.

I got to play a couple of rounds of Mario Kart Arcade GP DX. First thought: why are Spiny Shells normal throwable items? That's scary. What happens if everyone rolls Spiny Shells, does no one win?

Quick question: In WarioWare Gold nothing happens if I keep going past 999 points for a microgame in the index right? I'm sitting on a 999 score right now and I don't know if I'm allowed to put the system down and go home.
