I made some reverts in the past myself. Particularly concerning instances where the subject's name would be repeated ad nauseam as the first word in every sub-section ("Scuttlebugs are enemies in Super Mario 64." followed by "Scuttlebugs are enemies in NSMB." etc.), lending to monotonous writing.

In the recent dev interview for Bananza, Kenta Motokura (producer) states: This is was a funny observation on their part, and it's funny because it's often true. For instance, I never found it appealing to play as DK in Mario Kart because not a whole lot of what makes him recognizable is...

Mario Kart DS comic The EU site of Mario Kart DS featured a comic strip that was, according to a 2005 post on GoNintendo.com, based on the game's multiplayer aspects. Only one panel of the comic has been retrieved: That post also provides a link to the comic at nintendo-europe.com. It's...

I'm so sorry for my disproportionate reaction here. I could have been much less nasty about it.

I didn't "attack" her because I like the game--the criticism of the game is apt and divergences are fine and natural--, I criticized her because she somehow found it suitable to her argument to label an entire group of people. It's disparaging and I will call it out when it happens. Same thing...

Does anyone else fucking despise it when people brush off praise for something they don't personally like as "WeLL yO'RuE jUsT NoStALgiC" Edit: I apologize for the way I worded this. You didn't deserve such a rude reaction.

An earlier model of E. Gadd's Poltergust, designated PolterGust 1000, is confirmed in an old advergame for Luigi's Mansion to exist. It wasn't used to catch ghosts. It was used to play billiards. PolterCue

I understood that, but you've yet to address to the fact that the Mario manga has "(C) Kazuki Motoyama" in fine print, meaning he wasn't just Some Guy employed by Nintendo to draw Mario for them--he has some legal authority over the manga. The extent of that, I'm unsure of, as the fine print...

There are plenty such examples, like the comic sequel to the '93 Super Mario Bros film, Rare Treats: DONKEY KONG 64 Revisited, and the misc. personal artwork posted on social media by people who took part in official media. The people who made these things not only have no claim of ownership...

Also, Paper Mario didn't get acknowledged by its country's head of state.

Some discretion is fine, yes. For instance, I agree with Sparks that the Crash Bandicoot enemy doesn't really embody Donkey Kong, albeit I can understand if someone finds it reminiscent. However, the examples provided under "What a Mario reference isn't" seem a little arbitrary. As long as...

Oooooh, banana Bananza!

Yeah, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins is great, but I prefer Super Mario Land 6: 2 Golden Coins.

extremely obscure version of that one Mario render where he tips his hat i've only ever seen it on the queue page of EU's My Nintendo Store when the Switch 2 Direct had just been broadcast and the site was overwhelmed with traffic. (archive) It may look very similar, but it's not the same as...

This friggin' babyface Mario render I look at it and I just think of this:

Yeah, definitely. It has the baby bros. in it, and the one after that has playable Bowser, so I know I'm in for a good time no matter what.

Me playing through the Superstar Saga remake right now as my first Mario & Luigi game: I love it.

Could just be the usual online outrage, to be honest. But the price hike is significant enough that I bet no one, not even Nintendo, can accurately predict how big of a success this game is gonna be just based on the series' past success. As I said above, I'm quite cost conscious and the game...

I don't want DLC, I want a full, reasonably-priced package for once. It's not that I'm too poor for it. At the moment I can afford the console, the game, and any DLC that may come for it. I just refuse by principle to buy something so expensive for what seems like so little in return. I don't...

From the crappy roster, to the empty, dull-looking stages, to the lack of any substantial singleplayer campaigns, I don't think I've been any less excited for a Mario Kart game. I would probably still have fun with it if it weren't 80€, which is impossible for me justify. I'll stick to 8 Deluxe...

There was a female Expresso at least 😆

Super hype and it saved the Direct for me. Insta-buy. But are they phasing out the Kong family or something? Mario Kart didn't even have any of them besides DK.

Nintendo went third-party... in reverse.

the NPCs in Mario & Luigi Brothership look so boring.

My first Mario games were unofficial. I have many memories playing Mario Forever at my grandma and uncle (they also had Unreal Tournament and Counter Strike on their PC--was quite a tonal shift switching between Mario and them all the time). On my PC, I was playing some DOS homebrew game with...

if he bears bare bears, then Bear is a pimp.

Pronounce this like you would in Chinese, it fits the vibe of Twitter.

this was intended, no?

while not particularly interesting, she's there to fill a common cartoon trope like almost every other character in Donkey Kong games and i think that's fine.

Option 4. It makes sense for world-famous Mario to have a vain imitator and an official caricature of himself. Luigi's version isn't as justified, but I guess it's fine for Wario to have an easily recognizable sin partner. Further doppelgangers would be lame and would just cheapen the concept...

They need to add the Item Box as an item on its own in Mario Kart. If you roll it, the roulette starts moving again, and there's always a chance you may get an item box again from that, which in turn sets the roulette rolling again. And then there's always a chance you may get an item box once...

Paper Mario 64 and TTYD are the only actually good games in the series. Apologies for the milquetoast opinion but if it helps strengthen my point of view in any way, I have close to no nostalgia for either game, having played TTYD for the first time about 2 years ago and the 64 game during a...

Mario fan animations from the (early) 2010s likely have some if not all of the following three: - Mario being evil - gratuitous violence - Sonic appearance

You know how there were two Luigi's in Super Mario Galaxy? You know how the opposite of doubling is halving? You think Waluigi would do something like...?

Option 8. Never cared for music streaming apps. All the music I want to listen to, I can do so for free on YouTube, and often legally. With regard to Nintendo Music: -using it would require that I pay for Nintendo's online service which is still a deeply offensive and self-abasing prospect to me...

That is the feature nomination of all time.

BCP added Funky and Diddy who were the main reason I even got the DLC. Could've gone with Dixie as well but the Mario Kart 8 devs had built up almost a decade of pent-up steaming rage at not having yet another Peach clone in the game, so they had to let that out. Courses were fun.

Who did 8-bit Donkey Kong better? The Mario Maker team... or Kevin Bayliss (the Rareware OG who gave him his current official design)? I'm partial to the Mario Maker one.

This thread made me want to replay the game. I fully understand why so many people are annoyed with it--it's extremely derivative, has a very limited amount of new concepts, and ultimately does not stand out as a 2D Mario platformer. I'm too tired right now to properly elaborate why, but it...

I do like Mario Kart Tour still!
