The thing that gets me about the RPGs is how they do not have the same stigma as Mario spinoffs. One observation I have made is how certain characters like Waluigi were looked down upon because they regularly appeared in spinoffs, with choice phrases like "stuck in spinoff hell" or "roster...

I am not sure if everybody considers him as part of the main cast, but in case he's not, I will pitch a vote for Waluigi. Now I know some of you might be thinking: Waluigi? He's pretty popular! While that could be the case, and indeed he found his way in character group art, there's no denying...

This sorts of put into perspective those who requested for Geno, who only shows up in Super Mario RPG as a major character. I do not think that Geno is in particularly high demand if referring to the Mario series, but it's funny how that characters is in high demand for Smash fighter (even...

Klonoa, I guess. The main character has the vibe of a mascot, and indeed his design evokes classic characters like Felix, and also the animal mascot ones like Sonic. I am not sure if Klonoa was meant to replace Pac-Man as the face of Namco (this was before they merged with Bandai), but he did...

While he did have his ups and down, I personally think Sonic did NOT overstay his welcome. As a character, he is very appealing: he's fast, he has a very appealing attitude, and he's a guy who you don't mind being friends with. In other words, a character designed to be a mascot and as a result...

It's not a review, but since it has numbers (so can qualify as scores) and we know how much every loves that, I thought I would mention it: https://www.ign.com/articles/2005/09/13/top-10-movie-wishlist-the-unusual-suspects Most notably, there are two characters that made it to films: - Krypto...

I think that Bubsy is probably one damning example of a series that overstayed its welcome. It's one thing when some companies demonise plushies from their competitors, but it's another thing when the company demonises the product that they created in the first place. For Bubsy, after its...

As long as Daisy and Waluigi are playable in most of these it's all good. They are yet to achieve the same appreciation as other characters like Wario and Rosalina from what I noticed. I am not sure if Super Mario Bros. Wonder helped to elevate Daisy's reputation but I noticed that not everyone...

Wario and Waluigi to be featured. In the Mario series these two are more or less inseparable at this point of time, so if they were to be featured, then both of them should be in instead of Wario only. It would also be an opportunity for another voice actor to voice Waluigi since he is a...

Given how Nintendo actually raised their Switch forecast for their financial year from 15M to 15.5M, they are unlikely to do so. It's likely their last financial year with the Switch, so it would be in their best interest to capitalise on that since they have quite a few key releases by March...

I don't think it's the poll's intention, but the vibe of the latest question is to me, asking for a Super Mario platformer, since I associate Super Mario with the platformer series of games considering that every Mario series don't use Super as the standard (Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario Golf...

I created an account in order to argue that Mario Circuit (Wii U) is the original track that Mario Kart Stadium is based on, and not the other way around since the former was shown off first, despite the latter being the first track in the course order. The justification being that the first...

I think it's great. The influence of Deanna Mustard is there so the loud exciting voice direction is still felt, which is preferable over how it was in the beginning which was very similar to Peach, like in Mario Party 3 - 5. It's something I felt about Charles Martinet's replacement: the desire...

Personally I think it would be the first Luigi's Mansion that would get a port. They've done it with the first two Pikmin games leading to Pikmin 4, so I think it's reasonable that they would release it not long before the second Luigi's Mansion remake. Could even be marketed as having every...

I'd imagine that with the Nintendo Switch being as wildly successful as it is, it would be the best time to have a Dr. Mario game. Most Nintendo IPs saw a huge uptick in interest for being there, not only the big successes like Mario Party or Animal Crossing, but also the smaller ones like...

We've had this topic for 2020, 2022, and 2023, so that means another year to guess what's in store for 2024! This year, it was a bit more eventful compared to last year where there were only two Mario games. This year? We actually have 3 of them (Super Mario RPG remake, Super Mario Bros Wonder...

I would like to see Nintendo create a new Super Mario game for mobile devices, as long as it doesn't have gacha mechanics. I've only played two Mario mobile games: Dr. Mario World and Super Mario Run. Dr. Mario World I played because I am most curious on it and puzzles are my kind of thing...

Does the supposed existence of "spinoff hell" imply that appearing mainly in spinoffs is akin to them suffering because of their sins? Does this imply that there is a "mainline heaven" that every character is required to strive for? Are all characters who are born in spinoffs sinners from birth...

I've finished the game 100% with Daisy! Yes, that means I beaten every level with Daisy without switching them. While the game is already overall very good, with all the various Wonder effects and the expressive animation from the characters, I think it's enhanced by Daisy's inclusion because...

With that, 11 Mario Kart Wii courses are in this game! I'm surprised by how well-represented Wii gets in this game, where the only courses that didn't make it are Luigi Circuit, Mario Circuit, Toad Factory, Bowser's Castle, and Dry Dry Ruins. Ironically no Battle courses from that game are...

I've created a poll for this thread! Also, I just received this game by mail order, so I can start to play it like many people who have gotten it. Thank you for reading.

It's not everything since it takes a long time to type them, I'll just type out what I think I would like to see. ========= The scene starts with Luigi with his trusty flashlight, investigating a dusty old room. In the room are empty frames of paintings. When he shines a light on one of them...

Basically I recorded on the Switch, and then used a GIF maker to determine where to best loop those. It's difficult to get right, so I didn't do any more. The only character that I would like to have (that didn't already have a GIF) is Daisy. Thank you for reading.

It's disappointing when a game that I recently finished didn't have any speedruns. As an example, I recently finished the game Lair of the Clockwork God (which is adult-oriented despite its cartoonish graphics), yet there are no speedruns. Velocity Ultra is another game that didn't have any...

Unforeseen Obstacle The art submitted for September 2023's Shroom article is inspired by a comic strip that I read where one character didn't manage to see what's on their right to them because they have a blind spot thanks to the bangs that covered that eye. I immediately thought that...

I'm bringing up this topic to post the Reddit results. The relevant link: https://www.reddit.com/r/Mario/comments/16zefk3/who_rounds_off_the_main_cast/ If you just want to see the results, basically it's as follows: Character Votes Bowser Jr. 186 Wario 325 Kamek 46 Rosalina 177...

What is your opinion on imgbb? It's the image host that I currently use to host images. Note that it only has a 32MB limit if not using a payment plan, which I think should suffice. It also has the ability to autodelete images after a time frame if you find that useful. Or, the following...

For this year's awards, I reserve the presentation later then most, as usual. for my part, I noticed that one particular award is up for grabs, and I already know what I want to do with it, so I went to reserve it. My modus operandi is to only take up an award if I can make it all the way...

Recently in an interview for Super Mario Bros. Wonder, there is this excerpt that the developers opted to remove character collision in a significant way, only leaving few ways for player interaction (riding Yoshi, reviving ghost characters): This decision didn't sit well with some players, who...

I should point out that Toadette was a fifth option because you can create up to six poll choices on Reddit (sadly it's deleted for some reason), so I just added her for fun to round up five options outside the "other". I did not expect her to win the poll or get much votes, but it's there in...

I thought Super Mario Sunshine controlled like a charm. The hearsay of the game implied that the FLUDD hampered Mario's movement and the obstacle courses where Mario is without the FLUDD is preferable, but I didn't feel that. I guess the closest thing to impaired movement is needing to find...

It has potential, I think, but online multiplayer is a must for something like this, and also the requirement of CPUs filling in for empty slots. Mario & Sonic's 2020 game has online multiplayer and some sports support up to 8 players, but it is marred by needing an amount of players that makes...

Pretty much only Singapore. I did go to Australia but not Sydney (only went to Brisbane), and for Thailand it's not Bangkok, at least I don't remember going there. Did not go to any of the US and European countries that got courses, and didn't go to Japan either. As cool as it is for Mario Kart...

What happened to Super Mario Odyssey 2? The same thing that happened to Super Mario Galaxy 3. Basically something that only happens in fan expectations, because the original did so well. Maybe Super Mario Galaxy 2 gives fans the impression that sequels are guaranteed? (Though, I wouldn't mind...

(Note: This was originally posted on the Mario sub-Reddit, but it's automatically deleted and I can't tell why. No word from the moderators, where at a glance, most of them are inactive for years, except for one or two) The Mario series has a lot of characters, but let's say we narrow down the...

Floaters The 'Shroom's ? Panel is about something I noticed about Mario Kart: Double Dash. I don't know if anybody noticed it, but this is the only Mario Kart game where the characters celebrate by riding somebody's car without driving, obviously only the winners (the runner-ups still drive...

Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch) It's not a new Mario vs. Donkey Kong, but I'll take it! I love the Mario games that feature his first and less-popular platforming mechanics, and I hope that this game succeeds because I wish we have more of those types of games. Thank you for reading.

Inspiration can come in many places, but some might be more fun to know than others because they are not as obvious. So like how Popeye, Olive Oyl, and Bluto influences the dynamic of Mario, Pauline, and Donkey Kong in their first ever game. I'll start with a couple. One example would be...

Between Luigi's Mansion 2 HD and WarioWare: Move It!. Luigi's Mansion 2 HD looks to just be a faithful rerelease of the game, which means Mario's role will inevitably effectively be Luigi's trophy and not a significant supporting character, or even playable. Once again, multiplayer is all...

With all the content already done with, the breadth of it is rather impressive, but it's also a hassle to get what you want, I imagine. After all, I get the impression that not every driver/kart part/course is available all the time, unlike Mario Kart Tour or Dr. Mario World (the latter still...

I can certainly see how keeping the identity of a new voice actor may be for safety reasons, long enough for it to be properly revealed. Voice actors are a very sensitive issue, it seems. Even back in September 2021 when the first thing the The Super Mario Bros. Movie was the voice cast...

Mario vs. Donkey Kong would be my pick. While it's not a new DK-style Mario platformer, this is better than nothing. I hope that it's successful enough to convince Nintendo that we want more Mario platformers of this style. Thank you for reading.

The paper styling of the characters in this game is very clearly a touched-up version of the original version, unlike the two previous games which are more in line with the first Paper Mario game. I wonder if they are planning to use this style going forward. Certainly invites a lot of...

One thing that I am good with the game is that Mario is not used as a crutch to boost the importance of the main character. So there was an old DS game called Super Princess Peach, which has the plot of... Bowser kidnapping Mario and friends, so Peach has to rescue them. And in that game, Mario...

Since this is a remake, they are likely going to keep it unchanged, but I hope that the final boss for this game keeps the unique status of being Bowser-free. For the uninitiated, every Mario RPG has Bowser's involvement: usually Bowser is the final boss (even in Partners in Time!) or part of...

I hope this game sells very well, because I would love for the DK-styled Mario platformer to return! I know some think that the Super Mario platformers already filled the "Mario platformer" quota (basically a similar justification for saying Mario & Luigi already filled the RPG quota so Paper...

Somehow got vote #2! Anyway, I voted for the Wonder Effects because they all show to have a lot of variety, like the one that is running on the wall and the running rhinos. Thank you for reading.
