You've got to listen to this music. Very powerful and emotional.

I think it's a step up, but the decision to release it a couple of months after New Super Mario Bros 2 really hurt the series. It made people think NSMB was all Nintendo cared about and contributed to the unfair reputation the series has for being cashgrabs. It should have waited a year or two...

I don't like how the story with the Paper Goomba in Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam got aborted with no conclusion. He blows the cover of Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario and just runs off to wherever with no mention of his fate afterward. It really could have used an expansion, for example after he...

I disagree. I love the New Super Mario Bros games and think they're among the best platformers ever made. We should've gotten more of them. I think most of the series' contentious reputation comes from New Super Mario Bros 2. They didn't give it many original mechanics and the coin-collecting...

So 150 cubic centimeters in the pistons of each kart. Which means the engines can pump more energy from fuel, so the karts can go faster. Man, Nintendo is smart.

Like seriously, HOW do you manage to blow that game like THAT?! The worst part is that even when the Patriots got the momentum back on that strip-sack by Hightower and scored to get within eight points, the Falcons still had every opportunity to close out the game and win. Literally all they...

Oh well, in that case, they should have made it possible for all four characters to play the final battle. It would have given the game its own unique identity and allowed all the characters a chance to be the hero.

Yoshi can't grab or punch enemies. But yeah, it would be really nice to see how he deals with the Bowser battles, and if the game would adjust in any way to give him a chance.

Super Mario 64 DS is an excellent game, but I would have changed two things to make it even better: allow all characters to use the Wing Cap, and allow Mario, Luigi, and Wario to fight the final battle against Bowser. It really sucks that this is Wario's only appearance in the mainline Super...

Bonetail is the monster the Shadow Queen put in the Pit of 100 Trials to punish people who defied her.

I just realized that the Trouble Center in Thousand-Year Door is supposed to be that game's successor to Koopa Koot. Wow, I'm an idiot. Edit: Technically, I did know about it for a while, but I kept forgetting.

I'm sorry, I don't really know much about Pokemon. I'm gonna need a little more detail than that.

In the Mario and Luigi games, there are two different stats for both POW and DEF; one stat is the base stat that is seen when you open up your stats on the menu in the overworld, and the other is the battle POW/DEF that can change depending on what happens in battle. What's the difference...

The overworld theme of New Super Mario Bros is one of the most iconic themes in video game history. Maybe it doesn't have the critic support, but if you were a kid growing up in the late '00s and early '10s, this was the song you played to.

The recent ones since Mario Party 9 have been mostly very stale. They feel like random poses that could belong in the platformers. The GCN era animations felt very energetic and had a vibe to them. I used to play as my two favorite characters Mario and Luigi all the time in Mario Party DS, and...

Specifically the ones from the GameCube and DS. Here's the full view of them:

I really hate how they removed all the characters' signature victory moves and replaced them with generic signs of excitement. What happened to Mario stepping back and punching the air (in DS, it's a backflip followed by punching the air) or Luigi's two jumps followed by his elbow pump? Same...

I was beginning to worry that it was no longer being considered a Mario game among the community. I've got a story to tell. A few months back, I got into a spat on Wikipedia relating to the "Mario (franchise)" article that had to do with whether Donkey Kong or Mario Bros should be considered...

Can you expand upon that, please? I've heard something of this sort for years, but can you explain the details of what exactly it pertains to?

This is going to ruffle some feathers, but I would really dislike if they actually did that. I know everyone in gaming loves to hate on Peach for being the useless damsel who does nothing but get kidnapped by Bowser all the time, but if you look at the lore of the Mario series, that's not...

I love them. I think the idea of Toads fighting alongside Mario to rescue the princess is cool, and I like their design. However, I can't help but think of how Wario should have been playable in New Super Mario Bros 2. What a waste.

Also, how did Bowser and his minions take over the various places in the Mushroom Kingdom while making it look like nothing happened? There are no signs of a struggle on the way to places like Dry Dry Ruins and Crystal Palace, and Mario has to collect various keys and items to progress further...

Anyone remember that long letter chain in Paper Mario that involved you delivering a sequence of letters across the entire world that looped around to the same person? I'm probably the only one who liked that part.

Melty Monster Galaxy. That's all I have to say. One of the most awesome tracks a Mario game has ever had. And I just love the sound the Launch Star makes when playing that level.

Is the Forever Forest magical, or is it just really confusing?

So I guess you read the message on the talk page, then connected it to the news about the accident and realized what happened? Man, that must have sucked. I didn't know her at all, but it still makes me sad. She was so young too. I guess we only know how valuable people are when they're gone.

On a more serious note, we're not supposed to know each other's names or personal information or anything like that. That's why we use usernames. So how did people know that Walkazo died in a car accident? And how did they know her name?

I first found the wiki when I was randomly looking up Mario stuff and doing research as a kid. The wiki pages often came up first or second in the search results, so I started pulling them up and reading them for info, and I ended up getting hooked and visiting the wiki on a daily basis. I...

My username on the wiki is lcrossmk8. The L stands for Luigi, my favorite character, and "cross" is from a dream I had where I was a character named Cross. The "mk8" of course stands for Mario Kart 8, which I was really into at the time I came up with it. As for my username on the boards, it was...

Paper Mario. Specifically the beginning of Chapter 3.

What is the name of the guy at the beginning of Forever Forest who tells Mario and company how to navigate through the forest?

The Wii U is an underrated console that gets too much hate. Did it have its problems? Sure. But you had things such as backwards compatibility with all Wii games, free online play, Miiverse, and the Virtual Console, and of course that stellar lineup of first-party games. It deserved to be around...

Me too, brother. It's such a blast to play! (Get it? I'll see myself out now...)

Knowing you, you probably wish Baby Luigi magically made an appearance. How that would happen? I don't fucking know, just spawn some random bullshit out of nowhere to advance the plot. Maybe Grodus tries to torture Pennington to figure out how to stop Mario, only for Pennington to trick him into...

Ah, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. I have to admit, I didn't understand the love for the game and thought it was massively overrated, but when I watched Emile's Let's Play of it, it opened my eyes to just how amazing this game was, especially its story and characters. Though the story got...

I would prefer Waluigi appear alongside Wario in Wario games like WarioWare and Wario Land. It would really explore their relationship and solidify their status as best friends.

They made the same mistake they made with Mario 64. We want Luigi!

The ending of Super Mario Galaxy never fails to get me. Watching everything in existence get sucked into a black hole, and then the Luma pops out of Mario's hat and waves goodbye to him before throwing itself into the black hole along with hundreds of its fellow brethren...man, that is such a...

I would like to see some references to the mainline Mario series. Have Mario or Luigi appear in some way.

You had me at "diehard Luigi fan".

The New Super Mario Bros games are overhated and deserve much more credit for honoring the legacy of the old 2D Mario games and bringing the spirit of those games back to life for contemporary generations.

Blocked because you love Sonic and Mario is way better. Fight me, it's true.

Mario Baseball coming back?! Holy shit, YES!!! I LOVE baseball and I love Mario! My two favorite things combined into one! Do it, Nintendo! Seriously, DO IT.

I guess that makes sense, but I'm honestly dying for Waluigi to finally appear in a mainstream Mario game. It would give him the spot he deserves and really flesh out his character and especially explore his relationships with Luigi and Daisy.

I'm not sure why Waluigi would be a fighter. What exactly does he bring to the table? He only appears in the spin-offs to be Wario's best friend and partner-in-crime and all his characterization and abilities are derived from what he does there. I think he would need to appear in a mainstream...

This medley of Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr from Super Smash Bros Ultimate goes hard.

Are you an administrator on the Mario Wiki? Also, what is your name there?
