    I'd love a lot of these, but I voted for "Conventions emphasizing sharing creative works" because let's be real, most of the others would probably still limit themselves to the most mainstream parts of the Mario franchise and I want a place where I can just go and openly show my love for the...

    It feels canonically incorrect to ignore bosses.

    I mean other characters have been shrunk to fit the gameplay of Mario Kart (Honey Queen being the most notable example outside of Bowser, whose size varies anyway)

    It feels canonically incorrect to ignore bosses.

    I don't think crazy world ending villains like Shadow Queen should be written off either. Them racing around with Toad and Goomba would be funny (and appeal to people who like that type of character in the series) and I don't think any further reason is needed.

    it resets Mario's position backwards every time he crosses a certain point, but does it in a way that it looks seamless.

    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    On the contrary I find it mediocre at *worst,* and people grossly overexaggerate its negatives while downplaying its positives. It does a lot more right than wrong in my opinion. There is not enough appreciation for all the things that SPM was the last game to have, everyone always only looks at...

    I mean, these are all characters they had to model for the track hazards anyway so I'd argue they're not wastes of significant development time.

    Mario Kart World

    I don't understand the notion that the enemy/species inclusions are worse than the babies and metals. Their designs are wholly their own, not iterative on that of another character already on the roster. That alone gives them more merit than Pink Gold Peach, Baby Daisy/Rosalina, and Tanooki...

    Valentine in near. How'd you arrange the speed dating?

    Out of these, I'd pair Waluigi with Rosalina, Prince Haru with Spike, and Mona with Mary O. I thought about commenting earlier but I didn't quite know how to express how i felt about the way this is structured. Eventually decided to just make two of my picks intentionally go against that structure.

    2014 was the best year in Mario terms.

    It's hard for me to define a single favorite year, but contenders are 2007- Super Paper Mario is my favorite game of all time, Super Mario Galaxy is peak & still a contender for my favorite 3D Mario, Mario Party 8 & DS were the last hurrah of Hudson's Mario Party and the last traditionally...

    What Would A New Trilogy Of Paper Mario Games Be Like?

    To be fair I want this just as strongly as I want RPGs to embrace their original characters. I hate the idea that they have to be thinking about this character being immediately abandoned when creating them. I'd rather them instead be allowed to think about potential future appearances when...

    Create your own ideal party for next RPG title.

    Ooh this gives me the idea to try and craft the party of a story I've had bouncing around in my head for a while. I'm aware this is something Nintendo would never actually do, but I did try to keep the baseline world, prior to my additions & developments, accurate to the canon one. That said I...

    Personally I use Photoshop on my PC, and make heavy usage of layers. Each character is on two different layers, one behind the template and one in front, with the relevant parts of the layer in front masked out to make them look as if they're coming out of the template. When it comes to mobile...

    Mario Kart World

    I'd also like to point out that Mario Kart 8 was $60 on its 2014 release. $60 in 2014 calculates to $81.50 today. This game is no more expensive than 8 was when it launched. On top of that it blows 8 out of the water in terms of content. Nintendo keeping their prices at 60 into the Switch era...

    I won't pretend I know how game dev budgets work, but this looks like an ambitious project, I don't think a single major asset here is reused. There's even retro tracks here that HAVE made recent appearances and yet they're still completely rebuilt from scratch. Plus the whole "you can...

    What Mario games would fit in the National Game Registry?

    Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It introduced the most defining elements of the Paper Mario visual style, and it became such a cult classic that the series not living up to it became a major talking point for every game after (including Super Paper Mario which I personally love). Nintendo...

    Mario Kart World

    The tariffs combined with inflation made a $10 increase in the baseline price from the Switch 1 to 2 expected imo. The only surprise here is Mario Kart being one of the "higher end" releases, but given how ambitious this one is combined with being the first fully original console entry in 11...

    What If Nintendo Had Followed Sega's Direction During The 2000s?

    That feels like a lot of effort for something that's entirely optional. I think something like that would work better in a hub-based 3D Mario game, so progressing through the game naturally means you WILL be in the hub a lot and see this character stuff and have the opportunity to engage with...

    What If Nintendo Had Followed Sega's Direction During The 2000s?

    See I've always seen story and characters as going hand in hand. You can't have a good story without good characters, and often times I grow more attached to characters that are involved in a more elaborate story. That's why I've been so obsessed with the characters from the Mario RPGs for a...

    Super Mario-Kun

    My opinion on this has shifted over the years. While the fact that it includes spinoff material including the RPGs is still a huge plus (and still something I wish would be done elsewhere in the franchise), how it portrays some of the characters is... i can't beat around the bush, problematic...

    What If Nintendo Had Followed Sega's Direction During The 2000s?

    There are some things I wish Mario would take cues from Sonic on. Namely, Sonic has more serious and ambitious stories in a lot of his mainline games, while Mario avoids this in his biggest hitters. I think the Mario RPGs are a look into the potential the Mario universe has for that kind of...

    I love Super Princess Peach so I'd love a sequel to that game (using the same pixel art style, just with suitably increased detail for modern resolution) where you can play as the other Mario girls.

    Do you support the clones?

    The clones are not my favorite inclusions, however I think there are better ways they can be implemented to make them unintrusive and actually allow for even more of them to select from too. Like, imagine you hover over Mario, and then use the L and R buttons to rotate between different...

    Jesus Christ that Reddit comment about WoN was downright depressing. As if I needed any further reason to think Nintendo has their head up their ass.

    Time to predict: who'd make it into base game for Mario Kart NS2 this time?

    They do the same thing for Donkey Kong, but it's had a handful of reps over the years in Mario Kart and similar roster-based spinoffs. It is true that Nintendo as of late has leaned more conservative than they did in the 2000s (when we got Sluggers, which even had King K. Rool playable). But...

    Mario Kart World

    I don't get the issue with the DK design. Clearly the idea to bring back elements of his original arcade look and mix them with his Rare look was not a movie-specific one. The movie just happened to do it first, thus everyone says this is movie DK. This game appears to be going for a 3D...

    Does Hoops 3-3 / Sports Mix have sequel potential?
