I'm probably just saying this because I'm in that kind of mood but Mario needs more pirates.

I fully expect this movie to be a bloated mess of stuff where the plot is extremely thin and mostly an excuse for set pieces. You know like the first one.

Mario doesn't really consider storytelling a priority.

People like babies. Its not rocket science.

The real answer is not to think about it as they'll make up whatever for the sake of the current scenario. The fun answer is to view it as you see fit, lord knows I do.

I still think its too soon to go into space when they've barely explored the world they created as is.

I mean the movie had Foreman Spike for Pete's sake.

I do wonder how many Mario movies they plan on making.

A type of bird would be neat. Not sure which though.

This thread is about 13 years old.

I always like to reference Bones as an obscure character no one cares about and pretend he was bigger than he was.

How did you know!? :V

Its not like one is preventing the other from existing.

I mean yeah, thats why its a roleplaying game and not a platformer.

You'll never guess.

Its one of the few Mario games in general to have an explanation for it.

I really like the style of it, not entirely sure of how the game plays though.

Entire team is babies.

KInda weird to go into space when they barely explored their take on the Mario world as is but whatever.

Well their shtick is that they are like koopas but immune to fireballs. Since Fire Mario is not as prevalent in the 3D games that would make it mostly redundant.

Toadbert I can see but Toadiko? She has like what, 6 lines of dialogue? She has no notable personality.

Couldn't care either way. Remakes hold little interest to me unless its a bad or meh thing with a good idea and whenever I play one of those spin offs I usually just play as Mario or Bowser so the rest of the roster I largely don't care about.

I remember reading somewhere it was made by a new inexperienced team. It shows if thats true.

I mean he rarely did anything but stand around and worry, which toads already did anyway. He was just more british about it. And this is coming from someone who likes Toadsworth. Plus Kammy Koopa was a redundant character, she serves no purpose at all.

Funny, when I was young those Mario OVAs and that one Japanese movie were rare and hard to find. Nowadays anyone can find it with a simple search.

The little Mario game that said "I can be forgettable!"

I mean Bowser's personality, much as I love it, is fairly stock. All brawn little brain, huge ego, etc etc. Its like how the super show made luigi the reluctant coward to Mario's fearless heroism a good 15ish years before Luigi's Mansion came out.

I'm not even talking about that. Most Dragon Quest villains you only see at the very end of the game. They are actual antagonists, not abominations.

I mean, the mostly not talking badguy you only see at the very end is fairly common for jrpg bosses. Its hardly the worst, its just nothing special. If anything when looking at what commonly happens in jrpgs its fairly stock. Which is a problem in of itself of course but its still hardly the...

Looks neat, not a fan of some of the designs though.

Fun set pieces, some good jokes, remixes of DK music, no licensed music. Cranky Kong with a different voice.

Green Aragorn?

I couldn't care less about shipping. Unless its recieving.

Wot

Plenty. They are fairly basic and straight forward but they do have em.

Should give Wario or DK some time as the "big strong dude" in the party.

I will not stand for this Goomba disrespect.

Yes but it would be a lot funnier this way.

Only if she's accurately sized. I don't mean possessing Peach I'm talkin full giant ghost lady.

Half the enemies in super mario land 2. Many of them only appeared in one level due to how short it's worlds are.

Honestly I don't care what they do so long as it's fun and well made.

yup.

Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong. All I need really.

Sure but it's not much for historical precedent when other series already did that. Like I said, Pac-man was milking the shit out of that stuff when pac-man fever was in full bloom.

I mean, "using different characters in different kinds of ways" isn't exactly a new or innovative concept. Franchising existed long before video games even existed. Heck even in video games Pac-man was doing that before Mario did.

There aren't many Mario games that are super significant. There are a lot of great games in the franchise yes but the actual important ones going by the descriptors given is very small. Basically like, DK the arcade game, SMB1, and I guess SM64 for it's major innovations to 3D gaming.

I just want to point out that if you are using sonic as an example to be FOR stories in Mario platformers I'd look for a better example because most sonic stories are pretty awful.

I mean the problem wasn't that Sonic was doing gimmicky things. The problem was that the games just weren't very good or fun to play.

They are roster filler. Characters that exist to save time on development. MK has done it for years. They were just less blatant about it before
