    Super Mario Bros. Wonder

    My only quibble is the Bubble power-up which is identical to Blue Baby Yoshi, but I'll wait to see how they'll integrate it in the game.

    Super Mario Bros. Wonder

    Agreed. The bosses of the first NSMB game get a lot of praise but I feel they get very overrated simply for not being Koopalings: sure some of them are great in terms of design (the bosses of worlds 2 and 7 in particular) but others are unremarkable (one is just a large Goomba) and they're all...

    Super Mario Bros. Wonder

    Is the complaint that Koopalings are everywhere still legit though? Honestly they haven't been around for quite a while at this point. They've been left out of all the last mainline games from 3D World onward, and were introduced only as a late update in SMM2. Not even spin-offs seem to bother...

    My only issue with that Daisy art is how Shy Guys and Ninjis are depicted as her minions.

    A group of Yoshis appeared in a trailer.

    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    There are people who dislike it, but that mainly stems from the fact it is often seen in conjunction with the later, 'repetitive' entries. I believe NSMBW is the least derivative NSMB game in the series if compared to its successors (new soundtrack, three new power-ups, the Koopalings, which at...

    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    I loved Galaxy 2 but it admittedly made some really weird design choices. Also, as for unpopular opinions, I think NSMB2 has a level design on par, if not better than NSMBW.

    Whats your favorite Mario Party?

    I love Mario Party 9 and it might in fact be my favourite, I understand why it's unpopular but I think it's incredibly funny and enjoyable. Though I have a soft spot for Mario Party DS too.

    Mario Characters who are dead or forgotten

    That's certainly true. But that said, it seems to me that nowadays it's still usually preferred a larger cast of recurring character (and fewer one-off characters), whereas it formerly was the opposite, with a smaller recurring cast and more one-off characters. There are exceptions, of course...

    Mario Characters who are dead or forgotten

    I believe they're trying to keep their cast as small and recognisable as possible nowadays. For marketing, I suppose.

    Mario music you would like to see return

    The fact Puzzle Plank Galaxy music never returned in any capacy is a crime.

    Mario Characters who are dead or forgotten

    Some characters are indeed straight up conceived as one-off members of the cast. Others, however, albeit conceived and promoted as fixed members of the Mario family, were later replaced by better designs/characters. Koopa Kids and Donkey Kong Jr. are two examples that come to my mind (and some...

    Mario Characters who are dead or forgotten

    That is really weird. Are Kleptoads the only frog-like things in Mario universe? Or at least the most recognizable? Not counting the actual frogs in Odyssey.
  15. Larry Koopaling

    Mario Characters who are dead or forgotten

    Koopa Kids have seemingly been erased from Mario history altogether. Bowser Jr. certainly made them quite redundant. Also shoutout to the Kleptoad, appearing on a single planet in Super Mario Galaxy 2.

    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    I always understood Mario Sunshine's King Boo as not the real thing, but rather a 'fake' King Boo made out goop - which goes to explain his unusual appearance, and why this design was so unique. Sunshine design could be used as an alt for Mario Kart Tour though.

    what if Yoshi's eggs hatch?

    Overthinking this a bit, perhaps full-grown Yoshis can generate an egg to protect themselves, which seems to be the implication in a few games (like Super Mario Galaxy 2).

    Ideas if Bowser had a 3D platformer.

    I agree that, should this game exist, it should be conceived as vastly different from previous games. Nothing that already exists should be a comparandum. Bowser would need a specific gimnick on his own - breathing fire and destroying things with his size is too basic, as it has already been...

    Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope

    Oh boy Rule 34 is gonna have a field day with Rabbid Rosalina My bets are on Bowser as a supporting character of some sort. Unfortunately, spin off mostly have him as a taken over villain or as a minor villain/supporting character. The first game already did the former, so...

    Mario Golf: Super Rush

    Adding Wingo would have been both extremely random and welcomed. I mean sometimes I don't even understand why they created such a cool character without using it ever again. At least Draggadon reappeared in Color Splash.

    Why does Bowser never die?

    If you're looking for a, well, scientific motivation, it looks like the Bowser species is somewhat resistant to all kinds of major injuries - Koopalings did survive lava and collapsing castle, and Bowser Jr. was scared not by being thrown in the outer space. But again, it's Super Mario.

    I believe Snailicorn from New Soup DS makes a good fit. It has literally no business existing but to be an unexplained replacement for Bully. Talking about anti hero.

    Do you want all of the doctors introduced in Dr. Mario World to appear in more Dr. Mario games?

    Not only that, they should add freaking doctor Petey Piranha. I mean, there's literally doctor generic Piranha Plant.

    Heights of mario characters

    Or it's the other way around, with the New Donkers being something close to 10' (3 m I think). As for the OP: I think this video is pretty accurate, from my boy Buzzy Beetle standing at 2'6'' (76.2 cm) to Super (?) Bowser at 75' 10'' (over 23 m). Can't even imagine how big Fury Bowser can be.

    I don't consider myself particularly good at like any game, but I still like them. However I'm pretty bad at fighting game, even though I admit they can be funny. I used to have a friend with whom I played Smash Bros Brawl a lot during my High School years. I almost always lost, but hey funny...

    Worst levels in Mario games

    Yeah it's a pity Sunshine is such a sadistic game. Like you said, it's actually pretty enjoyable when you just play it casually, the atmosphere is just charming - and having a properly dubbed Bowser totally at random (you know, he was only capable to express himself through roars and angry...

    Mario series related Dreams you had

    I often dream about a new... New Soup Game. However, the context is always kinda weird. For instance, I once dreamt this I had to steal this New Soup game from like a small store located into a small village (which happens to be a real village south to Rome) which in my dream was ruled by...

    Corona Mountain from Sunshine. God, I hate that level, it's just unfunny. On a side note, I think battling Bowser's in a giant green slime bath tub was pretty funny.

    Favorite/Least Favorite YouTubers?

    Rimea and CeaveGaming might be some of my favourite right now. They are pretty chill guys and their analysis are super funny and enjoyable. On the other flip of the coin, I... don't really like NB. I mean, he's not bad and can be pretty enjoyable, but it's a bit cringeworthy time to time.
