I think the rpg settings tend to be more fleshed out as lived in worlds than the platformer locations. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, since the platformer locations somewhat make up in spectacle and level design, and the two genres are going for a different thing. Diamond City from...
I agree with Fawfulthegreat64's post above that it would be better to simply have more games lead by the female characters of the Mario universe than to have a dedicated branding initiative for girls, having them as a playable character options in more games is good as well. I would prefer that...
Here are a few questions for the nominees, feel free to answer one or multiple questions:
1. Stated briefly, how would you envision your potential future role as the chairperson/vice chairperson of the poll committee?
2. Do you have any relevant prior experience working with the poll committee...
The Mario series, for the most part is not intended as an educational supplement, but sometimes you happen to learn some trivia anyways. For example, from the Mario Kart series, I learned that cc, standing for cubic centimeters, is the measurement of the volume of the piston cylinders in a car...
I don't really think there is much information to glean about the political workings of nations in the Mario universe because that's not a focal point of the series.
But with that disclaimer out of the way I'd say that for characters who are called kings without being shown as the ruler of a...
I occasionally like to watch Youtube, and I thought it might be a fun topic to discuss channels that are fun or interesting to watch. Since there are a good amount of younger users on this site I would recommend giving a warning before recommending channels that frequently use strong language...
I had Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed for the Wii-u. It was a fun alternative to Mario Kart, and I liked that the stages had progression from lap to lap.
I would prefer that the movies should mostly remain separate from the video games as their own equal interpretations of the Mario universe. I'm okay with a little bit of inspiration from the movies finding it's way into the games, like how Donkey Kong's new video game design is a mixture of the...
As you take your last breaths the light begins to fade, you feel the void approaching, but for a new light to blink open on the edge of oblivion. You drift towards the light into a new existence, a familiar tiled floor appears beneath your feet. Grey icons hand over your head. This is not...
The T-rex from Mario Odyssey, and the baby Mario Bros were there too. The Mario Galaxy movie seems to be an experiment on how many references can be crammed into a single movie frame before the screen bursts.
That's a good point. I took a look at her appearances in the Mario Wiki. It seems that she didn't really become a more consistent part of the main cast until around 2014 when she was in Mario Kart 8 and Smash 4. I still do have a weird nostalgia for when she appeared more sparingly, but I don't...
As you can probably tell by my current profile theme, I like Rosalina, but I sometimes wonder if it would have been better to keep her appearances more scarce rather than making her a regular member of the core cast, to better fit her somewhat mysterious nature.
I know that to most people that...
I was excited when I found out that my school was offering a course in Mariology, but I'm confused about how all this discussion about the life of Jesus's mother is going to segue into Shigeru Miyamoto creating the playable character for Donkey Kong.
I don't think there's an option to delete your account, what you can do is individually delete your posts, and then go into privacy settings to block everyone from viewing your profile page.
The Cloud flower has always been a step above all other powerups in the Mario Galaxy duology to me. The platforming techniques you can pull off with it are really cool.
I'm probably not even going to watch the movie unless I hear it's exceptionally good, this was just a dumb joke because I have the word Captain in my main username, and adding more os to the word doom is funny.
I don't think Junior is personally very invested in the relationship, but he does look up to his dad in general, and supports it because it makes Bowser happy.
With all due respect, I sincerely wish you well, but I don't think it's helpful to send concerning posts like this to the general public on a forum meant for discussion of a Video Game franchise. In general, most of us aren't equipped with enough knowledge of your situation to provide help for...
Here's a neat website I found that lists console variations, you can see all of the colors the GameCube came in here.
Do keep in mind that in my brief browsing, I couldn't find where the website sourced their information, so there is a possibility of the list being incomplete or containing...
This is a sequel of sorts to count in binary. Now we will count in hexadecimal.
How to count in decimal: Counting in hexadecimal is easy, 1-9 is the same, but you move on to the letters A-F before moving to 10, 1A-1F between 19 and 20, 2A-2F between 20 and 30, and so on.
Example: Here are the...
I feel like I use phones and computers in my dreams less often than I do in real life, but it still shows up occasionally. Maybe it shows up less for me because I didn't have a cell-phone until a lot later than most other people my age.
An obscure Mario character design I like is Dogu from Wrecking Crew '98. The other unique characters are also pretty interesting, including a literal Onigiri Rice Ball. I've never played the game because it's Japan only, but I like when Mario games have weird casts that only show up once.
I feel like I'd actually enjoy Donkey Kong Bananza a little more if I just ran through the layers and stopped at a few points of interest along the way rather than grinding for every last banana and fossil on a level before continuing. I'm still having fun, but I feel like I'm operating on some...
January is wing cap Mario from Super Mario 64.
February is Pagero from Teleroboxer for the Virtual Boy.
March is Koopa Troopa in Super Mario Kart.
April is the Hot Violet Machine from F-Zero: Maximum Velocity.
May is Yoshi, but specifically from the puzzle game Yoshi (1991), I'm not sure though...
Since I made a politics related profile post recently, I'd like to say this:
I believe that there is a cost to the community by raising issues of politics too often in an online community not designed for mainly political discussions, even though sometimes political conversations can often be...
MatPat didn't quit because no one liked him. A lot of people enjoyed his content, even at the time he left. If you watch the video where he announces his departure you can clearly see that his stated reasons for leaving were mainly about having more time to focus on his family.
There can be...
I made a new profile picture of Rosalina.
Edit: Slight updated version to adjust the nose, add the proper hair waviness and fix the dislocated shoulders.
I'm enjoying Donkey Kong Bananza so far, it's an impressive technical achievement. the difficulty started off a little mindless, but after getting through the top-most layers the concepts are starting to click more, and some fun challenges start showing up, even though the difficulty is still on...
I'm not sure if this is appropriate to post here, but as a citizen of the United States, I strongly condemn the recent military action in Venezuela, which did not constitute a threat to the United States or American Citizens abroad, or American allies, and was conducted without the approval of...
The strength of the Mii as an avatar system is that the face parts are very well balanced between being symbolic enough that they each one can represent a broad archetype, while being specific enough, that most people can find options that they can attach to themselves, even if some options like...
