Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

[Magikrazy]

There is no such thing as a truely terrible Mario game (as in, there is always something at least interesting about any given Mario game, not that they all all great)

Baby Yoshis(SMW-Type) are not ugly or drunk like most people say. They actually look sleepy.

People think Baby Yoshi's are drunk? wtf? I mean seriously, they just hatched from an egg. Do you expect just new born dinosaurs to look 100% normal?

1. Luigi is the star. It's also one of the very very few multiform mario games with even a pc version. That would never happen nowadays.
2. The only time travel plot a Mario game had before Mario and Luigi Partners in time
3. An educational mario game. A novelty at best.

Like I said, I don't think all Mario games are good. I can just think of interesting things about all of them.

That's just like criticizing babies for having big cheeks, technically I witnessed more people saying Baby Yoshi is stoned than being drunk which is not any better.

 

[DragonFreak]

Why do people have to be idiots?

I absolutely adore Baby Yoshis.

 

[yoshiking14x]

Yes I obviously agree with you, they are cute and quite useful in rescuing-Peach-situations. And they do the cool whistling sound.

The Hotal Mario (and the zelda cdi) cutscenes are some of the most creepy things I ever saw.

Also I enjoyed Yoshi's Island DS more than Yoshi's Island. I guess it could be I played the former first but I found the game to be more challenging as a whole. I have stayed well away from New Island after hearing about it.

They make ears bleed

Just like adult Yoshi

Baby Yoshis look both stoned and drunk.

An interesting concept isn't a redeeming quality by itself.

 

[RedShell]

1. The nsmb series is mostly good. Not all great, but they are all solid games
2. The cape feather was the best Mario powerup ever
3. Yoshi games as a whole are mediocre (aside from Yoshi's Island)
4. There is no such thing as a truely terrible Mario game (as in, there is always something at least interesting about any given Mario game, not that they all all great)
5. All of the koopalings deserved their place in Mario Kart 8
6. Cross-platform dlc does not belong in Mario Kart

I second this.

I know. But that's not what I meant. I worded it badly but by "truly terrible" I meant a game that not only is horrible but has nothing worth mentioning about it.

My argument was that even with bad Mario games there's something interesting thus saving it from my definition of "truly terrible" , even if the thing that is interesting is the only positive thing about it. I wasn't saying that that redeems the game from being "bad" though.

Also this was meant to be subjective of course.....

I agree with 3, 5, and 6.

 

[Ray Trace]

1. The nsmb series is mostly good. Not all great, but they are all solid games yes
2. The cape feather was the best Mario powerup ever ---- no
3. Yoshi games as a whole are mediocre (aside from Yoshi's Island) below average is more like it and not even yoshi's island is that good)
4. There is no such thing as a truely terrible Mario game (as in, there is always something at least interesting about any given Mario game, not that they all all great) true, you'd be hard-pressed to find a mario game as bad as, say, sonic 06
5. All of the koopalings deserved their place in Mario Kart 8 what's "deserving"?
6. Cross-platform dlc does not belong in Mario Kart i don't care

 

[Magikrazy]

I think after 26 years of no playable appearances, they are more or less deserving of one.

 

[Ray Trace]

Cheep-Cheeps have been without playable appearances longer

so...?

 

[Magikrazy]

The Koopalings are actual characters, not generic species characters.

 

[Ray Trace]

but generic species are characters nevertheless

i don't think it matters if a character is generic or not to warrant a spot. the question is their popularity and relevance

the koopalings are pretty popular and had been relevant, so that's why I think they got in.

I hate the term "deserving" tho

 

[Lee Chaolan]

The Koopalings don't "deserve" to rule out Mario Kart regulars such as Diddy, Birdo, King Boo or Bowser Jr..

 

[Lumastar]

They "deserve" to more than Smash Baby and Pretty Scrap Metal.

I never said that an overrated baby and female Metal Mario "deserve" to be in any more than anyone. But it makes more sense for a Mario Kart game that goes clone overload.
