Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

[Magikrazy]

I ship Donkey Kong and Goomba because they're both brown.

 

[ArchagentEverlasting]

I ship King Boo and Shy Guy because the both have the letter g and have white on them (/s)

 

[Julia-BM]

I think that belongs here or here.

This may or may not be similar to the reasoning behind shipping Bowser and Rosalina because they're both single parents.

Unlike with Yoshi, however, Rosalina has a negative relationship with Bowser, so I do not see them working well at all.

Champion Road is my favorite variation of the Gusty Garden music track

I prefer Big Dripper from Mario Party 7 over Coney Island from Mario Party 5. I think the latter has a much better concept and ending though.

One thing about New Donk City that I found a bit iffy: DK kidnapping Pauline is considered a big historical event, so much that a festival is dedicated to it. Why do those people celebrate an incident? If that's okay, why did they forget that a big fat reptile with a crown previously terrorized the city from a zeppelin? How's that for a change?

(Assuming Big Ape City is the same as New Donk City.)

 

[Borp]

This is why you don't assume.

I actually agree with this, if only because I barely listen to GGG that much as is.

 

[Koopa con Carne]

Yeah, but apparently both places are the same because both are said to have hosted the original fight with DK. It couldn't happen in two separate locations at the same time...

Haha I never thought about that but you are right. That'd be like Boston having a huge festival for the Marathon Bombings! Okay, maybe not that extrreme but you get what I'm saying.

They even have a reenactment of the attack DK did. You'd think Pauline would be sickened to see such a thing... But actually she's the one who put it together right? The whole thing makes no sense.

 

[Koopa con Carne]

But Pauline herself said DK's attack was traumatic! Do they just commemorate disasterous events with a big smile on their face?

 

[Ray Trace]

It is the Mario series so yes.

 

[The Superstar Saga]

Story and original characters are important to the Mario series.

I mean, it's more of a bit of quirky folklore than a tragedy.

 

[Koopa con Carne]

original characters are important to the Mario series.

Indeed they are.

I like Glowsquid's point. There is no fatality in the Mario series, hence no one really cares how dramatic that event "could" have been.

I'd wager the fabled battle in Crumbleden didn't even have real weapons. The swords in the ground are plastic, and Lord of Lightning is Bowser's Chinese bootleg.

 

[Ray Trace]

Original characters are important to the Mario series. Without them creating original characters, we wouldn't have Lord of Lightning, Cappy, Glydon, the Broodals, and the friendly NPCs of the various kingdoms.

 

[Borp]

Yeah, but apparently both places are the same because both are said to have hosted the original fight with DK. It couldn't happen in two separate locations at the same time...

The blurb in the DKL manual only vaguely alludes to the original DK game. It doesn't say "this is where it happened". It just says it "brings back fond memories".

 

[Koopa con Carne]

Baby Luigi, I know. I wasn't sarcastic or anything.

Borp, well... my headcanon still stands :P

Probably because it got Mario into heroism?

 

[J-Yoshi64]

I think they celebrate it because 1) it was the start of Mario's hero role, and 2) Donkey Kong is now their friend.

 

[Koopa con Carne]

Correct, both of you. Now that I think about it, the song "Jump Up, Super Star" is about Mario, not DK. The festival is therefore in honor of Mario, who started out his career by defeating DK. Cranky Kong must die of envy.

Question answered, thank you.

I.... thought this was obvious.

 

[GmanSir]

Even if we say you can die in the Mario universe, no one really got harmed other than DK. The worse thing that happened was damaging/breaking construction girders.

 

[J-Yoshi64]

The Koopa Troop isn't as innocent as the internet makes them out to be.
