Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

My unpopular opinion is that Woody is the most compelling and deepest Mario franchise character and nothing will change my opinion on that.

-sells minigames
-inexplicably has his own evil counterpart Mean Woody, who lives in Woody's Woods near Woody
-Has committed several war crimes from the year 1955 to 1975
 
the only chapter I disliked in SPM was the heaven chapter. But that's because I kept getting lost and it was way too huge for its own good. I kept having moments of "Okay how far back do I have to go this time?" and it was really frustrating.
Imo Ch6 was worse but yeah I get you. Personally I own a guide now so it's not so bad anymore.
 
The best chapter of SPM is the epilogue.

Because then I can stop playing.
 
The epilogue was very beautiful though.

I used "Proof of Existence" on the last slide of a presentation I gave last year and the atmosphere was just perfect because that's how it was composed to be. A joyous ending to a long adventure, an emotional goodbye, and a hope for a positive future.
 
Which would have meant something to be me if I had actually enjoyed the adventure and not seen that kind of stuff hundreds of times before in better games.
 
Can we all just agree Bowser acted too stupidly in this game and was not as awesome as he usually is?
 
Do you mean SPM? No way, he was awesome!

  • "But... But I'm Bowser! I'm grade-A, 100% prime-cut final boss! I'm going to take over the world any day now! No way am I helping Mario! He's always trashing my awesome plans."
  • "NO! I'M NOT SWEET! And I'm not helping Mario just to save a bunch of worlds. I'm only doing it so I can rule someday. So don't get all cuddly with me, Mario!"
  • "Count Bleck, Floro Sapiens, whatever... Stomping fools is my business! Show me a fool, and I'll stomp it! I don't even need a reason!"
  • "Who are you supposed to be, Mr. Frilly Pants? You gonna tie me a balloon animal?"
  • "Think you can dent a shell as burly as THIS, pretty boy? Let those Cragnons go!"
  • "Are we gonna group-hug? Enough pep talk, gramps! I'm doing this for ME!"
  • "Hey! Shut yon trap, fluffy! You're talking about the WIFE of Lord Bowser!"
  • "I've had egg-salad-sandwiches chunkier than this guy."
  • "Hey, Super Stupid Bros.! Get the princess into the next room NOW!"
  • "Bwa ha! Did I look worried? Shadoo, boo-hoo, whatever. What a total waste of time!"

 
I liked the part where Mario was blankly staring.
 
I like that Bowser more than the rampaging animal in Sticker Star and the NSMB series.

How can you NOT like Bowser getting his skin melted off?
