Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

[vizIIsto]

Bowser fights are often not my favorite fights. I prefer bosses like Lakithunder, Ludwig von Koopa, Bouldergeist and Knucklotec to name a few.

 

[Bowser II]

I simultaneously love and hate Bowser Jr. fights. On one hand, I like them because they give more screen time to my favorite character. On the other hand, I'm forced to beat up my favorite character.

Hey it comes with liking a villain. But sometimes beating up a villain can be why we like them right?

 

[Xiahou Ba]

yeah, i like eggman and i like seeing him get defeated

There's just those bosses who are satisfying to kill, basically.

And those you like to see suffer.

Even those who become playable characters so you can you yourself dictate any stupid action they do that leads to their death!

I loved keeping Whomp King alive so he'd continuously smack his face to the floor. That must be painful, even for a stone.

I'd take it a step further, if you care about story then read a book or watch a movie. Video games don't have good stories. Period. Even the most praised video game stories have no depth at all.

Luigi's Mansion 3 is probably one of the best story plots in video games I have found. At least from Nintendo's games it is.

Super Mario Party is a terrible Mario Party game. Star Rush is better.

If the next Paper Mario game doesn't get him right I'm perfectly fine with Bowser never appearing in another Paper Mario game for the rest of the series' existence.

Super Mario Party is a terrible Mario Party game. Star Rush is better.

I don't think it's terrible, it has a lot of steps it took forward (compared to the atrocious board mechanics of Mario Party 9 and 10) and the game is brimming with charm alone just from looking at the animations and how chill the characters are to each other. It's just that it has edges and ripples that need to be ironed out, namely Partner Party and better board design and how everything is too freaking cheap and they hand out coins like candy. I mean, I wanted DLC for Super Mario Party but from the looks of things, we're gonna just get another installment instead.

Mario Party is the Mario series's Dynasty Warriors. They get rehashed a lot and get nearly yearly releases but suckers like me eat it up by the wholes anyway because I love Mario Party.

Fun fact, the guy who directed most of the Mario Party games (Shuchiro Nishiya) is the head of Nd Cube now. Maybe this internal restructuring is why we didn't get a Mario Party this year. I hope we get another one next year.

Oh I like Star Rush a lot too. Coinathlon is really fun. The game does have the same board size issues as Super Mario Party and Balloon Bash still sucks (Partner Party's many problems stem from the fact that it's just Balloon Bash but with two players and that you need to land on a star to get it while).

If the next Paper Mario game doesn't get him right I'm perfectly fine with Bowser never appearing in another Paper Mario game for the rest of the series' existence.

Does this count a remake of Paper Mario on
