Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

I can tell I'm going to learn a lot about Mario being on these forums, things I didn't even consider to exist.
Is everything you listed have english adaptations? -hopeful-

I guess the German stuff has English translations. I remember there's a plot involving Mario crossdressing and everyone (including Star Fox) speaks in rhymes, which drives Mario crazy. But some other plots are that language. There's another plot that involves dolphins living inside Yoshi's stomach and they believe cows don't exist. And there's one where Bowser uses hair dryers to try to melt Antarctica.

They're not going to use the older, contemporary designs from the 1990's for practically any character. In the original Paper Mario, cribbed off designs for Koopa Troopas, Goombas, Boos, etc. from their contemporary games such as Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island. Dunno where they got the Buzzy Beetle design from though.

Perhaps. Many designs from Paper Mario are hardly unique to Paper Mario as it is just designs from contemporary games, particularly Yoshi's Island. After all, we have a few enemies that were from Yoshi's Island: Bandits, Mousers, Crayzee Dayzees, BUMPTIES, Spear Guy, Goonie (cameo) Lantern Ghost (Nep-Enut was planned), which wouldn't be surprising that they took Goomba, Paratroopa (long slender wings though only in the first game), and Boo designs from Yoshi's Island.

I give you that the Koopas in shades and Clubbas are their own, though.

But this doesn't have to mean they can't go back to those designs. I just don't see it very likely.
 
Well the Clubbas aren't entirely their own, they are clearly based off the spike enemies, just instead of throwing spiked balls they put them on sticks.
 
But the designs are noticeably different, as how Goombas, Boos, Buzzy Beetles (to an extent) and Paratroopas are derived from an existing design. Clubbas have black eyes, white bellies, and have more defined, dinosaur-like bodies. Yoshi's Island, however, has adopted the black eyes and white bellies though but can't say for the body since the sprite is so scrunched, and I don't know what the artwork of Spike looks like.

The old Paper Mario Buzzy Beetles look kinda like the Para Buzzy Beetles, though the weird toenail things are all their own.

Actually just found out, even that's not Paper Mario's idea originally, was in Super Mario World first.

Welp, there you go.
 
Those are the eyes that know true suffering.
