Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

[Dingodile]

Unpopular opinion alert.

I think Yoshi's Island is easily the worst Nintendo platforming series, and yes, even including the SNES Yoshi's Island, I've grown to hate that game (and I actually prefer New Island over it :C)

I like both, New Island is a pretty good game. I feel it got a lot of undeserved hate, nice to see someone who likes it too.

Yoshi's island DS is the best one

Hey, didn't Arlo do a video on this one? :P

Actually, outside of this wiki, I feel like I can count on one hand the number of times I've even seen Yoshi's Island discussed as a series. Like, people will very often speak of the Donkey Kong Country series or the F-Zero series or the Star Fox series or what have you, but then only offhandedly mention one Yoshi game at a time (and often derisively). Makes me wonder if this opinion is more common than it seems. If a series starring Yoshi has failed to hook most anyone, that seems like a bad sign…

To be honest the only time I've seen Yoshi's Island brought up as a series is just part of a broader discussion of how that series revels in mediocrity.

I like the licensed songs in the Mario movie and I hope the sequel uses more

My favorites are No Sleep Til Brooklyn and Holding out for a Hero.

I say Mario & Luigi: Dream Team is the best Mario & Luigi game. It was my first Mario & Luigi game and I have lots of great memories of it. It has the best music and Giant battles to boot!

luigi deprecation humor is actually funny and i'm tired of pretending it's not

the only reason why people dislike it so much is because of the extreme examples from mario & luigi and sm64ds, along with those in the fandom parroting the extreme version being the type of person to make princess daisy chubby because haha fat woman ugly and luigi can only rizz a fat bitch LOLZ

the mario cartoons handled luigi being the butt of the joke perfectly by not having the main cast treat luigi like a total loser all the time along with some of the jokes being kinda wholesomely tied. mama luigi is an excellent example as mama luigi started as a term used to make fun of luigi but grew into a term of endearment. or the episode oh brother where luigi is humorously very mean to mario (i count this as luigi deprecation humor since he's obviously in the wrong) but the episode serves as character growth for him.

luigi is a character designed to be bullied in good taste. make fun of him like how his brother would compared to how an asshole would. it seems both the fandom and canon can't really seem to get this fine line right. but i find myself getting more annoyed at the luigi fanboys who get butthurt at the slightest of luigi mockery lmao- i'll smack him in the face with his own stache in dream team out of spite

Baby Luigi gives him a brutal time in Partners in Time but it's okay because he genuinely loves Luigi and doesn't quite understand that Luigi gets ouchie from hammers.

Mario Odyssey is the best 3D Mario.
