The Mario appreciation thread.

[LeftyGreenMario]

Too varied characterization, probably.

I'm amazed they even let him say "Open Salami".

THE STATUS QUO STANDS.

Really, he did say "Open Salami" at some point in Sunshine?

 

[Lin Beifong]

IIRC it is one of the things he can say when you enter one of the levels that have you go through a splotch of paint.

 

[Mcmadness]

Well open salami is clearly a reference to open sesame but for the most part there isn't a whole lot of things he actually opens in that game.

The rest well shit I don't know.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

My question remains: why not use some of those quotes? As stated before, they're simply gold, and it instantly gives Mario more color to his character.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Maybe because they're too stupid to return. (I'm thinking Toasters)

 

[Lin Beifong]

Are you implying that these lines are anywhere near as stupid as the toasters line?

“so long king Bowser!”

 

[Magikrazy]

I always hear "so long gay bowser"

You and everyone else on the internet.

I was too young to know what gay meant when I first heard that so I assumed it was a word I couldn't understand and heard it as "So long, *something* Bowser!"

Just like many popular songs that I couldn't understand the words of.

Well Mario isn't actually saying gay, its just a joke everyone makes.

And me. High five.

 

[yoshiking14x]

He said it to Luigi in Hotel Mario or did he said “hey”?

His voice in this game was rather unexpected for me to hear him like that.Yes I know it was before his current voice actor.

His quote was "Nice of the princess to invite us over for a picnic, eh Luigi?"

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

The "gay" thing isn't funny and feels really forced.

 

[Mcmadness]

Anyone else amused by the fact that Captain Olimar, a character named after Mario, ultimately has a more defined character and personality than the guy he is named after?

I thought Olimar was pretty much a blank slate, but I've played only Brawl and seen some of Pikmin 2.

 

[Mcmadness]

Oh no. Olimar has a very defined character. In fact I'd argue he's one of the most defined of all Nintendo's protagonist characters.

This is from his first game alone even.

I still see Mario as a 3 dimensional character wether if he is underdeveloped or not.

Dude being three dimensional is being a developed character. It's not subjective

Indeed, there is a reason I made the amusing comparison to Olimar.

I think it's unfortunate. Very, very unfortunate. Not giving Mario a talking voice is like leaving a loved one in a coma or something. No, that's too exaggerated, but I hope you know what I mean.

Yes, just like a unused opportunity.
