post any random Mario thought on your mind

They had very positive relations with each other in Partners in Time.

hell, Baby Luigi adored his time with Luigi so much he didn't want to go back.

I still demand an explanation to why Baby Luigi and Luigi and Baby Mario and Mario have only neutral chemistry to each other.

I probably would have negative chemistry with my baby self due to a general dislike of crying children.

Because Baby Luigi will grow up and eventually do THAT thing. And, that other thing.
 
Recently, I've been thinking about possible alternate universes for Mario. Here are some I thought of. Hope you guys have some cool ideas of your own.

*Genderswapped version. Now that that one's out of the way, on to the real ones I thought of.

*In this first one, Kamek attacked the stork and kidnapped Luigi as normal. However, instead of rescuing Luigi from Kamek, the Yoshies raise Mario as their own, and he grows up to become a Tarzan of some sort. Meanwhile, Kamek raises Luigi to be a dark sorcerer, and he eventually becomes King Koopa (haven't decided what would become of Bowser yet).

I know I said I'd have more than one, but I'm having a lot of fun thinking up this one. Kinda wish I could illustrate so I could make this a web comic.

Bad chemistry:
Wario and Birdo

Reminds me of Wario's Woods, where Birdo and Wario would take turns on the top of the screen. Birdo is beneficial for the player while Wario is dangerous, so I guess in this way, the Wario and Birdo chemistry made sense.

Thanks for reading.

Thank you, now I understand why they don't like each other.

Can someone email this to Nintendo please? It sounds like it would make for a really interesting game. Well, at least as long as the ending doesn't suck when you find out out was all for naught because it was a dream, and...whoever the player's character is wakes up just to find the same old Luigi right next to them. Not in the awkward way, if course.

E: That kinda makes sense too, because in YNI you see Baby Mario remembering Baby Luigi, but according to the real world, babies don't think like that.

E2: (had this all typed up, then lost it >_>) You could also go The Jungle Book route, just replace Mowgli with Mario (alliteration unintended), Shere Khan with Kamek, the rest of the animals with Yoshis, and throw in Luigi and the stork because you kinda have to. Then you have one of two things happen: either Mario rescues Luigi like you can expect from every Yoshi game, or you could make it one of those decisions. Either save Luigi but leave Kamek, or get rid of Kamek for "good" but not save Luigi, who would then side with Bowser and Kamek.. I put "good" in quotes because knowing Bowser, he would just revive Kamek in the next game. Then, after all is said and done, either Mario and Luigi (with his cool new magic powers that he would use for the greater good) return to the Mushroom Kingdom and go save Peach like always, or Mario returns to the Mushroom Kingdom without Luigi, who has now replaced Bowser as the king of the Koopas.
 
Is anyone familiar with random historical/popular figures? This is an excerpt from Dinosaur Dilemma:

[quote author=this is an officially licensed book]Splat! As the mighty Slimosaurs explode, they shower the distinguished Koopa guests with smelly green and yellow dino-goo.

"This is an outrage! screams Gary Koopa. He wipes some of the sticky green goo from his tuxedo.

Mario and Yoshi stay hidden on the floor, behind a pile of empty Slimosaur shells.

"This fortress is definitely hazardous to my health," huffs C. Everett Koopa. "I'm leaving!"

"I'm getting far away from this apocalypse, now!" says Francis Ford Koopola.

"This is the last of the weekends I spend in this place," mutters James Fennimore Koopa. He and the other splattered turtles turn towards the exit.[/quote]

Obviously, these Koopas are a reference to actual people, and their lines are likely references as well. Still, I'm having a bit of trouble matching everything up.

  • Gary Koopa - likely esteemed actor Gary Cooper, although I have no idea if he has a famous line involving "outrage".
  • C. Everett Koopa - C. Everett Koop, 13th Surgeon General of the United States and a vice admiral in the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. His line about health is because he's a doctor, obviously.
  • James Fennimore Koopa - James Fenimore Cooper, prolific author; "the last of the weekends" seems like a reference, but I can't find anything.
  • Francis Ford Koopola - Francis Ford Coppola, the famous director of Apocalypse Now. If you hadn't noticed the pun yet, you may now groan.

Francis Ford Koopola is so on-the-nose that it'd be weird if the other characters' lines weren't similarly references.

On a side note, this book has an absurd amount of ways in which Mario dies in morbid ways, because that's the kind of book meant for the young audience of the Mario series.
