Super Mario Maker is an amazing game and it's so fun to make levels and watch streamers play them blind. Sometimes I'll make bullshit troll levels to see the reactions to each new troll after progress :D
I try not to make run-of-the-mill troll levels though (like tons of Lakitus above and stacked Bowsers). I only have one level like that and it's a parody titled "GOOD LEVEL DESIGN"
Speaking of SMM, I hope a future 2D/3D Mario, Paper Mario, or Mario & Luigi game has a triple-stacked Bowser boss as a reference to it. Story-wise they could say Bowser used two Double Cherries.

Today, I went to a bar/restaurant/arcade called Pints and Pixels. It had all the classic arcade games, including Donkey Kong and Mario Bros. Supposedly, it also had Vs. Super Mario Bros., but it was being rotated with Vs. Duck Hunt, so it wasn't there. I played Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., Q*bert, Frogger, Galaga, Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and Tetris. While I am not old enough to order alcohol, my older brother ordered a drink called Mario's Power-up, which purportedly consisted of rum with cranberry and raspberry. Other drinks included Luigi's Liquid Green, Peach's Cosmopolitan, and Donkey Kong's Banana Barrel. It was cool.

I'll do it in a PM because reasons.

I found these on the Mario Kart 8 page on TV Tropes, and I felt like posting them.

Americans Hate Tingle: Metal Mario, Pink Gold Peach and the baby characters have a pretty big fanbase in Japan, while overseas, they're by and large seen as uninspired clones that steal slots from more deserving characters
Base-Breaking Character: Morton. Thanks to the way weight and acceleration classes interact with one another, Morton is often considered the best character in the game with the right kart set up, often running circles around the competition. While some don't mind, especially with how unnotable the Koopa Kids tend to be from one another in games they show up in, others despise Morton because of it, often citing him as 8's version of Funky Kong.
Memetic Mutation: Morton Kart 8", often referring to how Morton has become 8's version of the infamous "Funky Bike Wii" meme in regards to Funky Kong being the most picked character in Mario Kart Wii.

I actually see Wario quite often online.

Unless Morton has a smaller hitbox than other heavyweights, he is completely the same, so there is not one character clearly above everyone else in Mario Kart 8, unlike Funky Kong who had the best speed.

Seeing as Bowser, Wario, Morton, and Dry Bowser have the exact same stats in Mario Kart 8, it's completely stupid to claim that Morton is the best character when you can have the exact same kind of success with the other three fastest characters. And it should also be noted that all four of those characters have the same body frame size.

My theory is that Morton is the most popular of the fastest heavyweights, hence why he's claimed by TV Tropes to be used so often. I also found this:
[quote author=Video Games / Americans Hate Tingle]
Trope Namer: The hate of Tingle has also carried over into the Super Smash Bros. games:
Tingle has a cameo in Melee, in which it is quite possible to drop him into the ocean. It is not uncommon for players to declare a brief truce for this purpose.
Sakurai himself has openly acknowledged the American fanbase's hatred for him as a reason why he won't be a playable character.
Super Mario Bros.:
Waluigi. In America, Waluigi is a Base-Breaking Character who pends between Scrappy and Darkhorse often. In Japan, he is more generally liked, to the point that some Japanese gamers were upset about Waluigi's disappearance in Mario Kart 7 (though this isn't unique as his Western fans were similarly upset).
Metal Mario. Americans think he's a worthless and unoriginal Mario clone, while Japanese players love giving him Alternative Character Interpretation, playing as him in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8, and treating him as The Rival to Mario. It's also the case in Mario Kart 8 with Pink Gold Peach (a completely new addition that left a lot of American and European players dumbfounded).
Paper Mario: Sticker Star is the best-selling game in the Paper Mario series in Japan and is very popular over there. Now ask the American Paper Mario fanbase about it....or better yet, don't.
