post any random Mario thought on your mind

So did Tomato Adventure, yet it's barely mentioned at all, even in Japan it's not exactly a huge hit.

Maybe it's not mentioned in English-speaking areas because it wasn't available in English-speaking areas? And perhaps it didn't gain traction in Japan because it was poorly advertised or it was overshadowed by other games or any number of reasons. Or maybe it has; it could be wildly popular on all of the Japanese message boards, and the majority of us wouldn't even be aware of it.
 
Or maybe they managed to improve on the formula with Superstar Saga. Or maybe not, you could be completely right, Mcmadness.

It has charming characters and charming locations and and all-around charm to it. Superstar Saga wasn't even in the Mushroom Kingdom, saying that its success was entirely due to its name brand is unjust.

I didn't like the characters and the locations were just Mushroom Kingdom in a different paint. Grass? Desert? Underground Jungle? Mountains? Ice? Lava? Starting place IS a purple wasteland and there is a dungeon/university there but otherwise it's not that much different.

There are laughing motifs but I always found them more stupid than "awwww, how cute and/or clever". Take a location, put "HurrHurr" before a geographic location and add some legumes sticking out of walls. BAM, you got a BeanBean location. What the hell does laughter have to do with legumes?

A lot of BeanBean characters are just ugly IMO like the HooHoos, Popple, Jojora (who I want to punch in the face), Boddle (yeah, who remembers that guy), Blubbles, Boddle's Assistant, Harhall, Oho Jees, Hoohooros, Sworms, and so on.

Charm would be like Mario + Rabbids IMO. Superstar Saga had some colorful character expressions from the Mario characters but beyond that, eh...

It isn't popular in Japan, it is being overshadowed, thats my point, it lacks the Mario branding so on a handheld that is chock full of rpgs it goes ignored.

There's a fart joke in here somewhere.

Austin Powers is overrated

That is my random thought

The point of this thread is that the random thoughts have to be Mario-related. Admittedly, the thread title doesn't really make that obvious, but the first post does.
 
Harhall is amazing and generously gives up his pants in exchange for shirt designs.

I attribute some of the uglier characters in Superstar Saga to attempts at relatively complicated designs in small sprites and trust they'll look much better in the remake (though probably less expressive unfortunately) I'd say Bowser's overworld sprite is worse than anything else in Superstar Saga. Even the sprites of his variations (Rookie and Bowletta) look a bit better.
 
I thought Harhall was a woman. The minigame was fun but it's unfortunate you can play it only a limited amount of times.

Bowser's overworld sprite does stink in Superstar Saga. Looks so derpy.

I'm sure Luigi thought the same of Peasley until he found out the Beanish was a prince.
