post any random Mario thought on your mind

I prefer their modern design since you generally only find them underground and the red eyes helps lend to their nocturnalness.

In regards to Buzzy Beetles, I would think that their immunity to fireballs would mean that they would be more common to find at volcanic areas as well.
 
I like the Paper Mario versions of Buzzy Beetle more too, but I think they ultimately originated from our Para Buzzy-Beetles and the cute Buzzy Beetles also made an appearance in that Slot Trot minigame.

Very similar-looking, eh?
Heh, no wonder Paper Mario got redesigned. (The Thousand-Year Door was initially released two months after Mario VS Donkey Kong
 
TBH I never even knew Minis had a voice or if they did, it surprised me how organic they sounded. I always thought they were mechanical and made toy noises, never sounded literally like a tiny Mario.

I think they've had the squeaky-toy voice since the first game on the GBA.
 
Yeah, I've played Mayro vs. Kondey Kong in the GBA and I heard their voice there. It's been the same throughout, but the voice caught me off-guard.

I've always found the voice cute. Hard to believe their voice (Along with Baby Mario's) was done by Charles Martinet, otherwise the voice clips might have been raised in pitch through audio editing software.

Fun Fact: All of the Minis were voiced by the respective voice actors for the characters they were based on, according to the wiki.
 
Don't get me wrong, I find them cute and funny, and I love their lines like "I love-a you" and something about chocolate. Very endearing. I just didn't realize they'd have a voice and that they'd sound exactly like a high-pitched Mario. So when I rescued one in the GBA game, I heard the "Whoopee! Hee hee hee hee" and I had to laugh, even though it caught me off-guard.
 
Mario vs Donkey Kong having that much voice acting surprised me when I first played it. I would say it's a pleasant surprise, because I love Mario's ramblings and mumblings. Another thing that surprised me was that the cutscenes are like quick snapshots of what's going on, instead of FMV-like cinematics. I understood why they didn't have them until the DS games, but it was a bit disappointing to find that out. Oh well, the funny scenes more than made up for it!

My favourite Mario speech from that game is when he said odd gibberish, something like "Oh, you mah-monkey, you bla-bla-bla-bla-rur-rato..." (I have no idea what he said here)

Thank you for reading.
