Anybody else curious as to what the kids these days think of Mario?

yeah around here they like Mario and his stuff very much.

However they remain ignorant about the existence of the better games such as the ones in the N64 and GCN , and characters such as Rosalina , Fawful , Funky Kong , and etc remain obscure and unknown.

My mom and many kids around always calls Rosalina , ''Peach'' , and i don't blame her at all because well ... Duh ... but come on...
 
Reminds me of how my parents still think I'm a staunch Luigi fanatic >___>

It's been like what, nearly 10 years ago since Baby Luigi became my favorite character?

I doubt that's the case now at least for her. Rosalina being in practically everything recent. Especially Smash.
 
Yeah , that kinda helps , but with Rosalina striking resemblance to Peach , it is impossible that at least 1 person doesn't go and call Rosalina ''Peach'', specially when the later is universally known since more than a decade.

This prevents some people to tell Rosalina apart sometimes , as the individual character she is since day 1.

Even Daisy has a point since , while she debuted as a tanned red haired Peach , Daisy was VERY QUICK to change her appearence righ after MP3 so she remains very recognizable ; Which is not the case of Rosalina considering there's no way she would go into a transformation , as she doesnt need it , but still resembles Peach greatly ( and she is meant to resemble her) , even more than Daisy did as Daisy's facial features were indeed different than Peach in the actual N64 renders of the games and so on , unlike their in-game appearences.

Hopefully , Rosalina makes yet another appearence in a main game to kill this buzz 100%
 
I wonder if, because of his appearance in the ending ceremony of the Rio Olympic games, the awareness of Mario have increased.

Thanks for reading.

Probably not, pretty much everyone knows who Mario is. The people that don't would probably be the older ones who grew up when video games weren't big or didn't have kids who have Mario games.

Most people my age still think Mario is fun, they just don't play play it as much because it's aimed a younger kids and they prefer games based for more mature people like shooters.

The younger kids that I know still like Mario Kart but most kids nowdays play on an iPad or something.
 
Ah, little kids aren't interested in Mario around here anymore ;-;

Most of them like GTA or the like >.> or don't play video games at all. When did my country's children go wrong?

This is relevant, methink.
 
The only opinion of kids I know is my 11 year old brother. He thinks it's lame and for babies. Then I told him that I still play Mario and he's like "you're lame and a baby." Also he told me my taste in video games sucked.
 
Charming.
