2001: A Mario Odyssey

[Vommack]

Now it somewhat makes sense why TV Tropes has an article named "Killer Rabbit".

I'm pretty sure that's a reference to this sketch

Oh, and I don't like how the female one has to be the "pretty" one. I thought we're past this shit, Nintendo.

Don't exactly see how the girl rabbit is "pretty". And saying you're "done with this shit" implies this is a huge problem with Mario games but I honestly can't think of many female Mario characters I'd consider "pretty" besides Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, Pauline and Captain Syrup, and that drops down to just the latter when we're only talking female villains. Even then, none of these characters feel like they're only there for eye candy.

im not going to shit myself over gender politics in a mario game

I won't either unless it includes Birdo and sometimes Vivian.

Not that I disagree with your point, but those five essentially make up the main female characters in the Mario series (besides, what, Toadette? Dixie? Bow?).

Why is this thread called 2001: A Mario Odyssey?

Cause cool references are cool.

In reference to a dumb movie

Well not Pauline and Captain Syrup, but yeah the other three are the most prominent female characters, along with Toadette, Birdo, and Wendy.

I think Pauline's still a major player in the MvDK series, but you're right that she's basically nonexistent in the main series.

I remember seeing somewhere that there was a "Squawks" reference in New Donk City: can anyone tell me where to spot that?
