MarioWiki Poll Discussion

I mean yeah but he got added at a late date and received no alts!
 
Option 4 for me. Nintendo hasn't really used Mario in an interesting way on mobile, it's just gameplay that already exists on console being adapted to mobile (and also took a whole one game before they resorted to creating gachafests). I'm not too into mobile gaming, so if they're not going to be doing anything interesting with it and using predatory business models on top of it, then I'd just prefer they stick to developing for their own hardware. I'm not necessarily against them branching out to other systems but it's not something I'm personally interested in seeing.
 
I don't think it's the poll's intention, but the vibe of the latest question is to me, asking for a Super Mario platformer, since I associate Super Mario with the platformer series of games considering that every Mario series don't use Super as the standard (Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Paper Mario for example, yes even Dr. Mario is not Dr. Super Mario). If that is the case, I didn't really have an opinion because Super Mario Run is still doing fine.

Not to mention how the question is saying Mario game ("Since Mario Kart Tour will no longer have new content added, no Mario mobile games"), and then the answers list them as "Super Mario" after that (e.g.: "I would like to see Nintendo create a new Super Mario game for mobile devices, as long as it doesn't have gacha mechanics.").

Anyway, if it's another Mario game that's NOT a Super Mario platformer, I would like to see how they would design them. Every Mario game on mobile did well to differentiate from their standard console offerings. So like I wonder how a Mario Party mobile game would've worked.

(On that note, I answered the "no opinion" on the poll on the assumption on a Super Mario game being the platformer series)

Thank you for reading.
 
New poll who dis

Guess I'll wait for someone else to put up the big post with the all the options but I'll share my opinions anyway, so

How would you feel about a sequel or spin-off to The Super Mario Bros. Movie?
  • I would greatly enjoy either a sequel or spin-off.
Like I've said, the first movie gave a great platform to build more media off of, and aside from a sequel, some spin-off content would be cool too, like a tv show. I'd say they should go all out on stuff based on the Mario Movie.
 
How often do you encounter direct advertisements (e.g., a tv commercial or promo e-mail) for the Mario franchise?
  • Very often, on average multiple times a week.
  • Often, on average at least once a week.
  • Somewhat often, on average at least once every couple of weeks.
  • Somewhat rarely, on average once every month or two.
  • Rarely, on average less than once every couple months.
  • Almost never, a couple times a year or less on average.
One more poll before we say hello to the Fourteenth Poll Committee, courtesy of @Temenos Mistral! (Don't forget to vote in the Poll Committee Chairperson Election if you haven't!)

Option 6 for me. I pretty much never see Mario ads, most recently was probably promotion for the movie when it was about to come out and that was the most I'd seen in a while.
 
For me I'd say option 3. The main reason for this is that I'm signed up for promo emails from Nintendo. I also see YouTube ads for Mario once in a while, as well as other website ads, but I've almost never seen a TV ad for Mario. Nintendo doesn't seem to be into mainstream advertising that much.
 
I personally believe that unless I directly go out of my way to view advertisements for Nintendo products (such as those posted on their official Youtube channel or those seen in compliations for older ones), I don't often see Mario commercials on TV, Youtube Ads, etc. I also don't see the games advertised in print media unless it's Black Friday or close to Christmas (unless you count ones dedicated to gaming like Nintendo Power.)

Maybe this happens more in Kid-Centric magazines/channels, but when I viewed them in the past, they usually had adverts for toys, movie releases, cereal, the official website, junk-food, books, sweepstakes, and other stuff. When Video Games were advertised, it was either the system itself, games that were unrelated to Mario, or a generic advertisement that might've had a clip of Mario squeezed in.

So from my personal experience, I'd have to go with Option 6. While some of the ads are very memorable, the fact that I encountered most of them well after their initial run shows how little Nintendo products get advertised these days compared to what it might've looked like in earlier times.

P. S. I did see a lot more adverts leading up to the release of the Mario movie last year (including when I saw it in theaters) but this is talking from a more general viewpoint.
 
I'd say very often? I've been seeing lots of Mario ads and tv commercials, especially of the most recent game, Mario vs. Donkey Kong for the Nintendo Switch.
