Clever Ideas in the MarioVerse

[Garlic Man]

Ideas that just show how creative and clever Nintendo is with their games.

These could be anything from characters, items, games, series, anything.


Paper Mario. The whole concept of it. Whoda thunk.

 

[Jesus Freak]

Mario Party.

Also, Super Smash Bros.

A plumber traveling through pipes. It makes no sense, but it's clever.

I once read this NSMBW interview where they talked about how they set up Level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros. It was very clever.

I'll see if I can find it again.

Nintendo just likes to Recycle...

... Although they have their own landfill of guys like Wart and Kiddy Kong.

I thought the WarioWare series was clever.

 

[Aiko Heiwa]

Also, Super Smash Bros.

Not part of the Marioverse, created by Mashiro Sakurai, who created Kirby.

Mario Kart.

Speaking of clever ideas, Donkey Kong Country created the mine cart gimmick.

Mario Party. Now that I think of it, there really weren't many prominent board-game video games out there.

Monopoly for the Gameboy. Fuck yeah.

 

[Garlic Man]

Not original enough. oO

But that game was awesome.
