Wow, not a single character we didn't already know about, yet they still had a "characters" section just to mess with us.

it resets Mario's position backwards every time he crosses a certain point, but does it in a way that it looks seamless.

On the contrary I find it mediocre at *worst,* and people grossly overexaggerate its negatives while downplaying its positives. It does a lot more right than wrong in my opinion. There is not enough appreciation for all the things that SPM was the last game to have, everyone always only looks at...

I mean, these are all characters they had to model for the track hazards anyway so I'd argue they're not wastes of significant development time.

I don't understand the notion that the enemy/species inclusions are worse than the babies and metals. Their designs are wholly their own, not iterative on that of another character already on the roster. That alone gives them more merit than Pink Gold Peach, Baby Daisy/Rosalina, and Tanooki...

Out of these, I'd pair Waluigi with Rosalina, Prince Haru with Spike, and Mona with Mary O. I thought about commenting earlier but I didn't quite know how to express how i felt about the way this is structured. Eventually decided to just make two of my picks intentionally go against that structure.

It's hard for me to define a single favorite year, but contenders are 2007- Super Paper Mario is my favorite game of all time, Super Mario Galaxy is peak & still a contender for my favorite 3D Mario, Mario Party 8 & DS were the last hurrah of Hudson's Mario Party and the last traditionally...

To be fair I want this just as strongly as I want RPGs to embrace their original characters. I hate the idea that they have to be thinking about this character being immediately abandoned when creating them. I'd rather them instead be allowed to think about potential future appearances when...

Ooh this gives me the idea to try and craft the party of a story I've had bouncing around in my head for a while. I'm aware this is something Nintendo would never actually do, but I did try to keep the baseline world, prior to my additions & developments, accurate to the canon one. That said I...

I grew up playing SpongeBob on the GBA. My first video game (and the reason I got my GBA to begin with) was Supersponge, and my childhood is filled with memories of it, Revenge of the Flying Dutchman, Battle for Bikini Bottom and the Movie game. The latter 2 have gotten some degree of...

Personally I use Photoshop on my PC, and make heavy usage of layers. Each character is on two different layers, one behind the template and one in front, with the relevant parts of the layer in front masked out to make them look as if they're coming out of the template. When it comes to mobile...

I'd also like to point out that Mario Kart 8 was $60 on its 2014 release. $60 in 2014 calculates to $81.50 today. This game is no more expensive than 8 was when it launched. On top of that it blows 8 out of the water in terms of content. Nintendo keeping their prices at 60 into the Switch era...

I won't pretend I know how game dev budgets work, but this looks like an ambitious project, I don't think a single major asset here is reused. There's even retro tracks here that HAVE made recent appearances and yet they're still completely rebuilt from scratch. Plus the whole "you can...
