    Normally I don't like Mario and drugs joke but this headline + image combination is just hilariously asking for context removal, didn't even believe it, thought it was some miscaptioned image

    it's not
    Luigi's Mansion spoilers
    Mario has apparently left a sword in his toilet and he also somehow packed a floor gem in his suitcase. He also has slippers in his room and that's cute but his room is long looted by Luigi.

    Also those Luigi posters are hilarious to us. Every time we see it, we go, "Have you seen this man!?" As if Luigi is a lost person. It's kinda like how we called those Bowser posters in Odyssey Trump campaign posters.
    Modding in Musician Mario into Mario Kart 8 Deluxe feels glorious.Thanks Nintendo.

    I really don't have room to put other Marios. I like Tanooki Mario and Metal Mario too much. Other characters don't fit Mario, and the closest character to Mario's build would be Yoshi, though I plan on replacing that with Rayman. Even if Mario can replace em without animation problems and without replacing characters I already like (Toad, Luigi, Dry Bones), a lot of characters are too hilarious and great to replace (Daisy, Toadette, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Rosalina) and several have to be funny Blue Team fodder (Wario, Donkey Kong, Waluigi). Dry Bowser is funny as well as Shy Guy but probably not must haves like the aforementioned. Cat Peach we are also planning on replacing too, not going to be a Mario, though.

    My sister has already replaced Lemmy, Larry, Bowser Jr. (Had no choice), Baby Rosalina, Lakitu, Isabelle. Koopa is also replaced in favor of Kirby. Roy was nixed for Mr. Krabs and Morton was removed for Homer Simpson.

    But on a good note, I *did* replace male Villager with Paper Mario.

    @winstein I thank Nintendo for the model they made for Mario Kart Tour. It seemed to be low poly enough to comfortably fit in the range of Mario Kart 8 Mario's polycount.

    I attempted some sarcasm, though, since I find Mario Kart Tour to be ethically objectionable as well as Nintendo's documented hostility to modding games.
    Possible Mystery Dungeon spoilers?

    Unpopular brain nugget: I think Grovyle from Pokemon Explorers of Time and Darkness had a counterproductive plan hat endangered the world with his disguise act, and to be honest, I felt no regrets or sadness when his fate eventually befell it as much as that game wanted me to feel something. Maybe I'm cold as a time-frozen rock, but I really didn't care for the ending as others did.

    I have to say, I'm not impressed at the story of any of these games. First one was fairly simple and sweet, but didn't like the ending where the playable human just willingly sacrifices past memories prior to turning into a Pokémon to "purify" the heart (from recent reviewing of plot) Super's story, on the other hand, just had too much going on: I didn't like the Tree of Life, the Darkness as a character, and I didn't like that they, again, put the world at stake.
    How was Wario able to build his own stadium in Baseball Kingdom when it's clearly owned by Peach? How did he get the contract, who let him build it? Is Baseball Kingdom a sovereign country even?

    The Baseball Kingdom is corrupt and will do anything for money.

    Hmm, any confirmation that the building in Wario's City is a casino? It would make a lot of sense since it'll provide good revenue for the kingdom.

    I'm betting Baseball Kingdom is a corporate tax haven.

    According to the card, it "boasts the liveliest nightlife of all the stadiums in Baseball Kingdom". There may be profit to gain from that depending on how popular the kingdom is.
    I looked up reasons people hate Mario and the reasons almost mirror word-to-word the most common and lazy "jokes" about Mario. i.e. "he promotes drug abuse", "he abuses animals", "he chases women without being interested in them". Oh, and mixed in with fat shaming and maybe moaning about his annoying voice and stereotypical accent? So I'm glad I'm not in good company.

    I agree that Mario being the way he is is the reason I like him. I mean, most of the time human mascots have an idealised image. Mario doesn't really fit that mould of one but the fact that he's super popular and one of the most enduring characters is a huge blessing. I think Mario goes hand-in-hand with video games mainly because his design have its roots in video games, making him pretty unique compared to many characters.

    Thank you for reading.

    I've seen people hate him for being a "lazy hero that can't protect his girlfriend whenever she needs protection". Like really, it's not his fault at all that Peach gets kidnapped. He has a life you know so he can't be realistically with her all the time. Mario is still the king of video games no matter how much people like other characters other than him. He's the Mickey Mouse of games as Miyamoto said. I mean yeah some people say Pac-Man is the king first but Mario has more games than Pacman post crash so he is the king of games. I am honestly neutral with him.

    The follow-up question is: why doesn't King Boo target Luigi first? Why is Mario is the primary captive of desire rather than the one who thwarted him?

    luigi is less likely to go there first and on his own. get mario, use him to force luigi to confront him, get luigi

    I thought it was that King Boo did want both, but Mario arrived first way before Luigi since Luigi got lost in the woods. So King Boo just grabbed Mario and then waited for Luigi but E Gadd thwarted the initial capture and Luigi escaped.

    In one of PatMac's videos, he advocated for bootleg merchandise, as long as it's for characters that are never going to see officially licensed products. One such example he used is King Koopa from the Mario cartoons, which will never be acknowledged due to his unfamiliar design from the normal Bowser. (Personally speaking, I am fond of King Koopa's design myself)

    I suppose that, since it's not an official licensed product, it will not be as easy to come by since online's the only best place to get it, and thus, an official version is preferred.

    I think it's pretty unfair to call it a "bootleg" since it implies they're directly ripping off existing products. Unlicensed toys is how I roll with these. And I'm fine with them because they fill a market space that the official stuff fail to cover. I like the well-done unlicensed products and I don't think they degrade the value that direct ripoffs do.

    Still, you probably should be leery of unlicensed stuff because they can contain hazardous material. This is because they're not subject to the same quality checks that licensed products are.
    I wonder why in Super Mario Sunshine Peach didn't just threaten Isle Delfino with harsh sanctions or something for an unfair arrest coupled with an unfair trial that entailed in a national security threat for Mushroom Kingdom and why there wasn't some huge media circus around that trial given Mario's celeb status in Mushroom Kingdom.

    It also has succulent seafood so I guess it's worth spending a night in prison and cleaning up the toxic chemical waste dump just to get a taste of it.

    Mario seems to be most interested in the taste of Isle Delfino's take in san-nakji. It's why he'd go through the lengths to tussle with Gooper Blooper.

    It's also possible that the Pianta government was simply too inept to understand the threat of trade sanctions, since their idea of trade appears to be "give produce away with no compensation" if the Delfino Plaza marketplace is any indication.

    I mean, it's possible that food merchants are tasked to provide for the community and are then compensated by the government through tax money or something, but that's probably not a model you want to establish at an allegedly popular tourism hub, since tourists pay no taxes.

    Then again, there's that one guy who pretty much pays you for smashing his crates (which he presumably then has to replace out of his own pocket) just for the hell of it, so maybe they're all just kind of stupid.
    I'm modding another Mario into GTA V and about to make him some sort of gangster and I just wonder if it's a lovely idea to try to put in that tribal tattoo on him for the laffs.

    Just using Mario Tennis Ultra Smash skin like I usually do and recoloring the arms to make them skin. He's going to wear a vest in one version. Another version is him wearing a black hoodie with long sleeves. So I can probably do the tatoo textures for the vest one.

    Pelicans are the most evil birds in the planet.

    Crows can be evil but they're ridiculously brainy and smart animals, and they have a strong sense of family and community. I think people don't like crows because of how clever they are and prone to mischief and their coloration as well as the sounds they make, which is a shame, because much of their contempt is undeserved.

    Ravens are the epitome of purely evil animals. This one completely broke this man's spirit.

    But crows and ravens reward you massively if you have the resources, time, and infinite patience to handle them with love and care

    Pelicans though... NO.

    It's a shame Nintendo isn't promoting amiibo as much anymore since the mold quality in the recent amiibo is so much better than in the first wave of amiibo.

    Also this baby looks amazing, make this Odyssey DLC you twits.

    My dad just freaking called my mom a psychopath and an abuser. Saying that she just plays in her tablet all day while chores are not done while he works. I was pleading him to calm down but he says, "don't tell me what to do".

    Sure my mom was complaining about finances and food, usual dreary crap, but my dad's reaction is out of line, juvenile, vile, inappropriate, vicious, toxic, and false. People failing to do chores is a problem that requires civility and respect in order to address and solve it, not psychological destruction that comes with long-term consequences. I don't expect him to apologize for this even though this behavior is absolutely unacceptable especially in light of a mere infraction.

    He might be a "real" dad as in he genuinely cares about my future prospect, teaches me things, and has strong morals, but his emotional side of things is terrible. Both him and negligent parents do a lot of harm to kids.
    I should probably take a new picture of my Mario plushies (and a lot of Pokemon now) overcrowding the bed again.
    What do you think of the idea of playable Mario in a Luigi's Mansion game? Feels like the state of playability is one-sided: every Mario series eventually get Luigi to be playable such as Dr. Mario and Super Mario Maker, but Luigi's games are (as far as I know) yet to put Mario as a playable character. Is Mario too big that making him have the same role as Luigi makes the latter redundant?

    nintendo's choices as to what characters get to be playable have always seemed really weird to me. i get that they have some weird internal brand purity thing where they don't want "spin-off characters" like wario or waluigi in "main games" but, did nsmbwii really need two toads? i mean i guess peach got kidnapped but, the plot of mario games is literally 100% superfluous so there's no reason they couldn't have just made it different and made peach playable. it's the same thing in luigi's mansion. why do you play as four luigis instead of luigi, mario, etc? or even original characters from luigi's mansion like e. gadd. nintendo works in mysterious ways. also add ashley to smash

    If the recent Mario 2D platformers are to go by, future games would likely have the second Toad be replaced with Toadette, which is a bit better than a second Toad. That would be good as long as Toadette does not have additional advantages over the other characters. At the very least it shows that first appearing in spin-offs isn't some dead end that some people like to believe (even if it's a very big exception to the norm).

    But yeah, Mario doesn't usually have identical clone playable characters (even in the first Mario Bros., Luigi is treated as an individual rather than a clone despite looking and playing like one). Luigi's Mansion? None of the extraneous Luigis are called anything else but "Luigi" as far as I know. It's so weird that Luigi's Mansion gave Luigi identical clones that they might as well have a "Luigi (species)" article for the sake of that.

    Thank you for reading.

    Heck why don't they just let you choose from a large roster of characters to tango against Bowser, Mario Party style? Story or lore isn't that important, character development is negligible, there has been no character quirks that developers have to worry about balancing or adjusting level design to accommodate? Modeling characters for a low-res/low poly game isn't all that hard even if you accommodate for powerup suits, and it's not like Nintendo has to make new HD renders for all of them since they just don't in the recent games. They can just use Peachette, Pink Gold Peach, Baby Rosalina, the Sprixie Princesses, or even just another Peach ala Luigi in Galaxy to make up for playable Peach.

    The four Luigi in Scarescraper was excusable in 3DS since they actually planned Mario, Peach, and Toad and didn't want to compromise on the download play multiplayer, but I'm not sure how difficult it will be for them to have goo forms of Peach, Mario, and Toad, doesn't seem difficult to me.
