As others have already said, Wario, Yoshi, and Donkey Kong are Mario characters. Their games fall under the Mario umbrella. Donkey Kong and Mario originated in the same game. Yoshi's games are full of Mario enemies, heavily involve the Mario cast as babies (in addition to the Yoshis and Kamek)...
I have absolutely no concern about Daisy possibly being cut. She's basically a lock for Mario spinoffs in the past decade, I can't think of one that didn't have her. I think there's no reason to panic about her, but given her passionate fanbase I'm not surprised at all.
I don't like how they...
Honestly I don't mind the way the tracks look. They succeed in fitting the Mario aesthetic, even if there's a clear difference in level of detail. I'm more concerned that they didn't take the very obvious opportunity to bring over some of the characters too. I know a lot of them are just...
I'd want a non-Koopa Troop existing villain to be given a revival for the role whenever Bowser becomes playable. It doesn't make sense for Bowser's minions to antagonize him, and while the flavor text they gave Kamek for the occasion is nice, I think that they really need to consider villains...
This so much. Why does the "aesthetic" of traditional gambling carry more concern and need for high age ratings than an actual gambling model for a game? SM64DS just has fun minigames that sometimes have a gambling theme, but no real currency is used so it's just for fun? THINK OF THE CHILDREN...
Super Mario 64 (both versions), Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario World. If counting spinoffs then Mario Kart DS, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
Weirdly I have a bit of nostalgic feeling for Super Mario Maker 1 even though in the...
I'm in the "use more deep cuts from the extended Mario universe" boat, Nintendo Kart would only sacrifice any sort of representation beyond the surface level for Mario and it wouldn't bring it for any other franchises either. I'd rather have a good, well-rooted and fleshed out Mario roster than...
Why does every non-mainline villain that experiences any particularly flashy defeat animation die from it, while the same thing happens with Bowser & his minions and they're perfectly fine ten minutes later
honestly, I lack confidence about doing commissions so I usually decline on that note (don't want someone paying for something that isn't satisfactory). It's possible I don't reply right away if I see the message while out and about, then forget about it. It happens with every kind of message...
My main gripe with modern PM was always, and continues to be, the unnecessary shackles they put on the character design. It's absolutely not because "it's not the first 2 games" given the THIRD game is my favorite, with its predecessors being my second and third favorites. Origami King managed...
I guess Luigi is overrated too, but I'm very much one of the people making him overrated lol. I love him, he's always adorable with his antics and the more brotherly moments with Mario the better. Fuck the whole "Luigi is filled with bitter jealousy of his brother, who has abused and stepped on...
I forgot to mention her. She's also overrated to me. Idk, she yells louder? Otherwise she seems like "not Peach" to me. I also hate how she's everyone's go-to pairing for Luigi to the point where the clickbait channels just assume they're a canon couple. She's also the only character original to...
Toad, Yoshi, the Koopa Troop in general. Though I still enjoy Bowser and many of his minions, and Yoshi is OK, but neither are the best in the series. Toad is hot trash lol
My advice is to start with Superstar Saga and play in order up to Dream Team, as each game has continuity nods and references that are appreciated if you've played the previous. Except Paper Jam, which exists in its own bubble with just mainline Mario stuff and as a result felt incredibly...
Favorite: Super Paper Mario
Least favorite: Paper Mario Sticker Star
And the proximity they are to each other in the same series really makes the contrast even more blatant. I still sincerely wish Super had been the 'new standard' if there had to be one. So close yet couldn't be farther away.
I don't like the idea that the entire PM series exists only in a book because of Paper Jam, which had no content from any of them besides Sticker Star. I think at the very least, the events of the first three happened in "the" Mario world, and had book adaptations made in-universe, or the book...
Honestly, I like the idea of a timeline, but also a good majority of the mainline games wouldn't be major/crucial events in it since they mostly repeat the same scenario. But since I consider the RPGs canon (at least up to SPM / Dream Team respectively), that's some good timeline material.
Shit i didn't know there were multiple. I'll pass on them tho, I do love me some regular Vanilla Coke though. Orange Vanilla is where it's at, but sadly I haven't found it as of late
@Beluga as a lover of Coca-Cola and a lover of coffee, that drink also depresses me
Much like Java Monster, which is like a coffee-based Monster, which I also despise
I firmly believe that there is very little to lose in taking the N64-GCN era's approach to characters. I want to see the Mario world fleshed out, into a society flowing with life, and I feel like for the most part this was more commonly possible in the 2000s. There's no reason to ban portrayals...
I recently powered through all the episodes of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and I love Mira so i used her as a theme (also i had already added her to my sig, so no need to edit my sig again for this theme)
It's not exactly a holiday theme but the show did have a holiday episode so i might use...
Sticker Star. Also while the subsequent entries were better than it, they were still a far cry from the three games that made me fall in love with the Paper Mario universe.
That's honestly just a nice detail, not the primary reason I consider the game dark. That would be the context given to the Shadow Queen, her reign of terror in the past and how the Pit of 100 Trials was a dungeon she used to torture people and feed her pet Bonetail, and how some of the partners...
Gotta be the Paper Mario artstyle from TTYD and SPM. It's hard to put into words why I feel they work so much better than the later incarnations, but I feel they do. I feel like the posing fits the style better and I vastly prefer the 2D gradient shading and black outline over flatter, duller...
I've been doing a lot of 3D work lately. Getting the hang of making models from scratch, and making more significant edits to existing models.
And finally, here's a 2D Fawful I did. :fawful:
IIRC you don't have to wait till the end of the game to find that out. If you go back to chapter 4 at any time he rejoins you so you can still shoot things.
5-1 is next to 2-3 as the worst levels in the game due to their absurd puzzle solutions. But the rest of the chapter is quite nice imo. Not the best in the game, but far from the worst either. One of the stronger chapters in regard to contained plots, but pretty uneventful in regard to the main...
