I can only imagine that since Dry Bones has gone kart racing, played sports, and went to parties, seeing deceased Koopas is a pretty natural occurance.
Super Mario Sunshine
I decided to finally sit down and 100% this game. My opinion is very mixed on it so far - I love how alive and interconnected all of the levels feel, and it probably handles the world building best out of every 3D Mario game, but the gameplay feels very buggy or unforgiving...
I'm planning on bringing back Picross to commemorate Issue 200. Whether it will be a one-time section or a monthly edition as before, I've yet to decide - that will mainly depend on how busy my life will be then. But I'm planning on bringing back Picross for Issue 200 at least.
However, it will...
I miss the 3DS menu the most, since out of the menus that I experienced, it was the most customizable. You could change the layout and rearrange apps, you could make folders, purchase all sorts of themes, and even add badges from the Nintendo Badge Arcade to the menu. I had tons of fun making my...
I just realized that it's been over three years since I joined the Boards. Even after three years, it still does not feel like that long since I first joined.
As someone who's kind of a clean freak, I don't eat stuff at all when I'm gaming. And more often than not, I've seen the "eating greasy things while gaming" thing portrayed as a trope or satire rather than a legitimate thing.
Dear Waluigi Time,
Ever since I first laid eyes on the sport of bowling, it has been my dream to play bowling myself. However, since I am a Goomba and therefore don't have hands or fingers, I cannot hold a bowling ball, and I was unable to find any Goomba-tailored bowling balls to use. Do you...
Don't know if this counts as "art", but I made a new level in Super Mario Maker 2 called "Mario Saves Christmas". If you'd like to play it, the level code is CLN-94T-JWG.
On another note, I've been in a bit of an NES mood lately, so I've been working on some art based on those games. Here's one...
15 is a lot of themes, at most I expect we're gonna get 5. Mountain and beach are themes I think are most likely - the beach theme is a great opportunity to incorporate the water into similar to the forest theme, and the mountain theme is a New Super Mario Bros. staple. I would personally like...
I'm guessing next year will be pretty light on Mario games similar to this year, since most of Mario's sub-series have an installment on the Switch at this point, whether in terms of entries or a Wii U ports, and Nintendo's running out of Mario
series to put on the Switch.
I wouldn't be...
I was sceptical of Chris Pratt's voice at first, but I think it's starting to grow on me. In particular, I thought he sounded pretty good in the Game Awards trailer, and will probably sound alright in the movie itself.
Well, it's been a while. I've been rather demotivated to do art in recent months due to a variety of things, school mostly. But I've been on a big Mario kick recently, though, so I felt like making some things.
Firstly, I made a couple of sprites from beads - the first is Mario in a...
I had a dream the other day that Mario's Time Machine, Mario is Missing, and Mario's Early Years were released on Nintendo Switch Online. I'm not going to lie, I would've been pretty interested to play these infamous games.
Here's some behind-the-scenes insight into what went into my presentations, as well as some art related to them.
F4 - Worst Obstacle
This concept was the first one that I came up with. I've wanted to do a presentation using Super Mario Maker 2 for a while, and although I originally thought...
This isn't necessarily a Mario-related dream, but a Nintendo-related one. The other day, I had a dream that I was watching some sort of Nintendo press conference, and the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch 3 were revealed at the same time. I don't remember any other details other than the...
From Wave 1, Shroom Ridge is my favorite course. I love courses with sharp turns that encourage a lot of drifting (such as Neo Bowser City) and that, plus the moving vehicles and the music make this one a personal highlight.
From Wave 2, I'm looking forward to Kalimari Desert and Waluigi...
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
After not touching it for months, I decided to revisit my Wii U. It's still in decently good shape, so I decided to play some games that I haven't booted up in a while. Superstar Saga was one of those - I hadn't played it since 2019, because I got stuck at the boss...
I made some stuff out of marzipan for my birthday. The Mushroom, Star and big Baby Yoshi were made by me, and car Kirby and Goombette were made by my sister.
I've played a fair bit of Animal Crossing (New Horizons and Pocket Camp specifically), dabbled into a bit of Zelda and Kirby, a Pikmin demo, and that's about it.
I tend to stop playing games completely after I 100% complete them, which is the case with most Super Mario games. Although I enjoy my time with them, I'm not the type of person to replay games over and over unless they're open-ended or multiplayer focused, such as Mario Maker, Mario Kart or...
In terms of the Super Mario platformers, I would like to see a new 2D one. The last one was Super Mario Maker 2, which was three years ago at this point. Considering that we've gotten a fair few 3D games recently with Odyssey, 3D All-Stars and Bowser's Fury, I'd like to see the 2D series pushed...
I'd say Option 3, since personally I don't like using them, but for other players who aren't familiar with the Mario games, they can be a helpful learning curve. I remember when I first played New Super Mario Bros. U, I sucked at platformers so I spent half the levels using the Luigi guide, and...
Schoolwork has been piling up lately for me, and with finals coming up soon, I think I'll need to take some time to focus on those. So, at least for the next week or two, I'll be taking a break from the Boards. Hopefully after that, I'll be back in full swing.
Since 'Shroom Mafia 4 is finished, I figured I'd post all the portraits I did for Wright Forde 'Shroom and Goombuigi in the game.
Wright Forde 'Shroom was slightly redesigned, I replaced his white spots on his cap with colored ones, based on the colors of each of the 'Shroom teams. (I've never...
