    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    This may honestly not be that hot of a take (it may be more popular than I think it is because it does feel like the kind of opinion that should be at least semi-popular), but everyone I've spoken to disagrees with me on this except like, one person, so: I think the Mario & Luigi RPG series is...

    Things that ruin games.

    Curious about what you mean by "arbitrary weakness". Are you talking about a character flaw that the narrative of a game tackles, or something else?

    I think that's the right mentality to take! There's nothing wrong with loving Mario. While I didn't seriously get into the franchise until later in my teens, there's something about it that always puts a smile on my face. People boil it down to being simplistic and childish, but there's a lot of...

    It's totally natural to mourn a lost childhood. Missed opportunities like those, whether through your fault or not, is a very common human experience. The antidote for it, I think, is to reconnect with things that you think you might have liked as a child. It's never too late to get into an...

    Your headcanons

    Super grateful for this reply. I was trying to think of particular examples to cite because I was getting the "autistic empathy" so to speak where you (as an autistic person) just kind of... feel someone vibes as autistic but can't put your finger on why. To me it's just a no-brainer, he is...

    Luigi is autistic. That's it. That's the headcanon.

    What game did you last play?!?!?!?

    I finally got around to playing Breath of the Wild, and I've been really enjoying it so far! It's the worst addiction for a completionist like me. I have to get all the map visible, right. Now.

    Things that ruin games.

    I wouldn't say that the ideas behind Sticker Star and Color Splash are inherently flawed; I just think that they are using too many ideas that don't complement each other very well. The sticker system isn't a bad idea in and of itself, but it works against the rest of the battle system, making...

    The Unofficial Handheld Gaming Thread - A Necromancy Attempt

    I can definitely see what you mean. Playing things on the go is nice, but the homogenization of the handheld and console markets does seem to mean fewer games being released in general, and nothing unique for handheld play. That's not even just for the traditional handhelds, either; mobile...

    The Unofficial Handheld Gaming Thread - A Necromancy Attempt

    Honestly, I practically grew up on handheld gaming. Some personal story time from me: It was rare that we received a home console at my house. I never personally owned a Nintendo 64, nor a Super Nintendo, and my stint with a GameCube was brief. It's only Wii-onward that I was keeping up with...

    Things that ruin games.

    Disney's Dreamlight Valley has this for literally no reason. It recharges when you go into your house, so what's even the point of it? It doesn't completely ruin it but it seems like such a needless inclusion, if I was an exec for that game I'd elect to just get rid of it. Dreamlight Valley...

    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    I guess this would qualify as an unpopular opinion right now? I am not a big fan of the two big Luigi ships, Luigi/Daisy and Luigi/Bowser. I do think the former is cute, but I just like Luigi with other people better. And Luigi/Bowser... I don't mean to dampen anyone's fun at all, but I will...

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)

    Other people probably would've sent better essays in this thread than me about the overall film, so I'll just say this: I was going to be happy with this movie as long as it had Mario and Luigi being the loving brothers I know them to be. It was what captivated me about the franchise in the...

    Why do people eat greasy things while gaming?

    i mean, the equipment gets dirty regardless of what you do. your hands aren't perfectly clean, after all. greasy foods are not the only things that can get them dirty, too, and arguably what's worse is drinking something around equipment since liquid damage is much harder to repair than some...

    What game did you last play?!?!?!?

    the last new game i played was hi-fi rush! (i've played other games since, like final fantasy xiv, but that was the newest one.) absolutely love the game, even though i'm bad at combat games. rhythm games are one of my favorite genres.

    Do video games cause mass shootings

    Re-reading over my post, I was a little harsh and I think that's because the topic of mental illness and the way that it interacts with violence really pushes my buttons with how it's discussed (I'm a very big mental health advocate, after all, and have an intimate interest in psychology), so...

    Do video games cause mass shootings

    If you're concerned about media influence on violence, video games are certainly not the most suspicious culprit. Propaganda that glorifies war and violence have long existed before video games gained enough complexity to feature those themes. In addition to that, many stories pass between...

    I think it makes sense to be frustrated at it. "Jenny", the name, is representative of her personhood, which is something she often wants to be recognized for throughout the series, to the point that looking like a perfect, beautiful girl consumed her in one episode (perhaps multiple?). While...

    Imagine, if you will….

    I mean, it would make a more streamlined line-up, I guess, but what makes Mario special as a franchise is its proclivity to experiment. It does this in the main games, obviously, but the side games are all about that experimentation, too. As much as people attribute experimentation to Sonic the...

    Why does MarioWiki cover Yoshi, DK and Wario games?

    Luigi's Mansion is also covered on the Mario Wiki, and that, too, is a side franchise. Super Smash Bros. characters all each have their own entries on the wiki as well, including Kirby, Sonic, and... Cloud Strife. Y'know, from Final Fantasy 7. I know we're talking about games, but it's worth...

    General random thoughts you have on any video games in general

    It's so strange thinking about how Star Fox's continuity has changed, like, three times. Everything from the ages to little back story tidbits... Though they stuck with 64's for a while, at least.

    Unpopular Pokemon opinions

    I don't think this one is unpopular. Most casual players only care about playing with their favorites. Lots of Pokémon, such as Bibarel, are incredibly underrated in the general populace because people just don't like its design — but it is incredibly handy in Nuzlockes, as it can be obtained...

    Oh, absolutely. It's very fortunate that Mario had this sort of... twin connection with Luigi and could tell where he was. Kind of a shame that was never referenced again in other games, it could be neat, I think. Another uncontroversial opinion: Mario crossovers are very fun, and I think it...

    Best Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 1 Case

    Turnabout Goodbyes for sure. There's some emphasis given here about what it does for Edgeworth's character, but not enough focus is being brought to the fact that of any case, it's the one that fleshes out our protagonist, Wright, the most. You learn his entire motivation for becoming a defense...

    Unpopular opinions about video games in general.

    I think part of the reason people view the life system as archaic is it's not implemented in the same way that it used to be. Before, losing lives would basically reset your progress in the game completely (much like it would in arcade cabinets, necessitating quarters to play again). Nowadays...

    I'd say this is not all that unpopular of an opinion. I was kind of surprised when I came here and saw how many people want to punt him. I'm all for Bowser Jr. rights, personally. He's a really cool character, and a great kid character at that. Media sees fit to smooth kids out, but in reality...

    Ages of Mario Characters

    I mean, to be fair, the name of the thread is overthinking, right? And it is a canon source that could probably be used to determine ages. Peach being the same age as Mario and Luigi is pretty plausible, not just because of that game but because every time the babies appear they're often seen...

    This will be a hot take but tracing art in general isn't bad to begin with, so long as you don't publish it when the work you're tracing isn't your own. Tracing can be a great way to study artwork. It's also been used by animation professionals. Disney artists have retraced their own work all...

    Unfortunately, that's just what it's like being LGBTQ+. Cisheteronormativity is pushed onto us at such an early age but they never bat an eye at it because... well, that's their experience.
