    The Mario & Sonic Clean-up Thread

    OK, time for another update, as I've now managed to get all of the 2016 3DS events done! Aside from a few extra images, finding any advice I might have missed, weird rare circumstance rules and stupid mistakes, those articles are all done now. I still don't quite know what to do about the Plus...

    Does it bother you that the Koopalings do not appear together?

    Yes, it really annoys me. Even if they can't all be playable, they should at least bring the other ones along as non-playable characters or something, and give them some suitably Marioy excuse as to why they're not doing whatever it is. Roy's my favourite and he seems to be one of the less...

    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    Yeah, we rarely see anything that isn't generic Mario, platformers or Mario Kart either. We've actually managed to find a fair bit for Mario Kart though, over the years we've found all sorts from badges to bedsheets, clothing, tracks, and a big remote control Bowser. You can really tell that...

    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    I definitely agree with you on that one, particularly the part about 3D art, all of the Mario T-Shirts I have are 2D art, finding stuff with the 3D art on is quite hard. It'd be nice if they branched out a bit on the merchandise too, use a few more characters and items than basically the...

    What is your favourite flavor of ice cream?

    That's a hard question... I'd go for either marshmallow, funky banana, Kinder chocolate, candyfloss or birthday cake, but I can't pick between them. Edit: I forgot about cherry pie and custard, that'd have to be a contender too.

    The Mario & Sonic Clean-up Thread

    OK, the awards are almost over now, so I'm back to working my way through the 2016 3DS articles again, and I've now finished five of the Plus Event articles, but I've now encountered a decision that needs to be made about categorising the Plus Events, as while they need to be included in the...

    Mario pictures

    Hold on, Bowser Jr.'s not the only one who didn't get new artwork (yet, at least)- Donkey Kong hasn't either! I knew I recognised it, and I've just been able to place it- it's from the Rio 2016 3DS boxart (above Mario's head), and appears when you boot up the game as well. We don't appear to...

    Things you didn't notice before in Mario games

    If you time it right, you can perform a trick off of the top of the stairs just inside DS Luigi's Mansion in Mario Kart 7, and in this artwork of Bowser, he's actually bending the circle:

    Which Mario Kart is your favorite?

    Mario Kart 8 (Specifically the Wii U version, a lot of things about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe annoy me.)

    Favorite 2D Mario and 3D Mario?

    For 2D, I'd probably go with New Super Mario Bros. U, and for 3D I'd definitely say Super Mario 3D World.

    What do you all think of Rosalina?

    On the whole, I quite like Rosalina, she is one of my favourite characters and I could safely say she's within the top twenty. I'm not a huge fan of her backstory, but I do prefer her calmer personality from the Galaxy games. Regarding the Odyssey concept artwork, I really don't like it, it...

    What do you all think of the New Super Mario Bros. games?

    I'm not a fan of the DS games, I've never really got on with the control scheme and as such haven't played much of them, but I do like the Wii ones. I haven't completed any of them 100% but we have completed the main story in Wii and U, and we're nearly there on U. I'd like to see the series go...

    The Mario & Sonic Clean-up Thread

    Getting in the questions, no matter how similar, is probably the most important thing to do, I know there are some similar questions in there because I know that there are a few which refer to Peach's ponytail, one which asks if she has one and the other asks if both she and Daisy have them. The...

    BBQ Turtle's Art Thread

    I say that, and then I do something else. Because the forums were down yesterday, I couldn't access the images people sent me as reference for my presentation, and hence couldn't work on it, so I decided to do this instead: It's based on something I saw while I was on holiday, it's a 3D layered...

    How do you like the new forums?

    I quite like it and think I'll get to used to it pretty quickly, I haven't played around with absolutely everything yet, but it does seem there are some good new features. Also, as a small thing, I really like that the Like button is now at the bottom of posts, it always used to annoy me on the...

    Let's further cut down on our Super Smash Bros. content.

    I wouldn't be sure about cutting absolutely everything you mentioned down, things like the Off Waves can obviously go and Alph can be merged, but I don't really think saying that these articles "waste editors' time" can be used as an argument, people have voluntarily chosen to write and work on...

    Dr. Mario World

    What makes you think that? I can't say I've seen anything to support it myself. I reckon, given what most of these kind of mobile games do, they'll probably just keep adding to the list of characters in future updates, which they'll either keep adding to the random obtainment system (If you can...

    That Sticker Star version of the slide theme reminded me of It's a Small World. What about this version of the slide theme? It's my favourite personally, it's not exactly like the original bu tit shares some similarities.

    How would a "Maker" type of game for other sub-series work?

    While I wouldn't be particularly interested in it personally, I feel like a 3D Mario Maker in the sandbox style could be plausible. You could start with a blank area and then build up structures and terrain, add obstacles, place enemies and hide collectables. You could have different themes...
