    Does anyone have trouble deciding on a favorite Mario character?

    I've never been able to make a decision about who my absolute favourite is between Daisy and Shy Guy, but I've never really had any trouble deciding to have those two as the top. I think it's harder to decide on favourite characters than least favourite ones, though.

    The Official "I'm going away/coming back!" Thread

    Just thought I'd let you all know that I'll be going away on holiday for a few days, and I probably won't be checking back in until Monday evening, just in case anybody is wondering where I've disappeared off to. See you all soon! :) Edit (15.4.19): I'm back now, in case you hadn't noticed.

    Things you didn't notice before in Mario games

    In Mario Tennis Aces, the grass on the court wears out slightly as the match goes on and where it wears is somewhat dependent on where you run.

    The Future of King K. Rool

    I think it seems likely that King K. Rool might appear in more games now, though I'm not sure in wat capacity yet. I don't tink it's likely that he'd be added to Mario Party, but I could definitely see him being added to the rosters of future sports games or Mario Kart- perhaps he'll be a...

    Which "enemy" is the least enemy-like?

    I'd personally agree with the Wigglers not being very enemy-like, and from what I know I'd also say the dolphins as well- I don't believe they actively attempt to hurt Mario and they just seem a little too cute and happy to be a real enemy. I would also say Shy Guys too, though in some...

    Things you didn't notice before in Mario games

    There are challenges in the 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games- I only found that out this morning when I was poking around to see if there was an advice list, and I've had that game for almost three years now.

    SMM2 Ideas

    I'd quite like to be able to make upwards moving levels, like towers and beanstalk ones, instead of just the left to right ones. It always surprised me that that wasn't included in the original, as I think there was something similar to that in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem...

    Super Mario Maker 2

    I am definitely excited for this game! Seeing as they've got multiple characters in the artwork at the same time, do you think that might mean that levels are playable in multiplayer? Either way, it'd be nice to play as multiple characters anyway, aside from the Mystery Mushroom. I'm also...

    So, I mentioned a while back that I saw a T-shirt in Primark with Mario's artwork from Famicom Grand Prix: F-1 Race on, and commented that it seemed like a weird pick.

Just a potential suggestion for a future issue, I think it...

    Your first impression of Mario characters?

    Some of these will be very weird, as the ways I was introduced to some of these characters are a bit weird. Also, these are only the ones I can specifically remember my intial reactions to.

    Things you didn't notice before in Mario games

    For years I thought that Daisy's icon in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games was only of her head without her body, I only noticed last night that her body is there too, but because the collar on her shirt is wite it blends in with the background too much. I also think that part of her arm is on...

    The most annoying voices

    Actually, I never played Mario Kart Wii online, and I find his Tropical Freeze voice much more annoying than his Mario Kart Wii one (That said, his Mario Kart Wii one's not good either, just less annoying).

    The most annoying voices

    I would definitely say Funky Kong, MC Ballyhoo, Big Top, Toadsworth, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Baby Rosalina, Blooper in Mario Tennis Aces (It seems too high pitched compared to Bloopers in other games) and Yoshi in Super Mario Odyssey (It sounds like he's trying to metamorphose into a cat or...

    That dog Mario reminds me of this Kinopio-kun one. It seems kind of weird how similar the two look: Also, on an unrelated note, I found this in the DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games' manual, I found it quite amusing: I don't think they've ever mentioned anything like that...

    post any random Mario thought on your mind

    I think the crafted Yoshi seems like a good idea with poor execution. It might have worked better if they had gone for a woolly Yoshi, as the patterns on them are clearly visible and they're a slightly different shade of green, so it would be more distinctive. They're also a slightly different...

    StreetPass games

    I'm wondering if, rather than move the whole lot to the references page, as there is quite a lot of Mario content so it would be a huge section, whether it's perhaps worth merging the gallery and the article? I'd say it's closer to a guest appearance than simply a reference, so I reckon merge...

    Something that makes no sense

    As for why Mario's older, it's exactly what LeftyGreenMario and Baby Luigi said: There's going to be one twin who's slightly older, even if it is only by a couple of minutes. A pair of twins I know were born three minutes apart, so one of them is three minutes older than the other. I'd guess...

    UK/USA Differences/Similarities

    I've seen it done in a few places, but I don't think it's hugely common. It probably comes from the fact it is derived from two words, but it's most commonly written as one. Except my spell checker currently thinks it should be two. It's one word in my maths textbooks.

    This is quite funny, I've just found out that when you compete against Dry Bowser and Dry Bones in the story mode of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, the game refers to them as "The Boney Bunch". Every other opponent is just listed normally as their name/names, it's only those two...

    Best and worst Bowser battles

    I'd say the Super Mario 3D World and New Super Mario Bros. U are the best of the ones I've played, though the most challenging was the New Super Mario Bros. Wii one. As for the worst, I'd say the Super Mario 3D Land, though challenging, felt too long and overly drawn out to me, and while the...

    Would you ever want the Double Dash style to return?

    I wouldn't be upset if it did return, but I wouldn't be upset if it didn't. I don't really feel that the two characters per kart mechanic added much to the gameplay, so I don't really see much point in bringing it back.
