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.
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.
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
9pm apparently, makes the most sense really. Also somewhat surprisingly, I have more posts at midnight than I do at 6am, 9 am or 1pm, that seems weird.
Good work! It's always helpful when someone can work on the home console events, as I can't get as much access to them as I would like. Just a future suggestion, but is there any chance you could include any relevant tips for the event? I don't know if there are any for Duel Beach Volleyball...
Thank you, and thanks for all those little fixes you've done too- it's always helpful when someone can pick up the little things I miss!
Edit (7.2.19): OK, here's a little update. I've now finished creating/rewriting all of the 2008 DS articles, which takes another game off the list. I've 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. Well, recently, my brother bought some new Mario Kart bedsheets, which had Mario Kart 8 artwork on the packaging, Super Mario...
I might have a suggestion for a future Spotlight here, I think Hot Air Balloon could use a rewrite- I only tagged it today but it's been bugging me for a while, and I can't do it myself as I haven't played a lot of the games it mentions. Just a potential suggestion for a future issue, I think it...
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.
Mario: He's a doctor. (Dr. Mario on the Game Boy- No other context at the time.)
Princess Peach: She's a...
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...
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).
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...
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and are enjoying the rest of the festive season! Among other things, I (some of these are shared with my brother) got:
*Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Plus extra controllers)
*Super Mario Party (Plus extra Joy Cons)
*Cat Toad and Daisy plushes
*Koopa Troopa and...
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...
Update time! I've now managed to make all of the event articles for 2012 3DS, and Yoshi the SSM's helped out with 2012 Wii and is just tying up the loose ends on the final few Dream Events at the moment. I've also made a small start on 2008 Wii, but unfortunately the file with all of the events...
There are Nokis in the Wii version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. Also Charmy talks in that game, I thought Cream and Toad were the only referees who said anything.
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...
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...
Signing up, please!
I'd prefer to receive some art, and that's all I'm able to provide really, as I don't have Steam or anything along those lines. My main interests are Mario (surprise surprise, but particularly the main female characters) and animated Disney films.
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...
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...
If you cut behind the Chain Comp in GCN Mario Circuit in Mario Kart Wii, it might lunge backwards at the player cutting behind instead of forward onto the track.
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.
So, this is somewhat interesting, it looks like the Koopalings do get some new artwork for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Apologies if this has already been brought up somewhere, but this is the first I've heard of it)- or, at the very least Wendy and Iggy do:
(These are just cropped screenshots...
If the female Villager is ever on our team in balloon battles, she always seems to be out to get everyone else on our team, but never anyone on the other team. My brother had one time on the Mario Kart 8 Rainbow road where he got stuck on a spin boost pillar (It kept doing the boost animation...
We usually spend a few minutes getting all the duds off of our team (i.e. Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Baby Rosalina, Morton, Pink Gold Peach, Metal Mario, Link, Wario and the Villagers) before we start, but we usually don't hugely care who we're up against, though we do prefer that lot to be on the...
