Not if the sequel was on the WiiU.

Bowser probably doesn't know that though. I wonder if he's ever had a slice?

I don't know. Item minigames slowed down the process of the game quite a bit, and most of the time they were random, or it was very difficult to get the item you wanted. I'd rather there be a quick way to decide what item you get.

It's not really about liking him. I want to know why he thinks he could (and should) be more. I have my own reasons as to why Tatanga should be (he's an alien, so he can obviously bring new species into play) even though I don't really care about him, but I'd like to know why Gillbergfan...

I guess in this case, the cake... *puts on glasses* didn't lie with him. YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!!! (In all seriousness, I think that was an attempt at humor. I guess during the time Mario was traveling through the galaxies, Bowser employed Peach to make him a cake, and she didn't finish in time.)

Why do you feel this way?

Well, Mario (as Jumpman) originated in Donkey Kong. Obviously that is a Donkey Kong game, so he must be a Donkey Kong character, right? Same goes for Pauline.

I know. That's what I meant about depth. It can't be a party game all the time.

Who said that New Super Mario Bros. or its sequel were non-linear? It's actually quite simple to have linear levels in Super Mario Galaxy. What they do is make you to travel from planet to planet, exploring one until you find a way to get to another. You can't really do anything else in these...

I have to disagree. Nintendo isn't really willing to use them for more than just bosses though. I guess I can't blame them; to come up with 7 distinct characters with truly unique characteristics that will have to come back often because of their relation to the main villain is not an easy...

Are any of those characters also featured in Doki Doki Panic? That might be why Nintendo won't let them star in another game.

Ooh, coins! I like those in Mario Kart Super Circuit. Added a bit more depth to the game.

Yeah, they mess with the stages, and it makes it weird. I used to play Mario Kart 64 all the time with my family, so it's pretty important to my childhood. But for some reason the retro tracks just seem wrong.

Not character slots, but other small features like Yoshi's color change. Maybe the ability to play as Boo with a crown, or some way to play as a Spear Guy all the time.

I'm guessing Retro Studios will make their own Bowser's Castle. The thing I don't like about the retro tracks is that they don't feel very nostalgic, and they seem lazy to me. I used to play Skyscraper all the time in Mario Kart 64, but it didn't feel right in Mario Kart Wii.

That's probably not why they added the color changes (because I doubt they thought Yoshi was special either). I bet they wanted to add more unlockables, but ran out of time.

Okay, but my point was that they really aren't old enough to be put in the next game. I'm pretty sure most of the people who bought Mario Kart DS also bought Mario Kart Wii, and the same thing will probably happen in this game.

But what about RPGs like The Thousand Year Door? That sold well, and it didn't have Bowser as the main villain. Recently, Bowser Jr. has been the main villain in some games too, like New Super Mario Bros.

Hmm...that looks...interesting. It's not bad.

I don't really care for retro tracks, but I'm especially against ones from Mario Kart Wii because it just came out a few years ago. It's not even retro.

I suppose that would work.

I guess that is a matter of opinion. (NO PINK WALUIGI)

I wouldn't mind more personalized generic enemies in some of the games, either (that's what most of the partners are). It could make the story parts of the mainstream games more unique.

They were pretty creative with the Defensive Power Shots already. Also, no other Mario game has color swaps for characters like Mario and Luigi (unless you count Super Smash Bros., and that's for a reason). It wouldn't look right.

I'd call the first Galaxy an artistic masterpiece but not a true masterpiece.

If she's not royalty, she's not a queen. She's the LEADER of the Lumas, but she's not a queen. She doesn't have a kingdom, she didn't marry into royalty (as you said), and there was no previous king/queen of the Lumas, so she can't be anything but a leader of them.

That's my point. They are the only characters that could have color swaps, so that's why they didn't put it in. Technically, Koopas and Shy Guys only have one or two different colors anyway. Yoshis have many different colors to choose from, and it makes (slightly) more sense to have them...

Aren't they only in like two or three games? And besides, they are as much Mario characters as Funky Kong is.

This is actually a good idea. Too late now though...

If you mean the original arcade version, like what you'd find in an actual arcade, then no. I played it in Donkey Kong 64. I think most of the other re-released versions are syndicated versions of the game.

If it doesn't count as its own game, and it doesn't count as owning 64, than what is it?

Truthfully, each of the 3D Mario games are not too long when you only play them to beat the story. But when you can complete Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 in a very linear fashion throughout its ENTIRE completion (and short for that matter), while the previous games were much longer and free to...

I don't think any of the tracks need to be in Mario Kart 7.

I could have sworn the game said that she was a princess. I don't remember when though.

There really shouldn't be two different kinds of Shy Guys either, by that logic. Besides, Yoshi, Koopa Troopa, and Shy Guy (his flying counterpart included) are the only characters that have color swaps.

Unless you're talking about a Defensive Power Shot, that's not really gonna work.

I think he meant for Rosalina to be an Assist Trophy, not a playable character. Why did you post this twice?

Mario Kart doesn't really have any unique names other than Super Circuit and Double Dash. Every other one is based on its console (I just realized this).

This is a good point. I guess if you put him in a more important part (I'd go with a WarioWare game, to start) he could develop a more interesting personality. Though, the same could be said for any smaller character.

Well, what else are they gonna name it other than Mario Kart 3DS? At least the name is different from any of the others. I mean, the last two Mario Kart games were named after the consoles they were on already.

Thank you for giving a reason. Mario, Luigi, and Wario each started in a platforming (mainstream) game and were not created for the purpose of a spin-off. Also, other than his coloring and height (neither of which are good reasons for him to be more) he has the same personality as Wario (at...

You guys really need to EXPLAIN WHY WALUIGI DESERVES A GREATER ROLE. I get that you want it, but this isn't the thread for that. You need a reason.

I'm sorry, but none of the levels in either Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Sunshine are nearly as linear as half the levels Super Mario Galaxy (none of Galaxy's levels are truly explorative because they always force a goal on you anyways). Super Mario 64 was longer and more difficult than the...

Super Mario Bros. 3 certainly wasn't linear. Technically Mario Bros. didn't have an ending, so you could count that too.

I don't think I'm getting my point across correctly. What I'm trying to say is that if this is the game that allows the babies to branch out, it shouldn't be a slower, weaker, and more generic game like Super Princess Peach was. The Vibe thing wasn't enough to save it, and I'm thinking that...

Yeah, I was saying that I didn't want the platforming itself to be lacking like it was in Super Princess Peach since that's the main part of the game. The whole game was pretty slow, and I don't want another game featuring new characters to be like that. I'd like this game to be more fast paced.

Hmm... but then it would turn out like Super Princess Peach. The game wasn't very fun really. It wasn't bad, but it was lacking. I have one idea. It would be like the platforming elements from Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga, but with the babies. It would be an interesting feature, I think.

I don't really think age even matters in the Mushroom Universe (except for the Kongs). Perhaps they reach a certain age and then just stop growing. How else can Pauline survive two different generations of Kongs? A cryochamber?

Please elaborate... It's not that I have a problem with a Super Baby Bros. game, but I don't think they could bring anything unique to the table on their own. They certainly can take care of themselves, but I can only imagine gameplay that would be similar to Super Mario Bros. or Mario and...

I agree with this. I'd like harder and longer lasting platformers again.
