    Jakks Super Mario/World of Nintendo Figures

    One big hobby of mine is collecting toys (action figures) of various properties I enjoy. Depending on the property I typically have a focus on each unless it is something like the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World series where I'm mostly a completionist with it. Is there anybody else out there that...

    Dinosaur Island: Yoshi Fan Club

    Cassowaries are technically fruitarians even though they're highly aggressive due to being so territorial. They do live in Australia though and so as per the rules of Australia - everything there is absolutely murderous. Cassowaries are more of a modern analog of Yoshies though, despite their...

    Rick and Morty

    He was seen again in the "The Ricklantis Mixup - Tales from the Citadel" season 3, episode 7. You don't get to realize who he exactly was until after the credits roll with the post-credits teaser where it's confirmed. Though I'm sure many can figure it out before that if you pay attention to the...

    Dinosaur Island: Yoshi Fan Club

    I've spent my life studying paleontology as a kid and well into my adult years. It's definitely a passion of mine! I know various sources identify Yoshi as a dinosaur, so it just took some looking at common physical traits to see where Yoshies fit in the whole dinosaur family tree.

    Is playing mario 64 safe?

    I admit, truthfully, AI has made some strides over the years, but the programming level and development of artificial intelligence in the early-mid 90s when the game was produced was not that sophisticated. I mean I remember it being a big deal when the first Far Cry game came out about the fact...

    Dinosaur Island: Yoshi Fan Club

    I do love dinosaurs so as someone who studies paleontology, Yoshi would be identified as an archosaur and dinosaur within that group. Archosaurs are basically the family grouping of birds and crocodiles, and since birds are a type of dinosaur - they're in that group. I could see Yoshi being in...

    The official "Hi, I'm new here!" thread

    Thanks for the welcome! I do love my new Switch Lite, but it does hurt my hands if I am playing too long while relaxing, which does make me feel meh. I still love it though. Maybe at some point, I'll get the real version that'll let me dock it and play with the Joycon on a television.

    Dinosaur Island: Yoshi Fan Club

    "We have the cutes!" XD I love it. Green of course! Green is one of my favorite colors. Though I always loved getting the Blue Yoshi in Super Mario World so that I could fly.

    Super Mario 3D All-Stars

    They should still work because the code itself is redeemable as Nintendo still requires you to go online to update the game when you first get it. The game is still on the server for updates more or less and redeeming codes, but the actual way to purchase in the eShop was disabled as well as...

    Rick and Morty

    I've loved this show since catching the Purge episode they had back in season 2, so I went back and watched seasons 1 and 2 before season 3 came out and have been following it actively since that point. This show is definitely up in my usual area of humor. I appreciate dark comedy like this more...

    Why do you love Mario games?

    I have discovered I have a lot of reasons for it and I'm getting back into touch with a lot of those after a long break from it, Mostly I like the happy and cheerful nature of it and the fact that even when it is dark it is still somehow cheerful about it. I do love the absurdity of the world...

    What do you want for a new Mario game?

    This is true! Though this is also my reason to bring back Wart and Tatanga while having Wario team up with them.

    Mario pictures

    Does anybody have some good high-quality Bowser desktop wallpapers? I wouldn't mind group shots with Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings in this as well as the Koopa Troop. I've found a couple in the short time I've looked, but I really like to have a huge variety of desktop wallpaper to choose from.

    is motion controls better than regular controls?

    It really depends on the game specifically and how the controls themselves are integrated/used by the game. I can definitely see the advantage of it for a sports game, but beyond that, it becomes less and less useful in my mind. An example of it being useful like if you were swinging your...

    What do you want for a new Mario game?

    I do agree there, having Mario as a villain would never feel right to me even. I wouldn't mind if there was some kind of new big-bad for him to face or maybe someone from the other games like Wario, Tatanga, and/or even Wart singularly or even better all three teaming up. Those three teaming up...

    Dinosaur Island: Yoshi Fan Club

    I'm overwhelmed with so much cute in this thread! Yoshi is awesome and is one of my all-time favorite characters! Really, any game I can control a dinosaur is an awesome game.

    What was the first Mario game you ever played?

    Super Mario Bros (NES) and Super Mario Bros 3 (NES): 4 or 5 years old. I remember getting Mario 3 from the SEARS here in town way back when it first came out and I was in Kindergarten then and so I never really completed either game until I was a bit older. In 1st grade, I received my SNES for...

    Why does Bowser never die?

    He's gotta have a good moisturizer and reconstructive surgeon on staff! XD Ever since they introduced the Magikoopas in SMW I sort of used it as a way to explain why he's basically immortal at least in my head.

    What do you want for a new Mario game?

    I definitely want a more Bowser-centric game where you get to play as him. It'd be something fun I'd think for sure. I know he's a playable option in other games, but having a game from his point of view would be interesting and long past due. That might be my own bias though as he is one of my...

    Super Mario 3D All-Stars

    Just recently grabbed the game when I found out that it was a "While Supplies Last..." thing. Thankfully I got it for about 45 at my nearest Walmart. It's been really fun playing through Mario 64 again. I just hope getting all 120 stars again isn't going to be the death of me. Heh. I can also...

    The official "Hi, I'm new here!" thread

    Hello! I'm new here (just registered today - May 20th!) and just jumping back into playing the games since receiving a Nintendo Switch Lite as a gift. I used to play Mario when I was a kid and am getting back into them as an adult. I wanted to interact with some of the fans and make some new...
