You're not missing much. If you've played one you played them all.

The Bros. Items in Partners in Time are proof Sticker Star and Color Splash could have been fantastic games if they cared to try and I will always stand by that.

Mario Strikers easily has the best animations in my eyes, and with how much more expressive the cast has gotten since Super Mario Odyssey and especially Luigi's Mansion 3, I'm excited for what they're gonna do in it. Course we'd actually have to GET one first...

Compared to how much Super Paper Mario sold, that's still a pretty small sample size. And even within the comments section of those videos they're still pretty few and far in between.

I've seen a lot more praise for Super Mario Galaxy than Super Paper Mario just on the basis of it being a mainline 3D Mario game which are undeniably the biggest games in the franchise, so it's naturally gonna get more attention and praise. It's just... math. Honestly the bulk of praise I see...

As for Super Mario 3D World itself, pretty fun game and remember liking it a lot. Definitely got a lot of undeserved hate imo.

Tangentially related but this basically describes my opinion on the New Super Mario Bros. sequels. First one was fun, and the following ones were so derivative of it and each other that I can't play them without thinking of how the first one is a much better experience.

Super Mario Odyssey went pretty far from conventional Mario series traditions, giving us brand-new areas, NPCs, and bosses, all of which brim with personality, and I'm kind of expecting the side games to follow suit. And so far they have, Mario Tennis Aces has much more personality than Mario...

All that reminds me that Super Mario Galaxy 2 was originally going to be DLC for the first game. Makes me wonder how that would have turned out in the end. Also, I didn't really have a problem with those filler moons. Green Stars were, again, postgame content and it was pretty fun finding some...

I would like to point out that aside from gameplay mechanics and power-ups and things like that, most if not all the content reused from the first Super Mario Galaxy was relegated to postgame content.

I mean, snot-colored maybe but isn't mold a really dark green-bluish color?

Why can you choose Yoshi for your file in Super Mario Galaxy when he's nowhere in the game outside of a cameo in Space Junk Galaxy(?)

Nah everyone knows the best competitive racer is Garfield Kart.

Yoshi's Island DS has you covered for Baby Wario. I'm somewhat of a chaotic neutral so I want them to introduce Baby Waluigi just to see the world burn.

I mean Mario Super Sluggers currently has the largest roster of any game at around 70 characters counting costumes, and that was in 2008. Over a decade later I'm sure making a bigger roster that lets everything balance out like that isn't out of the question. It'd be cool as a "let's pay tribute...

I'd totally be down to have MC Ballyhoo, Brighton, and Twila playable in the same game Goombario, Bobbery, and Prince Peasley are.

I don't know what goes on behind closed doors but I'm pretty sure the group making Nintendo's mobile games is different than the ones making their console games. Granted even if that's the case it could just be Nintendo wanting to support only one Mario Kart game at a time.

Never understood why they never continued adding characters and costumes after Breath of the Wild Link in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Sounds like a killer plan.

Still kind of upset at Mario Kart 8's roster. I get why it is the way it is, the devs wanted to focus on the courses first and foremost and they definitely look good (even though imo most of them aren't that fun to race on), but it's disappointing coming from Mario Kart Wii. Have you seen the...

My favorite interpretation of Bowser is the one in Paper Mario, who manages to be both threatening and have some real funny dialogue. Though Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story also handled Bowser's personality and playable role really well imo.

Well I didn't get that luxury on my first playthrough, and I'm sure there's many others that didn't either, so my first experience with that part of the game is what I'll always remember as one of the most confusing and repetitive parts of my history with this franchise. To each their own by I...

Honestly I think the bigger issue with Super Paper Mario is that a lot of its chapters are gimmicky and unfun, it's the main reason I don't revisit it as much as the previous two games. Look at Chapter 3 in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, where you have to participate in back to back...

Can I just say I vehemently despise videos like this. No one forgot Donkey Kong Jr. existed. Literally no one. He just isn't fucking relevant anymore.

One of the few interesting concepts in this game is the Special Items, including new ones and returning ones that haven't been seen since Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. Which makes this whole thing even more disappointing because there are some genuinely good things about this game but it keeps...

When they decide to add characters and they STILL can't be bothered to add Luigi. This is inexcusable. The only way I can accept this is if they decide to cross-promote this with Luigi's Mansion 3 for Halloween, and they better go WHOLE HOG with it too. Add Luigi, Baby Luigi, King Boo, E. Gadd...

Like Mcmadness above said, people were getting tired of the repetitive Mario Party formula by the time Mario Party 8 is released. I don't think you can say the same is being said for Mario & Luigi, as even detractors of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam admit that the game is still fun and engaging from...

All fair viewpoints.

Well contray to what people say, Super Paper Mario has an easy-to-understand plot but considering your dislike for that game I'd assume that breaks the boundaries somewhere.

So what Mario game do you think pushes those boundaries the most without going too far over the line. Just a friendly question to keep the discussion going.

Somewhat unrelated but on the topic of Paper Mario fans celebrating the end of AlphaDream since Mario & Luigi ending means there's now only one RPG series and it can go back to its roots? It's some of the fucking nastiest behavior I've ever seen. People are losing jobs because of this, losing...

I have to wonder if AlphaDream knew their days were numbered, and tried remaking what is often considered the best Mario & Luigi game as a sendoff for their fans even if it didn't make them enough profit. If that's the case, then looking at the sales numbers, it must be heartbreaking to them.

Honestly, I could see Nintendo de-emphasizing Mario RPGs at this stage. It's clear that they don't really know what direction to take them in since the last really solid one was probably Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story 10 years ago, and they've just all kind of bombed to varying degrees...

Not shocked but also shocked? It's weird. I knew they were kind of leaning off the edge of the cliff with how poorly their games have been doing lately, but I didn't think they'd actually fucking fly off. ND Cube had a lot of Hudson employees by the time they started on the Mario Party series...

Mario Party Advance is essentially a watered-down Mario Party game. So like Mario Kart Tour minus the transactions.

Currently on my 100% playthrough of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Just about done with World 5.

Man if they could have just made a new console Mario Kart with all the Mario Kart Tour content instead of making Mario Kart Tour that would have been great.

Oh yeah this means that the Japanese-outfit Mario and Peach and the chef outfit Shy Guy, along with whatever other costumes they wanna add, will be separate characters as well. This shit is lame.

For a moment, let's ignore the gacha elements, and we'll even go further and ignore the microtransactions and the Golden Pass. - Characters missing such as Luigi, Rosalina, their baby versions, Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser Jr., yet we get Peachette and Musician Mario (the latter being a separate...

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash and Mario Party: The Top 100 were bland at worst, this is just flat-out awful.

A valid argument, I'm just disappointed that this game actually does have some cool features (return of special items from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, a bunch of old kart parts, Diddy Kong and Pauline, the new courses look pretty nice) and they're not going to be on a console game.

Honestly judging by how full of microtransactions Mario Kart Tour is - with even a subscription service that really doesn't give you much besides 200cc for a greater price than the Nintendo Switch Online service itself - when they directly said they wouldn't be relying on them for their mobile...

I would like to remind everyone that Nintendo Switch's online service is cheaper than this golden pass Mario Kart Tour has. The former is $20 a year and the latter is $5 a month, which translates to $60 a year. And all you get for it are 200cc (which should have been given for fucking free) and...

I was going to post this on the fanart thread but there weren't any Bowsette images posted recently so I'll just throw it here: ---- I still cannot imagine the thought processes behind adding the features that they did in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. They fail to address the problems people...

Somewhat related but I'm really interested to see what the Mario movie is gonna be about and what direction they're gonna take it. I'm not too fond of Illumination's movies (though the first Despicable Me is a cinematic masterpiece and I will strangl- respectfully disagree with you if you think...

I vehemently dislike the comparisons people make to Toads and the Minions, specifically in regards to the Mario movie. Toad isn't even annoying. Like, at all. The Rabbids aren't even a good comparison either: Ubisoft knows the line between funny and insufferable, and smartly ride along it...

Waluigi isn't a meme character. People nowadays just take memes too far (both those who love memes and hate them). Back in the day, Luigi was a way bigger meme than Waluigi could ever dream of being. He had bigger and more widespread memes like Weegee, Mama Luigi, the Luigi Death Stare, "Luigi...

Or at least give him a half-decent design so he doesn't look like they just played around with hue sliders in Photoshop. Just imagine how cool a Shroobified Bowser would look given the Shroob-based enemies in the game. ... ...Oh yeah and make it an actual boss battle with none of these weird...

Why does everyone who does video game animations on the internet portray Mario as vulgar, irritated, perverted, or otherwise plain fucked up? I don't see how you can get that kind of personality from anything about Mario in the first place. It's unoriginal, stupid, out-of-character, and just...

Nintendo really needs to stop focusing exclusively on Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser when it comes to the Mario series. Wario's been relegated to minigame collections, - most recently just a collection of old minigames from these collections - Donkey Kong and Yoshi have basically been shoved...
