With a new Mario & Luigi game, I wonder if this game will have the following that previous games are wont to do: Have a segment of solo Luigi whose role is to rescue a completely unavailable Mario Bowser being the final boss I think the second point is only a matter of time because the series...

It's great to see a remake for older consoles for the Switch. But it somehow feels like they have this in the back burner for a while for when they need a new game to fill the gap. Still though, at least Donkey Kong Country Returns is available yet again. I think that compared to Luigi's...

I hoped that one day the Mario Party series would take a page from Mario Kart where in order to keep up demand for more levels, they would instead reuse older content to beef it up. In this case, it's great that they are reviving old Mario Party boards to increase the board count, and I am here...

It's the latest Super Mario Party game for the Nintendo Switch! Thank you for reading.

Sadly Mario Party is still not acknowledged in the Super Mario platformers. In any case, I wonder if the tune for Super Mario Run being a main Super Mario platformer changed when those characters show up here, since some assume that since this is a mobile game, it doesn't count. Thank you for...

Maybe in this case, Luigi could be "greenie mario scaredycat" or something like that. Or how about Peach, who yells Mario's name, so she could be "peachy MaAaaAriOooOo princess". So if Mario is "funny wahoo man", then Luigi would be "funny wahee man", Wario would be "funny wawahoo man", and...

On the internet, Mario is among other things, known for being a "funny wahoo man" or "bing bing wahoo". I cannot tell if either of these are affectionate especially based on where the latter term came from. Now I'm wonder about the other characters. For example, someone on a chat calls Yoshi...

Blue Shell, like the one in New Super Mario Bros. Whatever they did in Super Mario 3D World isn't the same since it relies on Koopa Troopas to exist to use it and you can't use it outside that. Thank you for reading.

When it comes to Mario Party, I know there are a lot of choices for enemies even though the topic never suggested them. But I think it would be nice to see some friendly guys in the playable spot this time. Maybe like I guess a Shiverian and a Tostarenian? They would normally be relegated to...

I like how the topic creator's post can be read as the creator knowing that Wario is the ugliest, but because he's featured, the topic creator is not willing to outright say it. Thank you for reading.

I thought it's interesting that Super Mario Run and Mario Kart Tour both have a sort of mutual acknowledgement between the console games and their mobile offerings. Like for example, Mario Kart Tour offers courses in the wider Mario Kart series on consoles, and at the same time Mario Kart 8...

In terms of Mario dream teams, I personally would like to see one featuring Mario, Wario, and Waluigi. Is this an unpopular opinion? It most certainly is, because I don't think anybody would clamour for it (except me, as you can tell). Why do I like to see this? Partly, of the four plumber...

Even though Dr. Mario is relegated to either a digital-only release or a compilation part, there is still a surprising lack of suggestion for it, even as a digital title. Certain other puzzle games did get new releases in the mean time, like Puzzle Bobble Everybubble (of the Puzzle Bobble...

I wonder if the lack of a new Dr. Mario game suggestions is damning to the series' diminished popularity. It used to be a very high-selling series where its original NES and GB versions are the Top 10 best selling games on their respective consoles, but now it seems like Dr. Mario is best known...

What I like about the image above is the embracement of the tactile paper artstyle of the newer Paper Mario games. There might have been a loud opinion on the tactile-looking paper as blasphemy from classic games, but either way this is refreshing to see. Thank you for reading.

I once asked about if Mario actually stole the Princess Peach statue in the Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 article, because the context of the game (between manual and the ending) indicates that Mario isn't a thief. One person responded that he in fact did, even though the game's actions didn't...

It's interesting how despite Bowser being the villain, he's only really a villain for Mario. Yoshi only gets the baby version of him, while the others their own villains. It seems that even Yoshi isn't interested in Bowser himself. One "drawback" with this is that it doesn't afford Mario a...

One of the comic strip characters would be a dream come true (but not sure for other people. After all, comic strips is not a popular medium). - Popeye is one character I would like seeing, because of his historical ties with Nintendo. - Garfield is another character. Certainly that Nickelodeon...

I just noticed that the Mini Mario parts were changed in the remake. In the original, the Mini Marios' heads were not complete, so basically their head and cap form one unit, like below: What about the remake? You see the background there? The Mini Marios heads are complete, which means that...

I think that segregating characters to "mainline" and "spinoffs" would be too limiting, especially for a series that doesn't have a "canon" like Mario. It's part of why I am reticent on saying "mainline games", and would prefer to say Super Mario platformers because it is clear that this is what...

I find the "Oh you m-monkey, you sonuva-blariarato" (or something like that) the unfortunate exclusion, even if I understand its exclusion since they would basically admit that Mario is foulmouthed. Unfortunately the people who can hear "They're forty dollars!" can't interpret this line in a...

That is correct: technically Daisy is not in the same group as RPG characters, but there is a vibe by many people who thinks that she is a spinoff character because of how frequently she appears there. A bit similar to Wario to an extent: he's introduced in a Super Mario platformer but he's more...

The reasoning that there is no downside in adding the RPG characters and locations to the other games would be my similar feeling on how adding Daisy and Waluigi to other more "respected series" (Super Mario platformers, character-centered games like Wario or Yoshi, the Mario RPGs) have no...

Would you say that Toad being in this game makes it convenient to mod in Toadette (or Baby Luigi, I guess) if you got around to mod this game? Thank you for reading.

I like to think that Toad is probably the best choice for a second player compared to Luigi because of the inherent abilities in play. In this game, Mario has a limited jump despite some acrobatic options like the handstand. Luigi would probably be a high jumper and might break the level's...

I am not interested in Princess Peach's Showtime, which is option 6. It basically boils down to being indifferent about the character, which is something I felt about Luigi (which is why I am similarly indifferent to Luigi's Mansion games too). The central draw of the game is sound, where Peach...

Something I don't understand is why Mario(species) is collapsed into the Characters section. I like it when it was originally a prominent section, as otherwise I wouldn't have known about it. When it gets collapsed into a general section, it's not less visible when it's clumped with a long list...

I don't know which one is truly the worst, but the ones that involve your favourite characters sting a lot more compared to the characters you aren't as fond of. Perhaps relatedly, the characters you dislike the most is likely met with schadenfreude in that you can easily point to the worst...

Has Wario ever used the two features on his biker helmet? They come with goggles and head straps, but both of them looks too small for him. The goggles seem to be smaller than his eyes, and the head straps don't seem to go around his head. They always seem decorative to me, but maybe that's...

The thing that gets me about the RPGs is how they do not have the same stigma as Mario spinoffs. One observation I have made is how certain characters like Waluigi were looked down upon because they regularly appeared in spinoffs, with choice phrases like "stuck in spinoff hell" or "roster...

I am not sure if everybody considers him as part of the main cast, but in case he's not, I will pitch a vote for Waluigi. Now I know some of you might be thinking: Waluigi? He's pretty popular! While that could be the case, and indeed he found his way in character group art, there's no denying...

This sorts of put into perspective those who requested for Geno, who only shows up in Super Mario RPG as a major character. I do not think that Geno is in particularly high demand if referring to the Mario series, but it's funny how that characters is in high demand for Smash fighter (even...

Klonoa, I guess. The main character has the vibe of a mascot, and indeed his design evokes classic characters like Felix, and also the animal mascot ones like Sonic. I am not sure if Klonoa was meant to replace Pac-Man as the face of Namco (this was before they merged with Bandai), but he did...

While he did have his ups and down, I personally think Sonic did NOT overstay his welcome. As a character, he is very appealing: he's fast, he has a very appealing attitude, and he's a guy who you don't mind being friends with. In other words, a character designed to be a mascot and as a result...

It's not a review, but since it has numbers (so can qualify as scores) and we know how much every loves that, I thought I would mention it: https://www.ign.com/articles/2005/09/13/top-10-movie-wishlist-the-unusual-suspects Most notably, there are two characters that made it to films: - Krypto...

I think that Bubsy is probably one damning example of a series that overstayed its welcome. It's one thing when some companies demonise plushies from their competitors, but it's another thing when the company demonises the product that they created in the first place. For Bubsy, after its...

As long as Daisy and Waluigi are playable in most of these it's all good. They are yet to achieve the same appreciation as other characters like Wario and Rosalina from what I noticed. I am not sure if Super Mario Bros. Wonder helped to elevate Daisy's reputation but I noticed that not everyone...

Wario and Waluigi to be featured. In the Mario series these two are more or less inseparable at this point of time, so if they were to be featured, then both of them should be in instead of Wario only. It would also be an opportunity for another voice actor to voice Waluigi since he is a...

Given how Nintendo actually raised their Switch forecast for their financial year from 15M to 15.5M, they are unlikely to do so. It's likely their last financial year with the Switch, so it would be in their best interest to capitalise on that since they have quite a few key releases by March...

I don't think it's the poll's intention, but the vibe of the latest question is to me, asking for a Super Mario platformer, since I associate Super Mario with the platformer series of games considering that every Mario series don't use Super as the standard (Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario Golf...

I created an account in order to argue that Mario Circuit (Wii U) is the original track that Mario Kart Stadium is based on, and not the other way around since the former was shown off first, despite the latter being the first track in the course order. The justification being that the first...

I think it's great. The influence of Deanna Mustard is there so the loud exciting voice direction is still felt, which is preferable over how it was in the beginning which was very similar to Peach, like in Mario Party 3 - 5. It's something I felt about Charles Martinet's replacement: the desire...

Personally I think it would be the first Luigi's Mansion that would get a port. They've done it with the first two Pikmin games leading to Pikmin 4, so I think it's reasonable that they would release it not long before the second Luigi's Mansion remake. Could even be marketed as having every...

I'd imagine that with the Nintendo Switch being as wildly successful as it is, it would be the best time to have a Dr. Mario game. Most Nintendo IPs saw a huge uptick in interest for being there, not only the big successes like Mario Party or Animal Crossing, but also the smaller ones like...

We've had this topic for 2020, 2022, and 2023, so that means another year to guess what's in store for 2024! This year, it was a bit more eventful compared to last year where there were only two Mario games. This year? We actually have 3 of them (Super Mario RPG remake, Super Mario Bros Wonder...

I would like to see Nintendo create a new Super Mario game for mobile devices, as long as it doesn't have gacha mechanics. I've only played two Mario mobile games: Dr. Mario World and Super Mario Run. Dr. Mario World I played because I am most curious on it and puzzles are my kind of thing...

Does the supposed existence of "spinoff hell" imply that appearing mainly in spinoffs is akin to them suffering because of their sins? Does this imply that there is a "mainline heaven" that every character is required to strive for? Are all characters who are born in spinoffs sinners from birth...
