I've finished the game 100% with Daisy! Yes, that means I beaten every level with Daisy without switching them. While the game is already overall very good, with all the various Wonder effects and the expressive animation from the characters, I think it's enhanced by Daisy's inclusion because...

With that, 11 Mario Kart Wii courses are in this game! I'm surprised by how well-represented Wii gets in this game, where the only courses that didn't make it are Luigi Circuit, Mario Circuit, Toad Factory, Bowser's Castle, and Dry Dry Ruins. Ironically no Battle courses from that game are...

I've created a poll for this thread! Also, I just received this game by mail order, so I can start to play it like many people who have gotten it. Thank you for reading.

It's not everything since it takes a long time to type them, I'll just type out what I think I would like to see. ========= The scene starts with Luigi with his trusty flashlight, investigating a dusty old room. In the room are empty frames of paintings. When he shines a light on one of them...

Basically I recorded on the Switch, and then used a GIF maker to determine where to best loop those. It's difficult to get right, so I didn't do any more. The only character that I would like to have (that didn't already have a GIF) is Daisy. Thank you for reading.

It's disappointing when a game that I recently finished didn't have any speedruns. As an example, I recently finished the game Lair of the Clockwork God (which is adult-oriented despite its cartoonish graphics), yet there are no speedruns. Velocity Ultra is another game that didn't have any...

Unforeseen Obstacle The art submitted for September 2023's Shroom article is inspired by a comic strip that I read where one character didn't manage to see what's on their right to them because they have a blind spot thanks to the bangs that covered that eye. I immediately thought that...

I'm bringing up this topic to post the Reddit results. The relevant link: https://www.reddit.com/r/Mario/comments/16zefk3/who_rounds_off_the_main_cast/ If you just want to see the results, basically it's as follows: Character Votes Bowser Jr. 186 Wario 325 Kamek 46 Rosalina 177...

What is your opinion on imgbb? It's the image host that I currently use to host images. Note that it only has a 32MB limit if not using a payment plan, which I think should suffice. It also has the ability to autodelete images after a time frame if you find that useful. Or, the following...

For this year's awards, I reserve the presentation later then most, as usual. for my part, I noticed that one particular award is up for grabs, and I already know what I want to do with it, so I went to reserve it. My modus operandi is to only take up an award if I can make it all the way...

Recently in an interview for Super Mario Bros. Wonder, there is this excerpt that the developers opted to remove character collision in a significant way, only leaving few ways for player interaction (riding Yoshi, reviving ghost characters): This decision didn't sit well with some players, who...

I should point out that Toadette was a fifth option because you can create up to six poll choices on Reddit (sadly it's deleted for some reason), so I just added her for fun to round up five options outside the "other". I did not expect her to win the poll or get much votes, but it's there in...

I thought Super Mario Sunshine controlled like a charm. The hearsay of the game implied that the FLUDD hampered Mario's movement and the obstacle courses where Mario is without the FLUDD is preferable, but I didn't feel that. I guess the closest thing to impaired movement is needing to find...

It has potential, I think, but online multiplayer is a must for something like this, and also the requirement of CPUs filling in for empty slots. Mario & Sonic's 2020 game has online multiplayer and some sports support up to 8 players, but it is marred by needing an amount of players that makes...

Pretty much only Singapore. I did go to Australia but not Sydney (only went to Brisbane), and for Thailand it's not Bangkok, at least I don't remember going there. Did not go to any of the US and European countries that got courses, and didn't go to Japan either. As cool as it is for Mario Kart...

What happened to Super Mario Odyssey 2? The same thing that happened to Super Mario Galaxy 3. Basically something that only happens in fan expectations, because the original did so well. Maybe Super Mario Galaxy 2 gives fans the impression that sequels are guaranteed? (Though, I wouldn't mind...

(Note: This was originally posted on the Mario sub-Reddit, but it's automatically deleted and I can't tell why. No word from the moderators, where at a glance, most of them are inactive for years, except for one or two) The Mario series has a lot of characters, but let's say we narrow down the...

Floaters The 'Shroom's ? Panel is about something I noticed about Mario Kart: Double Dash. I don't know if anybody noticed it, but this is the only Mario Kart game where the characters celebrate by riding somebody's car without driving, obviously only the winners (the runner-ups still drive...

Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch) It's not a new Mario vs. Donkey Kong, but I'll take it! I love the Mario games that feature his first and less-popular platforming mechanics, and I hope that this game succeeds because I wish we have more of those types of games. Thank you for reading.

Inspiration can come in many places, but some might be more fun to know than others because they are not as obvious. So like how Popeye, Olive Oyl, and Bluto influences the dynamic of Mario, Pauline, and Donkey Kong in their first ever game. I'll start with a couple. One example would be...

Between Luigi's Mansion 2 HD and WarioWare: Move It!. Luigi's Mansion 2 HD looks to just be a faithful rerelease of the game, which means Mario's role will inevitably effectively be Luigi's trophy and not a significant supporting character, or even playable. Once again, multiplayer is all...

With all the content already done with, the breadth of it is rather impressive, but it's also a hassle to get what you want, I imagine. After all, I get the impression that not every driver/kart part/course is available all the time, unlike Mario Kart Tour or Dr. Mario World (the latter still...

I can certainly see how keeping the identity of a new voice actor may be for safety reasons, long enough for it to be properly revealed. Voice actors are a very sensitive issue, it seems. Even back in September 2021 when the first thing the The Super Mario Bros. Movie was the voice cast...

Mario vs. Donkey Kong would be my pick. While it's not a new DK-style Mario platformer, this is better than nothing. I hope that it's successful enough to convince Nintendo that we want more Mario platformers of this style. Thank you for reading.

The paper styling of the characters in this game is very clearly a touched-up version of the original version, unlike the two previous games which are more in line with the first Paper Mario game. I wonder if they are planning to use this style going forward. Certainly invites a lot of...

One thing that I am good with the game is that Mario is not used as a crutch to boost the importance of the main character. So there was an old DS game called Super Princess Peach, which has the plot of... Bowser kidnapping Mario and friends, so Peach has to rescue them. And in that game, Mario...

Since this is a remake, they are likely going to keep it unchanged, but I hope that the final boss for this game keeps the unique status of being Bowser-free. For the uninitiated, every Mario RPG has Bowser's involvement: usually Bowser is the final boss (even in Partners in Time!) or part of...

I hope this game sells very well, because I would love for the DK-styled Mario platformer to return! I know some think that the Super Mario platformers already filled the "Mario platformer" quota (basically a similar justification for saying Mario & Luigi already filled the RPG quota so Paper...

Somehow got vote #2! Anyway, I voted for the Wonder Effects because they all show to have a lot of variety, like the one that is running on the wall and the running rhinos. Thank you for reading.

Once again hoping for Dr. Mario or even Puyo Puyo to show up in the Direct, even though we haven't seen either in recent times. Thank you for reading.

Every time a rumoured Donkey Kong game is brought up, I basically think: what if it's another Mario platformer like the first Donkey Kong arcade? This is not an ironic want, because I do really like another Mario platformer in that style. The reason is that we didn't have these for a long time...

It's official, Mario Kart Tour's content workflow is basically stopping, and the next tour, the Anniversary Tour, will receive the last of the new content... Still! That means the game is running for the foreseeable future so there's no danger of it shutting down, unlike the fate of Dr. Mario...

Will he try to crush you if you stand in front of him? Thank you for reading.

Various MARIO Sketches Rerouted Football: Inspired by the Mario Strikers: Battle League video in which the ball hits Mario's face, I wondered what would happen if it hits Peach's face instead, which I admit would be a funnier outcome compared to Mario. After all, Peach tends to avoid a lot of...

When Bowser becomes a flying castle I was confused on why he became a flying castle instead of being a stationary castle, but then I looked back and see that Bowser was already in the Clown Car, so it made sense that he became a flying castle. It would be funny if Mario becomes a castle down...

Didn't play Sparks of Hope, because as Ubisoft has already proven, they won't hesitate to bring the game's price down to as low as 75%, like what happened with Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. While I didn't feel remorse for getting the base game for 30% discount since there weren't many games...

I imagine that the very vocal performances of the characters allow us to familiarise with them. Doubly so if the performance is tolerable. So like in many of the games since Super Mario 64, Mario vocalises a lot. Super Mario 64 has him always say something for many of his actions like falling...

I always thought the phrase "shove down one's throat" to be a graphic and violent way to describe intrusive messages. Especially because of how forceful and painful it sounds. And maybe it's also because sometimes what seems to be such to one person might not be realised by another. Thank you...

Some games have funny unlockables because certain characters are what you expect to be a main character so they should be available from the start, but they are actually unlockable. Take Peach for example: in Fortune Street (Wii), Peach is the only unlockable Mario character (the others are...

The datamine indicates that there are no more new courses, which I suppose makes sense given how this game's new courses tend to coincide with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Booster Course Pass, meaning that for now, 4 more courses are slated for it (Rome Avanti, Madrid Drive, Piranha Plant Cove, Piranha...

It's funny how Martinet's version of Mario is the most memorable because even if other versions of Mario exist like the 90's cartoons, Mario's current portrayal stuck. I first heard it from Mario's FUNdamentals (or Mario's Game Gallery depending on which version you're familiar with), where him...

I would be most interested in the voice actor of Waluigi, because with other characters (especially Mario, Luigi, and Wario), they have a history of more than one voice actor providing their voices so at least we know they can get replaced. With Waluigi? Since he's only got one single voice...

Mario's Confusing Birthday The Shroom is creeping up, and it's also due for showcasing this comic. The July 2023 strip is about Mario's birthday, and it's by far the most script-intensive one. The reason for this subject is that I firmly believe that Mario debut in July 1981, contrary to the...

While Mario Kart doesn't need the service model where the game is continuously being updated throughout its lifespan (because the game is a perpetual seller), I can see Nintendo going this route where new courses and characters, as well as new challenges are added every few months to flesh it...

I can see why Nintendo is rather strict with what gets approved for the Mario series these days. The Star Children thing might have cause others to think that only specific Mario characters matter because of their status. Even Supper Mario Broth gone further by specifying a specific character is...

Recently learned about this: https://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2014/06/25/325200399/two-glorious-science-experiments-one-about-sex-the-other-about-lunch Basically, one scientist conducted an experiment on frogs on the importance of the male in the mating process, by outfitting them in...

It's funny how the spin-off King Boos are basically what King Boo is widely recognised as. So basically: ...the Mario Kart King Boo, basically the design that's as standard as you can get for a King Boo... ...and the unconventionally terrifying Luigi's Mansion King Boo... ...are the more...

The Facts of Life For this month's 'Shroom, I decided to take a more trendy route, coming from the The Super Mario Bros. Movie film. In a classic tale of parents claiming kids are delivered by storks, the Mario Bros. didn’t buy Papa Mario’s tale. Created partly to coincide with Father’s Day...
