What gets me about this image is how Bowser Jr. is described as an "it". Thank you for reading.

The Spirit of Christmas Kart Racing Months before the 189th issue of The Shroom, I was requested to make a banner for the momentous issue about the topic of Mario Kart and the festivity of Christmas, The outline of the image, relating to Mario (with Santa outfit) in a sled with Poochy in...

If given something, when one thanks the giver, that indicates gratitude. However, when one would respond with "you're welcome" instead, that denotes entitlement. The latter feels similarly if one does something good but felt the need to say "you're welcome" without waiting for the other person...

I've wanted to write about this year's Scribble Showdown, but didn't get the chance. Now that the year's almost over, I feel that I need to finish it before it creeps over. Before that, I should point out that I have made a couple of changes. The first change is that I decided on a different...

I know it's not what you have in mind for a new Mario Kart, but I guess Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit is probably going to be the Switch's new Mario Kart game. While it's technically a new Mario Kart for the Switch, some people prefer to count it out because it's not a traditional Mario Kart...

I know the thrust of the topic is for Super Mario Bros., but it's important to note that Mario's earlier adventures are also solid. I think it's due to how deep the gameplay is, even when there are not many outputs. The original Donkey Kong has just a control stick and a jump, but the stage...

Of the King Boo renditions, I would've loved it if the Sunshine's King Boo is used more. Mario Kart's King Boo (the most commonly-used version, in fact) is rather plain, Luigi's Mansion's King Boo is better off in its own series than a wider one. I have a certain fondness for how unique this...

It fascinates me that Super Mario 3D Land is the first game that Luigi gets the exclusive fox costume to differentiate himself from Mario, yet Luigi never gets accused of skinning foxes to account for the change, while Mario gets slandered for skinning raccoon dogs during that time (even though...

Why limit to Wii U ports when you can look further? It's not like other consoles are off-limits, as we've seen with Skyward Sword, Kirby: Return to Dream Land, and Xenoblade Chronicles. Mario Sports Mix Deluxe sounds pretty good, come to think of it... Thank you for reading.

As much as I lament how Dr. Mario is a series that is extremely content light generally, I guess a good thing is that it might not get much worse. Something drastic has to happen to beat out the content lightness of Dr. Mario Express. For Dr. Mario, pretty much the only way to go is up...

Dr. Mario World would be a suitable game to bring over now that the current one is gone for good, but I can't help but feel that it would be reworked somewhat, mainly because of the VS mode, which is very much made with the quick reflexes of the touch screen. It would be interesting to see how...

Yes, that's right! From the topic creator of the 2020 and the 2022 threads, it's inevitable that I make a 2023 thread at this time of the year! In terms of Mario games, this year has been incredibly light, but still no less boring, thanks to Sparks of Hope and the perpetual popularity of Mario...

Roy Richter Ken Lucina Corrin Thank you for reading.

Ah, the Mario series... it's a series that's got so many characters, and even more if you count the non-games media! Still, those introduced outside games tend to stick there, but wouldn't it be fun if there could be a chance they could appear in the Mario series to get new life breathed into...

While Mario references in other franchises are easy to come by, I feel like it's a struggle to name a franchise where that Mario reference is an integral part of the series. What do I mean by this? Take Kirby, for example: In that series starting from Super Star, Kirby wears a green pointed cap...

That is pretty much the case for Nintendo Switch, with few exceptions. So far Paper Mario's Switch game did not beat Super Paper Mario even though it's more than a year, but it's not too late for that to happen. Mario Strikers' Switch game hasn't yet beaten Mario Strikers Charged, but it most...

Super Paper Mario is still the best-selling Paper Mario game, but you can attribute its success to being in the right place at the right time: It was released early on Wii's life, which means that as far as choices for Mario games go, there's not much to pick from. The game is billed as a...

Personally speaking, if a fandom exhibits qualities of a paradise, be thankful for it! It's rare for this to happen, and even if it's restricted to the community, it's still something to be blessed about. I feel like we should not take decent communities for granted. So like the Mario community...

If a game is still being ragged on even after 10 years, it's a reasonable assumption that even 20 years from release, those who harbour a hatred for it will still continue the attitude. I guess it is entirely possible for the fans to soften to the game eventually or to let their grudge go, but...

Good thing there's a Pokemon trailer tomorrow, so it's not like the 2 days would feel too long of a wait. Thank you for reading.

Note that there are moving parts for this model, like the Spiny "climbing" the staircase, which you can see in the Youtube video to which this image is sourced from. Thank you for reading.

Conversation of Four Friends A recent piece that I've finished, it depicts four characters talking to each other in a sort-of dynamic way. This time, I decided to use paint for the art that minimises the use of lines to give a painterly style, which is different from my usual fare. One of the...

I feel like if Wario Land were to return, Wario would follow the school of Ground Pounding where the user flips in the air before initiating the drop (hey, he did this in the Mario Party games earliest!). Would some fans consider Wario to be ruined if he did this? I guess there may be, but this...

Hey Super Mario Wiki, provide me six random characters to draw! A couple of months ago, this post was shared. It's basically a drawing of six random Mario characters picked by the Mario Wiki using the "random page" function, and drawing what comes up first. I thought it would be an...

Sometimes I wonder what the developers' opinion is on Waluigi. It's well-known that Waluigi was conceived to provide Wario with a partner (not unlike how Luigi was made to give Mario a second player and Toadette being made to give Toad a partner), but I wonder if the developers have fondness or...

Mario Bros. is probably the most underappreciated of Mario games. I am not sure if this account is reliable, but it would seem that to some, Mario Bros. is viewed as "that minigame from Super Mario Bros. 3" or "the side mode in the Super Mario Advance series" or "that minigame in Super Mario 3D...

Sephiroth Meta Knight Falco Villager Palutena Thank you for reading.

The inclusion of the Mario Bros. side mode in the GBA version of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. This is an inclusion that I am very confused about. Maybe Mario & Luigi might also have been made in the base for the Super Mario Advance engine, which is odd because it's a game that unexpectedly...

I think Mario boss fights should have a quick-out option, where for each of the phases, you have the risky option to take down the boss quickly. As an example, Hariet has periods of time where she hides in her hat to fly all over the place, but if you stomp on her quickly, she doesn't get to do...

At least Rosalina appears in this grand game even if being possessed, so fans of the character can at least take solace of that. Meanwhile, I am hoping for Daisy or Waluigi to appear in a game like this. Thank you for reading.

I would accept Metal Mario as a separate character if Cat Mario is generally accepted as a separate character, who I would say have a bit more to differentiate like how he has his own show and his own voice. As it stands, since Cat Mario is considered as a mere Mario in a power-up state, so too...

It's a fairly common opinion for fans of WarioWare or Wario Land to wish that the characters appear as part of the larger Mario spin-off roster, but I am of the opposite opinion: I wish some of the larger Mario series character appears personally in WarioWare (or Wario Land) instead, especially...

Fans are very quick to catch all of this. This Twitter account already accrued over 10k followers even without being announced officially nor was anything posted. Obviously it would be funny if it ended up being nothing, but it doesn't appear to be the case. Thank you for reading.

I don't know if you are into puzzle games, but Stretchmo would be a recommendation if you do. That game may be free so you can download it straight away, but that in reality plays like a demo rather than an actual free-to-play game. The method of payment is to purchase puzzle pack, with four...

Samus Cloud Sephiroth Meta Knight Villager Thank you for reading.

Any Mario Party music, ranging from the entire series including the Hudson game in addition to the NDcube ones. Even the modern ones could do with some additions. Among a few that could be included could be Mustn't Panic, Keepin' on the Path, Ducking and Dodging, Loud and Sweet, Don't Freeze...

I don't know if this will ever happen, but if Splatoon would be inducted for the World Video Game Hall of Fame, that would be awesome for personal reasons. Thank you for reading.

MarioMart's Absentees When I made the MarioMart concept, I have wanted only Mario to be featured within the established cast, which means that Luigi and the rest of the cast will necessarily be completely absent. But there is a thought that came to me at a time: what if these characters...
