    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    I feel that, if Mario were to go to the turn-based RPG similar to Super Mario RPG again, I would rather they use the wider established Mario cast like Daisy, Wario, and Waluigi as party members. The games may have been fun, but I think the only pet peeve I have is how the same four characters...

    MarioWiki Poll Discussion

    I voted I like it, because regular updates keep the game relevant and people play for longer. (Option 3) I felt that the trend in updating the game long-term is mainly used for the Mario sports games, if we are only focusing on the Mario series. To which I can understand, because Mario sports...

    winstein's art that are drawn by him, take a look if you want

    Initially I thought it was a good idea to take up some presentation for the first time since the rushed 2020 one, so you can say I am interested in doing a proper one. Assuming that last year was stacked, I presumed that this year would similarly be stacked, so I didn't quite press the idea when...

    It's not being kicked. It's Mario stretching his legs (one towards the background). The placement of Mario in the original Super Mario Galaxy screenshot meant that I can't move the character too much. I apologise if it looked like physical assault was assumed. Thank you for reading.

    favorite and least favorite mario party mini games (super stars)

    I love that Mario's Puzzle Party (MP3) returned, as it is the minigame that kickstarted the puzzle minigame trend, so now every Mario Party since have at least one of these. It's even the most flexible of the three in terms of player count, because you have the 4P variant (like the original)...

    Would a game still feasibly be a Luigi game if Mario is of equal role?

    I've looked at the list of games starring Luigi, and they have one thing in common: the tendency to put Mario in the backseat for Luigi to be the star. This decision could stem from how Mario's star power shines so bright that if he is in the title, he is expected to be the main character. The...

    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    Another unpopular opinion coming! Mario Golf's box art has a lack of variety in Mario poses compared to Mario Tennis. To illustrate my point, here's how Mario is portrayed in Mario Tennis: You can see him doing a wide array of things in between the games, like how in the first game he's...

    I felt that their decision to buy both Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Garfield stem from the fact that Nickelodeon lacks a lot of heavy hitters, so they absorb some outsiders to use as their own. Whether or not they properly utilise those popular IPs is another story, but I guess their...

    I know the nature of the topic means that I don't have to say that this is an unpopular opinion, but I still feel like I need to start by saying that this might have been a very unpopular opinion.

    DK characters comeback

    I picked Lanky Kong, who I felt is the most unique in the list since there is no traditional counterpart, unlike say, Tiny who essentially had Dixie before she is not that tiny any more. His design is probably the most outlandish since he's the only one with a red nose, but I think his presence...

    What is something included in a game that made you appreciate it more?

    In terms of Mario games, whenever Daisy and/or Waluigi are involved in a significant manner, I appreciate that game even more. Those two are somehow dismissed for being active in spin-offs in a way that none of the other characters were, and it's wild how it got to that point. Perhaps the...

    Pointy-Eared Humans Wario and Waluigi, despite having pointy ears, are still classified as humans, when I presume that they weren't because of that (I thought they were elves), but given how they are called humans even on the Mario Wiki, I can accept this oddity. In fact, I decided to do the...

    Does Rosalina get too much love?

    I felt that Rosalina has the benefit of being Koizumi's creation, who seemingly loves her, so I won't be surprised if he's had a hand in putting her in a few Super Mario games beyond the two Galaxy games. I think it helped that developers saw potential in her recurring status, which would be why...

    Do you think Bowser will be a playable in Sparks of hope?

    It would appear that my guess is correct, where Bowser will be playable so it might mean that there won't be a "Bowser hijacking the final boss spot" moment, unlike the first Mario + Rabbids where Bowser's only appeared as the final boss (albeit possessed). Thank you for reading.

    Reminds me of the time I beat Sonic 1 (Game Gear) on the PDA. Those PDAs have a tiny analogue stick to which you control Sonic, as well as a button where you can press to make Sonic jump. The game's difficult meant that I usually used save states to beat it, so I can't say that I did it the...

    Do you think Bowser will be a playable in Sparks of hope?

    I have a feeling that Bowser will be playable, since Bowser is one of the most popular Mario characters. The Mario series has a tendency to put Bowser as the final boss, and if he's not the final boss, he will be an ally. So for example, besides the first Mario + Rabbids, there are Paper Mario...

    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    I have no problem with Waluigi being created as a partner for Wario in Mario Tennis, even though as far as Mario spinoffs go, Mario Tennis had the vibe of being in the lower rung of spinoff importance. For one, it's fine for a character to be introduced as a partner, since both Luigi and...
