    Toughest Mario Level and why it's so hard

    The first problem with threads like this comes down to what is and is not considered a "level" between different kinds of games. Is a Mario Kart track a "level" in the same way a 2D platform course is a "level"? What about a Mario Party mini-game vs. a 3D platform world? Are chapters in the RPGs...

    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    Double Dash absolutely plays like jank but I'm not against 'doubles' returning if just as an optional mode. I like that it's a slightly more interesting way to handle 2 item slots and a way to let a 2nd player join in without having to race against the 1st player.

    Why is it that, of the Mario spin-off series, Dr. Mario did overall less well?

    There's also the fact that nobody really gives a shit about puzzle match games anymore. Anybody who'd be likely to play those is probably already playing Candy Crush or something similar on their phones and tablets. I think one of the reasons Dr. Mario World performed as badly as it did is...

    Things in Mario games that mystify you

    ・Mario suddenly having a previously-unmentioned castle for all of one game, then that castle never receiving so much as a small nod ever again for the rest of the series. ・Stanley's entire existence. ・Koopa Kid's entire existence. ・Pretty much everything about Wario's Woods, both NES and...

    Overrated Mario Characters

    Him kidnapping Pauline is one part Nintendo Software Technologies taking Classic DK's personality and injecting it into his veins and one part the twist at the end being that he didn't really kidnap her so much as invite her to tea. As for the thread's subject... as annoying as Daisy and...

    Why never was a Super Mario Bros timeline?

    Because Mario isn't Zelda. :yoshi:

    In your opinion who is the cutest character in the Mario series?

    Heavy Troopa doesn't get enough credit for his huggability.

    post any random Mario thought on your mind

    Was Gregg Mayles even involved with 3? Aside from that, I always considered 3 to be a sort of "bridge" between Rare's Super NES period and their N64 period, in more ways than one. In 3 we see shades of the style we'd later see in Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo and Conker. And your description of its...

    Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

    K. Rool's personality was kind of ill-defined until Donkey Kong 64, and even then he shifts from being a parody of both Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget and Darth Vader from Star Wars at the beginning of the game to being more like Bowser at the end. For the longest period of time, the most...

    Who's the brown Mario in FC Golf Japan Course supposed to be?

    The unnamed woman appears in regular Golf US Course but would only be unlocked after submitting your disk to the Disk Fax machine, probably as a way to tell if your scores have been submitted or not. I had no idea she was also in the golden prize disk.

    I also have a copy of it, and those two pages actually precede the story section where they explain Yoshi's origin (half a magic egg pops out of a volcano, a Goomba, a Boo, a Blooper and a Piranha Plant climb into it, the other half falls on it, then it hatches), so "Yoshi's mom" on that first...

    Circulated rumor of content for Super Mario Bros.'s 35th Anniversary

    For whatever reason it's now common to use "remaster" to mean both "upscaled re-release" and "complete remake". Like how "reboot" somehow means both "really late sequel" and "remake" now.

    The motherlode of unreleased Mario content

    There's no actual proof of any of this, it's just off-the-rails speculation. If anything, it was probably just an engine test that was ultimately used to make Yoshi's Island.

    A platformer where Mario has a melee weapon

    Give him a hammer and map it to the Y/B/whatever button ordinarily dashes, shoots fireballs, lifts, etc. It could function exactly like it does in Paper Mario. A short range attack that hits both ground-level enemies and blocks. In a platform game it'd basically serve as an alternative to the...

    Paper Mario: The Origami King

    A Mario RPG with recruitment sounds like it's ripe for a completely new sub-series at this point. As for the trailer, the opening radiates Big Thousand-Year Door Energy while the origami theme, Mario's big foldy arms and parts of the battle system radiate Big Color Splash Energy. I'm kinda torn...

    What do you all think of the New Super Mario Bros. games?

    DS and U are probably the best of the four, with U Deluxe being the best version of U. On a personal level, I also like 2 more than Wii, though that's apparently heresy in most circles.
