Yes, it's now in this thread where it should've been.

Speaking of the UI, I think this UI is incredibly bland for a Mario game, both in the Mario Party games and SMRPG. Something about it feels like it's trying to fit in more with the Switch menus than a Mario game. Really think there's a sore lack of The Mario Font here at least, but also just...

Is that confirmed? I think it could easily be a Toad, it's definitely a mushroom headed creature. I want it to be a Toad so we can finally put the "Toads all looking the same" shit to rest once and for all.

"Safe" is a word that cannot be applied to this game in any sense of the word, and you have no idea how happy I am to be saying that about a new 2D Mario game. Very curious about that "Dark Bowser Jr" and the unique Toads 👀

The fact that it's been 2 hours of this existing and i have not yet waken up is the most surreal thing i've experienced in some time

Funny enough I recently dug up the e-mail correspondence with Nintendo from 2008 where my mom sent them a message asking about Galaxy DS on my behalf because I was so convinced it was real. Remember back in the day when you could e-mail them and get a human response?

Oh and I'll endorse Fawfulthegreat, my only entrant anyway ^^

Me but with Sunshine. I grew up playing 64 and Galaxy was my second 3D Mario game outside 64 DS. Sunshine's the one I can't seem to get comfortable playing. It feels similar to SM64 but only in the worst ways, and the level design feels too complex for the game engine which definitely feels...

Idk if there will be a second from me, I considered the Koopatrol that is kind of a running gag in my awards presentations but i don't think he's important enough plus he'd be a joke character anyway. If I have a good idea for a second I'll add it.

Regarding Tanabe I feel like the Internet is basically perpetually at war regarding whether Miyamoto sterilized the series or Tanabe, but I believe no single person holds 100% of the blame. Out of the two of them, I'm more inclined to place more of it on Tanabe, due to Miyamoto being fairly open...

I like TOK's soundtrack, but I'm going to be THAT person and say TTYD and SPM have my favorite soundtracks in the series, especially SPM, and that isn't purely because of my opinion on the games as a whole. I grew up on those soundtracks for PM, to the point where my stepmom banned game audio...

My biggest unpopular opinion about TTYD is ironically that Chapter 4's issues are insanely overblown. I don't think I even realized how bad the backtracking was on my first playthrough because the story was that engaging. The backtracking is definitely a bit of a chore on subsequent...

Ideas I had for an alternate timeline version of the Paper Mario series: Super Mario Story: Super Mario RPG 2 Super Mario Story 2: The Thousand-Year Door Super Mario Dimensions: Super Mario Story 3 (a version of Super Paper Mario's story that retains the basic gameplay formula of the previous...

I agree Mario should always be displaying his upbeat and active personality, but I can't agree with this. Mario has had plot-heavy games, so a plot-heavy movie seems like a good idea to me. Movies are way more of a story driven medium than games, so if there can be games with grand, dramatic and...

They just... gave up on it after realizing how jank it looked, they didn't even color in Peach's crown or the star 💀

Oh yeah, regarding Lumalee...

Just got back from seeing it! What a joy to watch, I saw it in 4DX and that's the first time I saw a movie like that, it was almost like a 4D theme park ride. Fucking brilliant.

I've revised my votes to be more selective, since there's 2 more waves since the last time I voted. So some of them no longer have my vote as they've been overshadowed by newer additions. I voted for: -Choco Mountain -Coconut Mall -Shroom Ridge -Sky Garden -Ninja Hideaway -Kalimari Desert...

It's from Mario Party Superstars

Gotta be Paper Mario: Sticker Star for me. Though I could tolerate it more if it didn't mark a permanent shift in the series. The later games are still better than Sticker Star but not even close to what I want out of a Paper Mario game. And I have Sticker Star to thank for that. The objective...

All three of these deserve the praise they get.

Whether you think Fawful should or not, one thing that shouldn't have come back from the dead is this thread. Locking

The RPGs in general, outside Smash their original motifs have barely gotten any outside love. And even Smash is weirdly selective about it, often opting to just port the originals for most included songs. Like most elements, those games tend to be liberal with musical references to other Mario...

Oh man forgotten/neglected Mario characters are my specialty. The entirety of the Beanbean Kingdom deserves to be acknowledged outside Superstar Saga and a few subsequent M&L games. Such a fun location full of fun characters. I understand not bringing Fawful or Cackletta back in a story driven...

Since it's been a minute since I posted new things here (outside the Year of Luigi 2 image I just posted) here's a dump of some things I've made over the past year. 3D Models (late 2021 - 2022) You can view these models in-browser (as well as the Paper Luigi diorama) on my Sketchfab page...

As far as I'm concerned, she is. And she's dating Pauline. No, they just are female. They were assigned male but they aren't male. Describing trans people based on what they were assigned at birth, rather than the person they have become, is a regressive way of doing things.

Can't believe it's been 10 years. Well not to the day yet. But it's 2023 now and I couldn't resist remaking this image! Now with even more Luigis! I put all these into a 3D scene for this render and posed Giant Dreamy Luigi myself, as well as modelling the text.

The same thing i hope for every year Pinky, a new M&L or classic style PM game, some new thing related to those, or more deep cuts and character revivals (especially if it includes the RPGs) added to a Mario spinoff roster these days I feel like less is likely than I used to. I used to...

The most recent Owl House episode had this little reference and very rarely have two of my hyperfixations come together this perfectly ❤️ It was even confirmed to be an intentional Paper Mario reference in their Q&A panel ^^

Also Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. I honestly think they were onto something giving those two games explicit post-game content (ie, saving after the final boss and that save file being then set after the conflict is resolved). But sadly they just abandoned the idea after that. Refighting...

Peach, Toad and Cranky Kong have front row seats to Mario's public execution at the hands of DK, Bowser and Luigi interact in a way that could not possibly be heterosexually explained, Peach wields a fucking axe, Kiddy and Swanky Kong exist, Chris Pratt attempts a Martinet-esque yell Oh also...

honestly it feels a bit insulting that they took Toadsworth's clothes and recolored them to give regular colored Toads, but didn't include the man himself. If he was here, these other guys could work as like, his students or something. But having them and not him reeks of them trying to have a...

It's not a good Mario movie, but on its own merit, it's alright. Has an interesting premise, primitive visual effects, is an acid trip. The primitive vfx actually is a bit nostalgic. I'm one of those people you really have to be exceptionally bad for me to call you a bad movie, so other than it...

Prompt: Wario on his deathbed

I made a Mario trivia game with 30 questions. https://triviacreator.com/quiz/2jeK8cu

Normally I'm fine with musicals. They better not give Toad something actually catchy though, i'm supposed to hate that guy.

The Mario impression is nice but holy shit. Please keep the Keegan Michael Key voice for Toad, at least it won't murder my ears.

I'm honestly excited. I don't think any of the characters look or sound bad at all (i guess with the exception of Toad because of my own biases, but even Toad is more bearable than usual, which is something I never thought I'd say) Bowser is easily the highlight so far though. And I love the...

That tweet got deleted, here's an image tho

I never said that, I just said it's kind of a shame they went that route. After all the movie may be primarily focused on the main series, but the main series also had a focus primarily on gameplay, so there wasn't as great a need to make character designs like that. A movie doesn't have...

I mean previous Illumination movies have had variety in background character models (just look at the people populating the towns in the Despicable Me films, The Lorax, etc) so I don't think that's an excuse. I just want to feel like the Toads are a cohesive and rich society and if they all look...

I was really holding out hope that being a movie where worldbuilding is more important, they'd allow the Toads to have more diverse appearances like tall, short, male, female, old, young, hairstyles, etc. Pretty disappointed Nintendo still kept their foot down on not allowing that for the movie...
