There was a thread like this a while ago, too lazy to look for it though. Anyway, still 100% German as far as I'm aware (and anything but proud :S). Well, I don't know of any ancestors not born here, at least. Not sure if I have any traits "typical" for my ethnical background, wouldn't even know...

Kirby's Star Stacker.

FINLAND Northern Germany/Norddeutschland.

Re: You oldest console or handheld (by release date) The original non-colour Game Boy (1989) :3

German (native), English, Spanish, Dutch, Latin, Japanese, some French, Italian, Russian, Swedish and Chinese (Mandarin), a bit of Turkish, Inuktitut and Sindarin, know the Hebrew alphabet, started learning some Quechua once but didn't get very far, currently learning Finnish and Korean. Hope I...

Hm, hard to decide... So many awesome ones, and I haven't even looked at the 5th gen ones yet. Snorlax is an obvious choice, I also like Jynx though, and Dragonite. Nidoqueen as well. Eevee and Vulpix are also cute. I also have to list Pikachu or my plushie Pika will cry :p (Woah, I noticed...

I find it hard to put these in any particular order, but here's ten of my favourites anyway. Note that this excludes enemy drones, as well as Donkey Kong characters. - Birdo (duh) - Larry - Tatanga - Daisy - Wendy - Yoshi - Wario - Yoob - Hooktail - Cackletta Probably forgot about a couple...

Re: What are you listening to right now? Hickory Dickory Dock. ...I can't believe it gets censored.

My thoughts exactly. Pretty much every reference to the games is in name only, but it's a wonderful film on its own; fun to watch and very humorous at parts (largely thanks to Dennis Hopper's performance as Koopa; may he rest in peace), and the special effects were outstanding for its time, not...

Broccoflower? I looked it up on Wikipedia, if it tastes as disgusting as it seems, I'm glad I've never had to eat it thus far. It's usually the unhealthy foods and not the vegetables that make you big, actually :p Wish I hadn't been eating when I saw that.

This was a tough choice, but I would say... 1. Asparagus (especially the white type. Yuck :<) 2. Caulifower (unless properly prepared) 3. Most kinds of cabbage As a pescetarian, I could also add all meats and poultry here, but it seems rather unnecessary to list those. In general, as reflected...

REWE is the closest, as far as I'm aware (it's around the corner), although a lot of stores are close-ish to where I live. The particular chain store close to me doesn't look much like the picture (most notably, it's smaller than this appears to be), but I couldn't find one of the actual store.

^ This. Also, Super Mario Advance. The original game was difficult, but they kind of... killed that, especially with the giant enemies that give you an unlimited number of hearts x_x

Turning off the 3D to prevent eye problems is what the safety warning is about; the claim is that leaving it turned on would cause lasting problems to children, which is why it comes with parental controls to ensure it's turned off. I'm not quite sure where anybody denied that the 3D could be...

Re: What is the hardest Mario game you have ever played? Super Mario Land. I've always found it terribly hard to play; the physics are... different from other games, and it's hard to see what stuff is without using the Super Game Boy (especially on my cruddy old Game Boy that has a blurry...

I find it hard to imagine that no problems would result from it for anyone, actually. It probably depends on the individual that's looking at the 3D screen, though. Personally, looking at anything with a "3D effect" that does require glasses for only a minute or so makes my eyes hurt and gives...

Lubba, because he's fat.</predictable answer>

Dragons Hmm, I like nearly all living things for one reason or another. I like fungi in particular though, for whatever reason. They're quite fascinating and many species of them are very beautiful; I also couldn't imagine a good fantasy setting without them. Snails & slugs are nice, too, and...

Wait, so you want us to lie about our age? ;p Anyway, I'm 20, even if it may not seem that way, and rather surprised at how old lots of other people on here are. Can't wait until I'm 111 so I can throw a party for all the Grubbs, Chubbs and Hornblowers.

It's actually "van" in the German Super Mario World strategy guide, interestingly. I guess they decided "von" wasn't original enough in a country where it actually semi-commonly appears in real names. Anyway, best to worst (this was rather hard cause every source portraits these characters...

Nobody knows for sure, but it's probably Vhoorl.

Some funny or interesting mishearings of mine I can think of from the top of my head: In "Everything" by Alanis Morissette, I was convinced that the line "You see all my light, and you love my dark" was, in fact, "...and you love my dog" until I found the real lyrics. I thought it was about...

I voted Daisy and Birdo because they need more respect :< They both actually started out as main Mario series characters (well, Birdo started out in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic! of course, but her first Mario-related appearance was in a main series game), yet have hardly appeared in the main...

As far as I'm aware, apart from bang snaps, fireworks are illegal before and after the New Year's Eve celebrations here in Germany (well, illegal for personal use at least, stuff like rockets and such are allowed for professional public events that require them), but legal (country-wide, afaik)...

Depends on what else I'd be able to do with the element apart from what the first post lists; the idea of harming someone doesn't exactly seem very appealing to me, so if that's all they can be used for, I'd rather not have any of them.

I'll be eating a lot, but I always do that. Apart from that, no money for any sort of fireworks and it's freezing and everyone has a cold, so yeah. Not that I'd enjoy partying either way. I watched the fireworks in Stormwind though, but that's more pitiable than anything else.

They wouldn't be awesome if they weren't fat. Anyway, I personally dislike the sports games, mainly because they're fairly generic and have practically nothing to do with the concept of the overall series, only having Mario characters and "elements" in them because of their recognisability and...

Vellisia Enuvientu Nakia (or Vellisia, daughter of Enuvien; she's the dragoness in my avatar and my deviantART gallery, but you probably guessed that) started out as a character in a fantasy book I wrote (which I still haven't gotten published Dx); an extremely minor character, interestingly...

Not everyone necessarily goes by the English version, actually. The Mario Wiki itself actually goes by the Japanese canon in many, many cases. Not saying it's wrong to go by the English version, of course, just pointing out that not everyone does. Look at her article; her Japanese character...

Birdo was never said to be anything else than male in Japan, so one can assume it's at least "canon" there. And the quote clarifying Vivian's gender is in her article in Japanese, saying precisely what the article claims it does, so unless the game was translated to Japanese from some other...

Well, with the thousands of characters there already are and almost every new game (especially the RPGs) adding more, you can't possibly expect all of those to return, especially minor ones. Most people prefer some innovation over recycling as well, so that probably also plays a role in...

When I look at the icon next to the thread title, it seems more like there's a little Goomba standing there and looking at you and he's all like "do you believe in Jesus? :goomba:" Although it's a bit odd to see a Goomba asking that. On topic (if anyone even still cares about the topic, the...

Neutral; don't care much either way. The problem with Chuck Quizmo is that he hardly gets any characterisation as his only purpose is to ask questions, which any other character could do just as well; Dr. Topper did it long before him, after all, and other characters have also done the same.

Re: What are you listening to right now? This McDonald's commercial song. Wish it was longer, though...

The Doki Doki Panic manual states that, i.e. the manual of the first game she has ever appeared in, and it remains intact in the Super Mario Bros. 2 manual; I wouldn't call that random. It's not particularly "strange" either, it's called being transgender. As far as I'm aware though, Nintendo...

Giant Land. I've always liked the concept of bigger versions of regular-sized stuff for some reason, so that's just the perfect world for me :p

From what I can think of at the moment, the Treetops theme from The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse (I apologise if it's been posted before, didn't look through the entire thread). It's truly amazing; so is all the music in that game, actually, Treetops is just very fun to whistle :3

Ye disbelievers, Birdo is pretty :< As for ugly characters, Valentina from Super Mario RPG and Jojora's friends from Superstar Saga certainly qualify, but the Golden Diva from Wario Land 4 really takes the cake. She's is not only ugly, actually, but downright terrifying. Then again, the same...

Hm, is this anything like St. Nikolaus? That's on the 6th, though (i.e. tomorrow), at least in Germany. (Looking forward to that; we get presents on St. Nikolaus here (before getting presents yet again on Christmas Eve), not sure how it is elsewhere.)

'Twas a tie between Flurrie and Vivian, so I voted both; the former mainly for the looks, the latter for the same reasons I like Birdo -o.-o

All I want for christmas is my two front teeth a large plush Pikachu. :3

Lurker usually; I remember lurking for years at some forums and never signing up. Not sure what I am when I'm not lurking, though; none of the archetypes on there seem to apply, as far as I understand them. They all seem rather attention-seeking in a way, and I'm usually content with people...

Spears.

I don't know about any ancestors of mine who weren't born here in Germany, so yeah. I have no idea how I would trace my heritage back any further (I'm surprised so many people seem to actually know detailed information about theirs), so as far as I'm aware at least, I'm 100% German. I'm ashamed.

We had a bit of snow here today; first snow this year (well, since the last winter's snow stopped falling, that is :p). This winter is allegedly going to be worse than the last one though, which had continuous snowfalls that didn't actually stop until like the middle of spring. Kind of looking...

Foxfire Firefox. I like foxes :p

A dark sepia, so I guess that counts as brown. Might dye it something more exciting some day; some red-ish shade of pink probably. Rose looks nice, in fact.

Handheld Gaming it is, clicky for direct link to the thread.

A whole lot of people according to Wikipedia, but the only ones I've actually heard of are Gerhart Hauptmann, Wolf Biermann, Jonny Lee Miller and... Erwin Rommel Oo

Can't travel very far due to lack of money, but I've been to the Netherlands several times (the northern parts, at least (Groningen to North Holland); I live close to the Netherlands/Germany border) and to Luxembourg (Luxembourg in Luxembourg, that is. For a day, at least. Definitely the last...
