    Super Mario-Kun

    My opinion on this has shifted over the years. While the fact that it includes spinoff material including the RPGs is still a huge plus (and still something I wish would be done elsewhere in the franchise), how it portrays some of the characters is... i can't beat around the bush, problematic...

    What If Nintendo Had Followed Sega's Direction During The 2000s?

    There are some things I wish Mario would take cues from Sonic on. Namely, Sonic has more serious and ambitious stories in a lot of his mainline games, while Mario avoids this in his biggest hitters. I think the Mario RPGs are a look into the potential the Mario universe has for that kind of...

    FTG's art

    Once again I randomly pop back in after an eternity to share something I recently made. Shortly after Mario Kart 9 was revealed, I set out to make an ambitious roster & CSS mockup to visualize what my ideal roster for a Mario Kart game would look like. It took a couple months, but i managed to...

    What If Daisy Got Her Own Game?

    I love Super Princess Peach so I'd love a sequel to that game (using the same pixel art style, just with suitably increased detail for modern resolution) where you can play as the other Mario girls. I'd hope the plot is something that isn't just "uh oh the male characters are captured lol such...

    I voted for more sets themed around spinoffs (with specifically the RPGs in mind), however I also strongly want minifigures.

    Do you support the clones?

    The clones are not my favorite inclusions, however I think there are better ways they can be implemented to make them unintrusive and actually allow for even more of them to select from too. Like, imagine you hover over Mario, and then use the L and R buttons to rotate between different...

    Time to predict: who'd make it into base game for Mario Kart NS2 this time?

    Jesus Christ that Reddit comment about WoN was downright depressing. As if I needed any further reason to think Nintendo has their head up their ass. But this still inspires me to be louder rather than just give up. Actually that insight might actually inspire me to make a video. That's exactly...

    Time to predict: who'd make it into base game for Mario Kart NS2 this time?

    They do the same thing for Donkey Kong, but it's had a handful of reps over the years in Mario Kart and similar roster-based spinoffs. It is true that Nintendo as of late has leaned more conservative than they did in the 2000s (when we got Sluggers, which even had King K. Rool playable). But...

    New Mario Kart game shown for Nintendo Switch 2

    Aw, I like the Shooting Star. I made a Dark Star themed recolor of it when I modded Fawful into MKDS. Fit perfectly. The only redesign I think it needs are the general enhancements any DS kart would need to look good in HD.

    New Mario Kart game shown for Nintendo Switch 2

    I don't get the issue with the DK design. Clearly the idea to bring back elements of his original arcade look and mix them with his Rare look was not a movie-specific one. The movie just happened to do it first, thus everyone says this is movie DK. This game appears to be going for a 3D...

    Does Hoops 3-3 / Sports Mix have sequel potential?

    I think bringing back together SMRPG's party should have been a no-brainer for a Mario spinoff made with Square-Enix so if they revisit that, I genuinely hope they go that route.

    I suddenly know why Nintendo rejected it after seeing Mario making the peace sign prominently in one of the images (probably not the main reason but i feel like it had to at least be part of it given how hard they tried to scrub that gesture from the series after the 90s) Anyways, yes I'd have...

    My Paper Mario ranking (fight me)

    Nah I'm describing Super Paper Mario. You don't get a wall of nothing but slander gifs when looking up gifs for Sticker Star. Because its hatebase doesn't make that its entire personality. It's generally disliked because it's a flawed game, but most of us envy the people who are able to enjoy...

    My ranking is 1.

This game has the most exaggerated and forced hatebase I've ever...

    Why is Mario Sunshine bad?

    Honestly the best way I can describe it is, the physics engine isn't all that more advanced than SM64, but the levels are designed as if it was. I think that's why there are so many weird, clearly unintended interactions that often result in the player's death. For all the shortcomings of 64's...

Obscure/one-off ones too. Imagine a Wizzerd firmly grasping a steering wheel with all four...

    What's your favorite mario game for 3DS or Wii U?

    Dream Team, that game felt like a 2000s Mario game in a time capsule. It came out when the shifts in the Mario series hadn't yet been around long enough to feel like a real different era, but looking back that game was hella out of place compared to what was coming out around it, especially in...

    MarioWiki Poll Discussion

    My answer is hard to narrow down to just one, as for me it's the story and characters equally, mainly the original ones. While the characterization of the main cast is important, the characters you don't see in other Mario games, and the stories they're involved in, is really the bread and...

    Do you think the RPG remakes will change the series' again?

    I agree with the take that Mario RPGs having many characters that don't appear elsewhere gives them a strong identity, but I also think that using one or two characters from each, basically "this was a very popular character who can represent this game" wouldn't take away from that. If Fawful...

    Do you think the RPG remakes will change the series' again?

    I am definitely a diehard fan of SPM's original characters, but I don't see it like that. To me Bleck, Dimentio, etc are just as much Mario characters as the returning ones, the fact that they made their debut in that game and were not used again afterward doesn't change that status. The same...

    Do you think the RPG remakes will change the series' again?

    I wouldn't mind having more pre-established characters show up but definitely not at the expense of characters original to that series. M&L has consistently given some of the best Mario characters, especially the ones from the Beanbean Kingdom. I don't want that lost. I would actually prefer the...

    Do you think the RPG remakes will change the series' again?

    VGC also claims to have gotten it. I did notice the SPM release date mistake, but Nintendo isn't immune to making mistakes. I thought there was a chance of it being fake at first, but now that an actual journalist is corroborating it I think the release date thing is just a mistake or typo.

    Do you think the RPG remakes will change the series' again?

    God I hope so. I personally do think the RPGs and their flavor of characters is uniquely special. They appeal to me very strongly, so I want to see them thrive and Nintendo to use what they introduce in other games. Nintendo apparently is starting to put out surveys about the RPGs that have...

    Are you happy with the spinoff rosters on Nintendo Switch?

    I should add that in the event characters from Paper Mario ever do get added, I'd vastly prefer them being approached the same way Goomboss and the Star Spirits were in their 3D appearances, adapted into the same 3D style as the rest of the cast, rather than remaining flat despite no longer...

    Are you happy with the spinoff rosters on Nintendo Switch?

    I honestly think a character Little Timmy doesn't recognize being in Mario Kart would be harmless at worst, and expose Timmy to more Mario games if they get curious about who that character is at best. It won't cause the game not to be bought, as all the recognizable characters are still there...

    Are you happy with the spinoff rosters on Nintendo Switch?

    I don't think being main cast should be a line drawn. What defines main cast is a blurry line anyway. If you're going to include characters that didn't debut in the main series, you really can't define an objective line. And Toadsworth DID debut in the main series so I think he counts as main...

    Are you happy with the spinoff rosters on Nintendo Switch?

    I still believe Mario rosters are not at the level they should be in this era. Super Sluggers is to me still the furthest they've gone in the direction I want, which is expansive coverage of the extended Marioverse. They've done a good job representing a lot of common mainline bosses, some who...
