do you know if the bigger sized Thwomp has a separate model from the smaller one, like the "TeresaChief" Boo from Deep Dark Galaxy? or is it simply a scaled-up version of the other?
My first Mario games were unofficial. I have many memories playing Mario Forever at my grandma and uncle (they also had Unreal Tournament and Counter Strike on their PC--was quite a tonal shift switching between Mario and them all the time). On my PC, I was playing some DOS homebrew game with...
Pretty much the same things I remember seeing in the pre-release screenshots: it's what you'd expect from a proto-Sticker Star. The sticker gimmick was already baked into the gameplay and unique NPCs and enemies are kept to a minimum. The boomers in the IP team were certainly out for that poor...
while not particularly interesting, she's there to fill a common cartoon trope like almost every other character in Donkey Kong games and i think that's fine.
Option 4. It makes sense for world-famous Mario to have a vain imitator and an official caricature of himself. Luigi's version isn't as justified, but I guess it's fine for Wario to have an easily recognizable sin partner. Further doppelgangers would be lame and would just cheapen the concept...
They need to add the Item Box as an item on its own in Mario Kart. If you roll it, the roulette starts moving again, and there's always a chance you may get an item box again from that, which in turn sets the roulette rolling again. And then there's always a chance you may get an item box once...
Paper Mario 64 and TTYD are the only actually good games in the series. Apologies for the milquetoast opinion but if it helps strengthen my point of view in any way, I have close to no nostalgia for either game, having played TTYD for the first time about 2 years ago and the 64 game during a...
Mario fan animations from the (early) 2010s likely have some if not all of the following three:
- Mario being evil
- gratuitous violence
- Sonic appearance
You know how there were two Luigi's in Super Mario Galaxy? You know how the opposite of doubling is halving?
You think Waluigi would do something like...?
Option 8. Never cared for music streaming apps. All the music I want to listen to, I can do so for free on YouTube, and often legally. With regard to Nintendo Music:
-using it would require that I pay for Nintendo's online service which is still a deeply offensive and self-abasing prospect to me...
BCP added Funky and Diddy who were the main reason I even got the DLC. Could've gone with Dixie as well but the Mario Kart 8 devs had built up almost a decade of pent-up steaming rage at not having yet another Peach clone in the game, so they had to let that out.
Courses were fun.
Who did 8-bit Donkey Kong better?
The Mario Maker team...
or Kevin Bayliss (the Rareware OG who gave him his current official design)?
I'm partial to the Mario Maker one.
I saw this status this morning and was inspired to purchase some candy corn from the American store on my way to work (only place in my area that sells them). They were so good, I stuffed my face with them. The package was only 100g, and I hadn't had enough. So I bought more later, because I...
This thread made me want to replay the game.
I fully understand why so many people are annoyed with it--it's extremely derivative, has a very limited amount of new concepts, and ultimately does not stand out as a 2D Mario platformer. I'm too tired right now to properly elaborate why, but it...
Last night I dreamed that I created a Mario Wiki page for Joe Rogan because he claimed he was a consultant of the Yoshi's New Island official Japanese guide. However, editors of the wiki thought it was a stupid article and gave me a month long block (but kept the article) and I made the news as...
If nothing else, I think the way Roserade handled it is a good failsafe against users who circumvent the age restriction rule: tell the mods your real age and you'll be allowed to participate when you're old enough, otherwise you're left out forever. Obviously these users can further lie when...
I'm ok with this, as long as the controllers have no drift after like 2 months of use.
If this condition isn't satisfied, I'll be plunderin' on me future Steam Deck, yarrr harrr
was watching some Mario Wonder gameplay, let autoplay do its thing at the end of the video and got to this one. not paying much attention to its title i legit thought this is a level from the official release
does it matter that much, honestly? i'm eastern european, and until a few years ago i wouldn't have been able to tell you were Albania and North Macedonia are situated. and those are literally one or two countries away from mine. now i do know, but so far it served no use to me. how's that any...
just came here to say i find it interesting that american people on these forums are aware of what's happening in football, even if it's a passive kind of awareness. was always under the impression that this sport isn't popular in the US. that was probably true before the '00s or something...
And remember one thing: for the purposes of training yourself, there's no shame in copying a photograph or even someone else's work. I'm specifically touching the topic of shame because I've seen a lot of budding artists worrying over the use of reference, and I've even stumbled upon certain...
the way you add an emote of a mario character each time you mention their name reminded me of the lines of dialogue in Super Mario Galaxy, which Lumas :luma: originate from.
(the poll is informal and isn't a substitute for a wiki proposal.)
-the character Kinoppe was specifically created for a Mario manga. The Kinoppe Forever manga was her next appearance in a comic series, decades later. Given the large span of time between the two publications, and the fact that...
