Oh yes, absolutely. They make Nintendo look like the good guys when in reality ACAB (All Corporations Are Bad). That said, you can enjoy the art while hating the company behind it, and I would spazz if D.Va got into Smash. And I'm sure others would do the same for Rayman.
Darth Vader, though it's a way out-there wish considering Sakurai more or less already ruled out "fourth-party" characters.
In terms of video game characters, I'd really like to see someone from Overwatch, especially if they follow the Min Min/Pythra model and add D.Va rather than Tracer.
He basically respects that other ppl enjoy the game and explains why it doesn't work in terms of his views on RPG mechanics so it isn't as bad as one would assume
I don't think he said that Palu/Bayo would be starter characters. I think he just said that they were the only characters that would possibly survive Galeem's attack. Also if Mario were the starter character, you could easily make an argument for him.
Agreed about previous games (yes Smash 64...
YouTuber RelaxAlax did a video explaining how he found the Wii U/3DS era of Mario games to be bland (if not outright "bad") compared to the rest of the series, and toned down for a younger/more casual audience.
Thoughts? I remember not being fond of this era at all, which made it sting even...
tbqh I think 70% is a bit far, if 70% is Mario-related then there'd be no doubt that it'd be a spinoff (and the oblivious boomers who call it a "Meh-rio" game would be right). It's more like Mario gets 15% while other franchises get between 2% and 10% of the content. Also remember that it's 14...
True, I've gone through a lot of the content and they do make it pretty explicit. What's weird and hilarious is that the wiki goes so far as to have articles for individual episodes of the memetastic DKC cartoon, and you could make an argument that each of those has as much to do with Mario as...
That's a good point, I was under the impression that they were a bunch of wikis trying to synergize and cover most Nintendo content.
It does give the impression that the wiki does treat it as a Mario spinoff though. I know there are already measures in place to make it clear this isn't the...
Is there a current consensus on this? My main issue isn't really that MarioWiki has all this Smash content, but that other wikis don't. It gives the impression that it's a Mario spinoff in particular and that it presides/dominates over all other franchises within Smash (when that's not Sakurai's...
Now with the whole discussion around Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, I wonder if Encyclopedia Spongebobia will take a page out of this wiki's book and start creating articles for Powdered Toast Man and Korra.
Come to think of it, has there been a consensus on condensing/adding/removing the Smash...
Nah, in the bad timeline it would have been Byleth and Rex. Edelgard is REALLY popular and I think the FE3H character announcement would have gone over much better if they added her instead of Byleth (even if it ended up favoring one house over the others). I theorize that Pyra and Mythra were...
I've done about 5-6 cosplays from this game but the only ones that stuck are Zero Suit Samus and to a lesser extent Pokémon Trainer.
Something relevant to Mario, one of those cosplays was Peach and I did wear her again recently for TikTok but am not that fond of the cosplay bc the dress is...
Just spent a couple hours hammering out a moveset for Jin from Xenoblade Chronicles 2
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GkCiEbhWE-Jn-zLxCRpma2XvQ8-Intdo1ilr6G_moII/edit?usp=sharing
Banjo & Kazooie, Min Min and Steve are kinda boring to me, on par with Byleth.
The waifu crowd is so significant that Nintendo didn't know what was coming when they added Pyra/Mythra
Speaking of those two, I want to see Jin playable
They'd probably be the same as normal figures. The Special Edition of the game could probably come with a Joker figure as a bonus.
(Endgame is the better movie of course, but Bumblebee is more blessed because it gave us an amazing, heartfelt Transformers movie in a series that satisfied itself...
Update:
The Overwatch edition of Monopoly Gamer just came out. I was super excited for it, seeing as the Mario editions are super neat and the tokens make nice little collectibles. But the Overwatch tokens (which depict realistic humans) are really underwhelming. Whereas the Mario tokens had...
I was underwhelmed, but I'm glad that other people are happy. Honestly nothing so far has beaten Cloud's SSB4 reveal for me. Even Ridley, whose reveal I thought was awesome but somewhat predictable.
I just hope that thanks to Ultimate, K. Rool (and even possibly Banjo and Kazooie) start appearing in more Mario spinoffs. My heart would explode if they were announced for Mario Kart 9. K. Rool is somewhat likely (we got Funky Kong already), but because of Diddy Kong Racing, you can...

(As a side note: all the Toad faces end up looking like Kyubey from Madoka Magica, which is more than appropriate)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtfCijKRSCM
Basically:
You play as what LOOKS like a normal Toad, but his movement is very janky and he accelerates past the game's allowed maximum speed, causing him to randomly hop into alternate dimensions.
Every single texture in the game is replaced with...
That's why it'd be halfway between a collectible miniatures game (like HeroClix) and a board game. They wouldn't release all 70+ at once, but would have different blind-packed expansion sets.
It'd also be interesting to think of how Pokémon Trainer could work. Maybe they could release a...
Given the format of the Super Mario and Mario Kart games, and considering that there are 70+ playable characters, I have a feeling that a Smash edition of Monopoly Gamer could make for an interesting collectible miniatures game of sorts.
Granted, I haven't played Monopoly Gamer yet (I own a...
I love your choice of favorite character
If I had to pick a top 10, it would change every few days, but at this moment, it's probably as follows:
1. Wario
2. Bowser
3. Rosalina
4. King K. Rool
5. Peach
6. Mario
7. Pauline
8. Waluigi
9. Donkey Kong
10. Luigi
Bowsette should be in there...
Peach sounds quite a bit like her canon self in the American one and that makes me happy. But seriously, how hard would it have been to get Martinet to reprise his role as Mario? The British voices are even more off and are hilarious.
Oh well. It's just a bit of forgotten media narrowly aimed...
While sorting through my amiibo collection, I've had trouble deciding on a favorite Mario extended universe character out of several candidates. Other than Samus, Nintendo characters are like my children - I love them all and have so much trouble deciding which ones I love the best. Below are...
Hell, K. Rool was such a megaton reveal for Smash that I think the hype would transfer over to whatever Mario spinoff he's announced for first, even though they usually don't attract much attention apart from Kart.
Wouldn't it be Kommander K. Rool? And would he be wearing a modern military uniform or a 1800's/Napoleon sort of deal (which would end up looking similar to Kaptain)?
While not technically an alias, I'm a big fan of the Darth Vader deal he had going on in DK64, where he acted and sounded super...
I should also mention King K. Rool. As a Fire Emblem fan, I've had to deal with his absolutely horrid fanbase blaming FE (particularly Lucina and Corrin) for why he didn't get into Smash 4, and I even groaned at first when they revealed him for Smash Ultimate. But one spectacular Smash release...
Wario. When I was a young teen, I loved him for being quirky, hilarious, badass and a twisted spin on Mario. Now I just find him to be a marginally appealing character for being a walking fart joke, and not a "cool" character otherwise.
I was actually hoping for Lyn to be playable, what with the publicity she got in Warriors and Heroes. But she's yet another swordfighter. Truth be told, swords are the main weapon of Fire Emblem and all of the most popular characters are swordfighters, maybe except for Tiki, and so the "too many...
Interesting. I don't think it would be a greedy power grab, since Sakurai doesn't have power over Retro or vice versa, but it's possible that they agreed that Smash would be a bigger return for K. Rool than DKCTF. Still, the whole "K. Rool in Smash" saga is really fascinating in hindsight, what...
With the rave reception our beloved Kremling King got in SSBU, it's pretty clear that fans can't get enough of K. Rool. In the Metroid franchise, they started pushing Ridley because of his popularity (he was added to Samus Returns despite being absent from Metroid II), so do you think they'd do...
Is this game worth a purchase? I loved the Mario Party titles as a kid but recognize that their reception dwindled over the years, and apparently this title is a return to form.
And the weird thing is, I still like Waluigi a lot because his charm is based on outright weirdness (and thanks to the fandom, memes) rather than grossout humor.
I was so baffled when Monika, one of the best video game villains in recent years, was beat out by Wario in the GameFAQs Character...
