Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

[Mcmadness]

There should be more ''Super Mario Bros edition'' of games

 

[GalacticPetey]

Mario Warriors, with the attention to detail and fan service of Hyrule Warriors.

 

[Lumastar]

8-bit Weapons should return.

 

[Mcmadness]

That would be entertaining.

Roster would be the usual folks people would expect.

 

[GalacticPetey]

If we base it off of Hyrule Warriors, that's about 20 characters. Here's a mock-up.

Mario
Luigi
Peach
Yoshi
Toad
Donkey Kong
Wario
Bowser
Daisy
Birdo
Diddy Kong
Bowser Jr.
Waluigi
Rosalina
Koopa Troopa
Baby Mario
Baby Luigi
Toadette
King Boo
Kamek

Tons of room for costumes. Metal Mario, Pink Gold Peach, Dry Bowser, Mr. L, Atletic Peach and Daisy, Yoshi colors, Dark Moon King Boo, etc.

 

[Lumastar]

The babies should be a tag team. This isn't Smash, so it is actually possible and it would be awesome.

 

[Fawfulthegreat64]

I'm no Zelda geek but I think Hyrule Warriors brought back some one-offs. Hopefully Mario Warriors would do the same.

 

[Mcmadness]

Zelda is composed mostly of one offs.

Koopa troopa and toad would probably be AI soldiers

 

[GalacticPetey]

Koopa Troopa maybe, but I think Toad could warrant being an actual character.

Yeah, but Zelda has a lot of one-offs. Really the only recurring characters are Link, Zelda, Ganon, Impa, and Tingle.

Still, it would be nice for Mushroom Warriors to bring some one-offs back.

Viva Il Piantissimo!

Zelda is composed mostly of one offs.

So is Mario, if you think about it. Look at the character list on MarioWiki and try to tell me most of those characters aren't one offs.

 

[GalacticPetey]

That list I posted featured characters who have all appeared in multiple games.

Just stop.

What he meant was there are barely any recurring Zelda characters since they take place over several years with many different people as Link.

Okay, but that doesn't refute my point that the majority of Mario characters are also one-offs.

 

[Mcmadness]

Don't have to refute it, and I'm not going to.

 

[Fawfulthegreat64]

OK, so there's a good number of recurring ones. But that doesn't mean it's taboo to show a little love to the lesser-known ones.

 

[GalacticPetey]

But recurring characters should have more priority over one-offs. When you can fill a roster of 20 with just recurring characters alone, there's no reason not to.

 

[Lumastar]

Shadow Mario can be a character in a Super Mario Sunshine DLC pack that includes F.L.U.D.D. for Mario and Juice for Yoshi.

 

[Mcmadness]

Moving away from brick wall conversations, if this hypothetical game were to exist it could be used to better show case character personality through text boxes during battles.

Yesh that would be awesome.

I can imagine the weapons for these guys already.

And Baby Mario and Baby Luigi would make an awesome tag team but I also don't mind how separate they are. One of them can use a Hammer while the other can use Chain Chomp based attacks.

 

[Lumastar]

Too bad this won't apply to Mario (and possibly his brother).

 

[Mcmadness]

The babies would probably be a single entity due to their size.

 

[Ray Trace]

Well Baby Mario and Baby Luigi are about Toad or Tingle-sized, so I think they can also work separately too.

 

[Fawfulthegreat64]

All I will say about the whole recurring character argument is this: Only focusing on previously recurring characters is like taking from the poor and giving to the rich. That said, perhaps Waluigi would have something to gain out of being in a game like this so it's not too bad I guess. And Fawful isn't exactly exempt from the recurring status either, so there's that.
