post any random Mario thought on your mind

Well Mario gets treated pretty well.

Though I'd say Bowser and Luigi are treated pretty badly.
 
I don't really know how to feel about Mario since it doesn't feel like he shows much character in the Paper Mario games, especially compared to other games like Mario & Luigi or even Mario + Rabbids.
 
Solution: go back to how things were in the first 2 games, where most of the main cast was a lot better than they are now and managed to do this while sharing the spotlight with new characters, something they can't match up to even as the main focus now.

You mean the first game right? Because Luigi was always irrelevant (he spent the entire first game at home) and Bowser was pretty irrelevant for all of TTYD (the Glitzville encounter was so pointless).

I guess Paper Mario is (well, was) better at developing the usual mooks by making partners out of them whereas Mario & Luigi is better at developing the main cast.
 
Even so, I don't think the partners are that developed characters even compared to Mario and Luigi in M&L. Past their small arc that they were introduced in, they don't undergo any more development, unlike say, Huey or the Mario Bros who have moments throughout the game.

That's what I want in future Paper Mario titles. I want to see the partner characters actually undergo more development, more characterization, and have them interact with other partners. I think that would be really sweet to see.

Except they weren't. Mario hasn't changed in any of the games, Luigi is still that guy who does basically nothing and Bowser hasn't been good in any of the games since the first one.

Adding in a bunch of newbies isn't going to suddenly make what they do with the current ones any better.
 
Please make Mario interact with his partners, not make it look like they're talking to a pile of bricks.

Even if it's like how Mario & Luigi interact with each other but for some reason they have to talk in Italian gibberish while the yellow floating used urinal cake with poop feet does the arbitrary "point out what Mario and Luigi would've commented otherwise" schtick.

Thanks

So, this is interesting, this ad for the original Super Smash Bros briefly showed the promo style for the 64 era in motion, it actually looks nice.

Neat.
I still like the American version better though.
 
Many moons ago, I posted a link to a list of voices and voice actors I imagine certain unvoiced Mario characters to have. I haven't worked on that list since.

I also have to expand it because I haven't included Super Paper Mario characters, and I recently discovered the multitude of human characters from the old Golf and Tennis games.
 
This is probably more fit for the "Things you never noticed thread" but even the podium finishes in Sports Superstars seem to be taken (for the most part) from Tennis Open, which disappoints me further.
 
Baby Luigi has his own podium victory thing so who cares :3
 
i mean that was so obvious, and its the exact same with golf , the tournament animations are the same as in World Tour.

even the dialogue is the exact same lol.

Anyway.

Also i was thinking recently on how even when voiced by the same actors , some characters have changed their ''sound'' since debut and all.

specifically Luigi,Wario,Waluigi,Daisy and Peach.

i think the only major character voiced by Charles that sounds basically the same since he started is Mario lol.

Luigi used to have a deeper tone than Mario , a more manly one but then after Luigi's Mansion his voice turned like a younger and less confident version of Mario's.

Wario had a really deep and dominant voice in the early parties but in MK64 he sounded more nasal and comical. Nowadays its like a mix of that.

Nowadays Waluigi sounds nothing like he did in Mario Party 3 and specially Tennis 64, he had a more villanous voice ... now he is really nasal and goofy.

Daisy was done amazingly by Deanna Mustard in the GCN games , she sounded so fun and sassy and it was really enjoyable to listen to it, but nowadays Daisy only screams and repeats her name.

Peach had a more natural voice when she was voiced by Jen in the Golf/Tennis 64 and specially in Melee and then later on it turned in this really high pitched and girly voice that could be imitated by later actresses, similar to Sam Kelly in Brawl , she sounds very different to MKwii and her other games.

idk , i was just thinking about posting any random thought on my mind.
 
I think I was caught off guard because I didn't really see much of Tennis Open. Seriously, check Youtube, there isn't that much in-depth footage.

I recently got a copy of it which is how I learned about it in the first place.
Also the minigames are slightly sadistic
 
You should write a review for it.

all of them

the pc version is somehow the worst one

Are you playing the Deluxe version?
Because, if not, you're missing some quality voice acting

 
Oh, I am well aware. I complained about voice acting in Mario's Time Machine, but my god, it's so much worse here. Everyone is trying to do an over-the-top voice or a ridiculous accent, and when you are literally speaking to the same few characters in every city, your ears bleed until you run out of blood. I swear, the generic citizens that you talk to are actually worse than the Koopalings.

Thanks for reminding me that that one line exists.

:luigi:: Excuse me, do you know where this is?
:-*:You won't find adobe here in Nairobi, but they do have some spectacular hotels.
:luigi:: T-thanks...

There's a youtube video with that line and, listening to it and judging based only on that, I'm inclined to believe you.

Also, I just went and checked the Mistakes section you've been making (props to that btw) and woe be to the kid who decided to base their history/geography test knowledge on this game.

You know, that was exactly the line that I had in mind. It's amazing how universally bad it is.

Truly, it's up there with classics like "Welcome to Die!" or, more relevantly, everything in Hotel Mario.
