post any random Mario thought on your mind

I would absolutely love that, I've been thinking how they could pull it off, being a fan of games that did put something like that, namely Forza Horizon 4 and Burnout Paradise. The open world doesn't necessarily needs to be large, just have enough variety and detail to it that makes it fun to explore. Diddy Kong Racing had a pretty fun hub world to just mess around in, Mario Kart could use the same.

I know in an upcoming indie racing game, The Karters 2: Turbo-Charged, they're gonna have like a test drive-like free roam debug-like map that you can just drive around in; would be fun if Mario Kart does have a test drive map that allows you to test combos or driving in different terrain or using/getting hit by items.

Luigi's Mansion is Survival Horror lol.

I don't recall any of the Luigi's Mansion games to focus on conserving your items over all-out combat though.
 
Luigi's Mansion absolutely isn't survival horror.
 
Super Mario Bros. Wonder had a great badge to make swimming levels fun, and it make underwater enemies stompable. These two additions made underwater levels much more fun than I anticipated and they ended up being my favorite 2D Mario underwater levels.

So, I was disappointed Wonder then managed to include, like, only 3 underwater level tops. I can't believe I'm saying this for a 2D Mario platformer but I really want to see more underwater levels with those two gameplay improvements at bare minimum; just make swimming bursts an actual ability, rather than a badge, you can use, like the mid-air spin.
 
One thing I've always wondered is-what happens to Bowser's minion enemies in the games after Mario kills them? Do they truly die, or is it like that one DIC Zelda cartoon and they just get whisked back to Bowser and tell them him they failed? I-really don't know. It's an intriguing thing to think about.

Going with the lore of the original Paper Mario trilogy, my guess is that they go to either the Underwhere or Overthere, though given their alignment with Bowser, most likely the former.

I guess I can accept that theory
 
I mean in games, Yoshi can eat and swallow a Shy Guy, and they remain in egg form, but Yoshi can go back to an area and that same Shy Guy will be in its place.
 
Makes sense, Castlevania has always been a niche series while Wario Land is branched off Mario.

When Castlevania came out, selling 1-2 million copies was normal (unless you were Tetris, Mario or Zelda), so I'd say it was as popular as other games for a while.

He wants to be DK but he isn't.
 
I'm surprised Baby Bowser hasn't made an appearance in the Mario Kart series yet. He is among the most iconic of the baby characters and is an actual character like Baby Mario and Baby Luigi. It might be his visual similarity to Bowser Jr. but I still find it interesting how they haven't used him as filler despite that. They could have both him and BJ in a Mario Kart game and I don't think anyone would bat an eye.

That's something I agree with DKJR FOR EXAMPLE, HASN'T BEEN HERE SINCE LIKE THE 80S ONLY TIME I HEAR REAPPEARED WAS LIKE I THINK THE LATEST MARIO KART WHICH MADE ME SO ANGRY KNOWING THAT HE HAS BEEN HERE SINCE LIKE THE 80S HE WAS LIKE IN THE TENNIS SERIES SO IS HE JUST LIMITED TO SPIN-OFFS LIKE you-know-who.

(I apologize if my words are in caps, my AutoCorrect is going nuts again)
 
Why did they never make action figures of the DIC Super Mario Bros. Super Show or Super Mario World or Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3? I think there was a serious marketing and profiting opportunity with kids (and nerds like me, except I wasn't around back then) that was missed there. They would have been a huge hit. And I think they should have made action figures of the Sonic SATAM DIC cartoon too. Kids would have LOVED those! God I wish that there were some so I could collect them! I looked on Ebay and everything and-nothing.
 
Why Don't some enemies from older mario games make a reapearance like enemies from Mario Land 1+2 it would add some variety to the games that for sure.

Bowser Jr. practically IS Baby Bowser, they have identical designs and even have identical voices, just one of them has the bandana and the other doesn't.
