post any random Mario thought on your mind

mario's time machine is probably the only mario game in which mario gives a backscratcher to an english-speaking hotel owner in 1824 vienna so that he can give beethoven's monocle as a reward so that it can be given to a nearsighted beethoven fanboy and music vendor so that he doesn't need to go to his appointment with his eye doctor so that he says a couple of lines about beethoven's past

i'm still unsure if this is the dumbest or the greatest

edit: added a very important detail

Sounds like Mario's Time Machine has the darkest meta-narrative of any Nintendo game : Mario must run fool's erands and surrender priceless cultural artifacts to goad easily-accessed information from terrible, broken people.
 
the biggest issue with this game is that mario is apparently violently allergic to any history books, because he travels back in time first and worries about his actual goal later, literally surfing his way through space in time without knowing even the first thing about what artifact he's carrying

and his only source of information is from random strangers who are perfectly fine with speaking a foreign language to a red-and-blue short man and telling them the entire backstory of their neighbour/resident future famous person

and you need to talk to everyone and make sure you've jotted down everything they've said; one guy literally says "hey that's obvs the shield of that famous person you should return that asap" (word-for-word what he said), but you can only return it after you've taken a quill pen from an antitheist scribe and given it to a war commander so that he can give you a random piece of his horse's equipment so that you can deliver it to the local horsemaster so that he can say far more than he should

and there's also one point where you absolutely need to return the precious artifact of an apple to isaac newton despite there being nothing special about the apple and despite newton having already done everything involving the apple and despite there already being a tree full of apples ten feet away from isaac but they don't count because they're in the background

i want to bite this apple and throw it at windows
 
There is a late box art artist named Greg Martin, who drew some memorable US-centric boxart. He mostly did Sega-related art, especially Sonic, but on occasion also did some for Nintendo systems with the third-party entries. If you want a sample of box art, here's the link: http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=117907

What I am getting at is that I would love to see how Greg Martin handles the box art of a Mario game, because I loved that style. It evokes the spirit of fun in a different (Western-centric) way. Think of the difference between the Ratchet & Clank box art between America and Japan.

Thanks for reading.
 
I imagine the Snow Brothers boxart, but just with Mario and Luigi on top of those snow people.

^lmao that Mario is Missing discussion. I need to save that somewhere.
 
So it just occurred to me lately that this artwork

actually originated in Mario Party 6 rather than New Super Mario Bros.

Geez, Mario Party deserves more credit for how often it makes great individual character illustrations that end up being associated with more mainstream games.
 
The Daisy recolor thing is STILL stupid
 
Remember that conversation about a Mario game show? Well, I think Nintendo needs to do an online multiplayer Press Your Luck.
 
I recently made Mario and Luigi's voicemail in my fanfic.

:mario: Hello! It's-a me, Mario!
:luigi: Don't forget Luigi! Please leave us a message at the tone, and we'll call you back as soon as we can. Unless your message is rude. Waluigi.
:mario: Bye-bye!

I think I may be too entertained by it.

Wow, Mario Party 6 deserves more credit. I thought it was from New Super Mario Bros. and that's one of my favourite games.
 
that crap can't compete with Mount Wario or Bowser's Castle or Dragon Driftway :babyluigi:

Any random thoughts? Okay.

Ice Ice Outpost from MK8 has the best music in all of Mario Kart.

Funny because I dislike its music.
 
The prime minister of tokyo just popped out of a giant warp pipe at the olympics closing ceremony.
 
Sometimes I feel alone when I finished playing a game when others have already moved on. For example, when I written my thoughts on Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Edition and Mario Golf: World Tour, the lack of responses made it felt like I am the only one enjoying it at the moment. It could very well be that the games don't have much to talk about anyway.

Thanks for reading.

Just wait for my possible review/comments on the Wii U version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games once I'll fully complete it (if it is really possible to fully complete it without getting insane)...
by the way, I don't have a 3DS at the moment, so unfortunately I can do little to revive those sections...

Dragon Driftway's soundtrack is the crap, actually. Y'know, how it's off-beat for, like, the entire song.
 
It's not offbeat, it's just you not liking the music

No, it's off-beat. If you listen, the electric guitar (which does not, in any circumstance, go with the Japanese setting) is about a quarter of a beat off from the rest of the music.

But it's true that I don't like it.
 
It's not a Japanese setting, it's clearly based off China, with the erhu-like instrument playing as the main melody and the Kung-Fu pose, which originated in China. Hell, there are Chinese characters in the murals that say the word "Lakitu".

And lol about the electric guitar going with the Chinese setting, not all music that uses Chinese instrumentation needs to be classical. I like the fusion-style instrumentation, combining rock and traditional Chinese instruments is an interesting combination.

If there is a quarter off-beat, then I don't hear it at all.
 
Which is better: Unique horns assigned to each character (like in Super Circuit and MK8), or unique horns assigned to each vehicle (like in Double Dash and MKWii)?
