Mario Discussion

 
 
 
 

@Beau Skunky  
It also doesn’t help that the “secret of” missions tend to be a bunch of random things thrown together.

@09MurphyM
 
As well as the fact that losing FLUDD during those levels really makes the lack of moves like a long jump and backflip way more noticeable.

It would be cool if you could get the Rock Cape.
 
And have a fire rod.

@Jarkes  
You are forgetting one more secret stage called, LILY PAD OF DEATH!!!

@igotnopicks
 
Oh yeah, that one too. What about the Sand Bird?

It’s surprising how Mario despite his over 30 years of existence as franchise, still doesn’t show any sign of aging bad (IN EVERY SENSE. XD). And it is like the very first popular video game franchise ever (maybe second, Pac-Man came before it but that one is another thing, it doesn’t count much).

@Background Pony #B892  
I dunno, I’d still count Pac-Man, as he’s still quite beloved.  
Going back even further there was also Pong, but that doesn’t seem to of aged, as well for newer gamers.
 
Though, maybe not everybody would agree.  
Some hate on the NewSMB games for being “samey,” or trying to cash in on the old sidescroller’s fame/nostalgia, but regardless, honestly they’re still enjoyable games, have some new features, and some creative levels. Plus, said series revived things like the Koopalings, classic minibosses, (like Boom-Boom, or the Reznors) and gave us new & old power-ups. (Like the Raccoon Suit, and Penguin Suit.)
 
Plus, they have a more fun multiplayer experience, and no more taking turns, everybody plays simultaneously for some fun, and hilariously clumsy moments.

@Beau Skunky  
Maybe the person meant how Mario has never been under the threat of experiencing a complete reboot of the franchise.

@Beau Skunky  
Atleast everyknows that one time when Pac-Man decided to go to a new genre it didn’t work out as intended.

@09MurphyM
 
I thought it was a joke about his physical appearance.

@igotnopicks  
I actually like that game. lol

If they ever do remake Sunshine, hopefully they would tone down just how ridiculously difficult some of the Shines and Blue Coins are.

@09MurphyM  
Maybe, that game is really really overdo for a remake, or rerelease/port… I really regret not getting it back in the GameCube/early-Wii days.
 
Same for Banjo Kazooie & Tooie on N64. (Got DK64 instead, and that one GOT a rerelease on WiiU.)

@Beau Skunky
 
I had to go with emulation for the two Banjo games. Even thought I don’t support Piracy I don’t want to prevent myself some games because of some “expensive” barriers.

@Background Pony #B892  
I still wish with BK’s SSBU DLC inclusion that Microsoft will license the games for the Switch. (They did Cuphead, Minecraft, and such, after all.)

@Beau Skunky
 
Sakurai pretty much trolled everybody during that video when he said that “Banjo-Kazooie can now be played on the Xbox One”.

@Jarkes  
I kinda worry that basically deconfirms a Switch release.
 
Kinda getting back on topic, if “Super Mario 3D World” does get a Switch release, would they have to remove it’s touchscreen bonus features? The Miiverse stamps would also become useless, (now that Miiverse is dead) so what purpose could they have now? (Or should they be changed to a new item?)

@Beau Skunky  
technically they wouldn’t have to remove the touch screen part but those levels will require you to be in handheld mode

@northern haste  
Yeah, might be hard to pull it off that way, which is why I suggested that. I don’t know if NewSMBU Deluxe still offers it’s touchscreen controls frankly.

@Beau Skunky
 
No clue honestly.

So I usually hear people say Luigi is very brave because despite being afraid he pushes onwards. (Most of the time).
 
What does that make Mario? Is he not brave at all given, he rarely shows any signs of fear?
 
(Some of the rpgs have moments when he surprised/scared however)

@Marx  
I think both brothers are brave in their own different ways.

@Marx  
@Beau Skunky  
Luigi started showing that more cowardly and scared side in the canon when the original Luigi’s mansion was released. Before that, he was mostly used as a pallette swap in the 2D games.

@09MurphyM  
the All-Star version of world did give him a new sprite
