General Mario Thread

Well, reviewers needed something to bash on between the newest Imagine title, and "Call of Gears of Halo 4"...

(I think I most likely made a new trope title...)

Are there doubles online matches in Open?

Only with friends, I believe.

EDIT: Another thing. The Mii voice in Mario Tennis Open is much much better than Mario Kart 7.

Well, I've already gotten the game, and I'm sorry Jaryl, but I did the complete opposite of what you told me: I picked up Mario Kart 7 and saved Mario Tennis Open for later .

Anyway, the game is real fun. I've already gotten up to the 100cc Star Cup, and so far, my favorite combination is Luigi+Cloud 9+Monster Wheels+Flower Glider, but I'm pretty sure it'll change as I unlock more things.

My favorite Kart Setup is the Mii, with the Tiny Tug, Roller Wheels, and Flower Glider, followed by the Pipe Frame, Roller Wheels, and Flower Glider.

Luigi + Pipe Frame + Wooden + Ghastly Glider is my favorite, with Luigi + Blue Seven + Wooden + Ghastly Glider a close second.

And the moral of this story is: Gotta love Luigi .

The Wooden Wheels, the Sponge Wheels, the Barrel Train, and the Tiny Tug look real fun, but I haven't unlocked them yet. However, I've already unlocked all of the fun Gliders IMO (The Flower Glider, the Swoop, and the Parafoil).

Should I tell my setup I used when I used to play Mario Kart Wii?

Go ahead. I favored Middleweights in that game, and among Middleweight karts, the Turbo Blooper. There's just something funny about driving a squid shaped car around .

I use middleweight Miis with the Sugar Scoot. I change my Mii around a bit, so one moment, you could be racing against Osaka (Azumanga Daioh), and another minute, it could be Beth. (Total Drama Island)

Playing through the first Paper Mario again as part of my Paper Mario series playthrough. It's still a good game after all these years, but it still has a couple of problems. For one thing, the partners in this game are rather shallow. They don't get that much development, and are more like the Pixls in terms of characterization. I do like Chapter 7 for giving you some interaction with your partners. Also, the game is horribly slow and boring in the beginning. Like action commands don't even come in until after the prologue. Something TTYD fixed. I like the amount of customization available to you in the game. You can play it however you want with all the badges available. Also, Flower Fields was a really bad chapter. What the hell were the devs thinking? It's a bad idea with really average execution, and it really felt out of place in the game, while feeling stale at the same time. Chuck Quizmo was such a tedious sidequest. Thank god they dropped that format in TTYD.

Also, fuck Twink. What an annoying little piece of shit. Still better than TEC in the 2nd game. But Twink gets punched by Bowser, and gets hit on the head a couple of times by Kammy, so that slightly makes up for such an annoying character. Slightly. Also, exploring the castle was much more fun than just trudging around the X-Naut base in TTYD. There's absolutely no tension there, and you just follow instructions by a creepy computer.

Virtual Console or Nintendo 64?

On the good ol' N64. About to start up chapter 8.

... Wow; and people say I'm negative...

My thoughts exactly, Paper Mario was much better than that. The partners may not be as developed as the TTYD ones, but they are still, funny, interesting, and likeable (Bombette FTW). I liked Flower Field. I also liked the prologue, perhaps it wasn't very "actiony", but I liked exploring Peach's Castle and talking to all the NP Cs, and I also liked the tutorial with Goompa. And exactly, what was so horrible about Twink?

I've never played TTYD, but I had so much fun playing the first Paper Mario, that I doubt it's significantly better than it. I loved telling Goombario to Tattle everyone and everything .

I had a lot of fun with Paper Mario, especially in the latter part of the game, with Shy Guy's Toy Box, Mt. Lavalava Island, and Crystal Palace. Flower Fields grew on me after a while. Finding all the recipes were fun, and Chapter 3 had awesome chase music near the end:

I kinda enjoyed Paper Mario... It was pretty much a proper send-off to the 64 Era, before the Gamecube came out.

Haven't played the Paper Mario games, meself. Yes, i am a Mario fan, who has never played Paper Mario, so burn meh.

I haven't played the Paper Mario games either, but I am looking forward to Paper Mario 3D.

Well, we should get more info very soon, with E3 coming around the corner...

Still hoping the Chain Chomp Partner is wearing cat ears, and thinks that he/she's a cat.

That would rock.

A Whomp partner would rock more.

Well she would be better then that old devia but what would her field ability be?

and you all know which partner I want to return.
