General Mario Thread

@Marioguy: Oh, dear God...

@Noob: What Magcargo man said. Mario is possibly the only work of fiction that has never disappointed me. All of the games are awesome. It's just that good. *fanboy sparkles*

I really like the Bob-omb partners, so I'd like them to return at some point.

Yeah...The main series has never let us down, with entries like Super Mario 3, 64, and GALAXY

Ooh! Ooh! I know! Do you know what partner do we need? A Shy Guy partner! Hei-ho!

I made a trio of partners... One of them was a Chain Chomp that thinks he/she's a cat. The others is a artistic Bandit, and one I made this morning is a geeky Pidgit.

-keeps on rambling- We could also have a Hammer Bro one, or a Dry Bones one, or a Monty Mole one, or a walking Piranha Plant one, or a Snifit one, or...

I want a Hammer bro

@Pancake: You're misusing tropes again. That last trope you potholed to means that I have a problem with the fact there were changes in the first place; instead of having problems with the changes themselves, which there is absolutely nothing wrong with. You act like it's wrong to have problems and issues with the series. I mean nothing's perfect, why shouldn't people have issues with something they don't like?

Mario series? I dunno, but lately, it hasn't been that good. I mean, Nintendo seems to not know what the concept of level design is anymore, and replaces them with shallow gimmicks. Course we got the Galaxy games that shows that they know what the fuck they're doing, so I don't even know. Except for the Green Stars. Fuck the Green Stars. They basically shit all over the concept of level design, and are so aggravating to get for it. I actually enjoyed The Perfect Run because it was legitimately difficult, and an actual challenge, which was a relief from the bullshit the Green Stars posed.

Perhaps I wouldn't have a problem if you didn't express yourself in such a rude, crass way.

Also, you have this annoying tendency to Accentuate the Negative in almost everything. You always comment about the bad parts yet rarely give any positives. It also seems that the newer something is, the less you like it. It not only happens with Mario, but with Pokémon too! (All the Gen V mon, are carbon copies! Grrr!). Perhaps if you weren't so nitpicky about everything you'd enjoy things more.

I don't wish to offend you with these words or start a Flame War, I'm just giving you a little piece of advice.

Bump.

Anyway, I've finally developed my idea for a Whomp partner.

His name is Lucky, but he's the complete opposite. Everything happens to him. When you first him, he's already heavily bandaged, and he just gets more and more hurt throughtout the game. As you can guess, he's a great source of Slapstick humor. He also speaks sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooowlyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. He's bigger than Mario and the other partners, but not big enough for it to become a hindrance. He also has a cane (since his left foot is bandaged and he can't walk properly) and wears an old-looking glove (Yes, only one) and hat.

In battle, his main method of attack is aproaching the foe and falling on him. If you tap a certain button just as Lucky lands on top of an enemy, more damage is done.

His out of battle ability is being used as a bridge. When there's a small gap that Mario can't jump over, Lucky can walk up to the edge and drop in a way that makes his forehead land in the other side. Mario can then happily walk over him. Just watch out for the bandage!

I also drew a picture of him, but since my art is so horrible, I won't upload it. But anyway, you liked it?

Looks good, Pancake.

Man what dos a Whomp have to go though for all that damage?

Really crappy luck . His left eye and right arm are also bandaged. Plus he has the bandage on the back that all Whomp have.

The Woobie

If you want me to, I can try to draw Lucky for you.

Seems like Paper Mario 3DS might not have partners, but I'd like a Shy Guy one if it does.

Same here

and I want a Blooper.

I want a Dry Bones! =3

And a Magikoopa!

Another Lakitu partner would be nice...

Picture removed because you guys don't know the meaning of "Don't be too harsh".

Feel free to still take a shot at him, Brocolli. It'll most likely end up looking better than the current drawing.

Actually, that looks pretty good!

Ah, that must be some concept art from the new Mario game where Mario faces terrifying horrors conjured from the darkest depths of his nightmares.

See? I told you. I'm taking the picture down.

But you're still a good artist, Pancake.

Not really. I do like drawing, though.

And now I feel like reuploading the picture, but this time I'll make it an external link◊, so whoever doesn't want to see it just doesn't click on it.

Hey now, I didn't say it was bad. Just that it... scares me. The bandaged eye and furled eyebrows make it look like an enemy from Luigi's Mansion or something.
