General Mario Thread

Ohh me two if i get it

Toadsworth. Toadsworth really needs to make more playable appearances. He could have been in Mario Kart 7 instead of the extremely minor Honey Queen (and Lubba or King Bob-omb or somebody else instead of Lakitu).

Lubba?

I wish they had Paratoopa I just like that he's flying. True they have Boo but he floats

I'll be waiting eagerly for Mario's Wii U escapade, but for now, i guess i'll wait for the new Paper Mario. It's amazing how much humor and color Mario adds to the RPG.

Yes, Lubba. I think he's Heavyweight material.

I saw a promo for Paper Mario when I was in Gamestop yesterday. But sadly, they didn't give out any new info. Maybe they might have something for tonight's Nintendo Direct, or we may have to wait until E3...

...Why do I like Waluigi's losing animation so much?

Is it hysterical and random like the crotch chop?

And yeah, Mario spin-offs have had really sucky rosters lately. Honey Queen, Metal Mario, Baby Peach, and Baby Daisy in Mario Kart. Luma instead of Rosalina in Mario Tennis Open... if only Nintendo listened to the fans for once...

@romanticaveman: "and both the Galaxy games (minus "The Perfect Run") are the only ones I've played from beginning to end." If you haven't beat The Perfect Run, you haven't played it to the end. As for your Ultimate Universe, screw Geno, put in Boshi! Geno doesn't even fit in as a Mario character. Also, put in Fawful.

@Wacky Pancake: Yeah, I wish Rosalina had her original voice actor as well. And DK being a cruiser while Wario is heavy is bizarre. Did anyone else notice that Peach and Daisy's voices sound a bit off in Mario Kart 7, especially Peach's?

EDIT: The definition for The Poochie has changed. I meant the old definition: The character who doesn't quite "gel" with everyone else.

About all of Waluigi's animations are hysterical! That said, I like his winning animation in Mario Tennis Open since some of it references his debut game.

Actually, he starts biting on the tennis racket in anger. But silly just the same!

If they ever make a new Mario baseball game and finally decide to make Rosalina a captain. I think I have ideas for her teammates. Though I'm not sure who to have for her cocaptain. At first I was all like there's no one who makes sense so might as well pitch my favorite character. But now I see otherwise so my candidates for her cocaptain are Vivian Lubba and Honey Queen.

• Vivian
• Luma The main members of her team. they come in normal yellow red blue and green.
• Polari well we have Toadswroth.
• Lubba the heavy hitter of the team.
• Ninja Well they were seen taking care of stars once. come in Black Red and Blue
• Honey Queen
• Penguin, just because I want to Penguin in the game and they were in a few galaxies
• Beldam
• Marilyn

SPM is so underrated it hurts.

Well at least critics loved it...not that means anything...

Seriously, one of the best storylines in a Mario game ever.

It is also one of two games that have made me tear up.

Majoras Mask.

Superman64 made my brother cry.

I hope we get or Chomp partner.

Pancake's experiences in Mario Kart 7. Today's episode: Online.

O hai guys. So I've decided to try out Mario Kart 7's online. It's fun . I've only been in random Worldwides, but I love it! (Believe it or not, it's the first time I've played a game online! ) I've noticed many things, such as people's favorite combo being Metal Mario in the B Dasher (Although the internet had already warned me about this), with there being at least one of those guys in every race. Narcissistic people also like to use their Mii's to race (). Shy Guy and Lakitu are also surprisingly popular picks.

Some characters are said to be very rare in online, but to be honest, I've already seen many "rare" characters. I've seen two Warios, one Honey Queen, one Peach, and earlier on today, another Wiggler apart from me! The only characters that I haven't seen online so far are Daisy and Donkey Kong.

What Kart setup do you use, Pancake?

I use Wiggler+Bruiser+Sponge Wheels+Flower Glider.

Reznor's back!

The miniboss from Super Mario World?

Yeppers! He shows his mug about 01:08 in the video...

If Charging Chucks don't return, I will be a sad sad man.

Do you think that the round Goombas that cannot be killed by jumping on it will be back? I really like them.

So we have two NSMB games coming this year, plus Paper and Weegee's Mansion.

CANNOT WAIT FOR PAPER AND WEEGEE.

Two NSMB games within a few months of each other seems kind of overkill though.

Aaaaaand, it looks like the same shit that we got in the past few games. Except with a really stupid gimmick that would've fit Wario more! Huzzah!

And they didn't even bother changing the art style, except for the WiiU version.
