The Wanderer
Localizing “Jump Up, Super Star!”
A pretty interesting read on how they came up with the lyrics.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
Mummy Woomy
That was a nice read. No surprise localizing lyrics is a huge challenge, but I'm sure happy with the results!
"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."

No, I missed that one. And I was trying to let him use all his attacks, unlike Bleck, who I was having fun simply engaging.
I spent most of this game playing as Mario, except when A) someone else's ability was necessary, B)it was the pit of 100 trials and someone else's ability was more ideal. That made me realize some things about the Character Select Forcing.
O'Chunks is a Lightning Bruiser but has a predicable pattern and relies entirely on grappling and other close up tactics. So with Mario I just avoided him and waited for openings, or in the case of the plant thing where he left few, gave him a taste of his own medicine with the throwing pixel...with Bowser that's not even a thing. His low speed and large size makes avoiding O'Chunks harder, but once I remembered Bowers can breathe fire I realized he's actually much better suited to fighting him than Mario.
Peach can't flip, but she can block all of Mimi's attacks, so she doesn't need to, and her height makes hitting Mimi on the ceiling much easier. Luigi's spring jump is also great for hitting Dimentio.
That's why he wants you to have the money. Not so you can buy 14 Cadillacs but so you can help build up the wastes
All I need to beat in Mario Odyssey now are the Koopa races, the Snow Kingdom races, that one moon on the Eastern Pillar in the Sand Kingdom, and the Dark Side Bullet Bill moons.

The Protomen enhanced my life.
Y'all want a cereal box with amiibo functionality? Not really? Well we're rumored to be getting one anyway.

So, those rabbits in Odyssey. They're mercenary wedding planners? Are there a lot of weddings where the groom kidnaps the bride in Mario's world?
Second, after clearing the Sand Kingdom it gave me the choice of going to the Lake Kingdom or the Wooded Kingdom. How many times do they give you a choice?

Mario thanks his friends for helping him in his adventures. Among the named ones, ... Peach and Pauline.
Formerly G.G.
To be fair, it wasn't stated that Peach and Mario were an item.....I think.
"I am going down a DOWNWARD SPIRAL!!"
I wouldn't read too much into this, Nintendo's never gonna make a solid statement one way or another about any ship.
... It's also generally a good idea to be friends with your SO.

Yeah, on a second thought I might have been a bit too paranoid on the context of the video. It's the kind of thing that has happened to me after being undesirably spoiled on the ending of Odissey before I even started playing it.

I found a really sweet official Nintendo series about sending letters to Mario! It has his voice actor and everything! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrM0gXWxfQo
That Mario mascot costume is absurdly cute.
For some reason on the home page of my internet, I get video game news from Rolling Stone, most of it Nintendo related.
If it still exists, put Mario on the cover! (Preferably not naked like so many other people.)

I'm guessing Mario Tennis Aces will be the first time we've seen Waluigi's hair?;){kind=small}

Luigi's Balloon World is a waste of resources, IMO.
You decide to update a primarily single-player game with a tacked-on multiplayer VS mode?
Come on, Nintendo.

I disagree that it's a waste of resources. I can see the mode pushing some players into exploring more of the regions and potentially discover things they normally would look over.
I can also see the mode encouraging players to try out some of the more advanced moves to get to harder-to-reach places.
I mean, if people have fun with it, then it's not a waste of resources.

I was kind of hoping that they would make Luigi playable instead of relegating him to this. (Though on the other hand, this is only the first major update to the game and probably not the last.)

Luigi will break the game if not being a skin...

YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.
While I'm totally okay with Luigi just being an NPC, I'd love to see how Luigi's physics would affect the movement system in Odyssey.
Snow Ghost
Probably not that much to be honest.

An oddly satisfying video that shows all four NES Super Mario games TAS-ed.... at the same time.
