He's finally back to kick some... wait

I'm tempted to say that it was specifically on Hard where that was the case, but I don't remember if it was only on a specific mashing minigame or if it was on all of them.

On the subject of Mario Party, the next page for the series is up! It's Mario Party: Star Rush this time.

Just to clarify, the Switch V2 is the red box one.

I had a dream the other night where they released a trailer for the new Mario Kart. I don’t remember much from the dream. Only that they included a new mechanic that allowed drivers to change their trajectory while in the air drastically to avoid falling off the course. Like you have to rotate your kart manually to get the angle you want your kart to shift towards to get back on the track. Now on dream paper that might be interesting to me at least but what do you guys think?

Urgent question (I'm in the middle of editing a page): In the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 3, getting hit when not in Small Mario/Luigi would revert to the smallest state, whereas the international versions revert to the Super form. But the latter mechanic is added to all version of the game's All-Stars version, as well as in its game style in Mario Maker. My question is: Does the Japanese version of Super Mario Advance 4 use the original back-to-small mechanic or the more forgiving back-to-Super one?

Advance 4 is basically a port of the All-Stars version so I can't imagine otherwise.

I found this video of the Japanese eShop version of Advance 4, and it looks like taking a hit with a power-up simply changes you back to Super Mario. (Check around the 6:08 mark)

Why March 9th and not 10th (Mario Day)? [lol]

Anyway, I'll look forward to the trailer.

Yeah, 2pm PST is already 7am JST the next day in Japan, so Japanese fans will be awaking up on Mario Day to new trailer. 17 hour time difference and all that.

Kind of weird they'd make a big deal over than in Japan, where the day is either Sangatsu Juu (三月じゅう) or Sangatsu Tou (三月とう), or even Yayoi Tou (弥生十) if you're being really fancy and traditional.

Playing Pizza Tower, with its Wario Land influence. I’m wondering how Peppino and the others would interact with Wario and his cast from both Land and WarioWare along with the rest of the Mario universe.

I’m imagining Peppino would make an attempt on Fawful’s life the moment they meet because Fawful would remind him too much of the Noise and Pizzahead

Has the Mario series not really added many prominent characters to the main cast in recent years? I guess it has been awhile.

Main cast...

The last character added was Rosalina...in 2007.

I was really hoping for Cappy to become part of the main cast, or at the very least appear in the spin offs (imagine coming across a ghostly hat while go-karting or playing soccer)

I doubt Cappy won't be relegated to the F.L.U.D.D pile. Remember, that thing talked too.

Nintendo is seemingly allergic to fanservice. (Not talking about the sexy kind, but that too.) They never really want to make references to characters that where beloved in the past.

[up][up][up]Hmm, let's see:

Luigi - 1983

Bowser - 1985

Peach - 1985

Toad - 1988

Birdo - 1988

Daisy - 1989

Yoshi - 1990

Wario - 1992

Waluigi - 2000

Bowser Jr. - 2002

Toadette - 2003

Rosalina - 2007

So I guess it would be 2007.

Would Pom-Pom count as a significant Mario character by this point? She still turns up in a lot of places (Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Party (without Boom-Boom alongside her no less), Super Mario Maker 2, etc.) and she's only been around since 2011.

[up][up]Super Mario Bros. 1-3 + World pretty much introduced the majority of enemies we still see even today. King Boo and Petey Piranha are prob the most prominent enemies introduced after World.

Oh, I was mentioning the Koopalings as characters proper and not just bosses or enemies, considering their playability in Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros. The list would no doubt grow longer if we also included enemies (though not many new iconic enemies were introduced after 2007, so the above troper's point still stands in a way).

[up][up]Thinking about it, probably.
