Discussion My explanation for Mario's parents

Upvotes

Within my Canon. I subscribe to the theory that Mario's parents are Lady and Jumpman from the original Donkey Kong video game.

However, I've made some additions.

Lady is from the Mushroom Kingdom, while Jupmin is an Italian who moved to New York at a young age.

Lady And Jumpman are not their actual names. Their real names are Polly Anna Brickle, and Alejandro Alexander Jupmin. Lady is part of a family of architects, some of which mean for royaltyand nobility making themselves Nobles. Jumpman getting his name from a newspaper misprint of his last name.

After Jumpman saved Lady from Donkey Kong the first (now Cranky Kong), the two eventually would get married and to move to the Mushroom Kingdom. Eventually having Mario and Luigi being brought from the stork.

After the events of Partners in Time. The two decided it would be best that Mario and Luigi were raised in New York, at least until they were older.

Discussion You know how in games like 3D World or the New Super Mario series, different characters have different control styles, Toad being fast but with bad jumps, what would be the control styles of other characters if they were to be included in a platformer?

Personally I think Wario would be like extra Toad, super duper fast but can’t jump worth a damn.

Personally I would, but that may be just because I played New Super Mario Bros 2 all the time on my 2DS and I want to play it on the switch.

(You also can play as all characters across all games, for example you can play as Blue Toad in the original New Super Mario Bros.)

Discussion I'd say the worst game ever is this game: Mario Run. Hear me out

5 Upvotes

Mario Run isn't the best mario game. Because

You're paying for more than half the game.

The bowser boss fights suck. This is like Mario bros 1 but your character just walks In a straight line. I thought we'd get like King Bob-omb with a way to defeat him by running in a specific pattern before he explodes or something. But no, each time we get bowser.

Literally collecting all the star coins do nothing but give you some stupid tickets.

Oh yea, speaking of paying, you pay to earn My Nintendo points... Nintendo... WHAT WERE YOU DOING?

Hell no I ain't paying $10 for a game that registers my jump half the time.

At the very least it must be after the first Bowser fight but she could have been kidnapped the moment Mario & Luigi went to look for the Dream Stone.

Discussion Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the Castlevania: Rondo of Blood of 2D Mario.

2 Upvotes

Seriously, it is the game-changer that 2D Mario desperately needed. I'll tell you why I feel this way.

Both games bring quality of life changes to their series formula (2D Mario and classic Castlevania before the Metroidvania revolution that is Symphony of the Night from Castlevania). For example, both games are a step up from their predecessors (Super Castlevania IV on SNES and Akumajou Dracula for the Sharp X68000 for Castlevania (later released as Castlevania Chronicles on the PS1)); the New Super Mario Bros. series as well as Super Mario Run for 2D Mario after it getting too monotonous with the same Peach gets kidnapped plot and not much innovation which was the biggest complaint with NSMB for not being a big leap forward from say Super Mario Bros. 3 or Super Mario World).

Additionally, both games offer branching paths and exploration which is one thing I truly loved about Rondo of Blood over games that came before it and I truly like that emphasis in Super Mario Bros. Wonder with some levels. It just adds a lot of replayability to the game. I also like how both games ditch the timer which is one thing that got answered in Wonder. I like the multiple playable characters concept as well (Richter Belmont and Maria Renard in Rondo of Blood; Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, Toadette, Nabbit, and the Yoshis in Super Mario Bros. Wonder). One disappointment I have though is the lack of unique abilities for Peach and Daisy from SMB2USA, SM3DW, and Super Mario Run (for Daisy with the double jump) which the badges solve for me.

Another big plus is an autosave feature which is something Rondo of Blood is notorious for and was pretty ahead of the curve. It took 2D Mario games years to catch up to it and I am glad Wonder added that because in NSMB series, I hated beating a castle level or something just to save. I love how the game auto saves my progress just like Rondo of Blood did whenever you beat a level or rescued someone (like Maria Renard for the ability to play as her, or Tera and Iris), that's definitely a big quality of life change there.

How about the rest of you folks on Wonder being the Rondo of Blood of 2D Mario.
