Mario Discussion

Is it technically possible to keep Yoshi during all of Super Mario World, with the exception of boss levels?

@Background Pony #14F4  
I don’t think so, as there is a Vanilla Dome level, with a vine climb segment that basically prevents you from taking Yoshi with you further.
 
This is probably why Yoshi is only allowed in designated levels in later games.

So these were out of a recruitment book from this year:

Surprising Nintendo regarding Wart’s existence, (maybe his return in the Link’s Awakening Switch remark has given him relevance/love again.) pretty cool artwork.

It always looks weird to me whenever they try to make Mario look edgy/badass. Even with stuff like Super Mario Strikers. (Which admittedly had cool art regardless.)

@Shepherd
 
…Dude, why.

@northern haste  
I don’t think this is “real/official” (especially sense it’s obviously using edited “Super Mario Super Show” & “Captain N” footage, and internationally badly imitated voices) it’s obviously a fan-made parody, like the old Youtube Poops.
 
I’m amazed that Youtuber guy insists “it’s real,” but I guess that shows he probably isn’t aware of the shows, old YT parodies, and such.
 
I even remember a prank-caller from Ghost’s “True Capitalist Radio” show, actually used a voice clip from that parody as a prank-call during “Radio Graffiti.” (For those bronies whom don’t remember him, Ghost is probably the most hilarious “brony hater,” you’ll ever hear, and trolls used to prank his show alot playing clips, or imitating characters from MLP. He used to be popular with bronies.)

I wonder if Nintendo will try to ban Sony and Microsoft from putting the Mario movie on their movie stores

@northern haste
 
I doubt it, honestly. Despite their past, Nintendo and Sony have a pretty good relationship, and they’re quite close to Microsoft as well.

@Jarkes  
Hopefully, we will get more info on the movie soon.

@09MurphyM  
Animated movies usually take 2 years so it should start production soon if it hasn’t already

Can Mario Kart Tour run on a phone with 2.0Ghz quad-core processor?
 
I just recently bought a really cheap Nokia phone

Got around to playing Luigi’s mansion 3 yesterday. I’m up to the Ghost of Paul Blart.

@RhodieNite  
I don’t know, but mine can no longer even run Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp… (To the point, the Google Play Store tells me I can’t even redownload it, because it’s incompatible with my phone model.) The ap store should tell you if it can work, or not.
 
@Shepherd  
Coolies.

So after having downloaded it from the 3DS EShop when it came out a year ago, I have now ACTUALLY started playing the Bowser’s Inside Story remake. So far so good, and the visual and mechanics updates are very nice. …Shame it ended up being the worst-selling Mario game in overall franchise history and killed AlphaDream.

@Jarkes  
I still need to grab it.
 
I actually quite enjoyed the remake of the first game to the point where I’m unsure whether I would always play the original over it. Though Cyclone Bros in the remake requires too much mashing for excellent and the Last boss hits too hard. Last boss in the original is a lot easier I’ve found or maybe I’m rusty.

Mario was pitched as a comic book series at Archie Comics written by Ian Flynn, who is the head writer for the IDW Sonic the Hedgehog and previously worked with Archie. It was almost greenlight, but the offices at Nintendo of Japan rejected the idea despite positive feedback.  

 
It’s shame really. I always like seeing how Mario is when he has a speaking role or is in a more story driven game. He’s nowhere near as expressive as Luigi due to be marketable and all.

@Marx  
And here is Ian’s Tweet chain about it

@Marx  
@The Equestrian Zodiac  
I mentioned that before. I don’t understand why Nintendo of Japan rejected it, (especially if NOA was happy with it) sense they allow Mario in manga over there, and such. (And rather outlandish & off-model manga, I must add.) It’s kinda unfair… Do they just not trust Americans with their Mario properties anymore? (They did let Texas based Retro Studios make Mario Kart 7 though, in fairness…)
 
Though, as Ian said, he feels he did “too much drama, and not enough whimsy,” (and states, that’s not how he’d approach a Mario project today) so maybe Nintendo in Japan just doesn’t want Mario to have any drama whatsoever, and that bit about Luigi’s reluctance bothered them, and such.
 
Shame, because I actually have alot of ideas myself for an official Mario comic. Including an anniversary special chronicling “Mario’s first adventure” in his carpenter days against Donkey Kong.
 
@Jarkes  
I got it from the Eshop holiday sale back in late November/early-December for $20.
 
And a shame too, as it is very good, but I’ve never played the DS original for comparison.  
It’s interestingly, the closest thing to a “Bowser” game.
