Mario Discussion

Maybe they wear off over time.

@Background Pony #E9EC
And they won’t end anytime soon.

Ironically, DA hasn’t blown up with much new fanart as people feared.
In fact, there was much more Elephant Peach/Daisy art months ago when SMBW was anounced.

@DanielOrange
That would be cool. It’s funny to think Bowser will not only be the final boss, but the final level too.
(Not counting bonus/special worlds, which I bet they’ll do like all new Mario games have done.)

She’s right tho.

So did we know who Mario and Luigi’s new VA(s) is or are?

EDIT: Apparently Nintendo is tight lipped about it, and we’ll have to beat Wonder and see the credits.

It’s been a year since Mario Party 3 was announced for NSO. Where is it?

This will be Peach’s third solo game, after that Japan-only Game & Watch game and Super Princess Peach.

The new Princess Peach game looks so adorable and fun! I like the different forms she takes depending on the theater you go to, and seeing both Kung-Fu Peach amd Musketeer Peach was unexpected but cool. Shame we have to wait until March for it’s release, but I’m looking forward to it.

There sure is a lot of Mario this year and next year, aside from Super Mario Bros. Wonder getting it’s own direct we’ll be getting Mario Vs. Donkey Kong, Princess Peach: Showtime!, Super Mario RPG HD, Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon HD, Paper Mario: the Thousand-Year Door re-release, and the last Mario Kart wave with Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Pauline, and Peachette.
It truely is a great time to be a Mario fan.

Considering that “Princess Peach Showtime” takes place in a theater, I assume that Peach’s partner Stella is a reference to “A Streetcar Named Desire”.

I know somone who’ll be so excited. Despite never playing a game in their life. They’re younger than ten and has been a fan for over 16 years. Gee. I can’t imagine her excitement

Sarcasm

I’m just waiting for the fanart to recolor Musketeer Peach into a Red Mage.

@Eurvos Morgenbrise
Meanwhile I’m waiting to see someone make fanart of Peach dressed as Haru Okumura (Noir) from Persona 5

So does that make Pauline or Toadette the 4th musketeer?

Toadette as d’Artagnan and Pauline as Louis XIII.

@Dr_Osaka
All for one and one for all

@Mr.Myoozik
…and two for tea!

Two brothers who couldn’t be more different…

Ok, as someone as knowledgeable of anything old Nintendo, I gatta ask what is that Game & Watch game? I never heard of it, and I know about the Popeye and Snoopy ones.

@Beau Skunky
Apparently the game is called “Princess Toadstool’s Castle Run”, and as it turns out it wasn’t actually Japan-exclusive (this was in the US as well), they were one of three watch-based G&W games given away at McDonald’s at the time. This was in 1990, so I didn’t get one (as I was like 1-2 years old that year).

@DanielOrange
That probably doesn’t count as part of the G&W games, like the StarFox 1993 wristwatch game, or 1994 GB Donkey Kong wristwatch game. They were officially licensed, but not part of the G&W line, nor made by Nintendo directly.

@Beau Skunky
I got the info off the Mario Wiki.

So…yeah…

@DanielOrange
Odd they’re called “Game & Watch,” yet they never were on wristwatches, as far as I know. Granted, the old rectangle 80s handhelds did have a clock and alarm feature. (Which is what Mr. G&W’s bell taunts reference in SSB.)

Just realized the anniversary Super Mario & Zelda G&W systems lacked an alarm feature.

@Beau Skunky
I almost considered getting the Zelda one like I did with Mario, but I ended up deciding against it for money reasons.

@DanielOrange
Shame, it had some cool new features like the clock was interactive, and had the option to play both the Jspanese and english versions of the games.

Granted, they couldn’t do that with the Mario one, because the Japanese version of SMB1 is identicle to the english versions. (Yes, the english text was in the Japanese version, as Japanese people know some english.)

Also of all the characters announced for the final wave of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe…I was pretty much PRAYING for Diddy Kong. IDK, it just felt empty with Donkey Kong but no Diddy Kong on the list. Pauline was optional for me though.

Princess Peach Showtime really does look promising. I have a feeling it’s being developed by the same team who made the Mario Galaxy titles, 3D World, Captain Toad & Odyssey judging by the design & look of the game. It definitely has that 3D World/Odyssey look to it.
