Could Mario talk more without it being annoying?

Mario is Missing

Italian Mario sounds like a sane Wario.

Suddenly I want to go watch Italian Spiderman again.

Whar's wrong with Mario's voice ? I think it's very good.

I hope you're not referring to that Mario is Missing clip. The inane writing is just the icing of the cake.

Anyway, to cleanse ourselves from that blasphemy, here's some good examples of Mario speaking in full sentences. I'm all for a more talkative Mario if he has such quotable one-liners as these.

I'll have to admit that hearing Mario yell Sonic's name is a little bizarre though...

I think Mario's voice is funny, not annoying.

Mario could be so much more alive if he talked more.

Even a simple response to a character talking to him or a small comment on something going on in the world would be nice.

That's why I really, really like Mario Sunshine. He talked (Japanese version), and there was a story. Yeah, whoa hey, Peach got kidnapped, yeah, what else is new; however, in Sunshine it was played with a bit more and taken beyond the normal "Hey, Mahdio, when you get done with your clothes and the dishes, go save Peach cuz... she just needs some saving, aight?" storyline.

It was cinematic (much to many players' chagrin... something I still don't understand). Along with Mario talking, I don't understand why people hate the idea of a cinematic Mario game. I was gonna explain more about it, but I just realized I'm tired and don't want to explain it right now (and the for the fact I've done it a million times), so I'll do it later.

I don't have a problem with more speech, but Sunshine's dialogue was horribly written.

...Not to mention completely out-of-sync with the characters' mouth movements.

...Not to mention completely out-of-sync with the characters' mouth movements.

How do you figure? It was essentially the anime mouth open/mouth shut cycle bullcrap... maybe a half-step above it, so of course it wasn't gonna look right. I do believe, however, that the restricted movements of their mouth was kinda lazy on Nintendo's part.

Also, ask virtually anyone why they didn't like Sunshine's cutscenes/story and they'll tell you it's because Bowser's voice sucked/Peach's dialogue was retarded, all of which I kind of agree on (Bowser's voice didn't really bother me). However, people love to just file the whoooole thing under "S for Suck" for those simple, little reasons and, as a result, support banishing any type of good cinematics/etc. from Mario games forever based on Nintendo's writing decisions.

Folks seem to have this mindset that if story-telling/dialogue/cutscenes longer than 3 seconds or whatever is added to a Mario game, it automatically drastically reduces the amount and quality of gameplay or something when I feel that it enhances it and paints the story around the area you're at.
