If nothing else, Wario Man would make a great alternate costume for Wario.

I'd like to see body armor from Goldeneye (they can say it's from TOP SECRET like they did in Melee).  Does the Metal Gear series use body armor?  Then it'd be even MORE fitting. 

Anyway, you'd pick up the body armor and by doing so, wear it (this would look especially funny on Pikachu or Kirby).  While you're wearing the body armor, your damage percentage won't go up.  However, after the armor has absorbed 25-50% of damage, it'll be destroyed.

Jeez, having to choose between Super Mario Bros. 3, World and 64 was insanely hard.  It's a good thing Yoshi's Island wasn't in there, becuase then it would have been even more difficult.

In the end, I went with SMB3.  Though in truth, I'd have to say SMB3, SMW, 64, YI, SMRPG and Mario and Luigi: SSS are probably all tied for first.  Hopefully Super Mario Galaxy will be joining that winner's circle withn the next few months...

Edit: LAME!  I didn't see an ALL option!  That would have been much more true for me than just picking SMB3.  Oh well.

Dr. Kawashima (the floating head) from Brain Age should be an item.  He can float around the screen and talk about your prefontal cortex and stuff.  The speech bubbles he produces can be used as platforms, and will get in the way of attacks.

Well, they're both Wario, so I don't see why not.  Wario is seen picking his nose and scratching his butt in official non-Wario Ware art, and even in non-Wario Ware games.

I love the game to death, but one thing that bothered me about it was the fact that the game feels... small and cramped, somehow.   I don't know if it was the number of levels or the design of the world maps, but it just doesn't feel as huge and epic as SMB3, World or 64.  Oh well, hopefully they fix that for New Super Mario Bros. 2. :)

I'd love to see all the forgotten villains rise up and form a Council of Forgotten Doom.

I think we'll see the rest of the Ware Ware crew as trophies, but not as fighters.  The series hasn't gained that much steam yet.  And yeah, I agree, classic Wario needs to be an alternate costume for biker Wario.

When pics of Dr. Mario, Falco, Young Link and Game and Watch were released before Melee came out, I'm pretty sure it was a leak instead of an official Nintendo news release. 

Here's hoping for another leak in the near feature.  :)

Mario Chat / Dream-casting for the next Mario RPG

Let's say Nintendo called you up and told you about their next Mario RPG.  They tell you that obviously it will star Mario, but it will have a multi-party member system ala the original Super Mario RPG.   But they're totally stumped on what four characters to make party members.  They also aren't sure who they want for the main villain and his/her/its sidekick.  They also need a good basic premise for the story. 

Who and what would you pick?  Would you cast characters from previous games, or new ones that you created? 

I know for a fact that I'd want Luigi and Yoshi as party members... and I'd definitely cast either Tatanga or Wario as the villain, but after that I'm not sure.  I think I'd want a couple new guys for party members... perhaps a new female character with a drastically un-Peach personality. 

Who would you cast?

I'm sorry, but I doubt some kid at GameStop knows more about Smash Bros. Brawl then, I don't know, reputed news sites like IGN, Gamestop, and TMK. 

Also, I'll cry one-thousand tears of blood if lame-ass Waluigi is playable.

Waluigi (As pointed out, if Wario's in it, why not have Waluigi?)

Because there's no such thing as Waluigi Ware.

Why is Toad mandatory?  What would his moves possibly be?  "Hey check it out, Up+B is 'Get Killed by Bowser!'"  He's already in the game as one of Peach's funnier attacks, and that's enough for me--plus it fits his persona better.  Toad's a support character, not a stand-alone hero.

Now that we've got Wario (who's technically there to support Wario Ware and not the Mario franchise) I can't see any other Mario series characters that NEED to be added.  We've got 7 (8 if you count Wario) Mario characters as is, the only other franchise that comes close is Pokemon with only 4 characters. 

The only Smash Bros. characters I'd be okay with dropping are Dr. Mario, Roy and Pichu, becuase they're clones of Mario, Marth and Pikachu, rather than truly separate characters.

Maybe they could make a small character selection box that acts as just a bunch of generic fun characters that people just wanna see.  No more than one or two special moves each.  You just scroll between them like changing costumes.  Fawful, Olimar, Toad, Dry Bones, E. Gadd, etc.  More characters could be downloaded via internet or something like that. 

Mmmm, Olimar needs to be a full-on "real" character in SBB... just imagine all the wacky Pikmin-based attacks!

I'd love to see Fawful as a trophy, but not much else.  There are a ton of Mario characters in SBB as is, we don't want oversaturation of characters from ONE franchise.

I gotta say, I hate Petey Piranha.  He's become an overused character that was not well loved to begin with.

I'm happy to say I can't forsee him surviving the GameCube era, or at least the major exposure he gets right now.  We just saw a lot of him because Nintendo was like "Whee!  Mario Sunshine everybody!!"  I wouldn't mind seeing him returning as a boss, but I think his days as a playable character in the Mario Sports/Kart series are pretty numbered. 

What's with all the Peach hate?  If she didn't get kidnapped, we wouldn't have (real) Mario games.  Plus she's hot.  ;)
