Yeah, I'm thrilled.  Those trees Mario's racing by?  They lack that plastic look the backgrounds had in MK64.  I missed the way everything looked bright and colorful in the original Mario Kart, and even the hills in the background had faces... sigh... Also, I'm hoping since Mario Tennis has like twenty playable characters, this installment of Mario Kart might see the light and feature more than the standard crew of eight

Daisy appeared in cartoons?  I missed that somehow.  I know she's in the comics...

By the way, looking at the new pictures of Daisy from Mario Tennis, I noticed she looks a lot less like Peach now.  Different hair, different face...  Hmm...

I read somewhere that in Japan you can buy over-the-counter painkillers that contain codeine.  If you're experiences with taking a lot of codeine, that explains alot.

Just like Peach and Daisy aren't necessarily kin, Bowser probably isn't related to Wart.  For starters, one's a dragon-turtle and one's a giant toad...

Daisy and Peach do look a lot alike, but if they were really sisters, wouldn't Daisy hang out in the Mushroom Kingdom?  I think it's just a chance resemblence, and until Nintendo gives us an official storyline where the two ladies are related, we'll all assume otherwise.  And she's not evil.

And DavidDayton, since you mention it, do you have any pictures of Captain Syrup?  Or anyone else?

Yeah, that Clawgrip business is kinda cool.  Nintendo actually decided to put in an original person.

That comment was not necessary, but thank you for the mental picture...

Anyway, the non-canon Mario games like Mario Kart, Party, Golf, and Tennis are without actual storylines, and the creators really don't care how they bend the laws of time.  Thus, they have no problems the ability of Mario to play a spot of tennis with his infant self.

Mario Chat / Re: Mario Cameos on TV

This isn't really a cameo, but...

I remember once that ABC had this special on... It was some kind of special show in front of a live audience.  Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool were on rollerskates--or, at least large-headed costumes of those characters--and the brief sketch had something to do with fighting Bowser, who played by the guy who played Mr. Belvedere.  No lie!  In the end, the brought out "plumber's helpers," little kids in Mario overalls and hats.  The entire experience was cheap and crappy and a little strange, which is remarkable that I would say that because I was probably only six or seven at the time, and my interests consisted pretty much of Mario, Legos, and juice.  Hmm...  Anyone else remember this?

I'd say Yoshi's Story took place after Yoshi's Island, because YS has Shyguys, remnants of Koopa forces running around in Yoshi's Island.

Yeah, Birdos are like Yoshis.  There are a ton of them, but we select that one Green Yoshi as _the_ Yoshi and that one pink Birdo as _the_ Birdo, who (as Mega 2 did mention) was named Catherine in Wario's Woods for no appparent reason other than to confuse the issue.

Mega 2, nope, I am going to disagree.  If Mario and Peach hooked up, wouldn't they be living in Peach's Castle?  Besides, the game refers to the couple as "Mario's Parents".  This is a small dinky-looking house in the middle of nowhere...  Besides, during the YI intro, Kamek tells the Toadies that they must find Baby Mario (not "Mario Jr.") because he will one day cause many problems for the Koopas.  Plus, Baby Mario is reunited in the end with Baby Luigi (not "Luigi Jr.")  In any case, the only information we have to say that Mario and Luigi did NOT come from the Mushroom Kingdom to begin with is in the Super Mario Bros. instruction manuel.  I'm inclined to believe YI because the SMB instruction manuel was made before Nintendo of America realized who big the brothers would become.  They screwed a lot of other things up to make the game more suitable to Americans, like changing Peach's name.

Mario Chat / Wario, Waluigi.... Warupeach?

« on: May 16, 2001, 09:53:26 PM »

I for one would like to see the evil Peach... My idea is a black haired Peach in a skanky red dress with a short skirt.  Not so much ugly like the Wario Bros. though... No elf ears, either.

Her name?  Hmm... Princess Tomato?  Princess Garlic?  Here's my friend's sugestion regarding her name: Peach's name in Japan can be written as "Piichi."  Now, since the "M" in Mario is flipped in "Wario," why not flip the "p" in "Piichi"?  And since a lower case "p" is a "b" upside-down, shall we introduce Princess Biichi?  Get it?

Hands down, the Tanooki Suit from SMB3 and the Superball Flower from SML.
