And somewhere along the way, Mario explains how he is his own grandpa?

What?  No he doesn't.  That didn't help me find the secret page at all.  I don't think it exists.

Yeah, the chanting's cool, but the cheers and gasps sound authentic (at least to me) and thus invigorating.

I'm not sure, but I think some of them might be stock sound effects.  Like, I think I heard the gasps in a movie trailer recently.

Chupperson Weird OWNED your point by pointing out one mistake!  But then his e fell over.  Nobody's perfect.

No it wouldn't!  It would just be sticking it to XBox for being so easy to copy.

Not even just the name itself?

Man, PlayStation 3 should have an expansion module that lets you play XBox games on it.  Then it would be worthwhile.

And I really don't like Melee's anymore. Summus. Mr. Game, and Watch. Ganondorf. BOW-zerr. Overall I say he sounds too much like a robot.

The way he says "stamina" sounds a little like how Popeye would say it.

In the Mario Party mini-games Mushroom Mix-Up and Hexagon Heat, sometimes I would move to the wrong platform because the flag didn't look like the platform color I thought it was.  And in Yoshi's Island, I never could tell whether I was carrying green eggs or yellow eggs.  And the tan/brown Yoshi and yellow Yoshi seemed like such subtle color variations as to be almost pointless.

I love how Mario on the box is pretty much floating while there's a shadow of a kart beneath him.

Whoa I never noticed that until now!  Usually those intentionally incorrect shadows are more obvious.

Yeah, I don't think the article was saying they WANT all those things back, just pointing out that they haven't come back.
