Video Game Chat / Re: Diddy Kong Racing for DS

« on: May 14, 2006, 08:46:52 AM »

"It appears good old Conker has been replaced with Tiny Kong (possibly for legal issues)."

I doubt that legal issues are entirely the reason, since Conker becoming a perverted, greedy, violent, swearing drunkard wouldn't exactly look "family friendly" when paired up with Diddy again.

Tiptup, though being a Rare owned character, appears on the map.  Banjo could be removed given his confirmed Xbox 360 release (even if Tiptup shows up, he'll likely be a minor NPC like the other Banjo games), but it looks like all the other characters are safe.

And a recent update to Rare's official website describes new characters, vehicle customization, and track creation.  Pretty major additions.  Here's to hoping that Dixie Kong's one of them.

Wait, can we enter previously made sprites?  Or how long do I have to sprite a new one?

EDIT: here's an old sheet of mine if I can.  I entered it in a sprite compo on another forum.  It got an impressive vote tally of...0!

People have to remember this is Mario we're talkin' about. Mario has NO continuity. You could slap in any old DK in the games and he'll only be refered to as DK.

SuperSonic I'll automatically assume DK vine If I hear the following words: Toothy Grin, DK on Robitussen, Japan Super Happy, Yellow Dinosaur, David Wise, Arrested Development, Sockpuppets, and KISS Kong.

Besides the Toothy Grin makes DK look like a Gorilla, which is what he's supposed to be.

I'll admit, I do go to DKU.  However, I do not nessesarily beleive everything they say.   However, even before I joined, I thought DK had been progessivly getting uglier since Mario Party 4.  And I take it you haven't seen MKDS (It's hideous).  I couldn't care less if he looks more like a Gorilla.  Almond Eyes and jelly rolls would make Mario look more like a Human.

In the DKC2 SNES Manual, the description for the Plus and Minus Barrels is a Mario Reference:


"Plus and Minus Barrels

Plus and Minus Barrels are found on the different roller coaster levels.  The Plus Barrels will add time to the timer, the Minus
 Barrels will send you into the Minus World! (Uhhh...wrong game.  Actually they will take seconds away from the timer.)  When the timer runs out, Kackle will catch you!"

I would give you a scan, but my scanner is a worthless piece of...

-The Mario hat in Nintendogs (Incase nobody saw)
-In the Simpsons, Skinner mentions "before ... or Super Mario Men..."
-Not nessesarilly Mario, but on "Two & 1/2 Men", Jake can be seen playing a DS (In fact, it was the B story of two episodes!).  Unfourtunatly, he calls it a "Game Boy"
-In a game "Astrix and Oblix" (can't remember the name, based on a french comic) a group of people (Janitors, I think) all look like Mario and have a machine on their back that looks like FLUDD with exagerated features.  Also seen is a man with blue hair holding a ring (Sonic), a man with no arms or legs (Rayman) and a Ghost from Pac-man painted on a ballon, along with other Pac-man references.

Mario Chat / Re: Map of the whole Mario World

« on: June 26, 2005, 06:51:45 PM »

the closest things would be:
-the world map in SMA4
-the Paper Mario World map
-the PM2 World map
-the SMRPG map
-the (inacurate) screens in SMBDX

Sorry, but I can't supply you with them, but old mailbags contained the SMA4 and SMBDX maps.

It could be that it is part of his body, but it's a cartoony little gag.  Example: The koopas that have their shells stolen.

Strange, I read that article before and didn't know a TMK staff member wrote it.

Interesting Fact: The Mario and Yoshi RC microsizers.  Look up the official website for them.  The japanese ads can be seen in the background.
