Yoshi's a frog. Smooth skin, good jumping abilities, and long sticky tongue.

General Chat / Re: What street sign best describes you?

It's not the sign that makes no sense, it's the concept of the sign. The fact that rain is water is so obvious that it shouldn't require tax dollars to tell.

As best as I recall, the closest we've ever come to an official word on Mario's age is some 90's NOA interviews that pinned him as "middle-aged." I do think I remember NOE giving an age for Waluigi at some point, but I can't remember what it was.
But just for fun...
Daisy was around 21 in the SMB movie (the titles place her being dropped off at St. Teresa's 20 years before the movie, and she looked to be around 1 at the time), and was Luigi's love interest. According to XKCD's Standard Creepiness Rule (http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/dating_pools.png), that means Luigi must have been between the ages of 17.5 and 28 at the time. Assuming that Mario and Luigi are twins, as per Yoshi's Island, they obviously must be the same age. For Mario to look like Bob Hoskins did, their age must be toward the older end of the spectrum.
The SMB movie represents Mario and Luigi's first entrance to the Mushroom Kingdom. In current games, Mario and Luigi are very familiar with the kingdom and their reputation has become common knowledge virtually everywhere. They've probably been there for at least ten years, putting them around 35 - 40 right now. If the SMB movie were canon, that is. Of course, if it were, Bowser would be dead... though it's possible that Daisy's "You're not going to believe this" could have referred to Bowser somehow being revived in his current form, if they had ever gotten around to coming up with ideas for a sequel. But the movie's still not canon.

I'll give 3/4 of a vote to Super Mario Land and 1/4 of a vote to Yoshi's Story.

Right now I'm using this picture of every level in SMB: http://bp0.blogger.com/_CemhPnedxDU/Rr3yaSIAyxI/AAAAAAAAAFE/fULLmj1mczs/s1600-h/mario-all-1600.gif
I have the taskbar and desktop icons hidden (I use ObjectDock, which is really sweet), so it's the only thing on the screen.

From the looks of the side panel, it'll still come in a regular case. There's a little logo of a disc inside a rectangular case at the top.

I nominate Herman Smirch from the Game Boy comics series as an Assist Trophy. When he appears, he pulls out his Game Boy and Tatanga and every enemy from Super Mario Land come out. Best Assist Trophy ever.

Mario is Missing, if a soundtrack made entirely of (awesome) remixes counts.

Mario Chat / Re: Mariology (serious posts wanted)
« on: February 10, 2008, 10:53:20 AM »I noticed the third and fourth players on the SMA versions of Mario Bros. I know they're just recolors to portray players three and four, but in Mariology, has anyone ever wondered who those two guys are? I noticed that the blue one looks kind of like Luigi from the anime movie, but with the shirt and overalls colors swapped
The weird thing is that in beta shots, I'm pretty sure they had Wario and Waluigi's colors, so they apparently consciously decided against that. In the manual, they're all referred to as different colored Marios, but the green one is pretty clearly Luigi. Granted, they all have Ms on their hats on the results screen, but that could just be chalked up to anti-Luigi bias on Nintendo's part.
Anyway, I think the blue one is Stanley the Bugman.
He also resembles the second guy from the left on here:
Not sure who the yellow one is, though. Closest I've found so far is Joe from Mario Golf, and he doesn't even have a mustache.
