*wonders whether seeing Peach and Daisy in swimsuits would have been worth seeing Waluigi in one*

Really? Huh. Well, never mind. Maybe the ending of Super Mario World would count.

Mario RPG is only 88.4%? Blasphemy!

This isn't really related to the birth thing, but I just had a thought. If we postulate that the princess's full name is Peach Toadstool (her letter in SM64 seems to indicate that), and also accept the quasi-canonical belief that Mario and Luigi's last name is Mario (based most explicitly on the movie, but also drawn from the name "Mario Bros."), then the reason Toad says "Thank You Mario" in SMB even when you're playing as Luigi is that everyone was on a last-name basis at that point, and as they got to know each other better, they started using first names (of course, you really couldn't tell with Mario).

Even if the game's not any good, which would, of course, be a travesty, at least it might increase the chances of Geno and Mallow getting in Brawl, or at least getting SMRPG on the VC.

I like that Rosalina's hair is actually blonde, in contrast to Peach's yellow.

This is mainly a bump, but may also be a potentially interesting question:
Why was Rosetta's name changed to Rosalina for the American version of Mario Galaxy? Are we going to have another name reconciliation in 10 years?

I really like them for sideways holding. Before, I would constantly be polishing the black sensor window on the left from getting fingerprints all over it. Now, it's safely out of reach, and the padding makes it a lot nicer to hold anyway.

Also, I can really appreciate how conveniently the remotes come out, after the last jackets I had would rip every time I took them off to change the batteries.

I'd really like to see the two-person karts come back as an option. If they could figure out some way to balance them (maybe only one-person karts can drag items), it'd be a really nice touch. Especially if it also included two-person motorcycles, with one in a sidecar.

Instead of a Paper Mario costume, I'd rather have a Paper Mario stage that turns all the characters on it into paper versions, like how the Game & Watch stage flattened everyone. It would take a bit more work, but it would be totally worth it to see, for example, Paper Sonic, Paper Snake, and Paper Ganondorf.

Well, there's a lot of enemies that look like Snifits...

Hmm...

So you combined Forever Forest and Boo Woods? Interesting.

I think you probably did a better job of combining SMRPG and PM than I did. The only problem I have with it is that I had always pictured Nimbus Land being closer to Bowser's Castle, partly to make the bus a more obvious solution, and partly because Barrel Volcano seems like it fits better in Bowser-type land.

Have you put much thought yet into how to make it work with the SMA4 map? It's a great map on its own, but without a Grass Land above (in some direction) a desert, an ice land above (same direction) both of them, and Dark Land to the right of up, it doesn't mesh with "canon."

Were you planning on including the other islands in SMW around Yoshi's Island, or just leaving them implied?

Also, maybe this is just hammerspace-type stuff, but the Beanbean Kingdom seems too close to Toad Town for Mario and Luigi to have to fly there, when Mario regularly covered, by this map, twice that distance by foot in SMRPG.

Mario Chat / Re: Canon, plot, style: What's your opinion?
« on: October 15, 2007, 10:07:50 PM »
Obviously, King Boo is no longer intended to be Bowser; my theory is just that that was the original intention, but they changed it when it didn't get as good a reaction as they'd hoped for.

As for Miyamoto's wishes, he works with gameplay, not plot. The Zelda games, for instance, were clearly created with complex and, often, continuous, interweaved plots, yet Miyamoto knows less about how they fit together than the average gamer, because he only focuses on making the games fun, not on making them non-paradoxical.

The light blue island is Joke's End, the one below it is Oho Oasis, and the ones to the northeast of it, between it and Dinosaur Land, are DK Island, Crocodile Island (former site; it sunk at the end of the game, IIRC), and the Northern Kremisphere, from DKC 1, 2, and 3 respectively. The island to the west of Giant Land isn't labeled, but it could be the island world from NSMB. The tiny dot to the immediate east of Giant Land is Tiny-Huge Island. The orange spot in the S. Mushroom Kingdom is Gritzy Desert, since I figured I'd already put enough desert on the north.

I don't recall whether compass directions were ever given in PM. M&L had several overworld locations named by their compass directions, such as "NW Beanbean," but I don't know whether any other game, other than Luigi's recaps of his adventures in TTYD, gave labeled compass directions. The main reason I've decided SSS and SDF should be separate is because if they're connected, the Beanbean Kingdom seems far too close to Toad Town to require the Koopa Cruiser to get there.

Here's an album with all the close-up shots I took so far: http://messiah.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2032044&l=efaee&id=55303319
