Soon, people will start claiming that Mario is a member of the Bloods because his hat and shirt happens to be red.

Oh wait...

This thread is now about Mario being Mexican, all because I said the heavily Mexican themed Mega Mushroom was a racial stereotype.

How is the Mega Mushroom Mexican themed? Just because the Mega Mushroom has a big spotted top it doesn't mean that it's referring to a sombrero. If you can call the Mega Mushroom Mexican themed, then you can call everything else red and yellow colored a racial stereotype.

heavily Mexican themed

Nothing about the Mega Mushroom is deliberately Mexican-themed. Its colouration is simply a homage to the yellow-and-red Super Mushrooms of Super Mario Bros., and its size refers to its gargantuan transformation capabilities. Compare:

Besides, nowhere in NSMB is it implied that the Mega Mushroom speaks Spanish or is on welfare.

Did anyone see the Brawl in the Family comic I posted? That explains it all.

I lost.

Anyway, I think Flying Mario was great. It was a P-wing-like version of the Wing Cap, I just wish it was in more places than the hub and the Gateway. On a related note: Fire Mario in SMG shouldn't have had a time limit. Often it was too short, and the place I needed to get far away..

I think the Penguin Suit is also a good idea, but maybe would have been better off as a re-color moreso than a suit (like the Fire outfit).

But how could Mario swim through extremely cold water with basic plumbers clothes?

You're not alone.

Note: My last post was, in a way, cut short, as I was posting on my Wii and abruptly had to stop for something. Anyway, to continue, I'm with BP as far as his opinion on game names (this one's in particular), but I'd like to add that despite all its issues, glaring and otherwise, I think the four-person multiplayer really is reason enough to get NSMBW. I have no problem with Super Toads and lame suits so long as this game is what it seems to be: The Mario series's answer to Four Swords.

My main beef, actually, is that both it and SMG2 are the last two console/portable Mario games with different level design and Yoshi thrown in.

How can he jog through snow drifts with basic plumbers clothes? How can he run through castles full of fire with basic plumbers clothes? How can he do all the amazing things that he does with basic plumbers clothes?
