I like how getting a strawberry in Celeste gives you 1000 points even though there's no score counter

The castle in Paper Mario has a very similar layout to Mario 64's, but with actual useful rooms behind the doors, so I always figured the version in Mario 64 had been distorted by Bowser's magic or something.

The 2DS did.

True, but 3D was a much less substantial gimmick than hybridness, and never really caught on the way that using the Switch as both a console and handheld has so far. And it also required changing the name of the console in a way that was rather confusing to average consumers, which I'd like to think they'll try to avoid in the future.

Also on topic, I remember hearing that the console after the Gamecube would be called the Nintendo Magma or the Nintendo Go (which would have been pretty neat since it was the fifth Nintendo console and go means five).

I still say a Switch Mini would keep the joycons. I don't think they'd save enough on manufacturing to make it worth leaving out the central selling point of the console. Move the Home and Capture buttons a bit and you can cut the bottom off the joycons to make the tablet about the size of a smartphone, and it'd be about as comfortable as a non-XL DS/3DS. Maybe figure out some way to make clickable circle pads instead of sticks to make it more pocketable.

But I mean it's probably going to be a while before the Switch's architecture can be miniaturized that much and still have a decent battery life, so who knows where things'll go by then?

Pauline is at least aware of Peach's existence, because Pauline and Mario run a toy company that makes mini wind-up Peaches, but I can't think of any time they've met until now.

Mario and Luigi are identical twins, but Mario is shorter because he got squished when he fell onto Yoshi's Island

I mean I think a woman is allowed to dye her hair once or twice in a 36 year span.

Mario Chat / Re: What are the Koopas/the Koopa called in Japan?

« on: October 03, 2017, 09:04:19 PM »

The running Moai heads in Super Mario Land are called Tokotoko, which is an onomatopoeia for feet hitting the ground and probably also a pun on Nokonoko.

And SMB2 may or may not have been a dream anyway, so really all we have to go on is her working for Popple
