Demented Dragons?  And why, apparent alliterative advantage aside, do you choose to pair the most negatively-oriented adjective with Dragons?  ::raises an eyebrow questioningly::

Assuming everybody only gets a single vote, I count such:

Yoshi - 7
Kirby - 6
Wario - 1
Jr. Troopa - 1

I don't think such a villan war would work out between these two.

Sure, they'd start out fighting, but then they'd probably (through battle taunts, maybe) find out how much both of them hate the Mario brothers.  This'd lead to sort of a truce, and the two would work together and develop elaborate schemes against their Mario counterparts instead.

Of course, their similarities would probably lead them to fighting over the details of such schemes in the end, so it still might work...

Indeed, a great game series.  Great atmosphere, fiendish secrets, and a strange ability to make every new item seem like the greatest item in the game.

Too true; it's unwise to get into the habit of relying on HTML building programs.  One can do much more through a simple text editor like Wordpad or Notepad, and HTML programs generally do a very sloppy job anyway.  There are innumerable sites out there that one can use to learn HTML, or one can simply look at a page's source and apply a bit of logic.
Plus, once one learns HTML, one can look down upon others who use building programs.

In Paper Mario, sure.  But this is about Super Mario 64.

Not a kitchen in sight!  Not even a bathroom!  Just a bunch of rooms with ledges and paintings.

I find it strange that Peach was able to bake a cake in a castle that has no kitchen.

I've got a theory:

Back on the NES and SNES, everything was 2D.  Everything flat, everything relative to the scene as a whole, everything nice and happy.

Come N64, however, things became 3D oriented.  With this new world of depth, things couldn't work exactly as they did where everything is fixed size and distance on a flat plane that is the world.  One would need a perspective:  a camera, of course.  In Super Mario 64, I guess this'd be Lakitu's doing.  Everyone, of course, is familiar with the idea that "the camera adds ten pounds," and this is probably a relative amount.

Make sense?

You'd have to consider Wario a villan!  Even in the games where he's the hero, he acts villanous.

How about just a nice simple joining of the two worst Mario games as insinuated by the volume of posts in this thread here that make reference to them :

No, Mario in Super Luigi 64 is a much harder secret than just one level.

You've go to beat the 5 Bowser levels out of order (you'll need to activate the orange switch blocks early from the hidden toad in the secret room.)  You first beat Bowser in the Mud, then Bowser in the Air, then Bowser on the Roof, then Bowser Infinity, and finally Bowser in Orbit.  It's hard to do this without getting the special quadruple jump from Peach, but the five levels spell out "MARIO," so it's important to skip things to do it out of order.

Anyway, you THEN go to the "M is Real" statue, wait for five minutes, and Mario will appear.

Oh, and (unless someone else posted something before I finish this) this makes 5555 posts in the General Mario Chat forum.  Just another meaningless milestone.

Fair enough.  You can find my e-mail by either clicking on the mailbox icon above this post or the mario head icon next to it.

I also forgot to check the price aforehand!  They're still 20 coins apiece, right?
