These are approximations, of course:
~1/2 German
~3/8 English
~1/8 Dutch
I think I have some other stuff in there, too. But I'm definitely of Northern European descent.

Well, when I further scrutinized my results compared to Obama and Romney, I think I'm actually more similar to Romney. (If you click on the candidates and such on the results page, it compares each of your answers to theirs.)
The first time I took the test, I got Gary Johnson, then Romney, and Obama was further down the list. But then I noticed there were a LOT more questions kind of hidden in the quiz (you have to expand them), and when I answered those, my results changed.
Heh, on nearly every response, I took a third option.
Guys, post your results URL so people can compare them!

Well, this doesn't help me any, come voting time...
I only have a 4% difference in similarity between Obama and Romney? And neither is a particularly high percentage? Hrm... Yeah.
I took the test the first time with different results, but then I noticed there were a BUNCH of more questions hidden, so I retook it.

Whoa! It's Koopaslaya! We really do have some sort of Blast From the Past time warp going on! :O
You know what's funny? My MOM actually linked me this video earlier, saying how cool it was. I concur. Yes, the Epona sequence was especially amazing.

Thanks! ^_^
...No? A long time ago, I wrote down all the dialogue for Paper Mario, but I never typed it up or uploaded it or anything. At least I don't think I did.

Okay, so, I feel a little awkward reviving this (4-year-old!) topic, but I didn't think creating an entirely new topic was worth it, so...
I put the entirety of Rosalina's Storybook into an online format, for anyone interested. It contains pictures ripped from the game, as well as has the text formatted the way it appears in game, at least as closely as I could do. I thought the story was lovely and deserved to be put online somewhere.
In response to the topic at hand, I personally loved the addition of the storybook. It was unobtrusive to game-play, yet added a wonderful layer of depth to Rosalina's character, the game, and possibly the Mario universe as a whole.

Mods apparently now have the ability to change post count. "Posts" under Account Settings is a text box with the number in it, at least for me. Who knew? :o
I'd bet that's just what he's doing.

Dude, this really IS like 2005! Which was a pretty awesome year in TMK/FF history, IIRC.
Heh, Chup, are you resetting your post count whenever you post now? XD

I've been playing more Mario games lately, plus I've recently gotten more free time. I got all nostalgic about this place, and, well, here I am.
Actually, I returned to #tmk about a week ago, and it's mostly been a positive experience there. I was hesitant to "officially" return to the forums, though, so, for a little while, I've just been lurking here.
Dunno how long I'll stay or how much I'll post, but I'm back for now.
It's nice to see all these returning members! :D

The Mario Bros. were delivered via stork because they are special/significant.
Babies are not usually delivered by stork, but are born or hatched or spawned or whatever. The Mario Bros. are special, possibly even created by the Star Spirits to be delivered to their parents. Storks DO act as a baby delivery service, though, such as returning lost children and dealing with cases of adoption.
Peach's apparent idiocy and/or helplessness is an act.
It's all part of a larger scheme. She's already proven she's capable of handling herself in the RPG games and SPP.
Luigi is very conflicted when it comes to love/attraction.
The spin-off games strongly imply that he and Daisy are attracted to each other and may even be in a relationship. Yet he also appears to be attracted to Peach, considering he reacts to her the same way Mario does: hearts in eyes, blushing, etc. any time she kisses him. He's also seen pining over Princess Eclair in PMTTYD. While never really implied, there may be vague hints of attraction toward Rosalina, considering he insists Mario tell her he found a Green Star, and after 100% completion, a certain photograph (which also includes the Toad Brigade). Interpret that how you will. Luigi seems to wear his heart on his sleeve and very easily develops crushes. It may be due to low self-esteem and/or not knowing what he really wants. Poor Daisy.
Star Kids and Lumas are the same beings.
Star beings in the 3D games just are not drawn with mouths. Compare the Star Spirits' appearances in Paper Mario to Mario Party 5.
The events of SMB2 were real.
Although the ending implies the whole thing was a dream within a dream, Subcon is a real place that can only be accessed via dreaming. It's possible Luigi, Peach, and Toad experienced the same dream. Likewise, some (or all) of the creatures/characters from the game may be equally real, but also asleep in the normal reality/realm, and having the same dream. Kind of like Inception. ...Sort of.
(Oh, I guess CrossEyed kind of already covered this. In a way.)
Bowser Jr. is actually Bowser's younger self.
Bowser's already capable of traveling to the past (YIDS). He brought his younger self to the present and is raising him, with the intent of sending him back to the past after intensive training or something.
OR Bowser Jr. is a clone of Bowser.
Baby Bowser in MLPIT looks different (like Bowser Jr.) because he's older.
Clearly he's older than in YI based on how he talks, plus the Mario Bros. appear to be toddlers instead of newborns. The main physical difference he has in MLPIT is the addition of tiny horns. The bandana is what makes him look more like Jr. In YIDS, he has the same design in his game art as in MLPIT, sans bandana. It'd make sense that he'd grow horns as he ages.
The "Secret" levels in Sunshine are actually alternate Galaxies.
One of these Galaxies was in SMG2. The old Noki in Noki Bay even refers to the "Shell's Secret" as "a pathway to another world [that] has opened above [their] fair land."
Peach's Toad "Grandma" in SMRPG isn't really her grandma.
It's a term of endearment, like how many people call certain family friends "Aunt" or "Uncle". Or she's Peach's adoptive grandmother. It's possible "Grandma" is also related to Toadsworth, who's a father-like figure.
Okay, so, these last two probably belong in Mariology, but considering that thread's been inactive for over a year...
Rosalina's mother and the lost Luma's mother are the same person: Rosalina from an alternate timeline/universe.
This makes their story all the more tragic. Rosalina A reboots universe and at some point (including possibly the past) returns to her home (Mario's) planet (Universe B). The Comet Observatory is abandoned and/or destroyed and goes dormant. Eventually she marries and has two children--a son and daughter. The daughter is Universe B Rosalina. Rosalina B finds a lost Luma and they set about looking for his mother, who, ironically, was there all along. The dormant comet they find was the original Comet Observatory, which they unknowingly recreate. The Lumas they later find immediately call her "Mama" because she (her alternate self) IS their Mama. By then she had aged enough that the resemblance is clear, and they recognize her. Eventually Rosalina B reboots the universe, and, well... It becomes a cycle that endlessly repeats itself.
The Mario universe has a split timeline...
...Thanks to time-traveling. Similar to Zelda. I haven't quite figured it out, but here's a tentative split timeline I came up with for funzies.

Bowser is Jango Fett, Bowser Jr. is Boba Fett and the Koopa Kids are the Clone Troopers.The Chef basically had the same theory I do. I was even going to use the same Star Wars analogy. Great minds?
Not literally, of course. The Koopa Kids were Bowser's failed attempt to start his own Clone Wars, but they sucked so bad he now only uses them for party games. Bowser Jr. was the only one that came out right. This explains why Baby Bowser was suddenly redesigned to look like a copy of Bowser Jr. in PiT.

Thing is, I only edited two posts. One (LD's) had the F-bomb twice, and another the S-bomb. I probably should have left the S-one alone, but the double F-bomb was extreme, even if the censors picked it up. Regardless of whether or not I should've censored them, (and considering how subtly and unobtrusively I did so), people seem to be blowing it completely out of proportion and are overreacting in a very inappropriate manner.
So, I don't want to deal with it anymore. The drama, hostile environment, and abundance of profanity are some of the main reasons I left two years ago. When doing something about it is futile, and letting things be is also unpleasant, so why would I want to stay?
