Even in Mario Sunshine, EVERYONE talked, except for Mario. Its CRAZY!
Incorrect. He speaks in the Japanese version of the game around the time of the airplane scene including, "Looks like a giant
[unintelligible]", and, "Looks-a like-a Mario's gonna have to find a job!"
I've always wondered why people say Mario talking would destroy the very fabric of Mario games... like it's some desecration or something. Or, they believe that all proponents of Mario talking would automatically mean that they want him to just jabber on and on or whatever.
I've said it many times before, and I'll say it again. Nintendo needs to stop their "silent protagonist" crap. I mean, come on, people say it's tradition, but
he talked in the Japanese version of Sunshine and not our version. Nintendo broke their own [darn] "tradition." Having Mario speak a complete sentence every now and again would be a VERY welcome addition to Mario games. You can't sit there and tell me that Mario has nothing on his mind. Everyone else, including his brother, has crap to say all the time. Also, Mario talks a ton in the Gamecube sports games. Transfer it over to the epic adventure games without screwing it up! Come on Nintendo, you're a big boy now... you can do it.
By the time Nintendo decides to have Mario speak more, Martinet will probably already have passed away.
