Mario Chat / Super Mario's hero status.

« on: April 26, 2001, 08:01:16 PM »

Does anyone here consider Super Mario a superhero?

I know I do.  How many people do you know that can jump ten feet straight up, throw fireballs, and thwart fire-breathing dragons(Bowser), giant gorillas(Donkey Kong), space invaders(Tatanga), huge frogs(Wart), robots from another dimension(Smithy), and just plain-old weirdos(Wario!) on a regular basis?

I definitley consider Super Mario a superhero, what about you?

Mario Chat / Weird Theory

« on: April 14, 2001, 05:03:02 PM »

What ever happened to Pauline?  Where did this Captain Syrup come from?

You probably know what I'm going to say already but keep reading anyway.  Here's my theory:  After being ditched by Mario, Pauline got ****ed off and went after him (down the pipes that is).  She never did find Mario, and her disposition only got worse.  Eventually, she amassed a cult of followers (her gang of pirates) and started going by the alias Captain Syrup.  She ran into Wario, and, thinking that the trip down the tubes did a number on Mario's outward appearance, she started making Wario's life a living h -- uh, "heck."

Obviously this is a big load of crap, but its kind of fun to think about.  What do you think?

Mario Chat / Help me prevent a disaster. . . [if you're out there, Deezer, please read]

« on: March 25, 2001, 03:28:27 PM »

As some of you may already know, Deezer has hinted at making two additions to the character profile section.  One being Daisy, the other. . . my arch-nemisis.  Yes, Deezer is considering putting Son of Stench Waluigi in the profile section, making Waluigi part of "the group."  I can't let this happen, and as Mario fans YOU can't let this happen.  Let's take a quick look at characters that DESERVE a spot in Deezer's profile section:

1. Donkey Kong Jr.-  His story is an enigma.  Is he the son of Cranky Kong?  Is he the son of "Super" Donkey Kong?  Is he the *original* Donkey Kong Jr.?  Come on, a character as cool (and flat out confusing) as the son of Mario's original nemesis (and part of Mario's big break into videogame fame) should have a spot in the profiles, no?

2. The Koopa Kids- Yeah, all of 'em in one profile is fine, just as long as they get in somehow!  These were the bosses for two of Mario's best games, but they've just disappeared mysteriously. . . Their memory must live on Deezer!  Don't let some of Mario's coolest enemies go forgotten.

3. Kamek-  One of my personal all-time favorite characters who played a huge role in one of my all-time favorite games, Yoshi's Island.  Poor Kamek hardly gets the recognition he deserves, primarily because he was thrown out of Mario Kart 64 at the last second.  Had that not happened, we probably would've seen him reprise his role as Bowser's right-hand man in Paper Mario, but sadly, he was pushed out to make room for a stupid old hag in purple.  Again, we can't let a victim of Nintendo's weird circumstances slip away into the Purgatory/Limbo/Black-hole realm of Geno, Tatanga and Smithy.

Thanks for listening :D

ps-Daisy's fine, I don't mind if she's in there. :)

Mario Chat / Super Mario T-shirt

« on: February 05, 2001, 03:43:57 PM »

I just got this idea for a Super Mario T-shirt.  Its plain on the front, but on the back it has a picture of Mario (preferably like the one at papermario.com right now) and beneath the pic, it says something like:

"Super Mario, kicking bad-guy ass since 1981"

Of course, use of the word ass probably wouldn't fly with the fellas at Nintendo so maybe an alternative could be:

"Super Mario, duking it out with bad-guys since 1981"

And the pic and text could be made to look a little faded to give it that ever-popular "old" look.

Well, I know I'd get one. :D

General Chat / Favorite Flicks?

« on: January 22, 2001, 11:15:09 PM »

Yeah. . . I was just wondering what everybody's favorite movies are.  Off the top of my head, Ghostbusters, BeetleJuice, Blade Runner, Monty Python + The Holy Grail and The Matrix are some of my all-time faves.  How about you? :D

 "I''m-a Wario! I''m-a gonna Win!!"

General Chat / Is Kat dead?

Haven't heard from her in the longest time.  She's how I found out about this board in the first place. . .

Mario Chat / Paper Mario: Great or Crap?

« on: January 10, 2001, 10:50:36 PM »

Is anyone else anticipating the upcoming release of Paper Mario at all?  Maybe I'm just starved for another Mario adventure, but I really want to see what Nintendo has up their sleeve for this visually unique title.  I just hope they don't "pull a Yoshi's Story" on me. . .

Mario Chat / Paper Mario Predictions

« on: December 25, 2000, 01:44:36 PM »

Attention K-Mart Shoppers!

Post any and all Paper Mario predictions you have here, I wanna hear 'em!  (no posting if you've already played through it)

Personally, I'm thinking (hoping, too) that there's going to be some big, cool-looking baddies and end-bosses, and most importantly, a resurgence of hammer bros.  I'm also predicting that both Wario and the Koopa Kids will be left out. . . :[

Finally, I'd like to predict that this game will obtain underground-hit status, and, like Mario RPG before it, turns out to be one of the biggest surprises (in a positive way) on the system.

Now lets hear YOUR predictions! :D

Mario Chat / Mario Music

« on: December 03, 2000, 06:51:33 PM »

Did anyone else notice that the Bowser music in Mario Bros. 3 is kind of remixed into a new song when you first fight the King of the Koopas in Mario RPG?  Just thought that was kind of cool.

Mario Chat / Where are the brothas?

« on: December 03, 2000, 01:16:50 AM »

That's right, I want to know what the hell happened to the Hammer Bros.  They seem to have just sort of dissappeared along with the Koopa Kids and Wart into a black hole or something.

Did anyone else think these guys were cool?  They've gotta be my favorite members of the Koopa Army.  I remember waaay back when I was little, playing Mario Bros. 1 and 3 on the NES and a pair of Hammer Bros. would cross my path, almost definitely the words "Oh, s--t" were running through my mind.  Mainly becuase I wasn't quite slick (or patient) enough to out-manuever their projectiles.

Either way, I love(d) those guys (they looked really cool in Mario RPG), but they seem to be thinning out at a rather disturbing rate. . . any thoughts?

Mario Chat / "Mature" Mario?

« on: November 17, 2000, 11:12:06 PM »

I'm just wondering, what do you think of this "mature" Mario business that Mr. Miyamoto has vaguely hinted at?

Me?  I swear to God, if Nintendo goes so far as to take out that goofy Italian accent, I'll have a nervous breakdown.  I can't imagine the Brothers Mario talking without it.

Mario Chat / Centaurio

« on: November 12, 2000, 12:12:16 AM »

Everybody here knows about how Nintendo originally wanted to put in a "Centaur Mario" power-up in Mario Bros. 3, right?

Well, I was just wondering, were there ever any screenshots or concept drawings, or just plain old information about this?  It sounds pretty cool, and I always like "behind-the-scenes" sort of stuff.  Deezer?

Mario Chat / 2 Quick Super Mario World questions.

« on: November 05, 2000, 07:39:28 PM »

Alright, I just played through the Special Zone in Mario World for the first time in years.  So I was just wondering. . .

1.  On the select file screen, what do the numbers represent?

2.  Are there any other changes other than the Pirhana Plants turning to Jack-o-Lanterns, the Koopa Troopas wearing Mario Masks and Dinosaur World having an Autumn-y look to it?

Thanks to whoever clears this up for me! :)

Mario Chat / Favorite villian?

« on: November 05, 2000, 12:10:29 AM »

Well, I'm pretty new here, so I was just wondering. . .

Who's your favorite Mario villian?
