It's not a stupid challenge if you know how to play video games.

people are way too hard on it.

Funny that you're the one saying people are too hard on a video game.

The Hover Nozzle was most definitely NOT better than the long jump.

I meant in terms of distance.

No, I still think it's a stupid challenge, I don't think it's my abilities

The Pianta-throwing challenge wouldn't have been so irritating if Mario actually stopped moving when he, you know, stopped. Instead of hitting a wall, stopping, bouncing upward, and then continuing to move when he clears the wall and falls into the hole.

You forgot about how incredibly tacked-on Yoshi was. He can't even swim.

As for Bowser Jr., it's better him than the Koopalings. Allows for boss variety.

Are you kidding me? Bowser Jr. is one of the most stereotyped villain childs I have ever seen in my life.

I think BP doesn't appreciate the character so much as the role he plays in keeping the bosses more original rather than just reusing Koopalings.

What I don't like about BJ is that he was too recurring in NSMB. They could've easily had all 8 kids playing a role in delivering the Princess to Bowser using the "point a to point b then pass it to the next" strategy that the Yoshis used in Yoshi's Island, and there could still be a variety of original bosses.

On the subject of SMS, the poor choice in dialogue did not help the plot twist. Or Peach's character for that matter.

He hardly plays that role at all. He's used as a miniboss everywhere and is practically a carbon copy of Baby Bowser. Originality my left foot. |:[

Oh. My. GOD.

You Koopalings fans are SUCH BABIES.

You guys make me GLAD the Koopalings are dead an burried!

What he means is that less Bowser Babies make room for end-level bosses with variety. Not that BJ himself is original. Godddd, you guys twist everything, as long as it lets you get another "bring bak teh kooplingz!!!!" jab in.

Many of us would love to see the Koopalings' triumphal return simply because we've known them before Boswer Jr.. It's like hearing a terrible rendition of one of your favourite songs, which somehow ends up becoming more popular than the original version. Much like how hearing the new version would leave a particularly bad taste in your mouth, Koopaling fans can justifiably cringe at the mention of Bowser Jr.

At the risk of inciting the rage of Guns 'N' Roses fans worldwide, here's one illustration of my point.

The Koopalings VS. Bowser Jr.

To be honest, I hate both Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings.

Long live Bowser I say.

The Koopalings actually had personality! Bowser Junior is just.....a failure in my eyes

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #43 on:** March 26, 2009, 04:09:46 PM »

The koopalings never had personality! Why do people keep saying that?

The Chef · « **Reply #44 on:** March 26, 2009, 04:11:42 PM »

The only personality they really had was in official written material, such as the old NP Strategy Guide for SMB3. However, one reason I feel the Koopalings have potential is because their designs convey a lot of personality.

Despite this, both BP and Jim insist to me that "they'd just be 7 Bowser Jrs." if they were brought back.

Considering how much of a step up from the norm SMG's story was, I now want to see a plotline where the Koopalings want revenge on Bowser Jr. for taking their place as Bowser's heir.
