I think that plot is ok of people understanding that Bowser is a misunderstood bad guy. I remember the days when I first got into the Mario Saga when I first turned 8. Bowser's ideas was to rule the mushroom kingdom, boss people around. Now since ive read Bowser's diary, I think that the only reason he is kidnapping the princess is probly not because he wants to defeat Mario, but probly just wants to marry Peach because he loves her.
Yes I know Bowser's only way to try and defeat mario is use the Peach as bait but Bowser has been beaten by Mario like say uh... over 20 times? Bowser probly just dosent want to defeat Mario and just loves the princess.
Cause remember in Mario RPG? Remember Bowser teamed up with Mario to get his castle back? Well Bowser went with Mario to go save Peach in the chapel and Mario and Bowser both rammed the door open to stop Booster from forcing Peach to marry him.
You see, Bowser helped them defeat Smithy just for his castle back but when Bowser helped he did a good deed of saving the world with the rest.
When I also beat the game, one of the stars said that Bowser will probly never stop being evil untill a loooooooooooong time. I hope Bowser dosent become Mario's friend because the rest of the plots would probly be stupid fighting someone else.
LOL, Mario's greatest rivals have also been Sonic and Crash Bandicoot. Sega teamed-up with Nintendo as Sonic will be on Game boy advance and I just say it would be cool to see Mario and Sonic team up.
One plot I really liked was the Kirby Saga plot. Kirby had a rival called King Dee Dee Dee, and you see Dee Dee Dee wasent really a bad guy, just misunderstood because he stole all of Dream Land's food cause he was greedy. Kirby fought Dee Dee Dee in many sagas but I also remember Kirby had another rival in the Kirby game for NES. (The part when Dee Dee Dee stole the star rod and told Kirby not to put it back in the fountain.)
Kirby has had that rival for years other than Dee Dee Dee, so that means the plot was 2 bad guys fighting the good guy, but they were also fighting each other. In Kirby 64, Dee Dee Dee joined forces with Kirby to defeat Dark Matter, which haunted Dream Land constantly for years.
If you also noticed, in most games when you fight a rival, and a bigger rival comes, usely you and your old rival team up to take down the big one as learning how to work together than fighting.
This method has also happend in
#1 Chrono Trigger
#2 Pokemon
#3 Mario RPG
#4 Dragon Ball Z (It was a SNES game too)
(and a few others I cant remember....)
Do you think Nintendo has to have better plots rather than Bowser kidnapping Peach all the time?
LOL, I also remember that in those old Mario cartoons, Bowser had many plots of taking over Mushroom Land. I think I know why some people think it was poor plotting because the cartoons had episodes of like Bowser doing un-important stuff like kidnapping Santa Clause, Trying to cheat in a BMX race, Trying to rule Rome, Trying to take over the moon.
I would also liked to say in that Mario episode (Stars In their eyes) remember at the end when the little green aliens used their horns to sing that song to make Bowser's space ship crash? Well I just wanted to say that the song they were blowing with their horns was the original Zelda overworld theme when, which was an interesting cameo appearance. there was nothing mentioned about zelda either in the cameo.
I am the Nintendo Master!
