Is Waluigi supposed to be bow-legged?

Firebrand102 · « **Reply #301 on:** February 11, 2006, 10:23:31 PM »

I think he is supposed to be, I mean, look at him, he just so... tall, but he looks skinny, so I doubt if he can support his own very well...

What I'd like to know is: How can a Thwomp float up there...?

I'm sure a lot of things in the Mario universe have levitation abilities, Thwomps being one of them.
Floating blocks have always intrigued me. I say magic, or something.

Yoshi mastar's second most-recent post gave an interesting insight.

Thomps are said to be stones inhabited by ghosts.

Bowser should be bigger than on that chart. The hamer bro looks kinda fat. XD

Sapphira · « **Reply #305 on:** February 11, 2006, 11:13:08 PM »

Bowser constantly changes sizes, though. Maybe that's his "standard" size, you know, without magic. (Remember in PM, how he grew? Magical powers.)

BP · « **Reply #306 on:** February 11, 2006, 11:24:11 PM »

Yeah, but he's no bigger than Petey Piranha. He was clearly larger than Petey in SMSu, but... you're right about him changing sizes. Maybe growing larger hurts him... Otherwise, he would choose to be huge all the time

I like that link to the chart on the last page. Nice!

Made me think of a question though.. How big/tall would a Lakitu and/or a Pirahna Plant be without their clouds/pipes?.. and aren't those all based on their Mario Baseball appearances?

Clark Beyer · « **Reply #308 on:** February 13, 2006, 07:40:12 AM »

Maybe piranha plants are like Petey piranha; have you seen him without a pipe?
Lakitus...I dunno. Maybe really short koopas or something.

yoshimastar · « **Reply #309 on:** February 13, 2006, 05:29:40 PM »

In SMW and Yoshi's Island you can knock a Lakitu out of his cloud.

Pirannah Plants can live without plants. It's a weapon in Super Suel Mode in MP5.

Toad · « **Reply #311 on:** February 14, 2006, 08:53:04 PM »

Oh yeah.. Pirahnas can live without pipes! It was in SMB3 first (Patooies, Chomp Weeds, and Lava Lotuses, just off the top of my head), then reappeared in Mario Party 3 (Pirahna Plant partner had no pipe).

BP · « **Reply #312 on:** February 14, 2006, 10:09:23 PM »

And in Paper Mario where they just lived in the dirt like regular plants.

yoshimastar · « **Reply #313 on:** February 14, 2006, 11:05:18 PM »

Same for Yoshi's Island.

I bet this question was asked before, but the search didn't spit out anything...

What do you think is under Shy Guys mask?

My theory: It's a shy Toadie without the ability to fly. They wear the same clothes as Shy Guys, just without the belt.
Yeah, I know, in Luigi's Mansion there wasn't anything underneath the mask except of two glowing eyes but they were just ghosts, weren't they?
On the other hand, it must be something scary, because of the trophy-sequence in Mario Power Tennis... But isn't Luigi afraid of everything? XD"
