Yay!  I was the same.  Let's be in a club together, penguinwizard.

There was also Peter the Wolf, but I think that was a Packard Bell thing.  Anyway, I enjoyed that one as well.

Well, Nintendo characters sometimes change their "outfits", hence Mario and Luigi's striped socks.  It's just new clothes.  As for Toad, legs are interchangeable fashion items among the mushroom people, and Toad merely doesn't want to be made fun of for not keeping up with the times.  Short legs are so last autumn.

Mario Chat / Re: Why is wall jumping/kicking so satisfying?

« on: August 09, 2008, 09:47:36 PM »

I'd be interested in finding out which wall jump everyone finds the most satisfying.  Some people raised complaints over the "difficulty" of wall jumping in SM64, but I find the possibility of failure makes a successful wall jump all the more delicious.

So, to be honest, SM64 has the best wall jump--to me at least.

Also, Phelps just got another gold medal in 400 meter medley... I didn't know there was a medley.

I hereby propose that henceforth the word of Japanese first graders take precedence over official word from Nintendo.

Just think:  In two months, Mario Kart will be out for the Wii, and this poll will be obsolete!

I voted for Mario Kart 64.  Why?  Shortcuts.

Isn't it strange that Mario's swimming is much harder to control in Mario Galaxy than it was in SM64?

I noticed that as well, with SMS--interesting considering the entire game is based on water--though I also noticed it with Galaxy.  I'll note the "forced scroll" vs. "auto scroll..."  Though now I'm wondering what "auto scroll" is if not "forced scroll."

Super Mario Land.

The only game where you piloted a sub rather than dealt with annoying water physics.

Though I don't find water physics annoying, I've gotta go with SML as well.  It's a really special level.

... Wait, do you find water physics more annoying than auto-scroll--'cause SML has that, and I tend to think that ranks a bit higher on the annoying scale.

I liked SML2 a lot, and it gets my vote for being the game where Mario takes up the greatest portion of the screen.

... A very big game for Game Boy standards--all those worlds!  My favorite had to be the hippo bubble level + outer space... wait, scratch that.  The last level was awesome.  I also enjoyed being able to save coins (up to 999) and spend them at the roulette... mound.

The tunes in Galaxy are fancy and all, but for me the answer's SMB3.

I agree with the first three... Wait.  No, just #2 and #3.  Eh, who cares?  Smash Brothers is out, and I'm just wondering what the reviews from Famitsu say.

EDIT:  Holy heck!  It got a perfect score!

Call me old-fashioned, but I've gotta go with SM64... Even though it's not that old.  Still, please call me old-fashioned.  I kind of consider it a compliment.
