well in super mario bros.he wears brown style clothes,not blu and red anyone know why?

Koopaslaya · « **Reply #1 on:** June 17, 2006, 05:10:23 PM »

Sometimes, Mario gets tired of wearing the same thing.

nensondubois · « **Reply #2 on:** June 17, 2006, 06:21:18 PM »

HaaaHaaa that was funny! good one,now fire flowers are the only variant i ve seen in years.

Gee, I dunno.

Ultima Shadow · « **Reply #4 on:** June 17, 2006, 07:07:45 PM »

It was because of the technical limitations of the NES. His red and blue clothing is correct.

EDIT: Fairemaster was banned :o

The Chef · « **Reply #5 on:** June 17, 2006, 07:23:28 PM »

Mario must have a huge closet. With all the different colored overalls, like the Fireball Suit and those other colors from SSB, and the Tanooki Suit, the Frog Suit,the Hammer Bro Suit, the armors from SMRPG, the armors from M&L, the caps from SM64, the Bunny Suit and Space Suit from SML2, those outfits he wore in Qix, the Dr.Mario Suit, the ref getup from Punch-out, the tuxedo from SM All-stars, the Soccer uniform from Strikers, the tennis uniform from VB Mario Tennis, the hard hat from Wrecking Crew, and the Hawaiian shirt from SMS. That's a lot.

Kojinka · « **Reply #6 on:** June 18, 2006, 12:59:13 PM »

He's had the same basic attire for 25 years. Red hat, some other sort of red clothing, and overalls.

nensondubois · « **Reply #7 on:** June 18, 2006, 07:51:31 PM »

in donkey kong for intellevision he wears only red clothes.I think they where going to use red and blue but their technology was Vrey limited.

The Chef · « **Reply #8 on:** June 19, 2006, 07:27:55 AM »

No duh. That's the Intellivision. Of course it was limited. By the way, you seem familiar.

yoyomike · « **Reply #9 on:** June 24, 2006, 11:54:30 AM »

just think about what he has to pay for dry cleaning! :-P

MechanicalMonarch · « **Reply #10 on:** June 24, 2006, 04:15:51 PM »

Not all of his clothes have to be drycleaned. I'm pretty sure overalls and a T-shirt can go in the washer.

oldskoolplayer · « **Reply #11 on:** June 24, 2006, 05:15:10 PM »

I perfer him with the red overalls and the blue shirt. Thats just me though >.<

XD Well that's an amusing thought. Maybe that's why we never heard from Pauline again?

Mario: Pauline, could you do another load of laundry for me again? I've gotta go save the Princess again, and -

Pauline: You know what?! I'm sick and tired of staying here and doing YOUR stupid, sweaty laundry while you go out and 'save' that peach girl! THAT'S IT, MARIO! I'M LEAVING!

... Yep. The interesting scenes my twisted, bizarre mind can dream up ... X3

coolkid · « **Reply #15 on:** July 01, 2006, 02:49:29 PM »

I noticed that Mario has long sleeves in other games and in SMS he has short sleeves.Probaly because he was in a tropical paridise and Mario also "said" that in SSB:B he will wear gold Buttons on his overalls.

The Chef · « **Reply #16 on:** July 01, 2006, 03:37:26 PM »

Didn't he alwayshave gold buttons?

SushieBoy · « **Reply #17 on:** July 01, 2006, 04:00:03 PM »

No,In some games where the programers where to lazy to insert a yellow color lwft it white instead.It's true.Or sometimes in N64 games they were to lazy to make the buttons "come out" and look real.so the just colored in a yellow circle.

BP · « **Reply #18 on:** July 02, 2006, 03:16:58 AM »

It's not always laziness. There exists a thing called a technical limitation.

Luigi does it. M&L:SS, if you haven't played it there's something wrong with you.

Stapler__9_42 · « **Reply #21 on:** September 04, 2006, 10:03:59 AM »

My question would be, where did Mario get his red overalls on the few occasions he wore them?

The Chef · « **Reply #22 on:** September 04, 2006, 02:54:43 PM »

Isnt this a little old?

MaxVance · « **Reply #23 on:** September 05, 2006, 04:58:31 AM »

Yes, but it has reason. It's relevant to the topic.

Stapler__9_42 · « **Reply #24 on:** September 05, 2006, 06:53:40 PM »

After all, doesn't anyone find red overalls a bit of an unusual thing?
I guess I didn't realize how old it was when I clicked the discussion.
If you think back to the Donkey Kong days, he had red overalls, a blue shirt, and a blue mustache (Irreleant: Wow, that just got me thinking, do people ever die their mustaches?).

The Chef · « **Reply #25 on:** September 05, 2006, 07:23:04 PM »

Uh, there's a thing called 'technical limitations' man. Mario didn't actually have a blue mustache. If anything, you should go by the way he looked on the cabinet artwork.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #26 on:** September 05, 2006, 08:55:09 PM »

Actually, the cabinet artwork looks a lot different than that. I need to find a pic...

EDIT: This is it. It looks much better.

Yeah, I know about technical limitations. I was joking about him having a blue mustache, but it's just something to point out about his old look.

AbercrombieBaseball · « **Reply #30 on:** September 06, 2006, 11:24:24 PM »

Mario's always looked pretty much the same to me. I have seen the following changes though in the games I have (Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Mario Golf 64, Mario Kart Double Dash):

-Luigi seems to have a different voice each time. So does Peach, Toad, and Wario.
-Peach has a ponytail in Double Dash but not the other games.
-Yoshi gained a voice in Double Dash (which I find annoying).
-There seem to be new random characters in each game. Mario Kart Double Dash--where did all these people come from?

MaxVance · « **Reply #31 on:** September 07, 2006, 05:58:28 AM »

TMK's old splash page image seems to demonstrate it well.

1. They got different voice actors (except in the case of Charles Martinet, who is the voice of Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi. Guess he likes experimenting.)

2. The ponytail originates from Super Mario Sunshine, which Double Dash has countless references to.

3. Yoshi got that voice in Yoshi's Story on the N64.

4. You would've had to play a lot of Mario games to know who they are. Tell which ones you don't recognize and I'll fill you in.

BP · « **Reply #33 on:** September 09, 2006, 12:35:24 AM »

All the characters in MK:DD have been in previous Mario games, except Toadette. Diddy Kong technically hasn't been in any Mario games (correct me if I'm wrong, which is a moderate possibility, but it's not his debut ). I'll assume the "new" guys you mean include Birdo (originated in Doki Doki Panic, or SMB2), maybe Bowser Jr. (from Super Mario Sunshine and now a Mario game standard). About Luigi's voice, it had been kind of screwy in the past... first it's this, then it's this. Now it's like this! Oh, but now it's THHIIIIIIISSSS. Really annoying. However, it seems to be set in stone as of Luigi's Mansion in 2001. That's the voice in MK:DD. I hope the Super Smash crew know this now and finally fix it.
Now, if you want to see some random Mario characters,, take a look at Mario Golf for the 64. I never approved of a bunch of humans in the Mushroom Kingdom. I... don't even have MG. =P I don't have any sports spin-offs aside from Mario Kart, really. I'll be amazed if this shed any light at all. My head is broken today... I should probably go to sleep already.

The Chef · « **Reply #34 on:** September 09, 2006, 06:43:24 AM »

Those human characters in Mario Golf were created by Camelot. They're there because Mario Golf started out as an ordinary Golf game.

frostbite · « **Reply #35 on:** November 18, 2006, 04:13:16 PM »

You can also upload your human Mario Tennis (GB) characters into Mario Tennis 64.

Ever since Super Mario Sunshine, Peach has had a ponytail in every sport-esque game. It makes sense to me; I wouldn't want my hair getting in my face or making me hot, either.

Raccoon Sam · « **Reply #39 on:** December 14, 2006, 09:36:42 AM »

Actually the "Technical Limitations" thing is partially very wrong.
The arcade Machine the Original Donkey Kong was built-in allowed five colors per sprite. Donkey Kong had Brown, Light Brown, Very light Brown, White and transparent. Mario Could've had black mustache, even with 4 colors! Since the game had a black background, they could've colored Mario's 'stache transparent.

Kojinka · « **Reply #40 on:** December 14, 2006, 04:22:44 PM »

If they had colored it transparent, people would've probably thought his mouth was open. It makes sense that it was blue.

Eclipsed Moon · « **Reply #41 on:** December 14, 2006, 04:41:34 PM »

If his mustache were transparent, you'd get horrible problems like this:

And let's hope you don't want to change the regular hair color.

Raccoon Sam · « **Reply #42 on:** December 19, 2006, 07:51:59 AM »

SushieBoy · « **Reply #44 on:** December 19, 2006, 01:54:01 PM »

Then Mario (or Jumpman) Would be able to dodge anything.

Sapphira · « **Reply #45 on:** December 21, 2006, 04:17:02 PM »

Or they could've made it from a different perspective, then Mario would automatically be behind everything.
