Title: Ideas to boost mario's popularity
Post by: Supershine 986 on September 14, 2003, 12:14:07 PM
I LOVE mario games but It would be amazing to stop thinking mario is "Kiddy". I have a few suggestions to boot.

1. Bowser should not capture peach again! (That story is old)
2. Peach should change her clothes to look more modern and shorten her name to just "Peach"
3. Mario & Luigi don't always look happy and have deeper and slighly more aggressive voices, but not too much,
4. Modernise the settings a bit.
5. Have an accomplyfing Anime TV Show (Sonic has one, so why dosen't Mario?)
6. Bowser is an angry menacing dictator (Unkike his 'Sissy' apperance in Mario Sunshine
and Lucky 7. Release Mario 128 Sooner or later!

This is just opinion and I don't want him to go to extreme like they did with Conker.

Chow!

Here's one:  NO MORE PINK SKIES IN MARIO KART.  And Mario's moves are to non-judo.  He shouldn't use the FLUDD again.  He should kick and punch like in SM64...

Peach looking like she's from DOA: Beach Volleyball, Mario having his own anime T.V. show, and a mud fight against Daisy is the stupidest idea I've ever heard. Peach should wear that skirt that she wore in the N64 Mario Tennis.

Jon, that's just sick and perverted.
Geeze, what is it with guys and "babes" with skimpy clothes (and unrealistic figures, for that matter)?

That's part of the reason why I hate PS2; all of their games portray women that way. How very degrading, insulting, and offensive.

But they need to look good. Nowadays, games have girls with bigger body parts than they should have to get more money. They give girls almost nothing to wear and, well, i dunno about the guys. Me and Miyamoto are so alike. We dont like doing that junk.

Mushroom Kingdom and Sarasa Land should go into a war (not bloody violence)

Kooper's got it right. SM64 will ALWAYS be the best and they need to go back to the formula.

And give it a rest with the clothing! Peach will never look sexy no matter what she wears so shut up.

Post by: Lizard Dude on September 19, 2003, 01:04:22 PM
Stick to the Mario 64 formula? What do you think Mario Sunshine was? Eh? EH?

Also, why are you people so paranoid about human evolution? The people who admired others' bodies had more kids, and they had a good chance of doing the same, they had more kids, those kids did the same. Human sexuality, played to or not, is there. It exists. Don't run. It's not sick, or gross, or perverted. It is natural, immensely helpful, and is the only thing that kept the human race from dying out. No mating, no attraction, then no Fungi Forums. No society to think it's "sick," no underwear packages (pun intended) to admire, no beach volleyball to be popular, and most importantly to me...I wouldn't exist.

I like things that make me exist. Call me crazy.

Wow, Supershine. Those are THE worst ideas for a Mario game, since Super Mario Moonshine. The only reason Rare made Conker a "bad boy" is because at first, he was nothing more than another loser Rare character (like Banjo & Kazooie). Rare figured Banjo & Kazooie were way to childish to attract adults and older kids, so they made Conker an "older person" mascot. Mario, on the other hand, can never be an "older person" mascot. You know how long Mario has been the kids hero? 20-22 years! Look, a consle mascot has GOT to have these things in order to be a consle mascot:

1.Has to be a kid friendly character. He (or she) can NOT have violent weapons, like Master Chief. His weapons must be cute little weapons, like FLUDD.
2. The character MUST be likeable. This is one reason why Sony decided to not have Crash Bandicoot as there mascot.
3.The mascot can not be ugly. No offense to Abe, but he is way to ugly to be Xbox's mascot.

PS My idea for the next few Mario games is for Luigi to be a second playable character, just like in the old games.

Hey, I'm not saying only kids like Mario (hey, I'm about 500 years in human years. Of coarse, thats only 24 in vampiric). I'm saying, it would be stupid if he went "Conker" bad. I'm not saying I hated Conker's Bad Fur Day (I actually loved it), I'm just saying, after 20-22 years, would you really want Mario to become a bad boy? That chew a HUGE hole out of his popularity. And you have to remember: Mario is more popular and known in the U.S.A. than Mickey Mouse. 'Tiss a fact, yes!

That was 9 words.

To boost Mario's popularity, we must make Mario a gangsta! No, seriously, we should. This generation is all about da gangstas, so lets make Mario Gangsta! I already have a theme song for it:

Yo man, wuzzup foo
Gonna kick some badguy Boo.
Graffiti ova here, graffiti ova there,
King Boo gotz no underwear.

Yo dawg, we kookin this vacumm,
Get the joe on rollin

Yada yada yada...........

Um. I mean. Not a gangsta. Lets make Mario a FLUFFY WUFFY WUZZY BUNNY.


Hello kids, welcome to the FLUFFY WUFFY WUZZY BUNNY MARIO show, where the FLUFFY WUFFY WUZZY BUNNIES come out and do their FLUFFY WUFFY WUZZY BUNNY dance.

Ok, kids, let's sing to the FLUFFY WUZZY WUFFY BUNNY MARIO song! A one-two-three

"Oh fluffy bunny!
You make us happy!

and all the others in between......

We love you Mario!
We play Mario type games!
Do your Mario like homework!
Do your Mario related chores!
Do all other Mario crap like basjing your heads.......on the blocks.

We stomp on our enemies....
like FLUFFY WUZZY WUFFY BUNNY MARIOs do!
We eat lots of TOFU!
Cuz it is so healthy!

Um. Ok, maybe not that.

How bout.......MARIO ACTION!


Mario: Luigi. We must run. Ninja Bowser attack.

Luigi: But my chest hair is too sexy.

Mario: We're ALL sexy. Just look at Lizard Dude playin his Pi-A-No!

Lizard Dude: Oh ya! Bada boom Mario, baby!

Mario: Right back at ya!



Errr........naaaaa.

Maybe we should give Mario a more mature look.

Mario: Yo **********************************************************************8

Luigi: Ya you *****************************************************************8


Or, eh......


Mario: Yo mama so fat.........


Or we should try..........


Mario: Your Bowser so fat, he............


Um.


Mario: Yo Peach so fat, she...... I mean......


Ya.



But my point is, Mario is kool no matter what. All us geeks adore him. He's our hero. He looks up to us. We worship him. We have his merchandise. We talk like him, WALK like him. Dont worry about what others think. Cuz they suck man. Ya guys all know Mario's all kool. Yo eatin spagetti 'n stuff. Ya. That's the life.

So screw those Xbox people. They like war games. Heh. Ya.


Anyways.........

I hope this pc of mine doesnt delete all of this. It took me half an hour to write. Um.

I think a new Mario anime would be a grand idea (despite nintendofreaks whineing, only because he hates anime). I think Mario deserves one. Pokemon (which is still cool, despite all of you guys hating), Kirby (which fully captures "Kirbiness") and Sonic (finally, a Sonic cartoon that doesn't suck, despite the fact of Urkal still playing the voice of Sonic) all have there own anime. Why doesn't Mario? And hopefully, if they do make one, it will be a real anime, not a stupid anime wannabe, like Teen Titans or Totally Spies.

If they do make a Mario anime, it cannot go down the same path as Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh!. This is why I reject the idea of a Mario anime. They need a different stragety to make it full of action and they need to make it available in the afternoon, not just on weekends, and on a well-known cartoon channel that everyone watches.

My idea to try and boost Mario popularity is to:
Release a animated theatrical film (not like the live-action SMB move, but more or less based on the cartoon show) and have one of the episodes from SMB3 or World shown ahead (if they're willing to seriously crop, cut off and format the picture to fit the 2.35:1 screen, unless they film the main feature in 1.37:1)

They should never change Mario from who he is or what he represents.

I think I see where Sapphira was coming from--those are unrealistic expectations for women. Appreciating the human body isn't wrong, but it also isn't "natural," if you're going to go that way with it, for people to induldge too much in purient interests--sure, they make you exist, but if that's all we concentrate on, then people start to deviate--pretty soon, no one would be happy unless they had some unorthodox quirk or fetish, or they were homosexual or whathave you, and eventually reproduction would just stop!

Lol... maybe that was a bit of a stretch. But you have to have a happy medium. Happy, like Mario. Medium, like... a cheeseburger at McDonald's.

Don't change Mario, don't wish him changed. Mario is great. We see his greatness when we are fans, and he couldn't be more appealing. Change him, and he isn't "our" Mario anymore. You don't come to Mario, Mario comes to you. You're either born with it, and cultivated in it, or you'll never have it. We can't integrate people into Mario--being a Mario fan requires a certain persona, a certain way of life, a certain respect for certain things--and with all that certainty required, it would take a lot of changes to make him appeal to the swaying mass of "pop-culture": and then, would he even be Mario anymore?

"It's-a me, Mario! .. I think."

So... screw that! Never waive those withstanding blue overalls and red hat and shirt! I will never forget that on every school survey we took, my favorite color was "Mario red!" I will never forget my stopping people in the halls at school to correct the incorrect mushrooms on their Mario t-shirts! Bringing my plush, talking Mario for "stuffed animal day" in middle school!

So... [edit] that! I don't care if it gets edited!

It's more common in Japan.

I know everyone's saying it's natural to like that, but not so natural to want to see it in a Mario game. It'd surely change my opinion if they had a game like that.
