We might as well accept it as the last one, because any game that doesn't have its creator involved almost always turns out bad.  (besides, it'd be nearly impossible to top Brawl, besides adding more characters to the mix)

I agree, and I also vote for Galaxy

I agree with both of you; SMG's final area was the most epic final area in the history of Mario.

The final castle in New Super Mario Bros is really, really cool, and all three Bowser areas in Super Mario Galaxy are AWESOME. Need I say more?

Actually, Subcon is a world that can only be accessed through dreams, so it really happened. At least, I'm pretty sure.

It's probably for the same secret reason they put gloves on Mickey Mouse.

Video Game Chat / Re: What was your first non-Mario game?

« on: February 25, 2008, 06:21:19 PM »

My first video game ever was Donkey Kong Country for the SNES, and I LOVED IT.

My first Mario game ever was Super Mario World, and I liked it a LOT.

I'd say Superball Mario from Super Mario Land. (geez, since when does Mario toss bouncing rubber balls from his hands that can kill enemies and collect coins?)

.....you see a mouse and run away screaming.

.....you won't go into pet shops anymore.

.....you keep a machine gun with you when visiting the zoo's monkey house.

.....the annoucer gets a sore throat.

.....you punch anybody who says they're Italian.

.....your controller turns to dust.

.....the game disc melts.

.....you beat the Endless Melee.

I know this debate is closed, but I'll say either Super Mario World or Super Mario Galaxy.

For me, it's a tie between Galaxy and SMB3. (the Raccoon Suit, Bee Suit, and Boo Suit are AWESOME)

Super Mario Galaxy. The Star Spin is probably Mario's best attack ever.
(plus Mario has two or three really neat special moves that aren't specified in the manual)

Mario Chat / Re: Best in series? WEEK 2: Final Boss Battles

« on: February 24, 2008, 11:08:19 PM »

(hi guys, I'm blackcat12 and this is my first post!)

My favorite final battles would be the ones in Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Sunshine, and New Super Mario Bros. The one in SM64 is fun, but way too hard. (it took me about 20 times to beat it) The ones from Paper Mario, SuperStar Saga, and TTYD are really good (especially the one in TTYD) but I don't really find them to be as fun as the platforming ones. Sure, the ones in SMG, SMS and NSMB are a bit easy, but you gotta admit they leave past platforming final battles in the dust.

I think Sunshine's battle is cool, despite what many think of it. Yeah, okay, it's wierd how it takes place on a huge hot tub. But the fight is really cool; you have to dodge Bowser's HUGE flame breath, Bowser Jr is firing a bazillion Bullet Bills from his boat, and the fight last longer then the one in SM64.

The one in NSMB is totally awesome, because it pits you against two bosses at once. The setting is really cool, the music is the best, the tension is really high, and once you see Bowser Jr fall into that pit, it feels like you've won the game, but nope, you still gotta beat a really angry Bowser. (that animation of him roaring and filling the screen with fireballs blows me away every time I see it)

The one in SMG is the best. Hands down. While it still isn't as hard as the one in SM64, it's definitely harder than any of the other platforming final battles, plus it's so much more fun. And epic. Bowser's attacks are really cool, and usually hard to avoid, the visuals are awesome, and when Mario and Bowser go flying towards the Reactor, and that choir music starts playing, my addrenelin starts rushing.

(as for my favorite retro final battles, I'd choose the ones from the SMW games)

Okay, I think I'm done ranting now.
