Mario Chat / Re: Mario golf toadstool tour secret characters

Yeah, Bowser Jr. diguises himself as Shadow Mario in SMS by using a hankerchief with a drawing of a mustache on it.  In Mario Golf TT, he still wears a hankerchief...but it has a drawing of Bowser's teeth on it (since Bowser Jr doesn't have any!)  I guess you can consider Jr to be the main villain of SMS because Bowser only has a minor role at the end of the game.

I believe Bowser Jr is the replacement of Bowser's Koopa Kids.  Not only is Bowser Jr in SMS and TT, but he'll also be a playable character in Mario Kart DD and Mario Party 5 (rumor)...and most likely Mario Tennis.

Oh, and I forgot to put Cheep-Cheep in the cameos list ;)

Sorry, I meant to put Best Badges.  If you get a Birdie or better in TOURNAMENT mode, then you get a badge for that specific course.  Once you received 50 of these badges, Boo gets unlocked.  The best part, you do not need to play through the entire tournament to get Badges.  You can play one course, get the badge, and quit...and you'll get to keep it.  You can check out your badge list under the Records menu.

Also, I forgot to mention the vulture in the cameos list above.  The vulture character is in the Shifting Sands course of Mario Golf TT...and was previously in DKC and the desert world of Super Mario 64.

Okay bro, here:

Bowser Jr. - Beat the 18 Hole Birdie Challenge

Boo - Get 50 Birdie Badges in Tournament Mode

Petey - Beat the three other Side Challenges (the ones in the chest with Birdie Challenge)

Shadow Mario - Beat Ring Mode completely

The credits are pretty cool too.  You must completely beat Tournament to see it.

Good luck! :)

Bowser Jr.

Bowser Jr, Boo, Shadow Mario, and Petey Piranha are the secret characters.

Here is a list of cameos: Toad, Chain Chomp, Shy Guy, Bullet Bill, Bob-omb, Piranha Plant, Para-troopa, Lakitu, Thwomp, King Bob-omb, and Whomp...and Bowser's Koopa Klown Car.  There is also a statue of Toadsworth in the Mushroom Kingdom level.  Let me know if I left anything out.

The only complaint I have with the game is that Bowser Jr IS Shadow Mario in Mario Sunshine...so how is it possible to play as both characters?!  It's just like Camelot's screw-up with the first Mario Golf where you can be Mario, Metal Mario, and Baby Mario.  Oh well.  I agree it would have been better to have Toad or Toadsworth as a unlockable extra (instead of Shadow Mario).  And since Rare was sold off to Microsoft, Diddy Kong became an official Mario character...and that is why he is in Golf TT and in Kart Double Dash.

Mario Chat / New Mario series spinoff games!

« on: August 07, 2003, 09:53:54 PM »

cube.ign.com announced today that Donkey Kong and Wario Ware are both being developed for the GameCube!
The Namco people who are working on the new Star Fox game is also working on the new Donkey Kong.
pocket.ign.com announced that THQ is licensing the old Rare GBA games...which so far includes Banjo-Kazooie and Sabrewulf in the line-up.  Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers and Diddy Kong Pilot probably aren't far behind.

So what does everybody think about these newly announced Mario spinoff games?  I'm looking forward to the crazy antics of Wario Ware!  I wonder what kind of crazy mini-games Nintendo can come up with for the GC in that game...
