Mario Chat / Re: Nintendo DK or Rareware DK

It is positively obvious that Rare Ware’s Donkey Kong has un-questionably become the dominant image.  They added a jungle style to Donkey Kong that would not have come about without their aid.  Donkey Kong would not exist today without Rare.  It was obvious that Nintendo was content with allowing Donkey Kong to remain nothing more than a King Kong parody for the Arcade and Game-Boy Platforms.  It was Rare that truly envisioned giving Donkey Kong his own story and personality.  They conveyed their ideas with some flaws and repetitiveness.  But, in truth even Mario is incredibly repetitive.

Mario Chat / The Green Mystery

« on: October 12, 2005, 09:05:15 PM »

It if commonly accepted that Luigi is not in the original version of the Nintendo classic, Super Mario 64.  But there are many questions left un-answered.

The first, and perhaps smoking gun of the Green Mystery, is the statement that Nintendo didn't have enough time to develop him.  Many people believe that that is that, and he is not in the game.  Maybe so, but does that statement not leave you with one knawing question?  How come Nintendo had the time to create a Yoshi render and not a Luigi one?  Luigi is Mario's flesh and blood brother.  There are die-hard Luigi fans from back in the 80's.  Surly Luigi would have been easier to create.

In most of the previous games, he was nothing more or less than a copy of Mario's sprites with a green color filter affect.  For a company that didn't have much time left, Nintendo had enough of it to create a complex 3D Dinosaur render of a character that was popular, but still relatively new at the time, and not enough time to create a character that is simply a color filter and has had fans sense the old-school days?  That sounds pretty inconsistent to me.

Then there is the Star in the Court Yard.  It clearly begins with the letter, "L."  I think I also see the hiragana for, "mi," on the right.  Mi starts out mimasu which means to look/see.  So perhaps it is a secret message to see Luigi after all.  For the first major Mario games in years to not have his brother, and to be left alone with a Star Grave-Marker.  Does this not strike anyone as strange?

There are countless things in Super Mario 64 that have no logical explanation.  They are simply random objects in the world.  The Twin Star Doors in the Cave and the poison box on the ship.

Is Luigi is Super Mario 64?  Why not?  Do you people recall the third eye on the back of Daisy’s head in Super Smash Brothers Melee?  That was likely not random accident.  Likely, a programmer thought it would be entertaining to put it there and see if anyone found it.  To realize the Luigi would likely be nothing more than a green, "L," graphic and a color swap, I see no reason why he couldn't have been slipped in; possibly even without the heads of Nintendo knowing.  The Green Mystery lives on.  Is Luigi in the game?  And will we ever know?
