Personally, I love Sonic X and I'm glad that Chris is in it. Without it we would just watch cool characters without a purpose in life just walk around or play and then wait until Eggman shows up and releases a robot to do anything. The characters don't seem to have any dreams or goals in life like other characters in anime (except the hopelessly annoying but loveable Amy), so Chris was okay for me (and I hear that he is a big help in season 3). And man was the ending sad! Holy cow. But yeah, sometimes Chris gets a little too much time, and I don't like how Sonic inconsistently needs rings for power (and how no one calls Amy by her last name, Rose).
Kirby:RBAY is, IMOO, pretty predictable most of the time but for some reason I always like it that way, and look forward to seeing what our little pink friend will transform into at the end. And listening to DDD and Escargoon talk like clueless angry morons is always funny (and so are their accents, although most everyone probably hates them). But I saw one certain episode that had a certain monster that looked and acted too much like a... er, something I don't want to say here, that I haven't looked at it the same way since.
F-Zero:GP Legend, oh man! How could they? This could have been a sweet show but watered it down by taking the refuel pads and spinning attacks out of the races so we're left with nothing but boosts! Urgh! At least the stuff that happens off the track is pretty interesting.
Okay, enough with my opinions that few agree with. If I were to make a Mario anime, I would try to keep it lighthearted and not too serious since Mario is such a funny guy. And he would be the main character and everything would stay true to the games. Same characters, same enemies, same items, same attacks, some of the same music, and all the same great fun. Except I would probably throw in some crazy random stuff like in the other cartoons (but much cooler)and the characters would have to use teamwork and power-ups to defeat the enemies. And to keep it new, they might combine their powers as well (like Koopa, er... Bowser in "Super Koopa"). But let's be glad that I won't be making that, unless you're really desperate.
EDIT: I wonder if Viewtiful Joe will be cool?
EDIT II: Just got an interesting idea for a plot in a Mario anime! Maybe one day Kamek would transform all of the items in the blocks into "poison items" and Mario and Luigi would get sick and not know how. Then Toad and some other characters would have to go to Bowser's castel and face Kamek so they could steal his wand and change them back!
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. But I think we can all agree that Mario rules and that's a fact!
