Aside from 1-1, which level of the original Super Mario Bros. would you pick to be a Smash Stage?

Do any of you have a character in Smash who doesn’t click with you even though you know it’s a you problem.

You think the character is a good inclusion, you don’t think there’s any problem with how the character looks, you think their moveset is good, all that stuff that makes you know it’s a good character but for some reason you just feel weird about that character in Smash anyway?

For me that’s Diddy Kong.

Back in 2020 a Devinantart user by the name of evilwaluigi posted a picture he drew of a hypothetical roster for the next console Mario Kart game after Mario Kart 8. I thought it was a really good roster at the time, and going to back to see it again now, I still think it's really solid.

But what do you guys think of it? I've shared the image below. Fair warning, it's a bright picture. So prepare your eyes if you have a dark colored Smashboards theme.

What if they delisted April Fools Day as a holiday and just made April Fools something an all month long thing for the month of April like how November has No Nut November?

Team Four Star's HFIL series depicts Freiza as the equivalent of a teenage high school brat by belittling those around them in a petty way to make themselves seem superior to everyone else, yet they're also super insecure about their shortcomings. Like how Freiza can't accept the fact that his reign as emperor ended when his life did and still tries to insist he's the top dog of the universe.

As funny and as fitting as this depiction is, it is weird to think about when you know that in canon Freiza does return from the dead and even achieves a form that surpasses Goku's Ultra Instinct.

Pirating is a weird thing to categorize. Generally speaking it is a bad thing because it does hurt the companies in question. Even if they’re huge companies that make tons of money they can’t just let instances of pirating slide every once in a while because a few people on the internet think the losses wouldn’t hurt them. That’s just not how running a business works.

Yet at the same time, there are instances where pirating is kind of your only option. Like say that’s the only way you have access to a certain cartoon or anime that you want to watch. If a pirating site is the only option because it’s not available on any streaming services then there you go. Even with video games, if it’s for a system that’s been discontinued, and therefore is no longer being supported and sold by its company, then sure, emulate it. Heck, I’d even say go for it if said game on an older system is available on the digital store of a modern console.

But without question, support the product officially without resorting to pirating whenever possible. Pirating does impact them in a negative way. Even if it’s a big company the people there still worked hard on that product. Show them your support.

I see you have chosen wisdom

I used to be pretty obsessed with the idea of spiritual successors to classic game franchises that either haven’t seen a new entry in years or hit a questionable state of quality. Like how Bloodstained is the spiritual successor to Castlevania.

Nowadays I’ve lightened up on that obsession, but I do find it to be pretty neat that a lot of the classic franchises in question now have 2 really notable spiritual successors instead of just 1.

Wario Land -> Pizza Tower and Antonball

Sonic the Hedgehog -> Freedom Planet and Spark the Electric Jester

Mega Man -> Azure Striker Gunvolt and 20XX

Banjo-Kazooie -> Yooka-Laylee and Clive N Wrench

And I wouldn’t be surprised if The Messenger and Cyber Shadow could be considered spiritual successors for Ninja Gaiden, but I don’t know for sure if they would actually count.

I'm kind of afraid to ask this, but I remember one time I saw a comment praising James Rolfe by saying something along the lines of "In light of how many popular youtubers have had bad skeletons in their closets revealed, I am so happy that in all the years James has been active, the only real controversy he ever faced was people acting like idiotic jerkwads over him not wanting to see Ghostbusters 2016".

As far as I am aware that debacle of not wanting to see Ghostbusters 2016 still remains the only real controversy James has ever found himself in. Is that actually the case?

Joke Time!

Since a staple design trait of Sonic is that he never wears clothes, what’s another term for him running around?

Idea:

The next Wario Land game is also a crossover with Pizza Tower where Wario and Peppino are both the playable characters and they’ve teamed up because Peppino told Wario “You can have all the treasure. I just want to make Captain Syrup pay for sabotaging my parlor by covering all the pizza in syrup!”

Going off of my last post about games that can’t be beaten, I do know of a 3D Collectathon Platformer on the N64 where you can beat the main game, but it’s impossible to complete it at 100%

It’s called Space Station Silicon Valley and the reason it can’t be fully completed is because the programmers forgot to give one of the collectables any collision. So it’s literally impossible to pick it up.

I recently saw AVGN’s video about beating Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde and the way he had the video play out by saying he couldn’t beat the game until he learned some new tricks about it that he didn’t know before had me thinking.

Does there exist a game with an ending where it actually is completely impossible to reach that ending?

A pretty good idea I’ve seen from a couple moveset makers is putting Eevee in Smash with the ability to evolve into a single Eeveelution for the rest of the match.

But if we’re talking the idea of a character that is just straight up one single Eeveelution without Eevee or an evolution mechanic being involved, which Eeveelution would be your favorite choice?

For me it’s a tie between Vaporeon and Espeon.

A long time ago I talked about the idea of another Mario 64 remake with 4 playable characters, but this time those characters were Mario, Sonic, Crash, and Master Chief. And I mentioned how while it's a neat idea on paper, there are a few problems with actually making the idea a reality.

One of those being that Sonic's high speed would make him nigh unplayable in over half of the levels in Mario 64. To help emphasize this, here are the levels Sonic could actually be playable in. Not counting small bonus courses like Peach's Secret Slide.

Bob-omb Battlefield
Jolly Roger Bay (Debatably. It would depend on how Sonic would deal with water in Mario 64. This same thing applies to all water heavy levels in the game.)
Big Boo's Haunt
Hazy Maze Cave
Dire Dire Docks
Snow Mans Land
Wet Dry World

And that's it. Only 7 out of the games 15 main levels. 4 if you believe he couldn't be used in the water levels. All other levels, including the 3 Bowser Levels, he'd be screwed.

I mentioned in a previous post that I could think of 19 Sonic Games where the entire set of levels in said games would make great Smash stages…….

Oh what the heck.

1. Sonic 1

2. Sonic 3 & Knuckles

3. Sonic R

4. Sonic Adventure

5. Sonic Adventure 2

6. Sonic Shuffle

7. Sonic Heroes

8. Sonic Advance 3

9. Sonic Rush

10. Sonic Riders

11. Sonic 06

12. Sonic Rivals

13. Sonic and the Secret Rings

14. Sonic Rush Adventure

15. Sonic Rivals 2

16. Sonic Unleashed

17. Sonic Colors

18. Sonic Free Riders

19. Sonic Lost World

And while I’m a bit hesitant to count this one, I can also picture a point of view where Team Sonic Racing makes a good 20th pick.

I was trying to think of something to contribute to what Champion of Hyrule mentioned about deviantart ass titles and in the process, I think I came up with the opposite by thinking of something that might actually be a little clever.

Say they release remakes of Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages and the linked versions of those two games are available, but as a new game plus once you beat the unlinked versions without having to enter a code you get after beating the other game.

We could call them Oracle of Seasons: Ageless Adventure, and Oracle of Ages: Seasoned Quest.

Idea:

Nintendo has decided that saving Bowser's Castle and Rainbow Road for the last 2 courses in the Special Cup has lost it's luster now that the retro cups and dlc cups exist. That and just the general idea of repetition.

So when the next Mario Kart game comes out, they do something different for the last two special cup tracks.

I was at Target today and in the Nintendo Switch section they had a couple plushies of Banjo and Kazooie. I will admit, I was a bit surprised.

There was this one time I was watching a twitch stream and participating in the rounds of Jackbox Games that were being played.

At one point the conversation between the streamer and his co-comm went in the direction of the streamer talking about a creek with chemicals in the water that turned frogs into catgirls, and one of the answers I gave in a round of Quiplash after that mentioned the idea of throwing Kermit into that creek and turning him into a catgirl.

I got permission from another streamer to share that clip on his stream since Kermit is a notable meme in that community and in response, someone actually shared an art piece they drew of Kermit as a catgirl.

There’s an idea for your new profile pic Champion of Hyrule

A lot of people think that Dragons are one of the coolest things in fiction and I am no different.

But from a certain point of view, it's kind of ironic that I think dragons are so awesome since I have a phobia of reptiles.

At the end of Sonic Generations, Sonic tells his past self, aka Classic Sonic “Enjoy your future! It’s gonna be great!”

A number of fans responded to this when the game first came out with things along the lines of “Yeah about that.” and “Modern Sonic is a troll.”

One of the reasons I was unimpressed with this at the time was because I thought “Why can’t this just mean that Sega will knock it out of the park with the upcoming Sonic games like they did with this one?”

But considering the reception behind some of those games that came after generations? Yeah I’ll have a side of fries and a grape soda to go with those words please.

Two highly skilled warriors who are also just as skilled as each other face each other in battle with the weapons they’re highly skilled with using. One wields a double bladed axe, the other wields a scythe.

Who wins?

I hosted a stage contest once where someone submitted a really good stage of the Sand Kingdom from Mario Odyssey.

Another contestant who had submitted a stage for the Cap Kingdom before that responded to that submission with something along the lines of "Real Talk. Let's just have a stage for every kingdom."

And while not exactly a great idea for an actual Smash Bros game to do, on Paper the idea does sound appealing. Not just for Mario Odyssey either. Super Mario. Bros 3, Super Mario 64, and Super Mario Sunshine are also Mario platformers that are good choices for this "make every level a stage" idea.

Mario's not the only series like that either. Half of the Zelda games starting with Ocarina of Time have entire dungeon line-ups that would make for great Smash stages.

Sonic is a very good example as well. I can think of a whopping 19 games that fit this bill.

And don't even get me started on Mega Man.

I thought way too much about my last post involving Sonic Generations and Grilled Chaos and now my brain has misbehaved.

So when it comes to the idea of grilling up Chaos from the Sonic games, which of these two facts is worse?

1. The fact that Chaos does technically have meat in him. His brain.

or

2. Chaos is apparently a mutated Chao. So you know, Chao meat.

Note to self: Don’t listen to the ost of Sonic Generations while riding the bus past a Red Robin. It will make you think of the term “Grilled Chaos”.

Thanks to someone pointing it out, I just realized that Waluigi has been in more racing games than Captain Falcon.

I won’t lie, this realization left me feeling a little stunned.

So apparently channels that post full walkthroughs of games on the day said games come out are still around.

sigh YouTube needs to have something in place to punish that.

The idea of remakes of bad games turning them into good games has been an idea gamers have thought of for years. But realistically speaking, doesn’t such a thing practically never happen?

I remember that there was a small chain of Halloweens after I stopped trick or treating where I was unimpressed with the candy selection my family was handing out to trick or treaters.

My mindset was “It’s all chocolate. Come on, you gotta have fruit flavored candy in there too.”

A bit of an ironic mindset to look back on in the modern day now that I know that chocolate comes from a fruit.

The competition for the Swordquest games on the Atari 2600 is the alternate timeline for Avatar the Last Airbender where the Fire Nation wins.

The treasure that was the prize for the Earthworld Competition was melted down by its winner to pay for college. He kept one piece of it, but that was later stolen from him.

The treasure from the Fireworld competition is still safe and sound in a bank vault owned by its winner.

The treasures from the Waterworld competition, Airworld competition, and final competition where the winners of the prior 4 would compete for the “Avatar treasure” let’s call it, since those contests never happened they were all returned to the manufacturer to be melted down.

So the Fireworld treasure was the only one to survive.

Websites don’t allow users to have the same username that someone else already has.

So anyone who wanted to join this site with the username of “Wario Anton Peppino” is out of luck.

Can a human being survive without a butt?

Well since NASB1 is a meme in Japan now according to Wario Wario Wario:

SpongeBob’s Japanese Voice = Pure Art. I’m honestly shocked at how good it is.

Patrick’s Japanese Voice = It at least fits the character, but unlike SpongeBob it sounds very different from the English voice and that might throw some people off too much.

Squidward’s Japanese Voice = Like SpongeBob’s, really good. They casted a great actor for making it sound like Squidward

Sandy’s Japanese Voice = Fits well and sounds like Sandy. Both in being a little similar to the English voice and sounding like a Texas girl.

Mr. Krabs’ Japanese Voice = So like, is Clancy Brown just speaking Japanese here? The performance matches with so well that I can hardly tell the difference.

Plankton’s Japanese Voice = Sorry to throw the work the VA did under the bus, but it sounds a little grating. And it’s so vastly different from the English voice that it’s jarring

If you just search “Japanese SpongeBob” on YouTube you can find the playlist with the clips I found all this out from.

Since I know that not everyone here has seen enough of Avatar the Last Airbender to be considered a fan, allow me to inform you of something about one of the shows best characters, Uncle Iroh.

The guy loves tea. He's ecstatic when he gets to own his own tea shop, he will disregard his usually high wisdom to try and see if a poisonous plant is a delectable tea instead, and he will disregard his wisdom again to blow his cover as an unwelcome Firebender to heat up a cold cup of tea he got jipped on from a shady merchant.

Which means if you're a fan of Bubble Tea, then you'll find it pretty cool that in one of the comics that continue the story after the show, he canonically becomes the man who invents Bubble Tea in the Avatar Universe.

I just saw FazDude 's post about how he just acquired Gex today (I assume the first one) and it reminded me of this one time I saw someone say that Gex 2 is either a better game at making references then Conker's Bad Fur Day or Gex 2 is a game that makes references like Conker does but is a better game, or both.

I've never played Gex 2 so I wouldn't know how accurate any of those statements are, but I'm sure a couple people here have opinions on that matter.

I’m sure a lot of people here already know, but another Mario Movie by Illumination has been announced.

I gotta admit I find it curious how they didn’t specify whether or not this is a sequel to the previous one. It probably is, but I do find it odd that they didn’t mention it either way.

While riding the bus today I told someone who was new to the area how to get where they were trying to go, and afterward that person kept trying to talk to me about the literal terabytes of things like anime, cartoons, and movies that they've downloaded and how he kept calling the idea of paying for streaming service things like "crap" and "stupid".

As someone who has mixed feelings about pirating yet is still mostly against it, that was a bit awkward.

Idea:

During development of the next smash game, there's a heated argument amongst two sides of the staff. They only have enough dev time to add one more character and one side of the staff wants Sephiroth to return, while the other side wants Cooking Mama to be a newcomer.

So to compromise, they just add Chefinoff from Cat Girl Without Salad instead.
