Wario Wario Wario

thinking about the time the banjo kazooie facts twitter posted "did you know? greg mayles' son prefers nuts and bolts over the n64 games! " and then had to reply "DO NOT SEND 5 YEAR OLDS DEATH THREATS"

Wait, so the US actually has a franchise restaurant fully themed as a medieval castle??? with live jousting??? I thought that was just a wacky cartoon gag made up for Arthur.

That "I Hate Barney" novelty album I posted a few days ago is really weird - 3 or so of the songs aren't about Barney, none of them involve death or violence but there's one that seems to vaguely allude to dino-sex, there's an actual genre balance with love songs; rock and roll; and rap among the obvious nursery rhyme parodies, one of them is a weirdly emotional track where the singer is trying to figure out just why she hates Barney, and it's also... really good? Like some of these are genuinely good cheesy 90s songs, I wish there were versions with lyrics that weren't about wanting a mid-90s kids' show cancelled.

I tried looking up all the artist's other work and apparently she's a 1970s disco legend or something? Her Barney-bashing album really isn't that far off from her serious songs from what I've heard so far - it's very clearly made on a lower budget with synth instruments and all that (though that could just be to replicate the actual Barney show, which also used cheap synth instruments), but the singing and original composition quality doesn't seem to be much of a downgrade.

I have a bit of a habit IRL of trying not to repeat certain words too often, and using fancy synonyms as often as possible, and because of this I LOATHED the word "please" while I was in education. Thank you has tons of synonyms I can use, but please is just so rigid. Even if I said something with the same meaning and etiquette, like say "would you mind...", I still got scolded for it - luckily, that sort of thing seems to have eased as I left school and went into supported living, so I can "would you mind" all I want now.

I now have an EAC stage planned for every single Sonic R gameplay track (sans Super Sonic Racing since it's already in the game)

One of the enemies in Pizza Tower is a cameo from a Doom mod with buff featheries and scalies in it.

DriDim just got it's first 4 way tie, and it's almost entirely between memes.

Smash fans will legitimately call having 3 attack buttons "more complex" than this

Hold on... if content from licensed Disney games is eligible for EAC...

I was thinking of replacing my Minecraft Link submission from EAC with Link Sonic - the reason I decided against it is just because alts for Minecraft Link would be really fun - plus I have wanted an OC of sorts in the thread since I opened it, and Link Sonic is a real canon thing.

One of my original ideas for a Young Link echo was a "warrior Zelda", which I could include through Minecraft Link's alts.

Jesus the soundtrack for Ice Hockey NES is good. Arguably one of the best first party NES OSTs.

I really dislike Smash's approach to trailers, but I don't really think having trailers alone is a bad thing... I'd prefer to only give certain characters trailers - like, Waluigi gets a trailer but Colgate is shadow-announced on Twitter for example - and have trailers for certain pieces of non-character content with the same production values as the character trailers. A trailer for the Bowser's Castle stage or wavedashing would go hard.

We're submitting Marth, Lucina, and Young Link's echoes and stages!

There's the F-Zero thing I was talking about.

95% of Pokemon human characters are always like, just normal people, at their weirdest they might have blue hair or slightly-too-big shoes or something - but the other 5% have artificial rock climbing walls for hair and tiger stripes on their shoulders or crap like that.

Except in Trozei. The humans in Trozei are honestly the weirdest thing Game Freak ever made, and this is the company that made a game where you fight a prison island transformer.

Subspace Emissary fans when I suggest that a crossover of this game, this game, and this game should be a comedy.

One thing I've always wanted to do but never really managed to get the patience for is writing Gex quips for every Smash stage or fighter.

Is it just me, or does YouTube have a separate rotation of ads for every video quality? Whenever I set my quality to 1080p I get a bunch of new ads that I never see again when I eventually go back to comfortable old 360p.

laughing because the final boss of bubble bobble is called "super drunk", throws glass bottles at you, and transforms into your parents in the good ending.

You know, I never realised until now how weird it is that UK shops have cardboard cops in the doors. You kinda take that sorta thing for granted after a while.

I still think Mementos looks like the Problem Solverz.

We're submitting mini-franchises where all the racers are teams!

oh no, i think i accidentally gaslit tankman into thinking blue lobsters are an iconic piece of imagery from the xenoblade games

It really annoys me how when people talk about EarthBound, the conversation is always dominated by the dark parts and not the... literally anything else. Of all the elements I associate with EB - the surreal imagery, the heartfelt storytelling, the Japanese satirical perspective on Americana, the witty localised dialogue, the ways it influenced Pokemon, the charmingly tedious tasks it tends to make the player perform, so on - the spooky stuff has always been the most negligible and bland IMO. Change the Giygas fight to just a regular grey alien with regular final boss rock music and not much is lost.

The series that have received new content in EAC thus far (new to Smash in bold). There's likely one or two "by technicality" series with references in alts or hardware-themed spirit battles I'm missing

I'm so glad Family Guy/Subway Surfers videos are keeping the spirit of the Annoying Goose alive

We're submitting a Marvel franchise!

Novel concept for a cartoon: establish that you're a serialised show with an ongoing good vs. evil plot from the first episode.

I have very good ideas for Pichu's echo and stage in EAC.

I just got bold-texted for liking the Project M version of Green Hill Zone

Waluigi Stadium better still have the eyes on the directional arrows.

The fact this stage was at one point legal is so funny to me

That being said, I think the grass gimmick would be interesting for other platform fighters to implement into one of their competitive stages, just give it an exact timing and pattern, and make sure the base stage is a differently-sized clone of a stage that exists in a gimmickless form. I feel like "semi-hazards" like Randall and Whispy wind should be embraced more in platform fighters in general - even if tournaments don't end up using them, they'd be fun for competitive-ruleset friendlies.

There will never be a more iconic crossover
