I like how, intentionally or not, the 4 Mario universe platforming protags appeal to different stages of life.

• Yoshi is cute and lives in a crayon world with usually easy platforming, perfect for kids who just barely count in the "3+" age range
• Mario is a standard all-around hero in standard all-around games, the sort of character you idolise when you're only just about to break out of the single-digits
• Wario is lazy, gross, and greedy. He fights a mix of nightmare inducing creatures and wimpy freaks in really unconventional game styles, very resonant with a teen demographic trying to break the rules and slowly understanding complex morality beyond just "good and bad".
• Donkey Kong is just a chill dude who loves family, friends, and food. His games are hard and tend to be a bit on the artistic side in terms of soundtrack and levels. Not mature or edgy, but there's a slight pinch of adult sensibility to him.

That seems a little counter-intuitive

I have a love-hate relationship these best/worst TV show wikis, most of the points they make are utterly terrible and sometimes the qualities they mention are the exact opposite of how they're framing them - it's basically TVTropes Mr. Enter style - but it's kinda addictive, like a car crash you can't look back from, and they occasionally, very rarely, make decent points.

As a kid I always thought the stick figure portion of the Tom & Jerry Tales intro were supposed to be blueprints, since the designs from it were used in a blueprint map screen in the Tom & Jerry Tales DS game - however, as I grew older I eventually started to think the DS game influenced me to see them as blueprints and they moreso intended as a reference to storyboards with an aesthetically pleasing dark blue as opposed to the blinding white usually found on paper

Now my 6 year old self is finally validated, as I have learned that that scene was intended as a tribute to a blueprint-themed original Tom & Jerry short. That was an absolute rollercoaster of a 5-minute Google, let me tell you.

Why do people like analysing the "warped psychology" of Wimpy Kid characters so much? Like, it was funny when Mumkey Jones did it but now it's become a ridiculous genre of its own.

For a while I've had this idea of a Kuru Kuru Kururin stage that would just be FD but with a slight bump in the middle, a noplat as distinct from FD as Dream Land is from Battlefield - but the thing is, I think I've found a more interesting aesthetic design.

It's kinda disturbing how normalised the R-word is in the SMG4 and SuperMarioLogan fan circles - like I've watched a few reviews and drama recaps for these channels and they frequently use it casually as a synonym for "wacky" or "idiotic" without even acting like it's some edgy counter-cultural thing, let alone a repugnant slur.

Sonic the Fighters unironically has one of the best explanations for why heroic characters are beating each other up in any fighting game spin-off ever. (Eggman has a new plan, Tails built a one-passenger ship, the fighting tournament is to determine who's the strongest and therefore most fit to take on Eggman.)

Surely it wouldn't be too much of a feat to make a kart racer with 100+ characters, right? CTR NF has 55 different characters (discounting Fixed Rilla Roo), which is as far as I know the highest character count of any (closed source) kart racer ever made. Fighting game characters need balancing and conceptualising but their rosters can break the 70 mark, why can't kart racers do the same? With Mario's long history and the amount of dosh Mario Kart is gauranteed to make why not blow a large chunk of the budget on mustering such a big roster?
