Trying to recall old Mario Odyssey false rumors and predictions for nostalgia's sake. I feel like most people remember the Defino rumors, and that people thought his different hats would be powerups before captures were revealed, but there's a really silly one I remember from some prediction video back in the day

Basically, the guy behind the prediction misunderstood some treehouse commentary about how Steam Gardens was in a glass dome, and thought every world would be in a snow globe.

I love that.

What if Smash revealed fighters and only had cinematic trailers for them like 3 days after the actual reveal

MartianSnake · Sunday at 8:02 PM

Mario characters I honestly think about a lot

Toadsworth
Wart
Tatanga
Eggplant Man
King Totomesu
Blue Bowser
Stanley
Heavy Smoker
Big Bertha (movie)
Jaxi
The Sea Land King from Mario 3 that looks like Mario
And Rex, the enemy from Mario World, who I think makes a perfect "yoshi rival" design, a great Boshi alternative

I have a gift card and it's on discount, should I get nasb2? Already have the first one

Mario Kart World's roster problem is that they seemingly decided to put an arbitrary limit on how many random npcs they're adding. If they added as many Stage Hazards/onlookers that could fit in a kart as possible and spun it as a main feature of the game like "Drive virtually anywhere, be virtually anyone!" people might be kinder to it.

It'd look less "they're doing this because of constraints" and more "they're doing this because of the creative vision"

Sometimes I look back at Smash 4 speculation and I get really stuck on how people thought of fire emblem before much was known about the game specifically. When Ike was revealed to be returning people were like "well I guess we won't be getting a new fire emblem character, the tradition has always been Marth and a new guy"

Yknow, the tradition that only lasted 2 games.

Anyways, there were also wayyyy more people who just assumed Ike was a clone of Marth. Like, even though Brawl was 6 years ago. Weird stuff.

What bothers me about Mario Kart is that they're being very selective about what counts as returning from Tour and what's "new"

Characters and city tracks? Those are returning from tour.

Items and non-city based tracks? Oh those are new, completely new! What's a mario kart tour?

I'm not one of those people who thinks tracks like Ninja Hideaway was designed for 8DX and later put in tour btw, no. I 100% believe every new track in tour were designed for tour first and foremost.

What really gets me is Mario Kart World's marketing is treating the Mega Mushroom, from Wii as a brand new item for some reason.

So Sonic Racing Crossworlds looks awesome

MartianSnake · Apr 14, 2025

Guys I just had the craziest idea for a Smashboards Creates thread

What if

NINTENDO

made a platform fighter?

Crazy, right?

MartianSnake · Apr 13, 2025

Yknow, I do wonder what CTR Nitro Fueled would've scrounged up if they had to do another year of live service seasons

MartianSnake · Apr 12, 2025

My next roster will be comparing John Madden to ROB

MartianSnake · Apr 12, 2025

Where are all the vector graphic inspired Indie games

MartianSnake · Apr 11, 2025

I want a new platfighter to get big without needing a competitive-play angle to it

MartianSnake · Apr 11, 2025

My brain fried but I need to do the thing

MartianSnake · Apr 11, 2025

Wait waitwaitwaitwaitwait

Smashboards Creates: Clubhouse Games 3

Whos with me

MartianSnake · Apr 10, 2025

When someone likes something I don't I'm like oh cool I'm glad you like that but when someone dislikes something I like I cry

Honestly I'd prefer if they gave Mario Maker 2 an upgrade pack instead of a full-on Maker 3

Mouse controls would fix like, the primary problem people had with the game, maybe add a switch 2 exclusive mode or game style to add a bit more value and honestly just use it as an excuse to put development on the game again and add more updates over another year.

Probably a pipe dream, but i think it'd be cool to give older switch games a second wind like that. The Booster Course Pass kinda did that a bit. Making the roster feel more well-rounded and adding some QoL/Balance changes. I wanna see what can be done to these games after a few years of retrospect.

I'd also settle for a free Mouse control update but I don't think new control schemes are part of the free updates some games are getting.

Is the Goofy Movie Documentary good? I struggle with believing that since it's not called A Goofy Movie Movie

MartianSnake · Apr 9, 2025

If time travel got invented you'd have sooo many internet funnymen looking back to famous time travel movies and being like "uhhh that's not how time travel works bro everyone knows now that a DeLorean isn't safe enough to protect you from timestream radiation lololol Marty would've grown a second head by the second movie"

They'd probably tell it to their faces at the film lot

MartianSnake · Apr 9, 2025

I'm Anton Ego when it comes to going to a movie theater but if Anton Ego didn't even step foot in a restaurant unless he knew the ratatouille was going to be amazing like a week in advance because he's paranoid of sitting in a theater when Alvin Chipmunk quotes a meme

MartianSnake · Apr 9, 2025

I like that Mario Kart World and Sonic Crossworlds are coming out and I love two cakes and I don't wanna bog anything down with "oh which is better" blahblahblah

But

I think there's a definite chance the crossworlds devs saw the Mario Kart World trailer and facepalmed because they didn't think of putting grind rails in a kart racer first

MartianSnake · Apr 7, 2025

Who would you play as in this pac-man kart roster

MartianSnake · Apr 7, 2025

Sephiroth accidentally leaves his sword in the microwave when reheating a frozen turkey dinner

MartianSnake · Apr 7, 2025

Do you think there's someone out there who played the ps2 exclusively up until 2014

MartianSnake · Apr 6, 2025

Reiterating a previous post:

"I had a dream there was a Mario character named Matt and he was a faceless grey dog guy that looked a bit like snoopy and he wore a conductors hat

His whole thing was that he was from the pre-super era when Mario lived in the city and he was the truck driver in Mario Bros (Game & Watch version)*

anyways I drew Matt

He's my new mario oc and I love him dearly. He's like the Snoopy of the mario world.

MartianSnake · Apr 5, 2025

It's easy to forget because of how insane the roster is but I'm glad Nabbit is in Mario Kart World. He's playable in two mainline entries, he should be a higher priority in spinoff rosters and I'm glad he's here.

MartianSnake · Apr 5, 2025

Every day I see atleast one video with like 17 views uploaded 2 days ago in my YouTube recommendeds. I think nature is healing, just a little bit

MartianSnake · Apr 4, 2025

I really want a thread where people can just casually discuss rosters they've made in the Here's the Keys thread tbh. And for discussing the "art" of roster creation in general.

Closest thing to this is the Smashboards Creates Discussion and Brainstorming thread but that's more for pitching thread ideas. I wanna discuss roster creation more casually and stuff

Am I crazy

MartianSnake · Apr 3, 2025

3D TOKOTOKO AND BATADON IN 2025

I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS

MartianSnake · Apr 3, 2025

I honestly think it would be fun if Sakurai brought back the Sakurai Presents format for a Kirby Air Riders Direct

MartianSnake · Apr 2, 2025

Good lord

GOOD LORD

IS THAT A DIRECT MARIO LAND REFERENCE???? ARE YOU SERIOUSLY NAME-DROPPING BATADON????

MartianSnake · Apr 2, 2025

Gonna do the unthinkable and try to make a Nintendo Kart roster

MartianSnake · Apr 2, 2025

Gonna be thinking about nothing but kart racers for the next while. Expect rosters for stuff

MartianSnake · Apr 2, 2025

If we can fuse the roster philosophies of Sonic CrossWorlds, Crash Nitro Fueled, and Mario Kart World we can create the perfect kart racing roster.

CrossWorlds has incredibly strong foundation
Nitro Fueled has a love for the obscure and underused
Kart World believes "if it has a face, it's fair game"

MartianSnake · Apr 2, 2025

Ok, knowing how bonkers the roster is, who do you want in Mario Kart World

Me?
Paratroopa return
New Donker
Bulrush
Bully
Bob-Omb
Bob-Omb Buddy
A Rabbit
Jaxi
Blooper
Uhhhhh
Gearmo

MartianSnake · Apr 2, 2025

There's like a small chance all the cool new mario kart characters are npc only for some sick and twisted reason but the fact the trailer spotlighted Moo Moo gives me hope

MartianSnake · Apr 2, 2025

Judging by the fact one of the characters is a cow and another is a generic snowman (not even Mr. Blizzard) and the fact people are still finding MORE characters (Piranha Plant & Coin Coffer have been spotted) makes me think Mario Kart World is aiming for 100 characters

MartianSnake · Apr 2, 2025

The fact that the world's most blatant tech demo pack isn't a pack-in, is insane to me

This isn't switch 1 launch, people aren't gonna buy whatever game comes out because they're desperate to play anything on their new toy. They can just pop old games in, or get the upgrade packs, I don't much see the point in making Welcome Tour a sold-seperately experience.

Rest of the direct was pretty neat. Mario Kart is crazy. That basketball game is cute. DKB looks awesome. Deltarune. Part of me does wish they like, combined this direct with the last one, sorta do the switch 1 stuff as a pre-show for switch 2, clean up a few minutes spent on reiterating. Though I can understand the drawbacks to that.

Ill never buy a console at launch, though.

MartianSnake · Apr 2, 2025

So pianta is playable in the next mario kart

MartianSnake · Apr 2, 2025

Oh my god
