I agree on not playing those 3. However I will disagree with you on Port Town forever!!! The overwhelming majority of the time the stage has no ledges and you can get killed by fast speeding racers at 30-40%. Its absurd, random and chaotic (its too gimmicky imo)It's wacky and I love it. The BBR is gonna get a ton of **** though.
But yea, let's not do Luigi's, Green Greens, or Distant Planet.
WE'RE PLAYING PORT TOWN THOUGH
I agree on the starters(except for Lylat) and as for PS2...Its the perfect CP for MK if you want an easy win vs an opponent. :/Bees, I think the starters was the most legitimately smartest decision they made. FD has always been really polarizing considering it as a "neutral", so moving it down makes a lot of sense.
Pokemon Stadium 2 is fine and has always been fine.
