Basically everyone here. Some already have it.

My Mario in Super Mario Bros wii lost his cap...

Is there a way to get it back?

Oh awesome...

Mario looses his hat if you get 99 lives.

I lost one and my hat was back, gained another and I lost it again.


...I wonder if the toads loose their caps if they get 99 lives

 

[Alzi]

Bold toads would be awesome lol.

Wasn't Galaxy's story line he just goes to see peach and then bowser appears and somehow they go into space. I honestly have forgetton. Sunshines one made alot more sense imo.

haha chyea they would!

and pretty much. just like every other story

 

[Alzi]

I like the way some star coins are hidden. Some are so simple yet you would never think would be there. An example in real life:

You stole cash the police are after you, You hide the cash under a newspaper thats on the dinner table. The police come to your house and search in deep areas when it's hidden in a simple place you never would of thought would be there .

Like on one of the ghost houses i run left straight into a hidden wall just at the start of the level and theres a star coin there.

Need to collect some of world 3's star coins tommorow.

Bowser wanted to kidnap Peach and

He "invites" Peach to see his new galaxy and warps into space with her castle to the center of the universe.

and lets not forget

Spoiler

everyone dieing only to be saved by Rosalina

and her storybook <3, I wouldn't put it better than Sunsine, but I think the story is better

 

[Silk]

I want Mario to cease the collecting of star objects! Please Nintendo, MIX UP THE STORY JUST A TAD!

 

[CRASHiC]

Yoshi's Island is still my favorite Mario game. <3
Music, story, style, gameplay, bosses, everything about it <3

 

[UberMario]

I just played Mario Kart Arcade GP recently and I have to say this:

-The courses have four configurations (including ones that reverse the direction of flow)
-There are a lot of items
-Computer players tend to take out other cpus more than they do the player.
-The thunder cloud is a weapon that can be thrown instead of being a freakin' impediment like in Wii.
-Like MK:SC and MK:DD, the controls are very slippery, and like SMK and MK:SC powersliding does not result in sparks or mini-turbos, but it does decrease decleration through the turns like normal.
-Most bonus challenges are impossible without a working item button (And the only one in the arcade had a broken one)

Other than that I'd say it was pretty OK, it appears to use the same graphics engine as MK:DD, and the majority of props are ripped from that game.

I'd rate it about as good as MK:DD!! and better than MK:Wii

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ lol, I guess Mario Kart Wii can't please everyone I see, but you have to admit it has more good points than most people lay on. I'll say Mario Kart Wii is the second or the third best Mario Kart right now, I'll say the Arcade is the least best, but still good. ☆

 

[justaway12]

I'll say it's the first or second best!

I only played 2 Mario Karts =P

I heard people really hated Yoshi's island because of Baby Mario =P

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ Those people are haters, babies got back.... because they are on Yoshi's back and.... I really suck. XD ☆

☆ Mario Kart wise I'll say Mario Kart DS > Mario Kart 64 or Mario Kart Wii > Mario Kart Super Circuit > Super Mario Kart > Mario Kart Double Dash > Mario Cart Arcade 2 > Mario Kart Arcade. ☆

 

[justaway12]

That first line was...xD

And I've only got 64 and Wii, not a bad chioce, I guess =)

 

[UberMario]

I'd say

MKDS > MKSC > MK64 > SMK > MK:DD!! > Arcade > Wii

Mario Kart Wii's new tracks didn't have enough turns (A full race at Rainbow Road Wii has the same amount of turning as SMK Mario Circuit 1 did in the original) and items were too unavoidable.

Mario Kart DS's items were perfectly balanced IMO, only thing I hated was the changing of the Chain Chomp to the Bullet Bill

MK:DD was awesome, but suffered the linearity issues that MKWii's tracks have.

MKSC would be the best if it were in 3-D, but the specs of the GBA prevented that, as the tracks were the most complex without being overly punishing.

(*hopes for a 3-D remake*)

MK64 was my favorite, but it's far too glitchy.

SMK is definitely the hardest to do a perfect run on, and the tracks are the hardest, but I didn't like how much the cpus could cheat.

I actually liked MKDS's wifi better than MKWii's as:

-You get to chose your car AFTER you know how good your opponent is before the racign starts
-It's more on skill than about luck
-All drivers are equal on MKDS wifi
-All drivers can use ANY kart on MKDS wifi
-You don't get penalized for being in the lead on MKDS wifi

the only thing I found appealing about MKWii's wifi was the lack of lag and the amount of players.

Yoshi's Island was on par with SMB3 and SMW in greatness.
Everything was epic about it, except for the lack of copies distributed due to it being near the end of it's system's generation.

 

[Yonder]

I sorta think Super Paper Mario had the best story line ...maybe it's cause I'm Luigi i bias?

 

[sammy p]

MK64>MKDD>MKWII>MKDS>SMK>MKSC

i LOVED every mario kart game besides the Super Circuit. but i seem to be the only one who despised it i guess
i thought it was a mix of the 64 and original version, and decided to call that a gems. i didnt like that at all.
meh... what do i know

 

[justaway12]

I sorta think Super Paper Mario had the best story line ...maybe it's cause I'm Luigi i bias?

IMO RPG mario generally have better stories.

 

[CRASHiC]

Isn't the newest Mario Kart the most competitive because of the option to turn off the bull **** items?

Oh well. I'm going to pick up the new Mario soon by trading in my barely broken Brawl and my Zelda Twilight: New Moon and my Pokemon Platnium.

 

[justaway12]

You can!? o_O

Well, I guess you learn something new everyday

@Uber: Technically, most of those cons have nothing to do with the online (not that it makes MKW any better >.<). Unless there is something I missed

 

[CRASHiC]

Yeah, you can turn off the things like the Blue Shells, the red shells, the star, and the Bullet thing. Just set it to Strategic mode or something like that.

 

[Joeadok]

Mario kart is still Mario kart, frustrating fun. Things happen way to conveniently in these games, especially on Wii.

 

[CRASHiC]

That's why you turn those convenient moments off. There is nothing convenient about green shells and bananas.

 

[Joeadok]

I guess, but you'd be suprised just how conveniently a green shell can get inbetween you and the finish line.

 

[CRASHiC]

That's why you hold on to your banana behind you, that way you have a shield against bananas, making it difficult for your opponent to hit you.

 

[UberMario]

You can!? o_O

Well, I guess you learn something new everyday

@Uber: Technically, most of those cons have nothing to do with the online (not that it makes MKW any better >.<). Unless there is something I missed

Um yes they do.

Mario Kart DS allowed you to change your kart after four races, or whenever you joined a group.

So if you see someone who has a high score, you chose the kart that you have the best times with.

If they have a medium/low score, you chose the kart you have the most fun with.

If they're clearly n00bs, you can chose practically any kart you want and still own them.

However, in Mario Kart Wii, you chose your vehicle before you can see your opponent, which means you always have to assume that you'll need your best BIKE or face almost certain loss.

All characters being equal (in MKDS) = People not always choosing the same character due to stats. (Do Funky and Daisy ring a bell?) Same thing with karts, since any weight class can fit in any vehicle in MKDS.

MKWii had more spiny shells generated the further you were in the lead, while MKDS gave the leader more bananas and the second placer WAY more red shells, which were reasonably avoidable.


Items (when not playing teams) affect the positions WAY too much in MKWii, especially on wifi.

@Sammy_P: The awesomest part of MKSC was that the red shells could be left like mines or if you were an expert power-slider you could outrun ones shot at you!

 

[justaway12]

I wasn't talking about all of it.

Just these:
-It's more on skill than about luck
-You don't get penalized for being in the lead on MKDS wifi

I didn't know you could switch items off so I thought it applied to offline and online xP

 

[CRASHiC]

Items (when not playing teams) affect the positions WAY too much in MKWii

That's why you turn them off. If that was such a problem, then no one would play Mario Kart competevily. Mario Kart Wii is the most competitive version, so clearly cheap items are not the problem.

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ You can't turn off items on Wifi, and vs player gameplay lags the worst than the other Mario Kart's with 3 or more people on the same TV. >.< ☆

 

[UberMario]

That's why you turn them off. If that was such a problem, then no one would play Mario Kart competevily. Mario Kart Wii is the most competitive version, so clearly cheap items are not the problem.

SMK, MK64, and MKDS say HI.

 

[sammy p]

no im pretty sure you cant

 

[ranmaru]

Oh well. Mario Kart is still fun, I didn't get used to the Wii version yet, since I don't have a Wii yet. But I'll get there. Sometime. :[ I got a job at walmart so yeah. hollar at me.

 

[UberMario]

That's why you hold on to your banana behind you, that way you have a shield against bananas, making it difficult for your opponent to hit you.

Oooh what's that!

*Hit by a pow block on MC3*

Lost that item, and the one I had in reserve too, dang.

What's that noise?

*Hit by a red shell*

Well, I'm still in the lead.

*Gets BS'd*

I've still got a shot . . .

*Get's run over by a Mega, a Star, and a Bullet without any time to move in between each hit*

Well, at least I can shut off the game.

no im pretty sure you cant

About what?

Items? No, you can not shut them off online.

If you're referring to my previous post, then I was referring to the competitive scene.

If you're referring to the post I posted before the previous post, then yes you can.

Get about 20 coins in MKSC and powerslide through every turn, and the red shell will commit suicide after 30 seconds.

Press down when using a red shell in MKSC to drop it as a mine, it will attack the next player to pass it after two seconds. (I'm sure you've heard a siren noise played thrice in a row quickly, because that's the lock-on sound a dropped red shell makes before attacking)

 

[CRASHiC]

Wifi is for fun, nothing more. Taking it seriously is silly.

SMK, MK64, and MKDS say HI.

Those suffer from the set items which include stars and red shells. The fact that you can reduce a match to nothing more than Bananas, Shells, False Item Boxes, and Mushrooms makes this game much more serious.

 

[LoganW]

Wifi is for fun, nothing more. Taking it seriously is silly.

competitive brawl.......... that is all
crashic you've proved what i've been saying all along

 

[CRASHiC]

Yes, because competitive Brawl is ALL about da Wifi. Even Wifi players admit that Wifi is not something to take super seriously. Logan, check the rules, because constant harassment is a prema-banned offense.

 

[UberMario]

By that logic CRASHiC, MKSC and MKDD are the most competitive, since you can SHUT OFF items in those games.

The problem with MKWii is snaking and split-second-mini-turbo-combos are removed, making it more about the car than the driver.

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ MKDD reminds me how funny it is to pick Daisy, I always lol when people get annoyed by her. And of course Toadette. <3 ☆

☆ I don't know, I just like picking her in every Mario game she's in. =3 ☆

 

[CRASHiC]

Daisy is my pick in every mario sport/party game <3

I just got Super Mario Wii and I love it. Still doesn't rival the fun I had on Yoshi's Island (OMG THE SNOW COURSE <3 <3 <3 <3 ) but the two suits are still amazing fun. I quit on 3-2 and I'm predicting right now that I won't be able to beat this game omg hahahahhaha. Its hard. (keep in mind I suck at 2D mario games)

 

[justaway12]

I want that game soo much <3

That's the one where she says, "Hai I'm Daisy!" right?

Hopefully getting NSMBW tommorow!
