Mario Universe General Super Mario Discussion Thread - "It'sa Me, Mario!"

[Fuelbi]

It's a flaming uppercut utilized by Ryu in Street Fighter.

Why does that sound eerily similar to luigis up b?

 

[Shade613]

^
Because Sakurai is an uncreative *******.

 

[justaway12]

That's kind of why it's sometimes associated with it, but this might be getting slightly off-topic.

Anyway, ummm... how is Mario kart these days?

Ninja'd

 

[sammy p]

i like the MKW!!! its just fine! of course, the items ARE unfair but other than that!
actually, ALL the mario karts have been a huge success for me!!! lol

 

[Fuelbi]

Lol at sakurai being uncreative. I happen to be fond of MKDS. R.O.B. kicked major ***

 

[Neo Exdeath]

Mario Kart is awesome nowadays except snaking. God, I hate snaking.

 

[§leepy God]

Mario Kart is awesome nowadays except snaking. God, I hate snaking.

♪ As do I. My main reason I dislike them is if you don't know how to Snake then your S.O.L. when playing someone. One of the main reasons why I didn't play Mario Kart DS online much. T_T †

☆ That's a lot of unnecessary negatives for Mario Kart Wii. =/ ☆

☆ Anyways, Bowser's Inside Story is coming tomorrow, today if you have "connections", but for most people it's tomorrow. ☆

 

[justaway12]

Well, I wouldn't say all unnecessary, but the pros do seem to be more impotant than some cons ^^;
I take it you didn't like MKW, uberbob ^^;

As for Bowser Inside Story, it still won't come to England for a while (I don't think so, anyway), it gives me time to finish the other 2, but I still want it here now!

 

[UberMario]

Well, I wouldn't say all unnecessary, but the pros do seem to be more impotant than some cons ^^;

I'm not Uberbob.

Itsa me! UberMario!

And yes, I don't like MKWii at all.

 

[justaway12]

Oh, I'm sorry! I always thought your name was UberBob >.<

Back on topic: Ummm, yeah, I hope Super Mario Bros wii, gets new characters, not just red/blue toad, Wario and Waluigi would be amazing! Toadette and Peach too.

Hopefully, there will be atleast 2 new characters

 

[Fuelbi]

I have to criticize one thing on MKW. Its is hards as hell to stunt in the air. I shake the wii wheel hard as hell and nothing happens

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ Not all of them are unnecessary, but it's a little more than half is like: ☆

-Battle Stages overly large
-Battle Mode Balloons are pointless
-Stages are abyssimally linear (MKWii Special Cup= MK64 Flower Cup= MKSC Mushroom Cup)
-Items are broken
-Music isn't memorable
-Unoriginal Missions
-Leading at the start of the final lap is a bad idea
-Being in second is better than being in first
-Karts Weight-locked
-Stunts are texture-based, not physics based

☆ But the rest is fine, but those are the unnecessary cons. But then again, that's his option not mines. XD ☆

As for Bowser Inside Story, it still won't come to England for a while (I don't think so, anyway), it gives me time to finish the other 2, but I still want it here now!

☆ England eh? I think it's like a month for now that game come's out... import it. XD ☆

☆ Well, it's good to finish the sequels before going into the latest game. ☆

I have to criticize one thing on MKW. Its is hards as hell to stunt in the air. I shake the wii wheel hard as hell and nothing happens

☆ It depends on what position your shaking it from or is it a tiny shake. Mostly you would raise your Wii-Mote to perform a trick with a Wii Wheel or Wii-Mote & Nunchaku. ☆

 

[sammy p]

[Fuelbi]

[sammy p]

[justaway12]

☆ Well, it's good to finish the sequels before going into the latest game. ☆

Of course, but I want to buy it now, just so I can...I'm like that

to justaway: yea im not looking forward to 2 toads...... -.-;

does anyone know what the storyline is?? is it just another story about peach getting kidnapped by bowser/bowser jr. or what?? sorry if im a little slow on this lol
just curious

Two toads won't be bad but I want mah Wario T_T
I think the storyline is that Princess Peach get captured and Mario has to save her, it was Super Mario Bros. story, and the DS, most other games too, I think it's a safe bet

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Well when I shake it doesnt do ot with a little one so I start shaking as hard as I can and it doesnt work

Maybe you are shaking it at the wrong time. You have to time it just as you are on the top of the ramp and just about to come off it

 

[UberMario]

Well when I shake it doesnt do ot with a little one so I start shaking as hard as I can and it doesnt work

Used to happen to me too, try holding it up like a real wheel instead of like a controller.

About NSMBWii: The reason people don't like the two toads is because neither of them is THE Toad.

 

[justaway12]

^^^
Really? Because, I just want more characters

And since I'm here I might as well post that Peach has a secret :embarrass

http://www.mariowiki.com/Peach's_XXX

 

[Fuelbi]

OOOH. Well since I havent played in months I kinda reverted back to noobishness so I hold the wheel like a remote XD. But when you shake it is it back and forth or up and down?

 

[UberMario]

Both!

Shake left to do a left stunt, right to do a right, and up to do a neutral stunt.

(The difference is the animation and the angle you land on the ground)

Up is usually the best though.

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ I feel like playing a retro Mario game right now. Which one should I replay, Super Mario World or Super Mario Bros 3? ☆

That depends, are you referring to the SMAS version of SMB3?

 

[justaway12]

I would say Super Mario World, I just liked it so much more. Unless SMB3 on wii is different than the original

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ You just reminded me, I forgot I had the Super Mario Advance series. I was saying the NES version of SMB3 and the SNES version of SMW. ☆

I would say Super Mario World, I just liked it so much more. Unless SMB3 on wii is different than the original

☆ The Wii Shop version? I think it's the same, I wouldn't know since I don't have that version. ☆

 

[justaway12]

Then I would say Super Mario World, I played none of them on thier orginal console, but that is just my opinion ^^;

 

[UberMario]

Well the main difference is you don't have to do all 8 worlds in SMB3 in one shot if it's on the Wii.

 

[Fuelbi]

Ahh I remember super mario world for the gameboy since I never had the SNES. I remember going through star road and taking a shortcut to bowser I didnt even have to go through all the worlds I just went through the first star road I could find

 

[POKE40]

Super Mario bros. Deluxe for the Game Boy was my favorite

 

[UberMario]

All of the Game Boy Mario games are sooo underrated. Especially Donkey Kong '94.

 

[Yonder]

Woohoo, next Mario and Luigi game (Feels better than calling it Bowser's inside story, it's a M and L game afterall...sorta) Out tommorrow!

You think $40 is enough to buy it?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Does New Super Mario Bros wii look good to anybody?

...I haven't really looked it up, but I just preordered it because it looked interesting

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ Tell me does this look interesting to buy: ☆

☆ Looks like it to me. =3 ☆

☆ I have Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story, I'll say it's much better than Partners in Time. Another must get game for the DS. =3 ☆

 

[Yonder]

Viper: How much did it cost, where did you get it? Is $40 enough?

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ It should be, I got my copy for 37.09 in total. Most area's or websites would cost 34.99, (plus tax) currently, I'm glad it's not Chrono Trigger's or Puyo Puyo 7's price. XD ☆

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

...The koopa kids? ...Are all 7 of them in the game?

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

In terms of Mario games, I have a soft spot for Super Mario RPG. For some reason, I prefer it to the Paper Mario series. Maybe it's because there are more boss battles, or maybe because it doesn't rely on an arbitrary "chapter" structure.

That said, I love it. The graphics remind me of Donkey Kong Country. It's a shame that none of the original characters were used again (except Geno, although that was just a cameo). Even the Chancellor didn't come back.

Also, I liked playing the Mario Land series (which got replaced by the equally good Wario Land/World series). To this day, I'm hoping that Tatanga will come back somehow. Seriously. I mean, Daisy doesn't have any roles in main Mario games, these days.

In the domain of the 3-D Mario games, well, Galaxy and Sunshine are decent, but I will always have a place for Super Mario 64. It's nice how you can just run around and do all sorts of acrobatic moves. Not to mention that it's the only Mario game where you can mess around with Mario's face, on the title screen.

Finally, there's the original side-scrollers. I have a preference for Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3.

...The koopa kids? ...Are all 7 of them in the game?

Apparently, yes. There's some footage of Larry's battle on Youtube.

That said, I'm eagerly anticipating NSMBW.

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ Wait... there was a Larry battle?!? Isn't he suppose to be like... the strongest or the most skilled of them all to be shown this soon? Unless they are following the order from Super Mario Bros 3. ☆
