If King Boo hasn't been in a mainline Mario game yet, who was the giant ghost in the basement of the casino in Sunshine?
That particular King Boo actually has a different name in Japan where he's known as "Boss Boo" while the King Boo from Luigi's Mansion is actually called "King Boo" over there so I'm pretty sure that they are indeed totally different characters.

I never knew about this. So I guess King Boo wasn't in Sunshine if that is the case.

Another day, another potential flame war, another opportunity to post Shantae fan art.
There was a problem fetching the tweet

Get ready for April Fools tomorrow. I don't know what is this year's joke for SmashBoards.

Guys, I dunno about you but I am so sick of Shantae now. My eyes open. You dare wanting a character not someone else's? That is an opinion you are having! No! Here I am making blogs about how much my choices should matter more than yours! Rude! I hope you know that's my reason and not 'cause I'm 7 and afraid of cooties. Now if you'll excuse me I must cherry pick some lewd content in a sea of fanart so that I may dupe some fools yet thinking her game is AO. HAHAHAHAHA

April Fools, everybody.

Me too, is there a way to delete your current avatar? It's bad enough that no one bothered to fix the icons.

At any rate, it's good to see Inti Creates and WF not joking at all, especially in light of the tasteless jokes for the fake Flipnote and Pokemon Swish music leaks.

Aw my crash Icon fails to load :_(
CrashBoards doesn't just refer to the bandicoot, from the looks of it - look at Crash's head on the top of the page. (at least on the desktop version of the site - I don't think it shows up in the mobile version)

Woah. You know with recent events involving the C-Virus and this board...


Does this only work for those of us with profile pics?

Oh it's going to be fun trying to avoid all the Shantae cutscenes on YouTube with the game not coming out on Switch 'til late May. I may have just even spoiled myself looking at one of them where Shantae transforms herself into a bandicoot and unga bungas the final boss with the Aku Aku mask.

Hi. Still out until May. Working on TV Tropes Seven Sirens shenanigans. Hail Crash Bandicoot, the God of All.
Be on the lookout for their mods, mate, they don't hesitate to lock any pages from editing if something happens.

>character pages have more details now
>me when


Needless to say, that section is finally spoiler-central now. The main article hasn't been affected yet.

Regarding WF, I find it a little odd WF seemed to be focusing on appealing to the Japanese Market with Shantae and Vitamin Connection, it might just be them wanting to ppeal to market they are themselves fans of, but I cant help but think its more than that. (Outside the obvious "expand beyond base western audience")

Probably. We really have no way of knowing until sometime after Seven Sirens finally releases.

Also, I didn't expect Kebako's game to actually leave the Humble Bundle.

This reminds me of an image I've seen floating around the CTR community.

Hey, if Shantae gets a reveal trailer I'd love to see it done in the same style of the animated cutscenes. That would be incredible.

The haters are in complete disarray 'cause of the threat ARMS poses that could destroy their fan rule. With the faith shattered for now, the only retort left from them I find currently is "her games still aren't significant". Hahaha.

I KNEW IT!

No, I will not mention the specific element I'm referring to, you'll have to wait and see.

However, I find it just as likely that it may still be danced around for the moment (no pun intended). Remember that the character gallery showed the entire ARMS cast, so we could really just get anyone from there. Don't sell the bear's skin before one has slayed the beast, as the saying goes.

It's still more likely they'll go with a Studio Trigger-done one, given the time frame and locations, if anything.
Maybe they would even do a call back to that one damned window. You know the one.

I doubt its not a current spirit. Honestly the only ones that have any sort of chance that arent spirits are helix, Dr. Coyle, and Max Brass, and none of them are as iconic in the ARMS series as any of the spirits. We are getting a spirit upgrade, i guarantee it
