Aw, I hate public speaking. I'm fine standing in front of a crowd, it's mostly my voice and people are like "What was that?".

My sympathies for you.

I volunteered for it - I'm not great at public speaking, but I also want to be a teacher, so I figure that the only way that I can get better is with practice.

Beat Paper Mario: The Origami King.

The ending fight is phenominal. Possibly the best the series ever had. The ending itself was pretty good as well.

In my opinion, it's the third best Paper Mario game, behind TTYD and 64 (and IMO, it's not too far behind 64). A real plesant surprise, as I was not expecting the game to be THAT good after the last 2 PM games.

Can reccomend this game for those on the fence.

Thank you! And I would LOVE to see that. Also, I ended up not doing much with the mutant kiddos, though they’re being repurposed for this. I know you like Cassandra, so here’s some early concept art for her in this.

We hadn’t decided what species we wanted her to be at the time, though we’ve since decided on making her a vampire, as we had lots of good ideas for that, and a lack of ideas for birb Cassandra.

AAAAH I love her! What a pure bean!

The difference is mine was created by a fan who legitimately loves the source material and most iterations of TMNT and not a group of people who don't care with tonnes of corporate mandates.

I mean, I’m the same with my Sonic Clash roster and even I fear going overboard with my idea here without some corporate guidelines if it ever got greenlit.

I gotta say, entering the rabbit hole and discovering the wahoominati has been a wild ride that's for sure.

Yup, of course it wasn't smooth sailing for Waluigi as well. There were rumors that a Mario brand committee were made in 2009 or so that curated how Mario content should look like to protect the brand. Funnily enough a few years after that committee was formed we saw a lot of changes, Toadsworth stopped having major appearances in games, Kremlings stopped appearing in Donkey Kong, Paper Mario got a massive hit in it's creative potential, and of course, Waluigi got cut from Mario Kart 7. If Waluigi wasn't popular within the fanbase and the backlash to him getting cut wasn't notable then he likely would've remained dead.

I don't know if the Wahoominati is real or not, but it would explain the weird changes within the Mario universe in the early 2010s. I'd love to say this group isn't relevant anymore, but we saw Origami King and Tanabe going on record to say that it's not possible for Paper Mario to be creative like the early games. Now not all is gloom and doom, we saw with K. Rool getting in Smash that the Wahoominati doesn't have the same veto power when it comes to Smash and Sakurai has the last word. But sometimes I wonder if Waluigi not getting an important role in a game is due to executives vetoing it.

In a way Waluigi kind of reminds me of Boba Fett, he's popular with the fans but his owners don't like him. Fan support is what kept Waluigi alive all this time and it is what will keep him alive in the future.

Huh so apparently the appearance of that Australian Aboriginal in one of the Castlevsnia episodes was an Easter egg to the Marvel character Gateway. Cool I guess but at the same time I was hoping this would be a hint we'd get Australian vampires shown later in the series.

 

[TheMightyP]

All that said and done, I'd rank the series:
TTYD>64>TOK>Super>CS>>>>>>>>SS.
And if I had to tier it:
A:TTYD
A-:64
B+:TOK
B:Super
C+:Color Splash
D+:Sticker Star

What is your top 5 favourite films?

I'm sorry this took so long to answer.

1. Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back
2. The Godfather Part 1
3. Star Wars IV: A New Hope
4. The Dark Knight
5. Avengers: Endgame

Doing live-action only since mixing in animated films makes things all the more complicated lol

Odyssey still makes me confused about this statement, but I suppose the main Mario team can do just about whatever they want, even if it is hypocritical assuming this is true. If it is true, while I can see benefits in keeping things consistent, going this overboard against limiting creativity and stuff of the other studios is insanely stupid. I don’t really understand why this would be the cause of K. Rool and the Kremlings disappearing, though, since they were in all of the original DKC games and further ones...and, it’s kinda confusing regarding Waluigi too considering he first appeared in Mario Tennis 64 and fits in very well with Wario and the Mario Bros., but idk.

NoA tweeting Waluigi gives me hope that they care about him.

K. Rool and the Kremlings kinda fizzled after Super Mario Sluggers which released in 2008, the committee supposedly came into existence around 2009 and what do ya know? DKC Returns which released at the end of 2010 didn't have any mention of the Kremlings. This committee seems to be a group of supervisors who check what is allowed and not in the Mario universe so it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't allow the Kremlings to return for some odd reason. As for Waluigi, sadly NoA doesn't have any voice when it comes to the main decision making which is in NoJ. Waluigi doesn't seem to be popular at NoJ so as a result he gets the short end of the stick.

Well, I can easily see the comittee being real, just not sure, though what Tanabe said does fit with this. This is very dumb of them to do though, making themselves look like hypocrites by replacing old, beloved characters with new and still unique ones anyway, forcing the Mario RPGs to do away with very unique characters besides entirely new ones (so no more Goombella etc.-type characters despite the girl goomba in Odyssey) they can't reuse in further games, and ignoring that Waluigi still fits in very well...and it sucks NoJ doesn't seem to care. I love Nintendo, but sometimes their decisions seem very stubborn and/or ridiculous.

Ok, so on TOK's final boss, I'm gonna slightly retract my statement

Spoiler

The first phase was disappointing, it was really easy, and I honestly thought the game was gonna end there. But the game didn't end there.

It was the 2nd and 3rd phases that got me hooked. King Olly was truly spiraling into madness, and the stakes were raised much more. It was the 2nd phase that threw me in for a loop, as a beloved character gets his time to shine (not saying who), which is rare for a modern Paper Mario game. The third phase's puzzle wasn't hard, but it was frantic as hell. Someone must have really liked quick time events, because it's chock full of them.

It wasn't the battle itself that was great, but moreso on the enviroment and circumstances it had. The 2nd and 3rd phases were frantic and fun to do, even if they were a bit easy. Those two phases really propelled the final boss for me, as it was the first phase, it's be upset

Gonna give Mega Man Fully Charged a watch. It can't be that bad.

That you are, though I do wonder how long a game like this would take with a roster that size

I have it based around content seasons like KI. The "DLC" characters I listed are pure bonus content. But before hand, the "base game" roster is divided into three arcs, one at a time. Starting with your standard Shredder and Krang arc, then the Lord Dregg/Triceraton Army arc, then the Madame Null/Mighty Mutanimals Arc.

It is night where I live.

Currently at my grandfather's House about to make some pizza and then maybe I'll start working with my grandfather on the ears for my Alex Kidd Cosplay.

I plan to use phoskitos as the basis for the design of the ears, which I may make with plastic or some other kind of flexible material:

Alrighty. That does indeed sound fun, but make sure you get the rest you need. I realize that your brothers can be unaware and obnoxious, and ignore the space and time you need to rest. But, when you get the chance to sleep and you need the sleep, please take it ok?

Sounds interesting.

I'm basically taking Forces Tails and giving him his bravery back.

The little fox buddy is known for being timid and a little cowardly early on in the Sonic series' life, but grows in bravery and courage during the series. However, he takes a big step back in Forces and becomes wimpy and lacks the motivation to fend for himself. It felt like his character development was ignored, so the one-shot I'm doing takes place in an AU of Sonic Forces, in which Tails does indeed still have those cowardly moments that he had in the Sonic Forces game... BUT, the ending of the game is changed in which it serves as a set-up for Tails to recognize his flaws and to become brave again.

I wanted to help my favorite Sonic character get back to where his character should be. The one-shot has an ending to Forces that's darker and edgier than in the canon, but not to the point where it gets grimdark (because that would be cringe and it doesn't fit the Sonic series tone AT ALL). And, the ending is sweet and happy so it's all good. I just wanted to do a fun little project to redeem my favorite Sonic character.

On that note, the Boom cartoon did a far better job of writing Tails as of late. Boom Tails is how he should be at all times, and I LOOOOOVE how Tails is written in Boom <3. But anyway, I'm hoping to release said story tonight. I'm just doing some edits now.
