What are you talking about? I don't have an outline and partial script for a Larry-Boy Origins movie and spinoff Serialized Show written on my laptop. You're making baseless accusations!

What do you mean I'm the one who brought it up!?!

What do you MEAN I'm talking to myself!

And alas, the grand finale, the final winner. With 22 votes counted, the winner is...

Spoiler: Drumroll please

THE MARIO UNIVERSE. Mario wins 14-8.

Spoiler: What does this mean to me

1. Fighting games aren't very popular on the boards. Fatal Fury and Tekken both lost round 1. Street Fighter got destroyed round 2. RIP.
2. Non-platformer Third Parties in general faired bad. Majority got eliminated round one, and most adances were vs other third parties.
3. RPGs may have faired the worst of them all. Despite Smash being filled with them, Pokemon was the only one that made it past round two, and all lost to a primarly platformer franchise.
4. Smashboards hates more darker/mature franchises. Metroid and Castlevania were the only franchise for mature audiences (say rated T and up) that made it past round two, vast majority got eliminated round one.
5. I heavily disagree with some of the choices y'all made, but I can't rig the vote.
6. Smashboards's favorite food is white bread.

This was actually pretty fun, thanks for participating everyone!

Full disclosure, if it was between Mario and Zelda I'd choose Zelda but that didn't happen

I'll never understand why Sonic and Zelda was that close, let alone why Sonic won it

Hey, no worries

I'm making an outline, concepts and scripts for a Crash Bandicoot cartoon

That isn't even about Crash Bandicoot

I remember you talking about that. It was for Tawna and the Nitro Squad right? I’d like to hear more about that.

Yuppers. After getting back into CTR:NF a few months back, I soon grew attached to the Nitro Squad and decided they'd make a perfect cartoon main cast.

A few days ago I made this post that explains my interpretations of the five. I took some liberties lol, but I think they might be enjoyable to watch in action.

Since I mentioned before I'm beginning work on concepts for a Nitro Squad-focused Crash Bandicoot cartoon, I figured I might show off the character bios for my interpretations of the five gals. Under the spoiler

Spoiler: L o n g

Tawna
Tawna is the leader of the Nitro Squad, and has been ever since she and the other four girls first decided to form a racing team together. Aspiring to be like her boyfriend, the heroic Crash Bandicoot, Tawna is a spunky and tomboyish marsupial who takes her leadership position…relatively seriously. Being the leader, Tawna often finds herself rolling her eyes at her friends’ antics, but she’s not above getting pulled into the hijinx herself. While she can sometimes be snarky and rude when she’s especially annoyed, she’s still very close to her friends and loved ones, and if you mess with them, she won’t let you get away with it without at least one limb missing!
Voice Actor: Misty Lee

Ami
Ami is a playful and adventurous tomboy who loves the thrill of the race. She likes to think she’s brave, but she’s a bit more skittish than she’d like to admit! She’s not exactly the brightest of bulbs, and she cries easier than a grieving cane toad, but she’s got a caring heart and even if she’s afraid, she’ll come through for her friends in the end. Ami’s an accomplished athlete as well as a racer, but she’s not all sweat and fisticuffs – she’s kind, friendly and has a secret love for flowers, though you’d have a hard time getting her to admit it if you don’t know her well enough. Above all, though, Ami is a loyal and lovable friend and will do anything for those she cares about!
Voice Actor: Cissy Jones

Megumi
Megumi is a bubbly and nerdy scientist with a heart of gold. She’s a girly-girl to the core and has a kind heart to match. A wannabe genius, Megumi loves playing with biology, chemistry and the like, but she’s not exactly the best at it… Megumi is very close with her friends and will do anything she can to help them, be it work on their cars or try to cure their allergies with disgusting placebo tonics. While she’s not quite as timid and emotional as Ami, she does have her doormat tendencies – she’ll probably let you win a race if you ask her. Despite her occasional mess-ups and the explosions her science fascination sometimes causes, Megumi’s friends love her and wouldn’t have her any other way!
Voice Actor: Stephanie Sheh

Liz
Liz is a laid-back former supermodel who moved forward from letting British men snap pictures of her…let’s say “tail” and moved on to racing with her friends. She’s a bit sarcastic and loves making jokes and pulling pranks, but deep within that fur beats a heart of gold along with that will of steel. She likes to think everyone has a bit of good inside them – a belief that can sometimes get her into trouble! Alas, Liz can’t help this. Compassion’s in her nature, perhaps even moreso than insulting your mother. While she can sometimes be smug and egotistical, Liz cares just as much about everyone else as she does about herself. Just don’t touch her biscuits!
Voice Actor: Victoria Atkin

Isabella
Isabella is the oldest of the Nitro Squad, but she only wishes she was the most mature! She’s on the temperamental side – beat her in the race and her bitter side will be on full show. But she’s not all rage – like all her friends, she’s got a kind heart and a bit of a dorky nature on the inside. She’s also protective of her squadmates, and like Tawna she’ll do anything she can to keep them happy. She holds a particularly soft spot for Liz, the first true friend she ever had and her surrogate little sister figure. And if you’re a fan of pizza, Isabella is your bandicoot – she’ll talk to you about it for hours. She’s also very skilled at racing and is always willing to help her friends improve their racing skills further!
Voice Actor: Melanie Minichino

Would love to know your favorite of my interpretations!

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Yuppers. After getting back into CTR:NF a few months back, I soon grew attached to the Nitro Squad and decided they'd make a perfect cartoon main cast.

A few days ago I made this post that explains my interpretations of the five. I took some liberties lol, but I think they might be enjoyable to watch in action.

It’s a good portrayal of the cast but I would like to know more about what the show would actually be about.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I still feel kinda bad for Shazam 2

 

[Pink Yoshi]

It’s a good portrayal of the cast but I would like to know more about what the show would actually be about.

So here's the basic gist...

I've been wanting to get this on PBS Kids, but as one with an older-demographic slant than many of the shows (ie it's more of an actionized Arthur than a Daniel Tiger). It falls into the social studies edutainment class, while also teaching important moral lessons of all kinds, plus some extra tidbits about the world and its cultures (like Let's Go Luna). There's lots of racing and action moments of course, with plenty of slice-of-life stuff as well. It's all in service of showcasing the importance of friendship, camaraderie and teamwork. It's kind of like Wild Kratts in a way, but replace animal science and creature power suits with social education and kart racing with some scientist-fighting too.

In fact, if I were to sum it up most simply, I'd say: It's about love. Of all fashions, from all sorts of people and even animals. Love is something shared between so much of our world, no matter where we come from. And this show aims to teach why love is so important!

 

[Noipoi]

My concept is about murder

 

[Shroob]

I'm surprised how sometimes, one thing can lead to another.


Realized I hadn't obtained every sandwich in Scarlet, so I went off hunting the NPC who had them.

When I found them, getting all 151 recipes registered, I noticed a glowing TM ball on the map, and picking it up said it was New.

That was the last TM I was apparently missing, I now have all 171 of them too.


Two birds with one stone.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Now since I've been talking about PBS Kids so much...

Everyone, gather round. I am beginning a PBS Kids Census.
I want to hear your favorite PBS Kids show. Out of all of them. Both cuz I’d love to hear your POVs on their long history of cartoons and other shows.

First of all there's me. And well...

Those animal-loving inventors got me acting unwise.

My vote goes to Wild Kratts.
What is yours?

(Yes, the results will somewhat help to influence how my own cartoon may come out)

Cyberchase

Wild Kratts
And while I was a bit too old for Peg+Cat, I thought it was really cute.

[Pink Yoshi]

Ok but do you know what this phrase means?

I hope it doesn't mean anything offensive...it just seemed to be a funny way of saying "I really like Aviva guys"

I just think she's really cute and adorable and I wanna kiss her face. Considering the Kratts are adults, she's probably around the same age as me anyway.

Nono it's not offensive, it just means you are severely horny

I was worried about that too lol.

I'm redrawing the starters, this time with actual starter Pokémon proportions

Pink Yoshi also wants Ami in Smash

Dragon Tales was my jam when I was little and considering dragons are my longest standing special interest I'll say I am in fact 101% biased in that opinion.

 

[Jondolio]

Alright, please welcome the redesigned starter trio! Also, they finally have names!

First we have Spruppy, the Puppy Pokémon. It's very playful and affectionate. This Pokémon was a popular hunting companion in ancient times, and remains as such to this day. Unfortunately, it's not very good at climbing trees, so when their prey escapes atop a tree, it can only really bark at it from below.

Next is Vipurn, the Fire Snake Pokémon. Vipurn is often seen whistling through the instrument on its tail. It's widely believed that this is where they get their fire powers from. It's fairly anti-social and will usually flee at the sight of people, but those who bond with it find an invaluable ally.

Last but not least is Delphoy, the Dolphin Pokémon. Despite its limited movement on land, it's an expert swimmer and will often swim long distances before returning to its trainer. It can create bubbles using its blowhole and often seems to be trying to recreate human clothes, with limited success.

I really love how much love Donkey Kong is getting in the Super Mario Bros. Movie. He's Mario's og rival and it feels like Nintendo kind of forget about that until fairly recently.

I had a dream that to prepare for the Mario Movie, they remade Mario Galaxy for the Switch. The game looked visually stunning and Rosalina was very pretty, but the teaser was based off the storybook scenes so not much gameplay.

Now I'm kinda mad it's not happening.

It sounds like you just want Paper Mario in a Galaxy setting.
