I don't get those April fool pranks. That's not funny at all.

The thing is, this is worse than not funny. This is cruel. If you've been waiting for this kind of game, even if you know the date, your first reaction will be joy. Then disappointment. So, no thanks.

Comedy is hard work. Memes are easy.

Although I have no clue what exactly this one was trying to say other than Captain Toad and Bioshock have aesthetics that don't gel.

This. It is BS that they didn't even put Super Mario Galaxy 2 in this collection. Why would they do that for? Are they hoping to make it DLC or to remake it?

They felt it was unnecessary cause Mario 64 and Sunshine didn't get sequels... it's a weird perfectionist/imperfectionist thing that I don't know how to describe lol. They are definitely not making it DLC or remaking it... 0 chance of DLC considering you can't even buy the collection anymore.

But we're all old (I'm assuming). If you're a young kid who doesn't even know what Mario 64 is and you get this collection then it's great. I was that demographic for the original All-Stars... well then again, that compilation had great effort put into it. It's just amazing how much more they tried in a more technologically-deficient age. I'm gonna cut myself off here before I start getting nostalgic over the '90s lol.

hump? you people disappoint me

What?

I kinda wish Nintendo would remake Super Mario 3D Land for the Switch... maybe add Peach, Toad, and Rosalina as playable characters since they already have the models and everything from Super Mario 3D World.

Yup; put that time toward a full-blown Bowser's Fury-type game.

^Yes please! So much untapped potential.

So Super Mario-Kun finally got it's first official English speaking release in the form of "Super Mario Manga Mania", and I decided to treat myself by picking it up.

It's a gag manga full of silly puns and jokes and Mario/Luigi/Yoshi/Toad...heck, even Peach at one point getting absolutely brutalised against bad guys until the eventually win, with scenarios based on all of Mario's past adventures.

That got me curious, and low behold, yes...Wario's Woods got an adaption. Sadly(but understandably) that isn't part of this initial manga release which is a collection of chapters from across plenty of adventures, but found this on the blog of warelander (who I hope doesn't mind me sharing these pics from their blog found here):

Yes, you saw correctly!
Toad just summoned a sword with heroic willpower to defeat DEATH ITSELF (okay it's Seizer from Wario's Woods NES, but he's basically the Grim Reaper).

Someone send this to Sakurai, quickly. Toad is officially a swordsman, now there's no excuse now for him not to be in the fighter pass vol 2, Sakurai.

I don't mind at all, I share this stuff so as many as possible can see it!

My favorite part of the whole adaption and it's very much made to be Toad's big moment of heroism, overcoming his fears and saving everyone. It's so good.
