Top 10 Reasons Mario kicks ***!

[ChaosStar]

Mario is THE icon of all video gaming, and for many reasons. I wnat YOU to tell me your top 10 reasons Mario kicks ***!

Here are mine:

1. He's a Plumber, who defeats a Dragon-like, f-re breathing turtle, rescues a mushroom princess, and rides a boot wearing dinosaur. How much more original can ya get?
2. His variety of costumes and alternate abilities rivals even kirby!
3. His stories are cool, and still make ya laugh!
4. His brother's name was based on a resteraunt called "Mario & Luigi's"
5. Unlike most heroes, he doesn't need get physically stronger to defeat the final boss. He uses his/your brain to find a weak spot and exploit it.
6. He's been around over 50 years and still keeps it fresh
7. His games ALWAYS have loads of extras.
8. He, like me, is an older brother who surpasses his younger brother in every way.
9. The world he lives in is vibrant and creative, but still has dark elements like war and destruction
10. He's Mario, 'nuff said

What are YOUR top 10 reasons?

 

[ShuffleTrain]

I'm sorry.... I'm color blind and I cannot see most of the things you wrote..

 

[Shock the Hedgehog]

Mario hasn't been around 50 years =/

Mario is still awesome though.

 

[Xanderous]

he was made by nintendo wich was enough to get all of his games, most of wich are crappy and have thus since stopped being unique, into the households of most brainwashed fanboys

We are ALL entitled to our opinions, so leave us alone, and I merely enjoy his games. What is a Mario hater doing on a Mario board anyway?

 

[blazer787]

this is smash boards, alot of mario's recent games have been flops but fanboys by them anyways like it is some sort of religous crime if they don't

In case you didn't notice, this thread is about mario, not sonic.

i never said any thing about sonic

 

[tirkaro]

i never said any thing about sonic

a lot of his recent games being flops? thats sonic. as for mario? The only "flops" in recent mario games would be the recent mario party games, which aren't even made by nintendo.

and if Mario's recent games were flops, how come super mario galaxy is, oh, I dont, know, the highest rated game OF ALL TIME? real big flop right there.

even bad games these days are getting good scores. halo got the same rating, and its insulting to halo. metroid 3 got a worse rating, but it was loads better

If you want to talk about your negative opinions about Mario, why don't you go somewhere where the people will actually agree with you? You certainly aren't going to convert anyone to the dark side hater camp with your current attitude.

I want to QFT you, but sadly, I am a Sonic fanboy. I will take your comment about my favorite character with a grain of salt, knowing that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that I will not change your opinon by acting like a two-year old. (See what I did there, Blazer?). So let's just say that I agree wholeheartedly about the Marioparty games.

 

[ChaosStar]

Okay, that's enough

even bad games these days are getting good scores. halo got the same rating, and its insulting to halo. metroid 3 got a worse rating, but it was loads better

Okay, now, this is a SERIOUS case of denial and hypocracy! Good games are rated as they should be, Mario Galaxy was every BIT as good as Halo if not better, it DESERVED the ratings it got (I doubt a jerk like you ever took the time to PLAY it!)

and, finally, you criticize fanboys, when I can see from that comment that you are a SERIOUS Metroid and Halo fanboy! Seriously, I bet you **** off to Samus AND Master Chief!

After reading this message, don't post again unless it's an apology for wasting space on this thread, and NEVER COME TO THIS THREAD AGAIN!

 

[blazer787]

i didn't like any of the metroid games other than corruption, the only reason i bought halo 3 was because my friend brought over halo 2 and i liked it. i rented, and beat several times galaxy and it was worse than a CDI game.
*readies 100 flame shields*

 

[ChaosStar]

I didn't ask for an explanation used to cover your own fanboy A**, that just means you **** off only to master chief! What I asked for was an apology for your hater crap even APPEARING in a thread on a this part of the forum (this IS the part for mario), eithier give me that, or never show your avatar on ANY of my threads again!

Seriously, did you come to this part of the forum JUST to rip on Mario fans?

BTW, Galxy only came out what, 2 and a half weeks ago? Either you have ALOT of time to play games that you hate, or you're lying to give your claims credibility

Considering that all our avatars are premade, that might not be the easiest thing in the world. . .

But seriously. Don't fight fire with fire, because the smoke just gives everyone a headache.

Sorry, but this jerk is REALLY working my last nerve!

 

[Airmicro]

Not loving mario gameplay is an opinion.
Loving MP3 gameplay is an opinion.
Saying that mario galaxy as been put more work into it, as better graphics and is way more popular than MP3 is a fact.

BTW, did you know that MP3 isn't popular at all in Japan? These guys simply hate FPS.
Again, that's simply personal opinion.
But you can't say the game simply sucks if lots of people like it. You should say : I don't like the game instead of This game sucks so bad that I'd prefer watching the complete Zelda anime 3 times in a row with the Wand of Gamelon voice acting.

 

[ChaosStar]

Can we get back to the topic at hand, please? Mainly, YOUR top 10 reasons Mario Kicks ***?

shock the hedgehog told my to come here.
i got a 3 day rental, mainly because my sister scratched the crap out of some of my 360 disks and i got bored of murdering my friend in halo. galaxy was easy and lame compaired to titles on other consols or the rare ones on the wii.

oh right back on topic,
he's cool because... ummm...... he can.... he can shoot fireballs.... thats cool....

 

[limitbreak]

I read the first post and the only thing i really noticed was that you said Mario was around for 50 years. Dude ... maybe half of that?? lol

 

[ChaosStar]

[blazer787]

but i got back on topic

 

[ChaosStar]

Sorry, I didn't know that got posted. BTW, sorry for freaking out. We are all entitled to our opinions, but don't try to force them on me, okay?

I have reasons why I think nintendo makes many good games for the Wii and the others don't make as many, but that is not saying that you are wrong, we just have different tastes.

I played a bit of Galaxy and was blown away by it, but that's just me.

 

[Dragonbreath]

Okay, here's ten:

10: He's not one of those gel-headed ever-so-bishoshuen RPG characters. Middle-aged Italian > Sephiroth.
9: People who mess with him get back-thrown cross-country.
8: He has a posse.
7: He can jump around on instable platforms fifty-kajillion feet above sealevel without so much as batting an eye.
6: He may be communist propaganda.
5: He digs sports. Who doesn't dig sports?
4: He's got a hammer and he knows how to use it.
3: The mustache. It's awesome.
2: When a rampaging Gorilla takes his girlfriend, he doesn't wait around for the cops, he goes out and kicks some hairy gorilla ***.

And the number one reason Mario is awesome? Drumroll please. . .

. . .Some people try to be cool with fancy clothes and limit breaks. Some people try to be cool by waving a gun around and not shaving.

But Mario doesn't have to try to be cool. Because he's not cool.

. . .He's awesome.

 

[Cless]

I like gel-headed bishounen characters... well, some of them anyway.

Also, Luigi can jump higher than Mario.

Let's see, he's smart enough to not break blocks with his head.
Tanuki suit is quite possibly one of the best power ups ever.
If Nintendo made a Mario Accountancy game, it would probably still be decent.
He has a sweet new flying costume.
And some more stuff.

I was also disappointed with Galaxy, and that game should not be played with 2 people.

 

[iMichael]

10: He doesn't have fancy clothes (ex: dark red eyes, ninja stars, armor, helmets etc.)
9: He's a plumber who doesn't even work and still gets paid!!
8: He's got a movie! (real people)
7: He can soar through galaxies and land on the weirdest planets while fear being the last thing on his mind.
6: A super strong Gorilla and a fire breathing turtle dragon lol can't take him out.
5: He can jump through paintings =D
4: He's been around for more than 20+ years (not 50 lol)
3: Mario's games will never die, trust me on this one.
2:Mario's games doesn't flop like a certain hedgehog we know of. This hedgehog sucks so much that Mario and his entourage couldn't even save him. (Mario and Sonic at the Olympics)

....lets get down to business...what really makes Mario cool?....why has he been around for so long?....when is he going to die? there's all these questions but there's only one answer for them....


Answer is....




Mario doesn't target the hardcore gamers and is family friendly. His games bring back memories and he's the one who really started it all. People say that "he's just a fat sweaty pl0mmer go D13 no0bz...halo 3 w1ll outs3lL G4laxy!" 1. Mario isn't fat and 2. When you really think about it, if it wasn't for him, you guys wouldn't have your Master Chief...so think about it!...he's never going to die =D

 

[PrettyGoodYear]

10. He's got retro games that are totally nostalgic
9. After the nostalgia wears off, those games still kick ***.
8. He defined 2D platformers.
7. And the 3D ones as well.
6. He can run around, arms open like an airplane, and look completely awesome.
5. His voice is awesome.
4. He's been underwater, in outer space, into paintings...
3. He has met up with his younger self and kicked *** with him
2. His character design is so solid, it hasn't changed through the years, even though it was built around the arcade system's capabilities.
1. Without him, gaming as we know it wouldn't exist.

 

[blazer787]

must resist temptation to bash people on this topic for several reasons

 

[SmashWolf]

Why Mario kicks butt.

10: He fixes your toilets.
09: He's a jumping maniac that eats ''shrooms'' and stomps on your frikkin' pet turtle, yet he's still bad ***.
08: Mario is one of the most customizable characters there is. Super Saiyan 3 Mario? Sure. Crazy plumber on drugs? Your call.
07: He wears the same dirty clothes all the time, but teh ladies love him!
06: He's popular with hairy gorillas, fiery dragons, freaky witches, scary ghosts, and lotsa other monsters.
05: He's made video gaming what things are. Sure, somebody else would've started the thing, but how would that turn out?
04: He started it, he continues it. Even now he still makes fun games. Mario just never ends!
03: You can make a freakin' "fix the toilet" game starring him, but it'd still be good.
02: He's what you'd call "original."
01: His dirty 'stache.

 

[Bigbattle22]

My 10 reasons

10: He's red (My fav color)
9: He's fearless
8: Mario's games will never die
7: the 10 year rivaly with Sonic
6: He's a plumber
5: unreal jumps
4: Doesn't need to get physically stronger to defeat the final boss, he uses skill and strategy to beat the final boss
3: His stories are cool
2: he's an original
1: his FS on Brawl is Kickin!

 

[AdmantNESS]

10. Wields fire
9. Heroic and humble
8. Fat, but still agile and quick.
7. Strong enough to break bricks with hands or feet
6. Strong enough to spin toss 150-200 lb. Koopa King.
5.Can effortlessly carry a machine on his back containing several gallons of water that has to be heavy, and still do all that jumping around and platformer-business like he wasn't carrying anything at all WITH NO STRAIN OR EFFORT AT ALL.
4. Has short stature that makes big enemies hard to hit him.
3. He's like Yoda or Kingdom Hearts Mickey Mouse, except that he doesn't need a weapon to kick ***!
2. Blubber that protects him from near extreme heat or cold.
1. Can wield the ******* Stars!

 

[Banana_Dragon]

Aha! Something positive on the Brawl boards! Me likes very much!

(in no particular order: )
1: His first game sold 40.23 million copies making it "by far" the most sold game ever, beating even Tetris.
2: His most recent game broke another record by selling half a million copies in the first week of release.
3: He's the only one who jumps on turtles, dressed as a raccoon and still be a badass.
4: He is a plumber, doctor, ex-carpenter, painter, kart racer, tennis player, golf player, baseball player, soccer player, basketball player, dancer and hero all in one. (I mean, how multi-talented can one get?)
5: He get's to ride a dinosaur whilst wearing a cape.
6: Whether he's fighting a gorilla, a royal family of dragon-esque turtles, an alien, an evil santa claus with five heads or a guy with a monocle capable of altering dimensions, he still wins.
7: He get's to eat cake with a princess.
8: Even as a baby he was already capable of obtaining superpowers, such as donning a cape and running superfast.
9: He is the official rival to the fastest thing alive (who is also awesome, by the way)
10: The only person who is capable of naturally, without technological or magical ehancements, jumping higher than him is his own brother.

 

[Foe]

He's got an awesome mustache.

 

[SpitFire15]

Okay, here's ten:

10: He's not one of those gel-headed ever-so-bishoshuen RPG characters. Middle-aged Italian > Sephiroth.

Mario's not middle-aged, he's like 24 (been around since 1983).

Anyways..

1. His moustache is manly.
2. His favorite food is pasta (like me).
3. He gets all the ladies (Pauline, Peach, Daisy, Rosalina).
4. He can throw Bowser like he's a toddler, and that's without even using steroids.
5. His jumps make LeBron James cry.
6. He is bi-lingual (English and Italian).
7. One minute he's humble and friendly, the next he's ****** your anus with his Final Smash.
8. He is multi-talented (plumber, doctor, racer, hero, sports jock, fighter, referee, etc).
9. He won't die.
10. The Mario franchise is the best selling video gaming series of all time. This is actually a fact, which makes him that much greater.

 

[Cless]

Mario's not middle-aged, he's like 24 (been around since 1983)..

Going by that logic, Mario would have been 1 in Donkey Kong.

 

[Collective of Bears]

10- He's awesome
9- He has an awesome Racoon suit
8- He scored Peach :O
7- He is manly
6- He beats the crap out of Turtles for fun
5- He's Italian
4- He's a plumber
3- He has a giant hammer
2- His mustache is only compared to that of the buff guy from Godzilla: Final Wars
1- All of the above
