Top 10 Reasons Mario kicks ***!

[SpitFire15]

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

Sure, why not? j/k

The one line was meant to be a joke, but I really don't think Mario is middle-aged...

 

[Lord Climactis]

Luigi actually jumps higher and runs faster, but he's not balanced as is Mario. He's clumsy, he slips, he's not aerodynamic.

I'm in on this game, Mario rocks because...
10- He possesses the most incredible super powers (flying, jumping, becoming metallic, invincibility, intangible, etc.)
9- It's impossible to mess up a Mario game with a new idea
8- His platforming rocks
7- He has so many dang lives! When will the mushroom's end
6-Over the years he's collected at least a billion in coins
5- He can sell all those stars for even more money
4- He defies gravity
3- He can clean an entire island in a matter of days
2- He can actually look fashionable in a plumber suit
1- He could kick any hero's butt, yes, even Sonic's

 

[Lgndknight]

#8 is wrong, Mario doesn't surpass Luigi in

Green wearing ability
Jumping
having the best alter-Ego(Mr.L)
Moustache Style
Ability to conjure lightning.

 

[Demonplant]

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

 

[Lord Climactis]

#8 is wrong? That had nothing to do with Luigi! You mean the introductory sentence, and well... I'm afraid your wrong. I've read on a few of the Nintendo intentions and it said directly that Luigi was meant to be a higher jumper and faster runner. But that doesn't put Jumpman (Mario) behind him at all, because, as seen in Luigi's Mansion and the Luigi's Mansion galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy, Luigi is a coward and very clumsy. Maybe that's why he jumps high, he's so scared he's knocked into the air from fright.

Maybe that's why he jumps high, he's so scared he's knocked into the air from fright.

My personal theory about why Luigi's different from Mario (sliding, jumping higher, being "floatier") is because the laws of physics affect Luigi differently (friction, gravity, etc.). Maybe because of some sort of macabre experiments performed on him when he was kidnapped at a young age (planting the seeds of darkness in his heart that would form Mr. L). Or maybe it's his shoes.

But anyway.

In no particular order:

10. Nintendo's flagship character. Has sold more games and systems than any other character or series ever has.
9. More star power than most galaxies.
8. A loose, relatively freeform canon allows for creative alternate interpretations of his past, present, and future.
7. Mario has killed the sun, survived being thrown to the ground from a low earth orbit (at least twice!), and survived the big bang.
6. Has defined and developed more genres than any character. The evolution of Mario as a character mirrors the evolution of the video game industry. Or is it the other way around?
5. The quintessential everyman, Mario's primary attire consists of the three primary colors (red shirt/hat, blue overalls, yellow cape). Cultures and groups of people with little else in common love Mario and "adopted" him into their culture.
4. His games are for people who don't buy into the "MATUR GAMERS ONLY PLAY GAMES RATED M!" hype.
3. Though he's always able to meet the challenge using only his own power, he has one of the most (if not THE most) diverse sets of extra equipment of any character ever. He doesn't need a glowing symbol on his hand to be brave.
2. His extensive series of spinoffs includes both live-action and animated movies/series as well as almost any type of product imaginable.
1. He has to be the most experienced, well-traveled character in video game history. In 25+ years, there's practically nowhere left Mario hasn't been, and practically nothing he hasn't done.

 

[blazer787]

i'm suprised no one has mentioned his drug abuse yet

 

[Banana_Dragon]

Yeah, lol, that reminds me of that one jail cell scene in Super Paper Mario in level 2-3.

"Must have mushrooms, precious mushrooms, can't go on without mushrooms." Lol, classic, seems Nintendo is aware of the joke

 

[Micheloxx]

ok man what i can say, im an older brother two, but i like luigi XD, i dont know y but i just like to play more the green guy, in EVERY SINGLE GAME XD, i like mario two, od course XD

 

[SolidSonic]

10. Itsa Mario.
9. His name is Mario. Like God and Snake, he has no last name. (best reason in thread)
8. He shoots fireballs out of his hand while wearing a glove.
7. All of his game's adventures revolve around getting pu$$y.
6. He uses drugs to give him a boost.
5. He is Mario.
6. He is Mario.
5. He is true mastermind behind Nintendo.
4. He has a brother who is equally cool, but paradoxically not as cool at the same time.
3. He is break dancing plumber who warps through pipes.
2. His enemies are turtles and goombas whom he pwns.
1. He never speaks, yet everything is understood. Perhaps he uses telepathy.
0. He single handedly keeps the Italian stereotype alive.

(not in order of greatness, intentionally used bad grammar)

 

[ness4life]

10. He has been used in god-awful educational games, and still retains his awesomness.
9. He can jump ridiculously high, even though he has a serious beer gut.
8. He uses 'shrooms.
7. He's the first plumber to think of wearing overalls.
6. He shoots BOUNCING fireballs out of his hands, even though this is basically impossible.
5. He's so awesome he has his own clone army! (Luigi, Wario, Dark Mario, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Wario, Waluigi (clone of a clone of mario))
4. He can believe it's not butter.
3. He's so cool that his arch nemesis is an equally cool evil yellow dragon thingy.
2. His original enemy was a ******* giant monkey!!
1. Super Mario Galaxy

 

[blazer787]

if galaxy is 1 than it makes mario look like a crappit

 

[ness4life]

Well, Galaxy is AMAZING.

Try it. You'll see why I put it at # 1

 

[blazer787]

but i already rented it and beat it. it isn't anything special

 

[Cless]

I think 64 was way better than Galaxy.

 

[blazer787]

i can agree on that

 

[SmashWolf]

Dunno why, but I like Sunshine better than Mario 64 and Galaxy.

 

[ChaosStar]

I, once again, spring back in to get everyone back on topic. And Blazer, you are clearly a mario hater, why are you still here? Why are ANY mario haters here?!

 

[blazer787]

if you count disappointed in the quality of nintendo games over the past several years as a hater, then i guess i am.

 

[pure_awesome]

if you count disappointed in the quality of nintendo games over the past several years as a hater, then i guess i am.

Personally, I count it was ignorant and whiny. But hey, that's just me.


Anyway:

10. His primary means of locomotion is a dinosaur.
9. Raccoons don't fly, and Mario doesn't care.
8. He made flowers cool again.
7. Master Chief needs all sorts of guns and stuff to save the world. Mario needs shoes. Maybe a cape if he's getting bored.
6. The only Italian to ever look cool wearing a cape.
5. Nobody destroys a castle with a mallet quite like Mario.
4. When you're Mario, every second is two seconds. Because you're cool like that.
3. The moustache.
2. Can shoot bouncing fireballs through his gloves. While underwater.
1. Our Princess Is In Another Castle.

 

[blazer787]

in regards to number 7.
wich is more effective in defeating an army of highly armed and armored aleins, a shoe or a rocket launcher/ shotgun?

 

[pure_awesome]

Effective? Well I don't know. I suppose it would depend on the kind of shoe. I mean, is it a big, atomic shoe? Is it made of adamantium? Does it fire lasers? You'll have to be specific.

And this shotgun you speak of, it's just the gun? No shells? ...I mean, you'd think there would be shells.
Well, if it's just the gun, then I suppose you're right, that would be pretty ineffective.

Why?

 

[ChaosStar]

if you count disappointed in the quality of nintendo games over the past several years as a hater, then i guess i am.

Then what games DO you like? Let me guess, XBox Halo? Well, I don't really care for halo. It's an online shooter, big whoop.

Now, like I said, let's get back on topic and Blazer787, leave and let us enjoy what WE enjoy without you telling us not to.

If you don't like mario, fine, just don't try to force your opinions on us. I will believe Mario sucks when they release a nonstop chain of canon mario games I, repeat I, think are crappy!

 

[SpitFire15]

Why does this blazer guy continue to post in here and potentially try to ruin this thread?

ok i'll get back on topic,
lets see, he hides shrooms in his shoes to junk out on and use to make them heavier
he can hald a bomb in his hands and only get scratched when it blows up
he has invented a way to turn pennies into health
he can run aroud and make noises in space with only the clothes on his back
he's light enough to fly by a hat but heavy enough to stomp the crap put of people.

 

[ChaosStar]

Just get off this thread, kay? Nobody benefits from you being here!

I'm not judjing you on your likes, but even if I was, you can KEEP your filthy shoes!

 

[Banjodorf]

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

Hey man, I happen to love mario, I even think some of the Mario Party games were great (last few have been disastrous, but whatever)

If you want to talk negatively about him, take that crap somewhere else, k?

 

[Psydon]

Another reason Mario kicks ***.

He's fat and yet extremely athletic. =D

 

[error_alt_delete]

all of those things show how awsome mario is.

my reasons:

1.he was in galaxy, best game I ever played IMO.(also highest rated game ever made)
2.he is mother******* mario
3.he can hit planets at the speed of a comet and not break his legs.
4.he was the one who defined 3D and 2D gameing. he basicaly is the definition of gameing.
5.he will probably lead us to 4D.
6.he is a plumber and still can score a princess.
7.he can battle a magic fire breathing turtle and his army on a star and win.
8.he can take on the powers of most anything.(star, mushroom, spring shroom, boo shroom, fire flower, racoon suit, frog suit, hammer bros suit*my favorite*, leaf power, red star*flying power*, ect)
9.he is the biggest video game character hands down
10. he can eat a mushroom and grow twice his size, all while dodgeing giants bullet bills.

 

[Lgndknight]

Mario is amazing because

He makes red look good.
Wears overalls
Is the rival of a talking hedgehog
Always get the girl
Shoots fire
Walks on water
Can survive with a spring coiled around him
Can take a punch, and give it back tenfold
Uses items
and finally...
Is good at every sport known to man, and races of tiny beings who eat stars.

 

[ChaosStar]

All true. Keep going, people.

 

[Cless]

4.he was the one who defined 3D and 2D gameing. he basicaly is the definition of gameing.

He defined platforming. Not gaming in general.

 

[Lord Climactis]

I've got more...
0. He's the most balanced gaming icon in the world
-1. He's one of the most hilarious heroes this world has seen
-2. He can throw a four-ton dragon through the netherworlds and still not strain a muscle
-3. He has such a huge weapon arsenal I wouldn't put it past him to take over the world in a few weeks
-4. He's probably the smartest hero seen
-5. He's had a movie made of him
-6. He has more than a dozen games of him (all of which are at least good and most of which are AWESOME!!!)
How can you be disappointed with Nintendo when they're beating the Xbox without using their High Definition graphics or online techniques?

why...isn't it working!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ChaosStar]

Ok, blazer, have it your way, mario sux, halo rules. in fact, let's see why HALO is awesome:

1. It has guns
2. it's online
3. it has guns and is online.
4. It has good graphics.
5. Um... it has good graphics and guns...and is online.
6. People tell me to love it.
7. It was the first online game with guns, and therefore all other online gun games, no matter how good, suck.
8. It's rated M, that means if I play it, I'm mature.
9. I'm not out of reasons.
10. Um... Nice weather?

I can also predict your response to this:

OMG, YOU WUZ SARCASTIC! HALO PWNS, NOOB! DON'T ASK WHY, IT JUST DOES!

Response to thaT:

I don't talk like that, and I'm not a fanboy!

You could solve all your problems RIGHT NOW if you just STAY AWAY FROM THIS THREAD!
