He's been a plumber, a construction worker, a pharmacist, a baker, an artist, a composer, a typing instructor, and a toy magnate. He's fought dragons and tamed dinosaurs. He's an expert at practically every major sport in the world. He's close friends with top scientists, romances nobility, and still always has time for his brother. He once let Bowser kidnap him, just to know what it felt like. He is...the Most Interesting Character in Video Games.*unintelligible mock Italian*WHA-HOO!
But can he see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?Please don't kill me.
Personally I find Cranky Kong to be a more interesting character.Think about it. In cannon. He is the original Donkey Kong (yes we know DK is in Yoshi's Island 2 but SHUT UP) and yet throughout all the DK country series. He's portrayed as a good guy and mentor to DK. This means that sometime after the original Donkey Kong game, old Cranky wound up going on the straight and narrow. He is the only truly redeemed villain in all of the Mario canon.
>>87671Shadow Siren Vivian.
>>87673OK. The most recognizable redeemed villain in the Mario cannon.
>>87675I dunno, man, most people don't even recognize Cranky Kong as being related to the Mario canon, but everyone's gay for Vivian.
>>87693Well, Donkey Kong Country starts with Cranky playing the original Donkey Kong theme while standing on red girders before getting blown to crap by the actual intro. That's something.
>>87702Let's add to that list that he handles so many items of mystical power he's a master class sorcerer by now.
Not to mention all the Time, Space, and Reality traveling. Making him an Astronaut, Chrononaut, and Slider.
... Is Bionaut a word? I mean is that what they called the people in "Fantastic Voyage."
Leave us not forget that every woman within radius of his magnificent mustache wants a piece of him.
>>87706>VivianHehehe
>>87707Yeah. Dem stripes.
>>87671>In cannonAnd then he was shot into a wall. The End.>>87703What's that Brown jumper with the glowy hands from?
>>87716Galaxy.
>>87718I really have to get around to finishing that.
>>87716That was Super Mario 64, after you get all the stars. Best secret ever.
>>87750
I'm gonna post more Mario stuff now. I don't know when I'll stop.
>>87838...I always wondered what ghost houses were like when no one else was around.

Studio Ghibli Presents.The Mushroom Kingdom.
I'm certain Miyamoto and the gang had the best of intentions when they designed Mario Co-op.and then WE got our hands on it.
Wouldn't you love to play a Mario game that looked like this?
>>87863If the Kirby yarn game does well, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Mario game that uses different styles for various levels. It would be a nice change and could make for some interesting power ups; maybe even change the style of a level in order to reach secret areas.
>>87873You mean a game besides Paper Mario.
>>87885Paper Mario is a little more like a Matisse cut out.What I want is more like an Expressionist painting.
>>87908How about a game where Mario can enter paintings of different styles.
>>87855That is the best Yoshi.>>87833This describes my feelings for Super Mario Land perfectly.
>>87850Want to terrify your players in a D&D campaign?Put the oversized key they need to the next area on a small, open pedestal against a wall. Hanging above the pedestal are three masks, each identical in bearing a cruel smile across their simple red and white faces, appearing to watch the players through black, soulless eyes.The moment of realization is wonderful.
>>87916MARIO'S MASTERPIECE! EACH WORLD A DIFFERENT ART STYLE!
>>87933Paper Mario Masterpiece.One part Super Paper Mario, one part Super Mario 64. You navigate a world with paintings, and there are a half dozen different art styles, all based on real artists, with Toad personifications. This time around Bowser is trying a different tactic. Instead of kidnapping the Princess outright, he plans to entice her in other, materialistic ways. He's kidnapped six famous Toad painters and forced them to do various paintings for him to present to the Princess. He's hooked these paintings into various worlds so that he can use those as a staging point to launch the other parts of the plan (as well as his world domination once the Princess is out of the way). You're put on a mission to rescue the painters. You have an overworld "Art Museum" that you use to enter the paintings. The style of the painting dictates the style of the world and the special powerups/moves that Mario can use in that world. A Salvador Dali world allows you to bend certain parts of the world. A Picasso, with its sharp edges, lets you drill through certain portions of the world. And so forth.You can make it through the game without saving any of the painters and just unlocking areas to eventually beat Bowser's ass (who just says "fuck it" and kidnaps the Princess anyway). But when you unlock artists, you can pay them to recreate certain paintings, which will then be displayed next to the existing one(s). (When you start, there will be bare spots indicating that another painting is expected next to the one up.) When you enter the world through these, the world is in that style and has that style's moves/powerups. This allows you to access other areas/stars.Instead of beating Bowser three times THE EXACT SAME WAY BUT FASTER, you have to fight him in the six different styles. If you've rescued a painter, you get an extra move in that style, which also makes it easier to defeat Bowser in that style. And maybe we can throw in FLUDD now and then for washing away paint. Actually, let's just use Yoshi.
>>87954And Yahtzee hates it.The fucker.
>>87863Like Kirby 64?
>>87959Yahtzee hates most good things. One thing you can be fairly sure of, though, is that if Yahtzee likes something it is good.And he's funny, though he's gone downhill a bit.
>>87963>And he's funny, though he's gone downhill a bit.He really just keeps repeating the same things."Only Nintendo sequels are rehashes!" and "Quick-time events are the devils tool!"He needs to add some variety.
>>87963Also, he liked Paper Mario, so he might something like this.
>>87968>He needs to add some variety.So does the gaming industry. Dohohoho!
no one posted this yet?
>>87954Throw at least a single Van Gogh style world in and I'll take ten copies.
>>89711 That song's Tsarist.
>>87954Maybe you could throw in the Wario Bros, who are trying to kidnap the famous painters before Mario can save them so they can get rich forcing the toads to make cheap knock offs of their own work.
It'd be nice to have Wario as the big bad again. Especially with Waluigi or WarioWare Inc. joining the fray. Most of the members are good people, of course, but it's not like we can't find a good reason for good guys to face off once in awhile. Like, 9-Volt would probably not mind the chance to go toe-to-toe with one of his heroes. After defeat, they could always just hang around with the brothers, not doing much besides providing interesting commentary and conversation between levels.
>>87959He also seems to hate Peach
>>90885People like Peach?
Rada rada rada.
>>90966NO SCHNITZEL WE CAN'T THROW HIM IN THE FURNACE!
