    Luigi was always my favorite character. At first it was simply because he was green(my fav color) then I played Luigi's mansion and immediately thought he was the bravest dude ever simply because he was scared out of his mind, but kept pushing forward to save his brother. Bravery isn't the absent of fear, its being afraid but still going forward.

    Those Mario comics kinda remind me of the Mario RPGs, because they are very good being creative and funny as well. The Mario universe is very open-ended when it comes to story-telling, and I'm surprised at how much the super show and the movie failed for that very reason.

      +Dingalow Yeah, you could argue that the only Mario RPG that did not have any kind of interesting story and/or setup was Paper Mario 64, and even that one has its witty moments, even for a beginner's RPG. The Mario&Luigi series is also pretty good when it comes to trying to be fresh in the series.

    • @TheHumanHollow
      @TheHumanHollow 7 років тому +3

      Yep and although it's the black sheep I'd argue that spm is probably the best story/character development heavy of all of the rpgs. Does it play the best? Not necessarily; it's not even really a true rpg and more of an action/platform rpg, but I stand by it having the best story and characters when it comes to depth and humor.

      +Sebastien Olibrice you get a hint of things like that is Super Paper Mario, but yeah there's really nothing quite like it. Peach needs her own game, a proper one this time. I'd honestly like to see her in a brawler or something like that so that she wouldn't just be a female version of Mario, which she's been doing for a while now with the co-op Mario games. Give her some of her Smash Bros moves and let her use her umbrella, and that could actually be pretty fun. They'll never do it, but I'd play the shit out of it if they did.

    • @sebastieno.1614

The voice of Bowser in this game sounds like a drunk Cookie Monster. Harvey Atkin from the Mario cartoons was a much better fit.

I have no problems with it. Mario wishes he could do half the thing she does in that game-without special items! Just because it’s emotion power doesn’t make it lame. Hell, half of anime characters get powered up in emotional moments. They just gave you control over it in SPP.

      Yes I have. Peach mopped the floor with Zelda. I've also seen the Smash History video on Peach's moveset that goes into great detail about her abilities and the various games it's based on. Much like Goofy, Peach is secretly badass, but Familiar marketing always makes us believe she's just a smiling airhead.

    1:59 - 2:06, 2:36 - 2:47: Well, if you combine the two personalities, doesn’t that fit Mario to a tee? One moment he’s fun and happy go lucky when everything is fine, but another moment he gets determined when something goes wrong. And remember, Charles Martinet, who is actually a french man, based Mario’s personality on Charles’ own portrayal of Gremio from Taming of the Shrew, a William Shakespeare play. Combine that with Miyamoto’s use of Mel Blanc clips in earlier beta stages of SM64, and Christopher Columbus’ portrayal from “Hare We Go” doubles as a bonus for how Columbus’ accent sounded or has a tendency to use pasta names for cussing.

    I'll be frank about this: I got a similar impression out of Pokemon Adventures.
    As someone who grew up playing the games and watching the anime series, I first saw the comics online when I was in high school and just thought it'd do the same thing storywise as they did. But it did more than stick to the general storyline; when I started reading it, I found myself being continuously hooked and kept flipping through the pages just to see what'll happen next in the story. And I think it had to do with the great drawings, the phenomenal action, the addictive storytelling, and AMAZING characterizations. In the end, I was left slack-jawed over what a great adaptation of the games this was!
    FYI, the saga that I stumbled into back then was Ruby and Sapphire.

    What on earth was wrong with Mario Sunshine?! It was like Mario 64 but with the memory and tech power to not only improve but to expand.
    In my opinion its one of those games everyone needs to play, hell its the only Mario game you need to play to get the full Mario experience.
    Never mind that the visuals still hold up and considering its taking place in a holiday resort (which means that pretty visuals are important in reinforcing the setting) thats important for more than just "gud graphics" sake.
    Just don't see why you used that example when there are other crappy Mario games and clones that don't hold anything.

      Well yes I get that but for how he used the example it was like he was pointing out the obvious dud in the franchise. He didn't go into detail as to why it was bad so I assume its because its known as "That bad mario game".
      Like I were to take Avatar as an example of not being up to scratch I would add the live action film, since everyone knows it was a dud, and explaining it is not necessary.
      What did Sunshine do to earn this impression that Doug thinks it has, or does have?

      I was simply wondering why he picked that example when there are so many other Mario games to be able to point to and go "remember that one? Boy wasn't that bad?"
      He took what I have heard to be a well received Mario games, hell in my opinion the best. Its just a confusing choice. Its like saying something like "And Peter Jacksons Career hasn't always been great" and showing a picture of Lord Of The Rings. Simply confusing.
      Also no need to bite my head off dude, I never insulted him about disliking it, just simple confusion with the choice. No need to bring up your "PROTECT CRITIC!" flame shield.

    • @chazzergamer
      @chazzergamer 8 років тому +17

      oni master
      While its ok that you find it disappointing I don't believe that is the consensus.
      For example Mario Sunshine received:
      GameRankings 91.50%
      Metacritic 92/100
      Eurogamer 9/10
      Game Informer 9.75/10
      GamePro 5/5 stars
      Game Revolution A-
      GameSpot 8/10
      GameSpy 5/5 stars
      GamesRadar 4.5/5
      IGN 9.4/10
      NintendoLife 9/10
      Nintendo Power 10/10
      Thunderbolt 9/10
      See what I mean? Its reception is more than impressive. Its certainly not the kind of reaction that warrants such a "Oh yea...THAT game" impression that the Critic was providing.
      And whats so bad about questioning someones opinion on something? Isn't that how debates happen? How you learn about each other and yourself?
      The only people I think that feel that debating your opinion on something as silly or wrong are the kind of people who can't represent their appreciation well enough. I've gotten into debates about anime before and while I have had my opinions questioned I was able to defend it while learning more about the other person as well as myself.

      Third of all, he isn't entirely wrong, though. Both the Nintendo Power comics and The Super Show are the only two times where The Super Mario Bros. franchise have been adapted outside the games with moderate success, the latter of which still have to end up making their own stuff since all the games that existed up to that point didn't exactly leave much to take material from. There was the live-action movie, and look how shitty that turned out. He isn't wrong for asking the question: can Mario work outside the video game realm or not? Personally, that is one of the legitimate concerns I have for the upcoming movie and one that yet remains to be seen.
