^Well of course that makes a lot of sense. It may be Ok at the age you have now, but that age, I can tell it can be very scary for little kids. When I meant dark I thought of games like Paper Mario TTYD. I loved that game, but some parts were pretty dark

I've never played TTYD. What do you mean?

Quote: Felines

Well yes, as strange as it sounds, new villains in the Mario series are most of the time better than Bowser himself. Grodus... well, he was a villain,

Reveal Spoiler

but the main one was the Shadow Qween remember?

Dark character that was, and the story too. But yes, new villains somehow manage to be cooler than Bowser. Like Fawful for example. I heard that he became a favorite among many fans.

Grodus was the main antagonist. The Shadow Queen was essentially a "sealed evil mad god in a can", which describes extremely powerful final boss characters who do not make an appearance until you fight them. >.>

Yeah, but the Shadow Queen was the main reason of everything that was happening in the game. It's like

Oh wow. I see what you mean.

^It's funny how the most child-looking games can turned out to be some of the darkest.

Like MLP Story of the Blanks. Looks cute but...

Anyway TP is quite dark.

^Yes, but Zelda is suppose to be more darker than Mario. Although kids play it, Mario is the more suitable when it comes to children... although there are several games that can get too far.

Like LM and personaly BIS was to far for me.

OK, I know LM is for Luigi's Mansion, but what about BIS? Sorry, there are just too many Mario games.

Bowser's Inside Story

^What? That game was too dark for you? Well, I don't know the reason (maybe because of the blorbs?), but if you play PiT (Partner's in Time), you will see that it's one dark game, much more than BiS. The boss's soundtrack is one of my favorites. It's both creepy and sad. It is one very unique game this one

No I just meant it was kinda gross :/ What consle is PiT for?

Nintendo DS

^Yeah, and that game is in fact the prequel to BIS. The both come from a Mario trilogy;

1) M&L Superstar Saga (GameBoy Advance)
2) M&L Partners in Time (Nintendo DS)
3) M&L Bowser's Inside Story (Nintendo DS)

One of the best trilogies in gaming if you ask me, and I have played plenty of them. All three games are excellent in their own unique way

I think Lugli better.

^Why is it that, sometimes, sidekicks and/or secondary characters turned out better and cooler than the protagonist themselves?

^ I just prefer him more!

^So if that's the case, what is your favorite game then?

Yeah, PiT is quite dark for a Mario game. It's my least favorite in the trilogy though, since there's hardly anything to do once you beat it.

I got my copy of it off eBay and File 1 had all four Bros at Level 99 with most of the beans and a good bunch of the items. I did start a new file, though, and it was good to play through.

Yeah, I admit it was quite dark for a Mario game. It has a bizarre story as well. Despite that I enjoyed the game a lot. Playing as four different characters was sure fun. From the three games in the series, I think it has the best puzzles and gameplay if you ask me. And that final boss music (well, the true final battle actually) Man, that was beyond epic. Just listen to that music

It's the same composer for Kingdom Hearts, what were you expecting? <.< >.>

^Well, now that makes a LOT of sense. That's something I didn't research. KH soundtrack is really awe-inspiring. Just like Zelda, I am recently starting to play that series as well... oh but the controls are so hard to adapt to...

But getting back to that Mario soundtrack, who said that Koji Kondo is the one with all the masterpiece? So that means that the person who composed that song also composed the final battle in Bowser's Inside Story. That is yet another epic soundtrack. That's talent

I REALLY need to get SMS. I have played it before but I don't own it.

^ Darn. I just discovered that my game isn't in it's case. Where did I put it? I need to find it

Try under the bed.

SMS is Super Mario Sunshine, a game made for the gamecube.

She also did Super Mario RPG. >.>

^ Another fact I didn't know. That's it, whoever the person is, I am going to research it

...OK, I did it. Her name is Yoko Shimomura. Now that is one woman with talent

I love Mario games I own TONS, and I mean tons, of Mario games! You name it I got it: the classics (on Virtual Console and a few on SNES), the entire paper mario and mario & luigi trilogies, every mario kart game (except for the arcade machines), both galaxy games, every mario party except for Mario Party-e and the arcade machine, all of the smash bros games, and sooooooo much more!!! If you want to know more just ask.

^LOL, you have a whole library of Mario games. You can even open a museum someday

I know! I have so many my parents got rid of most of the game cases and put the discs in a disc binder thing and put the cartridges in a box! If you want to know which ones I own besides the ones I said, I also own: most mario tennis games (except for advance and virtual boy), a couple mario golf games, mario sports mix, Super Mario 3D Land, DK Country's 1, 2 & 3 (on Game Boy Advance), DK Land 1 & 2, every console mario & sonic olympics game, one handheld mario & sonic olympics game (the london one on 3ds), all four mario advance games, Donkey Konga, Super Mario 64 DS, all four Mario vs. DK games, a few Dr. Mario games, Yoshi's Story, Yoshi's Island DS, Yoshi Topsy Turvy, etc. If you want a complete list click this link: http://videogamebros.weebly.com/our-collections.html the list is always being updated every time I get a new mario game so don't worry about outdated info!

Do you have Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island? That's one of my favorites
Hey, I also have the Donkey Kong Country trilogy (for the SNES) Those were my first games

Yoshi's Island was a fantastic game. The only reason I like the first Super Mario World more is because it's longer. But Yoshi's Island had more of an emphasis on unique platforming gimmicks and exploration of colorful 2D levels. >.>

Super Mario World may be longer, but Yoshi's Island was much harder, and thus, making it feel longer. The childish background and cheery music, plus the fantastic gameplay makes this game beyond epic

It was really well done because every level brought with it new and different type of platforming challenge. Some of the challenges were later reused in later levels, but the gimmicks weren't used so frequently that they got stale. Everything was innovative.

My fav is Super mario sunshine

^Many people love that game. But I wonder why it was so underrated. It really is a good game.

At first, I thought it was a kids-oriented game, but that's not the case at all. Even long-time players can have trouble completing this game. It surely gets harder and harder by the level. Oh, and that final boss is so intense, and that incredible music makes it even more

The thing is, getting 100 points on the level can be quite difficult. <.<

^Yeah, that's quite an issue. I bet they did it to make the game much more challenging and longer. I must say that this game can keep you very busy, but it's worth playing

Super Mario Galaxy is by far the best! Second Favorite would me either Super Mario World or Paper Mario 64

JuSt recently bought Super Paper Mario.

I gotta say. My favourite line is from the first boss fight. "CTRL ALT DEL!"

CTRL ALT DEL? Like the words the keyboard has?

Super Paper Mario rocks I actually found the 100 door trials really fun

Fracktail says it when it's going BAZONKERS in Chapter 1. <.<

Well, definitely has something to do with computers... I guess he is a machine then.

Yep. He also said a bunch of other random things.

I haven't played paper Mario. Whats it like?

It's a turn based RPG. <.<

SPM is REALLY good and underrated

^ I heard it is underated, but that doesn't keep my hopes down. SMS is really underrated too, and the game was great. I simply LOVED the other two Paper Mario games, so I hope I'm in for a really great time with the conclusive game
