in the shell

Just a topic for Mario games, and a wee little poll. The poll is strictly going by the more platformer type games... as in, the main Mario games. No golf, no (bloody excellent) Mario Kart, no Square's Super Mario RPG, etcetera...

So... what do you prefer to call her, anyway? Princess Toadstool, Princess Peach, or Daisy? (Daisy's actually incorrect by the way, she was a different princess from Super Mario Land)

For me, it's Priness Toadstool... That's what she was introduced as, so that's how I think of her.

And also, do you think these naughty little Sonic people should quit beating up on Mario? Naughty, naugthy random people who aren't called "spica"...

I voted before I could think. My favorite Mario game is the RPG mario game called Paper Mario: the Thousand Year Door. It's amazingly good. I still have to finish it. I'm on the last level. It's adorable.

Ooh... I have yet to play the Paper Mario games. Somewhere in the world of Mario-related games, I got lost and I've never caught up. And now we have a DS, and there is loads of catching up to do there as well. Paper Mario sounds so cool though... I am glad I am not a child anymore- I used to follow all Mario and Sonic games so religiously back then, but if there were as many as there are now, I'd never have been able to afford it all and I'd have been a very despairing child indeed (had to know everything about the games inside out)!

I mostly like the adventure ones and Paper Mario 2.

Ah, my favorite was the Super Mario RPG for SNES, but, my favorite platformer was the original.
It was just so cool.
Still is.

what? no mention of 'Super Princess Peach'? any game with a female lead that has the guts to use her girlish mood swings as a super power get's my vote.

also ..

Sonic = Mutant, superfast, time traveling, evil robot army stomping, loop-da-looping, blue hedgehog who saves several planets on more than one occasion, occasional takes time out to play lethal pinball with his own body.

Mario = unblocks toilets, occasional helps girlfriend by stamping on some turtles.

..I think you see where I'm going with this

Yes, I finally have an ally in my Mario bashing!

It should be noted that Mario unclogs toilets by climbing down the pipes and butt smashing whatever "monsters" are down there. He gets paid in whatever coins he finds in the pea trap.

Have any of you ever seen the shirt that has a picture of Mario side by side with Joseph Stalin and says, "Coincidence, I don't think so" on it. With this evidience in mind I, think he is wearing red for a reason.

"eet'sa mea, mario!"
loved Mario64. Mario 3 comes in a close second.
