I really, really enjoyed Galaxy. My expectations were low after the first movie and I avoided reading any critics and reviews, and I was so happily surprised. I even rewatched the first movie last night before seeing Galaxy today.

Galaxy improved on every single aspect of the first movie. It’s still fast paced, but imo it just works in Galaxy, I never felt like it was too rushed. The movie is a straight up celebration for true, OG Mario fans. Fans who have played every 2D and 3D game. People need to stop comparing it to the stories and plots of the game. Just because it’s called Galaxy doesn’t mean it needs to follow Super Mario Galaxy game 1 to 1. Galaxy in the title just means their cinematic world is larger. It’s its own canon, and the way they blended so many elements from the 40 years of Mario games so seamlessly is so refreshing to me.

I freaking loved it. The action sequences were better, the animations were better, the way they tied in references was better, the music was better. My God, the music. It’s the best part of the movie. The commercial music tie-ins, the thing I hated most about the first movie, are much more infrequent and way more tasteful. So, so many, hyper mini musical queues it’s even hard to keep up with. I couldn’t stop smiling from all the musical queues.

Some of the story beats felt like they were made for people that have been playing Mario since the NES, I damn near teared up with how beautiful of a celebration of being a Mario fan it was to me.

If you’re on the fence about seeing Galaxy, or didn’t like the first one like me, do yourself a favor and go see it. If you’re a true Mario fan, I promise you will enjoy it.

On this day (April 3) in Nintendo history...

• Nintendoji  was released in 2013 for DSiWare in Japan. In this dungeon-crawling role-playing game, developed by Grounding Inc., a young man named Kageshina Kurabe tries to save a country on the brink of destruction.

What are you favourite memories of these games? How do you think they hold up today? Hash it out in the comments.

My fiancée and I currently live at a distance, and I wanted to see what suggestions the group might have for online multiplayer games. *Disclaimer, she only currently has the Switch 1, and I have the Switch 2, so compatible games would be appreciated. We already have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Party Superstars/Jamboree, and Overcooked. Thank you all in advance.

The movie reminded me of the game so I made a video about it. It really was just an excuse to play the game again, so I thought let make a video about it too. Enjoy!

So as you all know there’s a Super Nintendo World at the Universal Park in Orlando. There’s a Mario Kart ride and I haven’t been on it, but I’ve seen POVs. It’s a slow moving dark ride with AR technology, and it’s just weird to me they chose that type of system for a Mario Kart ride which Mario Kart is known for speed and chaos. I’m not saying make a 70 mph roller coaster, but something like Test Track or the Cars racers ride at Disneyland seemed perfect. Is this because of Miamoyto’s very strict rules of how he wants the Mario franchise represented or is it something else because it just seems crazy for a Mario Kart ride to go 5 mph. What do u guys think?

Does anyone else feel that the new Mario movie had such a great plot and rising action but the resolution made me feel like the movie ran out of budget.

I’m not a big Wario/Wario Ware fan in general, in fact, my only experience prior to downloading the Get It Together demo was exclusively through the built-in minigames that take place when playing on the Wario Ware stage in smash bros.

However, I like to purchase games that I think I’d like especially when they’re from smaller or underrepresented Nintendo franchises because I want to see less popular Nintendo IP’s get new entries, new fans, and succeed. I’m thinking games like Yoshi, Metroid, Kirby, Donkey Kong, and in this case, Wario.

I can’t justify paying $50 for something that’s essentially just a bunch of mini games set in an extremely repetitive gameplay loop. Even worse, there’s little to no variety in the gameplay itself – outside of the mini games themselves – as there are hardly any controller inputs usable in game. Even worse, (because I do enjoy the mini games,) I looked up if the game is beatable and the main story mode only takes about 2.5 hours to beat.

As a result, I ABSOLUTELY cannot buy this game or understand how this game costs $50 in any universe.

Mario Party Jamboree is only $10 more, (admittedly has less mini games, but) each mini game is a longer, fuller/more in-depth experience with varying play and control styles. They’re also fully 3D animated/rendered, and outside of the mini games themselves there’s the literal “board-based” gameplay and character interactions, as well as other game modes.

It honestly makes me mad more than anything because Wario Ware is a super underrepresented franchise and could definitely be a more frequently released title (especially because the gameplay and art style are both pretty simple and easy to produce.) It could also have WAY more fans, but it doesn’t because the game costs way too much money for what it is, so people don’t buy it, then Nintendo thinks the game is unpopular because the sale numbers are terrible, so they won’t make another one for years.

It would 100% be more popular if the game was accurately priced around $15-$20 because more people would buy it.

Was chasing Rosalina and Peach in that flashback?

As a super Mario legend of the seven stars fan I can't help but want it to be Smithy.

Pretty much all the non-Bowser options would be other villains from the RPG series (Cackeletta, the Schroobs, Fawful, Antasma, Reculsa, The Shadow Queen, Dimentio etc)
