I mean he just goes into full-on Frito Bandito mode, then stays that way for the rest of the scene, in sombrero and bandoliers. The jumping and shooting fit makes me wonder if they were going more for a Yosemite Sam tantrum, but, uh, didn't quite get it right.

Rocketlex posted:First, we have Super Mario Bros on Ice! Ahahaha, my aunt and uncle supposedly went to this having only heard the name "Mario Brothers on Ice," somehow believing the Mario Brothers to be an Italian figure skating duo. I'm not sure I believe the story, since it requires them never to have looked at any of the promotional material for the show they were buying tickets to, but they swore this happened.

I actually thought that poster was pretty funny... ...this, not so much.  Then I also found out that that poster was made using some random person's DeviantArt fan art. So I can safely say that there's not a single thing I like about "Boobs & Goombas", and I wish I didn't know it existed.

You hear the director at the very end calling for them to stop. Although if it were a well-meaning audience member just begging them to stop embarrassing themselves, that'd be pretty funny, too.

Wow, so a friend of mine was actually in that "Boobs and Goombas" burlesque show. I never got the chance to see it, now I really wish I'd given in to morbid curiosity and went. I'm pretty sure she was one of the Goombas in the video, but the costumes and low quality make it hard to tell. For the record, these kind of amateur burlesque shows are fairly common in NOLA.

A MIDI cover of the Super Mario 2 song with nonsense Animal Crossing words is adorable, but people trying to have fun with dancing and costumes is somehow the worst thing ever? Mario and Luigi were annoying but I thought the Goomba dance was kind of cute. We need more actual Mario to pull us out of crazytown!

"Wikipedia posted:Birdo's name was mistakenly switched with another Super Mario Bros. 2 enemy, Ostro, both in the manual and in the end credits.[2] The mistake persisted in the version of Super Mario Bros. 2 included in the Super Mario All-Stars compilation, but was corrected in the Game Boy Advance re-release titled Super Mario Advance.[3][4] Re: Ostro. Guess I never paid much attention to the credits. I like the idea though of a translator who's just never heard of an ostrich before in his life.

As I've said before, in Japan Wart is known as Mamu, which means that yes, that really is him in the cameo in Link's Awakening, alongside the Yoshi and Peach cameos, and the handful of Mario enemies in the side-scrolling tunnels. (and one could argue that Tarin looks a lot like mario there too). The games share several key production team members. As far as WWII stories go, my grandparents (three out of the four! ) were part of the war effort, but none actually saw combat. More interesting is the fact that my GF is only a first generation American of German descent. Her father's parents were Germans in WW2. Her grandfather was a German soldier (but NOT a Nazi, he fought for his country, not for a political group he strongly disagreed with) and apparently spent most of the war in a Russian POW camp, which was pretty harrowing itself. Also, she has a story where her grandmother and great aunt were cornered by two Russian soldiers, who were going to rape and kill them. They didn't count on her aunt knowing Russian, and catching on. She pulled one soldier's pistol out of his holster and held him at gunpoint until the soldiers agreed to leave. Kind of a badass move. And that's all my trivia for the night.

I think you guys made the end boss way harder than it needed to be. The Mouser fight showed you how to get those vegetables -- stand underneath them and catch them. Then since you are on the ground below you have an easier time of dodging those bubbles.

And you can throw them into his mouth before the bubbles fall far enough to block them. EDIT: And even the critical Pokemon catch has *one* shake, but it's usually a sure thing. Dabir fucked around with this message at 08:57 on Jun 5, 2013 |

My internet crashing ate up a perfectly good post on why I'm so fond of Super Mario 2. Let me try and sum up. 1) Nostalgia. It was the first game I ever beat, and therefore, the first one that showed me some games could be beaten, leading me away from the Sisyphean task of fighting ever increasingly harder identical levels until I died or competing for scoreboard territory with arcade kings. 2) It had character coming out the ears. Instead of Bowser clones, we had gender ambiguous egg-spitting dinosaurs, a mouse that throws the bombs of bad dreams, a three-headed snake, a living fireball in a domino mask, a rock-tossing crab, and a vegetable hating toad king, along with a horde of shyguys and their kin (I've always had a fondness for shyguys.) It kept things interesting. Of course, it helped that I got hooked on the Super Mario Supershow, and the Subcon gang was prominent in Koopa's forces in that show. 2.5) Speaking of character, I loved how it developed the capabilities of Mario's friends as adventurers. Luigi's "waffling" (that's the term, isn't it?) was hilarious, I loved Peach's floatiness, and it was cool to see a Toad who was an individual. Also, frankly, a Mario game without the Princess getting kidnapped and being helpless is good in my book. 3) No damned timer. I was free to wander the stages at my leisure, poking my nose in wherever I pleased without artificial time restraints. I seriously dislike timers. Wow... that was a lot more than a sum-up. Oh well. Even among Mario games, I love it. ==== Also, one last trick, if you jump behind Wart, he can't turn around, so you can toss veggies in without the bubbles getting in the way.
