King Vidiot posted:Okay cool, so are you fine with calling Bowser "Koopa" from now on too? Because that's his name, not even King Koopa. It's just Koopa. Or, spelled phonetically from the original Japanese, "Kuppa". how come they gave all the koopalings musical names then??

Groovelord Neato posted:how come they gave all the koopalings musical names then?? the Koopalings didn't have names until the localization of SMW3. The Japanese version just decided to use them themselves with Super Mario World. They're also not Bowser's kids anymore, so their theme naming is all their own and doesn't reflect back on Bowser at all.

Losing the battle for custody was a far more bitter defeat for Bowser than anything Mario had ever done.

eh. Bowser having only one inexplicable child and a team of quirky minions is easier to convey in the end. Mario barely has any story but this way you can have either Jr. and the Koopalings show up together, or they can appear alone, or Jr. can appear alone, without it seeming like either is missing. It's easier for a minimalist story to portray Bowser as a father to one character instead of eight, also, which is good for such a simple series like Mario.

I was expecting the Space Battleship Yamato, not the actual Battleship Yamato Jim Silly-Balls posted:Ludwig but only because of his luscious locks in Mario kart 8 Ludwig is in fact the best Koopa Kid. Detective No. 27 posted:I love the Koopa name because in Polish the word means "poop." You'll also know that it's a very fitting name if you've ever had a pet turtle before.

I'm pretty sure they haven't said anything. The more I see videos of this game the more I feel like September is about right. And that this game looks great, look at how smooth the action is there.

Augus posted:The best part of 3 Complete is it lets you replace the dorky Sonic sprite from 3 with the better ones from 1 and 2 I really love the sprites from Sonic 1 and Sonic CD. The sprites in Sonic 2 look a little "taller" (longer legs) and I don't like that. Also that little "shine" which makes Sonic's skin look like rubber... :-\ Sonic 3's sprites are by far the worst of the classic tetralogy for me: weird eyes, rubber skin, huge hands... I remember when I was a kid and even then I felt there was something weird and wrong about it and I think that's the main reason why I never played 3&K as much as I played 1 and 2. Anyway, Mania's sprites are wonderful. I kinda don't like Sonic's lighter blue color but whatever. This game looks really amazing. Instabuy.

If I recall, the Sonic 2 darker shade and shine and the Sonic 3 redesign were both there to deal with the fact that they had less colours available in the palette to allocate to Sonic each time, because they had to provide permanent colours for Tails and Knuckles. Obviously this isn't an issue for Mania.

The weirdest thing about that is they *still* have Knuckles swap Sonic's palette out - and playable Knuckles has a different colour scheme to rear end in a top hat villain Knuckles.

Given that they talk now, their personalities shine through pretty well as well. Larry is kind of hard to pin down but is stated to be the little brother of the group and contains a wide range of traits in aggression, selfishness, and laziness. And a bit of being a straight man. Morton is a Dumb Brute. Lemmy is a silly one, who enjoys shows and tricks. Iggy is the crazy one. Wendy is vain, short tempered and bossy. Roy is loud and arrogant while being somewhat brutish. Ludwig is the intelligent and cultured one. While also tending to think much more highly of himself then others do. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 05:53 on May 13, 2017 |

The Koopalings should be Bowser's kids on account that they're cool like him and not an annoying poo poo like Bowser Jr. Thread specific edit: https://twitter.com/bootleg_stuff/status/863274268511137792 SeANMcBAY fucked around with this message at 08:20 on May 13, 2017 |

I like that the koopalings were retconned into being generals while they're still obvious kids. Like I can imagine Miyamoto kicking down the door, screaming "YOU'RE ADOPTED" then leaving.

Miyamoto played Sonic Lost World and he thought "Hm yes I must make the koopa kids just like these fantastic Deadly Six."
