Here we are is the Super Mario Rebirth Show Bowser's army. They're the in the forefront of fighting the Mario Bros when they follow Bowser's plans. We get started on the first list of Bowser's Koopa Empire along with their history.

Koopa- The Koopas are one of the many long running species ever scene the day of the Mushroom World Time. Their first evolution was non other then a "Shellcreepers" to a walking turtle people. Some of them may have not been bad as they were out into their own village while the other Koopa's were at War with The Mushroom Kingdom. They started out in The Koopa Clan under in charge of a younger Bowser. After so many failed misions aganst the Yoshi's, Bowser decied to trun this Clan Around as an Empire, So he makes his own Koopa Kingdom in the Volcano Land aka Darklands. Years later the war continues which was Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach for the first time at the start of "Super Mario Bros 1985 events happen" Thoe the Koopa Troops were jumped onto their heads and used their shells as weapons numerous times. They aint going down without a fight as they were trained for years.

ParaKoopa- The ParaKoopas are the same Koopas but born with Wings. They traditionally come in two varieties: Red Koopa Paratroopas usually fly every where they go as the same goes to Green Koopa Paratroopas ijto The Mario Sibling's general direction. Most of the Para Koopas were under guidance by General Blue Shelled Koopa, who was In Charge of the Koopa Military.

Goomba- The Goombas were the opposite of The Toads. Some of The Goombas who were not on Bowsers side but they are not to bright. While serving the empire, The Goombas were just stomped on like a pancake. Some turned out fine but while other could have died or suffer brain damage. Despite having no arms, Goombas of all types were useful.

Shy Guy- Shy Guys are timid troublemakers and are recognizable by their masks, which they wear due to their shyness. They can be easily disposed by being picked up and thrown against another enemy or into a nearby abyss.

Laktiu- Lakitus are mysterious Koopas who can control clouds. They like to stay airborne because they're weaker than Koopa Troopas. When Bowser and Kamek hires the mystrious Koopa who controls clouds and creat Spiny's. They could also be a quite annoyance to the Mario Siblings but sometimes can be very good use to Go Karts Instructors if some are not helping the Koopa Empire.

Spiny- Spinys are much tougher then Lakitus even though they're merely their pets. Also, they can't be stomped on for obvious reasons due to their spikes on their shells and be used for weapons. They would also be known to be as their guard dogs.

Buzzy Bettle- Buzzy Bettles are the strongest soldiers. Their shells are way more tougher than those of a Koopa Troopa. Also, they're can't be hurt be fire. Unless you jump on them.

Piranha Plants- These Pirahna Plants are carnivores & they inhabit pipes. They tend to pop out of pipes without warning. Any attempt to stomp on them could render as the Pirahna Plant waits for its next meal. These Plants are the attchment to any to Bowsers Empire scene it’s days on Yoshi Island and always will be to this day to bite on its victims.

Boos- Boos are some of the most troublesome. No one reailly knows where they come from but rumors say but they were once in the Darklands in the abandon area of it and some were haunted in mansions. They like to sneak behind the Mario Siblings., trying to kill them but as soon as they turn around, the Boos cover their eyes, turn invisible & doesn't move until turn they turn back around. The one who was in charge of all Boos was "King Boo"

[racerhelexicon]

I meeeean...they played "nada personal" by Soda Stereo in the end...and Gustavo Cerati (the lead singer) is the king and creator of s3x...so yes

I think Jaime Reyes just ended the "everyone is beautiful but no one is horny" curse because he 110% got laid at the end of that movie

DAMIÁN ALCÁZAR  SE SUMERGE EN EL UNIVERSO DC COMICS  CON LA PELÍCULA  “BLUE BEETLE”,  PRIMER FILME CON UN SUPERHÉROE MEXICANO

El actor de origen michoacano es parte de los contados actores mexicanos dentro del cast de esta producción internacional.

Historia que forma parte del universo extendido de DC Cómics que resalta al tratarse del primer superhéroe de origen latino de la editorial.

El estreno de la película a nivel mundial está programado para el próximo 18 de agosto.

Explosiones, tecnología alienígena y un inesperado superhéroe son elementos clave en Blue Beetle, la nueva película de Warner Bros. Pictures en la que destaca la participación del multipremiado actor Damián Alcazár, como uno de los pocos mexicanos dentro del cast. Talento nacional que rompe fronteras y se úne a uno de los mundos ficcionales más reconocidos a nivel mundial; de dramas políticos a la lucha por la salvación del planeta, la versatilidad de este histrión michoacano alcanza una nueva faceta en su carrera. Una vez más Alcázar llega a Hollywood, ahora de la mano de Blue Beetle, producción estadounidense parte del universo extendido de DC Cómics que resalta al tratarse del primer superhéroe de origen latino entre sus afamados personajes. En esta historia, un joven de origen mexicano se encuentra con un misterioso escarabajo que le proporciona una armadura superpoderosa convirtiéndolo en un superhéroe. Una película que promete multiculturalidad y momentos divertidos, en la que Damián Alcázar interpretará a Alberto Reyes, familiar directo de Jaime Reyes cuyo alter ego es El Escarabajo Azul, el héroe novato. Película que se aleja de aquel cliché del guerrero solitario, de identidad secreta y relaciones personales complicadas; pues aquí el protagonista, como buen latino, cuenta con el apoyo de una extensa y compleja familia, que es vital a lo largo de la historia. Alcázar, ocho veces ganador del premio Ariel, lleva toda su mexicanidad a esta súper producción en la que habrá diálogos en español, espanglish y por supuesto en inglés, un proyecto que coloca la magia de los súper poderes en la frontera, siendo Texas el escenario en donde se lleva a cabo la acción. Un acercamiento al sensacional mundo de las habilidades extraordinarias, como la superfuerza, que como pocas veces se sienten cercanas al público mexicano y al latino. A propósito de su participación en este proyecto producido por DC Studios, Alcázar declara que "[Blue Beetle] es una fusión única de ciencia ficción y valores tradicionales latinos, en la que [Ángel Manuel Soto] el director caribeño explora los mundos de DC y la familia mexicana de una forma apasionante y sorprendente. Se trata de una épica superproducción que habla del amor y cultura latinoamericana, lo que marca una diferencia enorme dentro de las películas de este corte. " Blue Beetle anuncia su estreno en cines el próximo 18 de agosto 2023, una historia fuera de serie bajo la dirección de Ángel Manuel Soto que cuenta con las actuaciones estadounidenses de Xolo Maridueña y Susan Sarandon y de destacables mexicanos como Damián Alcázar o Adriana Barraza, un elenco y una trama en las que lo latino resalta con fuerza.

Blue Beetle #11 - "¡Para Siempre!" (2024)

written by Josh Trujillo art by Adrian Gutierrez & Will Quintana

[weirdmarioenemies]

Name: Ripper

Debut: Metroid

Imagine if there was a guy who loved beetles a lot, thought they were the pinnacle of anatomy, loved almost everything about them, especially the fact that they fly! But this guy hates the WAY they fly. They wish they didn't have to open their beautiful elytra to fly, ruining the impeccable smoothness of the carapace. This guy would be pretty weird. I would disagree. But I have to say they would love Ripper! That is a really long-winded way of saying "Ripper is like a beetle that hovers without using any wings"!

Ripper is like a beetle that hovers without using any wings. That's a cool sort of alien thing to do! But then you see its legs and that's just goofy. It really is just a bug that inexplicably hovers and is nearly invincible. And it's iconic! I admittedly have not played that much Metroid, but I have played the first game (bad) and its remake (awesome), and I could not imagine it without Ripper! It floats lazily and horizontally back and forth, usually in vertical areas, and feels as integral to a Metroid bestiary as a critter that walks around ever surface of a platform.

If you want more proof that Ripper is already perfect, look at Metroid Fusion. In this game, the X Parasite infects many species, mimicking them and giving the copies altered abilities, but the Ripper copies stay the same as the original! Nothing to improve upon here!

Ripper was so great that they made a sequel! This is Ripper II! They were very (rightfully) confident in Ripper being a hit, so confident, in fact, that they made Ripper II in the very same game, before the general public could even give feedback on the original. I'm sure that after the game came out, though, people were sending in fan mail about our favorite horizontal hoverer! Ripper II is faster. Not a Ripper for everyone! Don't adopt it without making sure you can handle it first!

Is this a Ripper? Not quite! This one is a Tripper! It is not called that because it is mean and tries to trip you. It is actually passive, and you can stand on it, and go for a Trip as it flies! What a nice creature.

Last, but certainly not least, is the Winged Ripper! They gave wings to a flying creature! So droll! Very similar principle to the Para-Biddybud, putting wings on top of what may very well be elytra, but in this case it was ALREADY able to fly! Para-Ripper over here is a lot like if you add wings to an entity in Super Mario Maker, because the wings make it fly around a distinct path and even allow it to explore the y-axis. It only appears in one room, where it must be frozen to act as a step for Samus to stand on, so she can reach a giant larva that is ensnared by vines. Awesome! Winged Ripper is truly a one scene wonder, enhanced even further by its similarity to Para-Beetle, everyone's darling!

I don't know why these things are called Rippers. Maybe they would use their chewing beetle mouthparts to really rip into a good leaf if offered one, and have a rip-roaring good time!

Development files for Super Mario World contain an animation of a baby Yoshi eating a blue, possibly ice-themed, Para-Beetle enemy, which does not appear in the finished game.

Oban Star Racers review

Yesterday I decided to watch Oban Star Racers, since it was a series I slept on when I was a kid and I heard a lot of good for it. So I binged the 26 episodes yesterday and today.

Overall verdict: FUCKING DOPE. 9/10

Very good series overall. It has a pretty unique art style (most notable on the humanoid characters) but it makes it work and uses it well to have pretty dynamic and expressive characters and gorgeous environments. And it's a very neatly written story, that finds the right balance between a sport fiction (racing), the overarching space opera/space fantasy narrative, and the interpersonal drama.

And the OP is pretty good and sells the color.

The plot :

(two ships preparing for the preliminary of the Oban Star Race)

In the future, humanity is set to participate in a racing competition between civilizations of the galaxy, where the winner will receive the "ultimate prize" from a sort of "god" of the galaxy. Eva, a young girl who wishes to be recognized by her father (both literally and figuratively), gets involved in this race when said father becomes the manager of the earth team... And it soon turns out the competition has way higher stakes than everyone believed.

The plot reminded me bit of Red Lines, albeit with far looser vehicle rules than it (one competitor rides a giant beetle... ONE COMPETITOR JUST FLY HIMSELF), although I don't think a more in-depth comparison is worthwhile. Ultimately they provide different experiences despite the similarities.

A more in-depth rating would be :

Story:

very well written with good dialogue. None of the 3 main storylines (racing, drama, mystery) feel underdeveloped compared to the other, and they all manage to fit right into place as the plot progresses. The only downside is some plot points could have been introduced earlier and in more detail, but this only concerns a few.

9/10

Characters:

The characters are colorful and interesting. The secondary cast have a lot of personality, with unique ship design that sometime really push the definition of "racing ship".

(one of the secondary cat... I mean cast, Para-dice)

And the recurring cast isn't left behind. They are complex and nuanced, flawed people who sometimes make bad decisions, but always act in an understandable way. Sometimes their reasoning is more implied than explained, but it's not easy to miss it.

(The short guy with black and white hair is Don Wei, the protagonist's father. The tall dude with his tits out and sunglasses is Rick Thunderbolt, a pilot for the earth team)

The only issues are that one character is developed and leaves the story way too quickly and that some are a bit too simple/one not. But it's a minority and it's probably to balance give more time to the interpersonal drama.

8/10

Art :

The art style surprises a bit, but you get used to it quickly. It makes for expressive characters, and it's stylization make the humans not feel boring compared to the many aliens.

(you may have noticed they don't have noses)

There's also some clever use of 3D here and there, but it's well integrated so it doesn't feel too jarring. And the environment are fun to look at.

(This isn't what you expect to see when you're told you're going for an interplanetary racing competition. But I really like this planet, Alwas)

8/10

Music:

The music is good guys. I put the OP above, but the ost is also great, both for actions and non-action scenes. I really like the preliminary planet's theme... it really sells the confusion of humans reaching a new world they've never seen before with a pre-fire spacefaring civilization (that uses caterpillar-powered engines).

And Prince Aikka's theme is also cool.

Anyway, for the music, I was gonna give it a 8/10, but now that I listened to them again for this review, I realize they do carry a lot of making this experience pleasant. So

9/10

Worldbuilding:

That's a very important factor if you make Sci-fan, so I thought it was good to make it a category. Oban's setting succeed in the two key point I look for in a fictional universe: It makes its own sauce, and it looks alive.

Not everything in the setting is unique, but it offers some fresh concepts or visual identity make the inspiration turn. Like, I really enjoyed Ceres' ship being an amalgam of tubes that shouldn't fly, and that he rode standing on it rather than in a cockpit.

or spirit weird anatomy that looks like an unraveled humanoid

Or hell, Oban (the planet) itself functions in a way I haven't seen yet in sci-fi. that's what I mean by "make its own sauce". I can look at some elements of it and say "Wow, you don't see that every day" and get a rush of inspiration from the new flavor.

As for the "looks alive" part, by that I meant that the series gives the impression if I put the camera away from the main plot, there still would be interesting things to see. We know a lot is going on offscreen. We only see one of the 3 preliminaries... that's a lot of teams we haven't met... And even with the one we met, there's political intrigue in their homeworld, tragedies they wish to repair, etc... It's a universe where you feel you could always find something new to look at.

10/10

So, once again

OVERALL RATING: 9/10

Pêssego conseguiria mudar de forma e ficar do tamanho da magenta? Ou sua gem está tão grande que ela nem conseguiria... Isso me faz pensar na cherry, como que ela mudou de forma no baile secreto, para ficar do tamanho da magenta sendo que a gem dela é enorme!

Ela poderia conseguir, mas sua Gem cobriria quase seu rosto todo. No caso da Cherry, ela contatou uma Vesuvianite (o tipo de Gem das Beetles), que tem a habilidade do raio encolhedor, o que fez a Gem (ou o corpo) da Cherry ficar menor
