Am I the only one who thinks that Yoshi's Island is mid compared to Donkey Kong Country and Wario Land/WarioWare?

Don't get me wrong, Yoshi's Island 1 is a classic, but to me it's only a b or a c tier game with the successors (Yoshi's Island Advance, Yoshi's Story, Yoshi Topsy Turvy, Yoshi's island DS, Yoshi's New Island Yoshi's Crafted World, Yoshi Wooly World) are just mid mission pack sequals. They're fun games but they put me to sleep.

Not helping is that the series dosent do much to differentiate itself from the mainline Mario games with no new level themes or enemies.

Plus that Yoshi games are impossibly hard if you try to 100% them, or piss easy if you want to run through them.

The yoshis island subseries is uninspired like to me its just as bad as the New Super Mario Bros games.

Donkey Kong Country is a fun and rythemic platformer which oozes personality with it's fun and creative setpeices and charecters. Wario Land is slower paced and methodical with tons of puzzles and fun interesting charecters and set peices.

And I personally think that Diddy Kong Racing and WarioWare are some of the best if not THE BEST kart racer and minigame compilation respectfully

My hot take: Nintendo constantly mischaracterized Mario in the early 2000s just so they could tell jokes at Luigi's expense. I've been playing the remake of TTYD recently and this phenomenon is ESPECIALLY noticeable in that game.

Like, I'm sorry Intelligent Systems, but Mario would not fall asleep listening to Luigi recount his own journey in the Waffle Kingdom. That motherfucker would be on the edge of his SEAT listening to his brother talk about the adventure he'd been on. He'd be so proud of him!

Likewise, Mario wouldn't just stand around and purposefully choose to do nothing if Luigi was being yelled at and antagonized by a toad. That's INCREDIBLY ooc for Mario to do, and the bit of poking fun at Luigi to an almost cruel degree was never funny in the first place tbh.

We as a society need to lean into Mario and Peach’s noblewoman-and-knight dynamic way more than we presently are.

The tenderness! The chivalry! The elegant nobility eased by comfortable familiarity! These two are the living embodiment of all those fancy paintings of 13th century knights and their lovers and I for one want more.

Taking into account each and every one of their individual canon abilities, who would realistically win the Olympic Games between Team Mario and Team Sonic? Unless, y'know, it simply ends up in a tie

Thanks for the poll anon! Please try to reach some mario fans with this one, for fairness.

Miraculous Ladybug characters and what character in Mario Kart 8 I think they choose as well as if they’re good at the game, based on the vibes I get from them!

Marinette: Used to play Peach but now is purely loyal to Toadette and Toadette ONLY! Canonically great at video games, so Mario Kart is naturally included.

Adrien: CAT PEACH. If anyone else chooses Cat Peach, he immediately gives them a DEVASTATED look and they swap immediately. Very good at the game, he has three stars on every cup!

Alya: Daisy. She will FIGHT anyone else trying to pick Daisy. Nobody is taking Daisy from her. She’s pretty decent at the game but is mostly just here to have fun and maybe kick some ass.

Nino: Strikes me as either a Yoshi guy or Shy Guy guy, though he’s chill if other people wanna pick them. Also decent but has a grudge against certain NPC opponents.

Chloé: Pink. Gold. Peach. Threatens to sue if anyone else takes her. She’s actually pretty good at the game and tends to be VERY agro. No mercy, she needs to WIN.

Kagami: Has swapped between a lot of different people but settled on Link. Incredibly intense in-game. She’s willing to battle to the death.

Félix: Isabelle from Animal Crossing. Do not let it fool you. He wants to WIN and he will red shell you at the worst time to do it.

Luka: Claims he’ll ‘Choose anybody’ but he’ll go for Rosalina if given the choice. He’s just trying to have fun and is 90% of the reason why controllers are not thrown at the TV. Juleka claims he’s “Going easy” on everyone so less feelings will be hurt. (She’s right, he loses on purpose a lot.)

Juleka: Dry Bones or Dry Bowser, she thinks they’re both cool. Doesn’t usually get top 5 if everyone is playing but consistently gets 6-7th! Hitting people with red and blue shells is kinda cathartic for her.

Rose: Sometimes picks one of the baby versions of the characters, but other times chooses one of Bowser’s kids, like Wendy or Roy. The former is for when she’s playing to have fun, the latter is for when she’s gunning for top 3.

Zoé: Pretended to be bad at the game until she realized she didn’t need to spare anyone’s feelings. Very good at the game, knows a lot of the techniques to give herself mini boosts. She LOVES Boswer Jr., especially after becoming Kitty Noire.

Sabrina: Genuinely one of the best players… When she’s not playing with Chloé. Otherwise she’s always letting her win, aiding her the best she can, and pretty much always gets whatever rank is directly behind hers. Claims her favorite character is Baby Peach (it’s actually King Boo).

Kim: DONKEY KONG. Also occasionally Wario. He’s actually kinda terrible at the game but he tends to spams items and makes that everyone else’s problem.

Max: Chooses one of the Inkling Kids (he strikes me as someone who also probably loves Splatoon). He’s good at the game but with how many other people are also good at the game, sometimes he gets overshined. He’s better at fighting games.

Alix: Waluigi 100%. She thinks he’s hilarious and while she doesn’t actually care, she WILL bring up ‘Waluigi should’ve been in Smash Ultimate’ At some point, because she thinks it’s funny. Not great at the game, is here purely to spam items and fuck over as many people as possible.

Myléne: Terrible at the game but plays to have fun! Likes to play Boswer because Ivan has cosplayed as him before.

Ivan: Also terrible at the game but likes losing alongside Myléne. Likes to play as Luigi, though occasionally chooses Dry Boswer if no one else has.

Nathaniel: Rarely plays but will choose Rosalina or Lemmy if he does. Likes to play against other casual people but usually dips if too many competitive people are playing at once.

Marc: Surprisingly really good though isn’t always good about asking if he can have a turn or not. Loves to pick the animal crossing villagers if they haven’t been chosen.

Lila: Claims she’s won a championship before. Is actually terrible at the game with the worst luck and very rarely plays. The first time she was gonna play with the class, she selected Cat Peach. Everyone stared at her as Adrien gave her the most devastated look. She panicked and faked an injury to stop playing altogether.

Guys, you gotta help me choose. Please. 😭🙇‍♀️

I want to share another Mareach piece for my next post, but I don't know which one to pick among the ones I've finished. Should I go with the fluffy and funny one first? The one that's more somber and bittersweet? The suggestive one?

I've been staring at my folder for a solid five minutes and still haven't reached a decision. 🤣

Mario rarely calls Peach by her name. At first it's out of formality — she may be his closest friend, but she's also royalty, and he's going to give her the respect she's due. If he's feeling particularly bold, he might call her Principessa, but for the most part, she's Princess to him for the first several years of their friendship.

There's a period right when they cross the threshold into romance where he does call her Peach. The way he says it reflects the state of their relationship at the time: hesitant, uncertain, but filled to the brim with cautious hope and still-unspoken affection. It's a dream come true.

And then just as quickly, Peach just feels too stuffy, too serious. She's delighted to learn one day that there's a pasta dish called pici, which sounds just like peachy, and so Peachy is what she quickly becomes to Mario. It's fun and playful yet not so cutesy that it can't be used during more sincere moments.

Eventually Mario finds the nerve to branch out into more openly romantic forms of address... in Italian, because even the thought of baring his affections so brazenly in English makes him feel lightheaded. So when Peach isn't Peachy, she's amore or tesoro or amata or dolcezza, and having to fall back on his native language to speak so bluntly works out for both of them, because each and every foreign endearment makes her giggly and weak in the knees.

And eventually, somehow, he's able to translate at least one of those endearments. The first time he calls her my love, she almost doesn't catch it; his accent gets especially thick when he's flustered, and he says it so quietly and then can't even look at her, so it takes her several moments to process. He's just about to apologize and promise he'll never say it again when it all clicks into place, and she shuts up whatever apology he was planning on with an overjoyed kiss, then another, then like twenty more. He can rarely say it above a whisper, but he makes it a point to say it more often anyway, just for her.

By some estimates, he only calls her Peach once for every thirty to forty times he calls her any of the above mentioned pet names, and usually he doesn't even mean to. Peach will pout and ask in her most pitiful voice if he's using her name because he's upset with her, at which point she's smothered in ticklish kisses and showered in the usual endearments once more.

I can't be mad about the Minecraft movie because in between hearing that there was one and watching the trailer I knew exactly what the trailer was going to look like. is anyone really surprised about this when we live in a cultural landscape where every movie trailer is like a 30 rock gag that got out of control
