[][]e Aftermath (Part 1)

I'm finally glad to be rid of that whole prankster comet thing.

I mean it's not entirely gone but the occ[]sional censor of dialogue isn't that bad.

Anyways.

I'm waiting at coconut mall for the midnight release of Aftermath []. Its second favorite video game franchise

I'm getting it from my Etch Bocks 1.

I'm currently 4th in line behind some cosplayers.

It's a shy guy in a safe dweller styles robe.

A Kremlin woman in an outfit similar to a Blood Oath of iron Armor.

And a Shiverian scalie in a DeathTalon suit.

I'm kind of just stuck in line. It's a midnight release thing.

Not much is probably going to happen.

Garth signing out.

⚡️

For the longest time, I’ve always headcanoned Peach being afraid of thunderstorms, since that’s usually the kind of weather Bowser likes to strike in.

⚡ - Scared of thunderstorms

You, my friend, are a genius.

Hiding

~~~

As soon as the Shiverian ambassador took his leave and the doors shut behind him, Peach slumped back in her seat. Typically she waited at least another ten seconds, just to make sure she was truly alone, but her mind was reeling so violently she could feel it in her bones. All she wanted was a moment’s rest.

Discussing trade routes and the renewal of international contracts while also pretending nothing was wrong in the face of constant threat proved difficult.

“Are you alright?” the most tender, most compassionate voice she’d ever had the honor of knowing inquired, and instantly she felt just a bit lighter. 

Mario had already relaxed his attentive and dignified posture in favor of stretching his arms over his head. This was normally where he’d crack wise about his aching muscles, how agonizing it was to stand in one spot for so long, his eagerness to spend the rest of the day on the move, but he offered nothing of the sort today. His eyes had caught hers during the meeting more than once. He knew she was in distress.

And why was the great Mushroom Princess in such distress? What threat loomed over her and caused her endless torment?

A thunderstorm. She was scared of a sodding thunderstorm.

With each crash of thunder, she had been forced to gather handfuls of her skirts under the table and hang onto the emissary’s every word to keep her own mind centered, or count each of his whiskers, or follow every last stitch and weave of his parka when the old creature began to ramble aimlessly. Losing face wasn’t an option. Revealing that one of her greatest fears was a fear shared by many a small child was equally unacceptable. Even so, keeping it reigned in for so long was exhausting. 

Each time their eyes met, Mario had nodded to her, a silent promise that nothing and no one would hurt her. Now that they were alone, she could feel the pent-up tension leaving her body. She had been safe all along. She could be no safer than she was now.

She smiled and prepared to assure him that she was alright, if tired and a bit frustrated — but an ear-splitting crack of thunder froze her before she could utter a single sound.

The bright and familiar delegation room went dark around her, and suddenly she was alone in her bed, shivering but not knowing why. Unpleasant sensations overwhelmed her huddled form. A sense of dread so heavy it nauseated her. Quick, shallow breaths, too frightened to fill her lungs properly.

Her bed covers ripped back and ice-cold claws wrapping around her.

“Peach?”

WIth a gasp, she was back in the delegation room. The silk of her dress stuck uncomfortably to her skin with sweat, yet a shiver still ran down her spine.

Eyes of the gentlest blue fixated on her.

She wanted to cry. She wanted to throw herself forward and bury her face into his chest, grip the straps of his overalls, weep and beg him to take away her memories of that night. Instead, she forced herself to breathe. Inhale, hold. Exhale, hold.

Mario held her gaze as she calmed herself, whispering reassurances all the while — “It’s okay, you’re safe, I’m right here,” anything and everything she needed to hear in that moment. He had taken her hands at some point and held them securely within his own. She was shaking, she realized, yet he was so steady, so stable against her.

Thunder rumbled once more outside of the window, distantly this time. He rubbed his thumbs in circles over the backs of her hands.

“I feel so childish,” Peach whispered, her throat tight.

“You’re not.” Mario squeezed her hands briefly before dropping one to brush a loose strand of hair from her face, and she sighed against his touch. He was far too understanding. Far too patient.

After another moment, he asked, "How are you feeling?"

Peach couldn’t help a rueful smile, closing her eyes and leaning her head into his palm. “Like I want to curl up and hide.”

Thunder. She flinched and willed herself to focus on his touch, the warmth of his skin which permeated his gloves. She willed herself not to go back to that night. It was over. She was safe now. She was home safe, and Bowser was down for the count, and the one who always came through for her was right here.

Something in Mario’s expression shifted when she opened her eyes. He studied her face for a moment, and she in turn studied his, watching as a sort of enlightenment bloomed across his features.

He squeezed her hand once more and gave a single nod of his head. “Then let’s hide.”

And before she could ask any questions, he pulled her from her seat and led her out of the room and into the grand halls of the palace.

No one gave them a second glance as he led her towards the southern wing wherein lay her quarters. Mario had been a castle mainstay for years now, serving as her personal daytime guard for most of that time. There was nothing unusual about him escorting her to her room, especially in light of recent events, namely the two months she was kept as Bowser’s prisoner after being taken by force in the dead of night.

Mario had risked and almost lost his life ensuring it never happened again. Even so, he and the entire royal council agreed that there was no keeping the princess too safe. So in the interest of her security, he was assigned to watch over her at all times; he spent his days accompanying her as per usual and spent his nights on a cot in her drawing room, always on high alert, her ever-faithful, ever-selfless guard.

At least, that was the official story. In truth, nothing kept him there past sunset beyond his own free will and her tentative request, and the idea of sleeping on opposite sides of her bedroom door fell through within the first hour of the first night. Now she dozed each evening and woke each morning tucked safely into his arms. But no one aside from them and their closest friends needed to know that yet.

They made it to her room quickly and without incident, and Peach was almost ashamed of the relief she felt. Already she was eager to hide beneath the blankets with him. She would happily flop right onto the mattress, heels, makeup, crown and all.

Once inside, Mario took hold of the uppermost duvet… and yanked it completely off of the bed. Not what she had been expecting, but he’d never led her astray before, he wouldn’t start now. Right?

She observed in stupefied silence as he brought the blanket over to her desk, a sturdy and ornate piece with a roll top and an empty cubicle framed by drawers, large enough for her to freely move her legs during long hours of study (or swing them like a giggling teenager when writing to her beloved hero). Mario pulled her chair out from its nesting place within that cubicle and began arranging the blanket in its place, singling out the heaviest objects on the desktop to keep it held in place.

It hung in front of the entrance like a curtain, and she felt her face go warm in embarrassment when she realized what he was doing.

“...You’re making a blanket fort.”

“Nope!” He remained focused on his work, his bushy mustache unable to hide his cheerful smile. “This will be much cozier than a blanket fort. Nice, dark, quiet—” he stepped back to admire his work, then turned and presented it to her with a flourish. “Perfect hiding spot!”

She was so baffled that she didn’t even notice another round of thunder.

“This isn’t really helping the, you know, ‘feeling childish’ thing,” she confessed. Bless her Mario, her sweet, brave, noble Mario, she knew his intentions were nothing but pure, and yet…

He hummed in understanding, yet he remained every bit as bright. “No, no, Princess,” he said, approaching her and reaching for her hands, “I promise, there’s nothing childish about it! Luigi does it sometimes you know. Whenever he’s anxious or all his senses are overloaded? He’ll back a table against the wall, throw a blanket over it, crawl inside, e ecco qua! He emerges a new man.”

Stubbornly, Peach tried not to laugh. He couldn’t be serious. Yet the combination of Mario’s impassioned description and the mental images it invoked wrenched a smile from her all the same.

He was being serious. And for some reason, she was buying into it. Stars above she loved this man.

“...Alright. I’ll give it a shot.”

Mario cheered and gave her knuckles a quick kiss before rushing back to the improvised hideaway, lifting one corner of the blanket and ushering her inside. “Your Highness.”

Everything within Peach protested as she sank to her knees in front of her desk and crawled inside. She ignored it and busied herself pulling layer after layer of silk into the enclosure; once she had succeeded in stuffing herself and her dress inside, Mario dropped the blanket back into place, and everything went dark.

Peach blinked, settling into her chosen corner and assessing her emotions as they played out. She felt ridiculous. She felt like a child. Worse yet — she felt secure. He was right. There was something oddly comfortable about this setup. For a moment, she entertained the thought of some villain entering her room, only to leave in a huff upon seeing her bed empty, as though this little alcove were a secret and private extension of the castle rather than a desk with a blanket draped over it.

Thunder, uncomfortably close this time.

“So what do you think, Princess?” Mario asked almost as soon as she registered the thunder. Her pulse quickened, and briefly her mind took her back to that fateful night, but she swallowed heavily and replied before it could take hold of her.

“It’s not bad,” she said. “But it’s a bit roomy for my taste.”

“Oh?”

“You could easily fit two more of me in here, or maybe three Toads.”

“Or… maybe one portly plumber?”

“I was thinking a dashing, handsome knight, actually.” Peach’s trepidation faded to the back of her mind at his bashful chuckle. For someone so outgoing, he flustered so easily.

She heard a soft thud, and then light poured back into the enclosure as Mario lifted the blanket to crawl in with her. A lovely blush still colored his cheeks. “I can’t promise I won’t trample your dress.”

“I have at least ten more in this exact pattern.”

He puffed out his chest in a dramatized show of confidence. “Then here we go!”

They spent at least three or four minutes twisting about, accidentally elbowing one another in the face or in the stomach, giggling together as they tried and mostly failed to accommodate the mass of her skirts and his, well, everything. But eventually they found a comfortable position: Mario pressed his back into one corner with his knees bent, and Peach half-sat half-laid in his lap facing the opposite direction, her cheek on his shoulder and her skirts swallowing the remaining space.

“There we go!” Mario shifted beneath her, and once he settled, he rested his arms around her waist. “Nice and safe, see? No one will find us here. Nothing will hurt us.”

Peach hummed and relaxed against him, draping her arms loosely around his torso. That was something he’d started doing lately, she noticed. It was never “me” and “you” anymore, it was “we”, “us”. Was it intentional? Did he even know he was doing it?

Whatever the case, she hoped he’d continue. She liked thinking of themselves as a set, two inseparable pieces of one cohesive whole.

A clap of thunder even closer than the last pierced the air around them. She gasped on instinct, her body going cold, but immediately Mario’s arms tightened around her, and he drowned out the noise with a stream of reassurances. He sounded so resolute, so certain of what he was saying. And in the darkness surrounding them, they may as well have been the only two people in the world.

Peach snuggled into his warmth and let her fears be carried away on the wings of his promises. He had never led her astray before. He wouldn’t start now.

In the Wooded Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey, a rock can become glitched by picking it up with correct timing from a falling platform. Whenever that rock is thrown the next time after this, it will remain suspended in mid-air.

Since NPCs enter a brief hurt animation when a rock is thrown at them, throwing the glitched rock next to an NPC will lock it into the hurt animation indefinitely, as seen with this unfortunate Shiverian in the footage.

Today's Seals Are: The Shiverians

[smallmariofindings]

In Super Mario Odyssey, during the Bound Bowl Grand Prix, some of the rival Shiverian Racers can become stuck near certain slopes, hopping in place without moving. At that point, Mario can bounce into them to push them completely off the course. Interestingly, they will not respawn, and analyzing the game's internal state reveals that they will keep falling into the void indefinitely as long as the minigame continues.

Note that the screen fades out in the footage due to Mario reaching the edge of the track; although Mario's own position is reset, the rival Shiverian Racer will keep falling into the abyss as described above.

Super Mario Odyssey is an absolutely wonderful game one of my favourite things about the game is just how diverse the NPC's can get however this post is about my favourite: the Bonneters! yea I know its basic liking the most common ones but they're little hat people how could you not love that? it also gives me an excuse to sprite Tiara who I wouldn't otherwise get to do

My second favourite is Shiverians btw I want a teddy bear of one

It’s possible the Snowmads, who are said to hail from the North Sea, are originally from the Snow Kingdom.

Shiverians and the Snowmads both have snowflake emblems, Scandinavian-inspired architecture and are themselves based on large pinnipeds, such as seals and walruses.

What other enemies (or enemy costumes) would you add to World if you could? Personally I was pretty happy to see para-biddybud, coin coffer, and pokey, but it seems like a small selection considering the sheer number of Mario enemies there are

Okay I'm gonna be a Little Mean and lack whimsy for a moment here but I think this Everyone Is Here Mario Kart roster is Dumb and I Don't Like It.

Don't get me wrong I loooove Mario enemies they're well designed and interesting, but if you asked me if a Pokey could drive a car I'd say No??? Of course not???? That's a fucking Animal????

And also it Looks Dumb

Like.

That man is Not driving. He's not even on the Kart. It looks Stupid.

Like. Sorry to be a hater but everything gone downhill sense they put a Piranha Plant in Smash Bros. That is not a sentient creature that is a Plant. It was a Item just last game who put in a kart.

I think the only one who gave me any sort of whimsy to see driving was Cataquack and maybe Peepa cause they're just so niche? I was also happy about Pianta and obviously Nabbit who I've sung praises about, but they're not No-Name enemies.

Truthfully, instead of this Everyone Is Here Enemies with no personality filler roaster, I would have much rather if they'd put more Shine to Named NPCs who've never gotten to race instead.

Like? Toadsworth and E. Gadd would fit right into a Mario Kart roster to me. If you wanna reference Galaxy so much like Nintendo's been doing a LOT recently, Luba or Prince Luma are Right There and Very marketable.

More niche picks would be like. Any of the Paper Mario sidekicks, Goombella is sooooo popular, Vivian even more so. I'd love to see Parakarry again, and Watt sense we've let babies drive for Decades now. Anyone from SPM is a longshot but I'd still love if they showed up...

And hey! The Remaster of Super Mario RPG was a Hit! so how about Geno??? He's sooooooo popular and already converted to 3D with the remaster! And the Mario and Luigi series came back, so how about some old classics from those games? The Elite Trio, maybe Broque Monsieur? He did get referenced in Brothership (apparently)

Sorry it's all Mario RPGs those are my favorites. Anyways.

I'm sure the Koopalings will Eventually be added back in but it feels so weird they were Excluded at Launch to make room for.... Like just a Fucking Dolphin? It doesn't effect me, I know, because I didn't buy at Launch (or possibly ever) but I still think they're like. Incredibly stupid.

To actually Answer your question though, sense this is the direction Mario Kart is going and it's not changing obviously, I guess I'd like to see Chain Chomp. Always loved Chain Chomp. Let the dog drive. I also think it'd be funny if they let Bullet Bill drive, but also kept it as an Item. Just to be Difficult.

Oh also all the basic townie type friendly NPCs from Odyssey? Like the Shiverians and Volbonans. I say all of them because that does mean they have to make the Realistic Man from New Donk City playable as well and I just think that'd be very funny.

[woosh-floosh]

My other grip with the MK8DX Booster Pass is that there is NO Super Mario Odyssey inspired tracks, characters, or karts!

There should be a track based on every kingdom, there should be kart bodies based on the Odyssey, Jaxi, Mechawiggler, and Sherm. They should let me play as Cappy, Glydon, a New Donker, one of those snail guys, a Tostarenans, Talkatoo, one of the fork men, one of the robots from the wooded kingdom, a Shiverian, a Pokio, an Uproot, a Tropical Wiggler. They should let me play as the little UFO that looks like Torkdrift and acts like a bird in the Moon Kingdom.

This is my dream.
