#super mario odyssey apparently

[heraverick]

breaking bad is truly one of the most iconic tv shows of the last few decades. i LOVE how every arc ends with this screen! no other show did stuff like this before breaking bad!

[insertthenewblhere]

Super Mario Princesses if I did it

ngl I love these characters but for such a cartoony world, I am bothered by the fact they all look super similar.. so I hopped on the redesign train! I wanted them more cartoony😊 I gave them each a primary shape like a real tooner (these are adjustments of some older designs I did))

❗Rosalina: I wanted her to look more like she was lost in space for a million years lol, so she's super skinny and has washed out skin. I wanted her clothes to be inspired by cliche God attire. also her hair is now star shaped. I tried to make her look more powerful and sad lol. (her shape is long, there's no emoji for that)

🔴Peach: I really like how she looks in Paper Mario and wished she always had that shape language.. I love when the body is just a circle on a circle! I wanted her dress to look less like a European royal gound cuz it didn't match the vibe of the toads to me. speaking of which, I gave her a mushroom hat instead of a crown :) and put spots on her "pearls?" I made her hair red because of her old design and her lips are heart shaped ye!

🔺Daisy: I'm not a "new daisy design hater", despite wanting to give her a unique dress, I also love that her and Peach match, so tried to keep that. (like most redesigners) I wanted her to dress more appropriate for the desert which she apparently lives in. The three jewls that match Peach didn't work on her head piece so now it's just on her forehead lol. (ya see.. Peach is made of round shapes so Daisy's made of sharp shaped🤯🤯🤯)

🟥Pauline: I made her OLD!!! because Cranky is OLD and cuz she's a referance to an OLD game!!! but more then that, I wanted her to look more like a cartoony mayor, so her being a little old lady is just cute (she still was super tall back in the day). I like Paulines suit from Odyssey more than her dress so Ima treat it like her defult attire. obviously she still rocks the form fitted dress hehehe.

(idk how yall make ur rough sketches look so good T-T)

GingerBrave hcs because I'm going insane and I can no longer contain the silliness. (Idk how to do this so don't hate me pls)

GingerBrave is a people pleaser. He wants to go around and try to make everyone happy even if it isn't possible.

Luigi is GingerBrave's favorite Mario character. Like he likes him so much he'd pick him for anything. And he has all of his games

Although most cookies in the witches castle are ageless for their own reasons GingerBrave is the only ageless person who was made by the shadow witch. The only reason he was ageless was because she apparently dropped a crystal in his dough

Whenever GingerBrave feels bad or as if he did something wrong he would make that one face in spongebob (hopefully yk which one)

GingerBrave can literally be a child genius then the next second he is a complete dumbass

His VA is Bradley Pierce yes I mean tails sonic boom VA (I'm aware he already has one but he is a stinky poo poo man)

GingerBrave is completely insecure of the scars he got from battle because he believes he got them from "recklessness"

GingerBrave loves cosplaying his favorite is being magical boy cosplays or basically making a male version of magical girl cosplays.

GingerBrave can actually hear footsteps from miles away from him even if they're quiet.

GingerBrave likes going to the dark cacao kingdom for the holidays.

GingerBrave watches a lot of power puff girls and total drama.

GingerBrave is constantly scared that his friends would abandon him when given the chance a lot. Even when he is reassured.

After what happened on day four of cookie Odyssey GingerBrave made a promise to never tell anyone anything ever again. He fears it could get anyone hurt.

And despite it being clotted's own fault GingerBrave still blames himself for day four his excuse being that if he didn't tell clotted the truth it wouldn't have happened

GingerBrave is trans-male his dead name is gingerly cookie. The only people who know this are GingerBright, skater, wizard, zombie, strawberry, hero cookie and GingerDozer.

GingerBrave is the youngest of all of his siblings. And he hates being teased for it.

When GingerBrave is confronted by fear like actual fear you can tell by the way he violently shakes. But people rarely know that he does this.

GingerBrave's love language is reassurance.

GingerBrave carries around a yellow backpack. It was a gift from GingerDozer.

GingerBrave's favorite song is actually Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez.

GingerBrave actually has a huge sweet tooth that he hides.

GingerBrave fears judgement. This fear encourages him to do his best so people's high expectations are met.

GingerBrave loves squishmellows. Especially the big ones.

GingerBrave actually uses emoticons over emojis because he thinks they're cuter.

GingerBrave would only wear his frog costume during the spring time

His favorite color is parakeet. He likes to specifically use the shade because he thinks its normal

GingerDozer actually gave GingerBrave the "Brave" part for his fearless stunts

GingerBrave owns a tank. A tank made out of cardboard.

Sorry If it's too long I was too excited. :(

ARTBOOK SCANS DUMP

Apparently this person not only uploaded scans of the arknights vol. 2 artbook, but they also have scans of the vol.1 artbook and interview with various ak illustrator (in CN obviously). Moreover, looks like they collect scans of artbooks from various media

I'll try to list them all, there's like 100 uploads there so I might miss a few, and maybe some of them aren't an artbook post since I didn't check them all properly. Also the arknights scans doesn't seem to be sorted in any way so it might be possible that the others are unsorted as well.

Oh boy! I sure cannot wait to see Super Mario Odyssey 2, Legend of Zelda Tears of the Breath of the Kingdom Wild 3, Metroid Prime 4, Kirby and the Well-known Land, Splatoon 4: Modern Squidfare, uh.... and Super Mario Galaxy 3!!!

Ok in all seriousness tho, I don't know what the hell to expect from Nintendo, I just know that they'll blow Sony out of the water after that dogshit State of Play (aside from Astro Bot I'm super duper hyped for my PS5 to get a second game.) And they might be able to top Xbox but, we'll see.

In terms of Splatoon.... I'm not expecting anything. Maybe an amiibo announcement because there is amiibo data of Marina in her Splatoon 3 pose in the files APPARENTLY so, maybe we might see new Off the Hook amiibo? Hopefully we get a Pearl Drone amiibo. We may see the Summer Fest date? Maybe? Idk. Don't expect to see the Final Fest in here cause we ain't gonna see that for a while.

[gglitchshit]

every once in a while i remember super mario odyssey and how much i loved it and how i couldn't finish it because of joycon drift.

and no, i can't send it to nintendo to repair for free, and no i won't buy a new joycon or pro-controller, because even those are not safe from the drift apparently. and it's ridiculous how i "need" to spend extra money because of a faulty console.

and so my spite with nintendo started and continues to this day. i don't even subscribe to online anymore. nintendo doesn't deserve it. and thankfully i'm burnt out on splatoon at this point.

and i hate this all. odyssey was so fun and i would have loved to finish it. :( or even play more. but alas.

presenting...

The Amazing Digital Circus Road Trip AU!!!! 🎪🛣️🎉

I finally have the courage to post something of genuine purpose here!!!

So this is the summary:

• The events prior to the road trip were… eventful, for lack of a better term. To make a long story short, a group of dimensional travelers opened the eyes of the Amazing Digital Circus, both for better and for worse. What started out so rocky ended up becoming a closer bond for them, as they learned more about the other dimensions, and maybe, just maybe, the enigmatic inner machinations of C&A and their perpetually dark history.

• About 6 months went by since then, with Bubble, and four of the interdimensional diplomats, Beth, Pam, Val, and Garcia, creating brand new maps for the game that the others could explore, while completing tasks, gaining artifacts, and meeting brand new people, all while keeping the details secret until it was ready. The other diplomats each had their own contributions to their own game maps, as did Bubble, but only one knew the ending of the road trip: the main diplomat Lulu.

• The road trip would be akin to the world level-based collect-a-thon video games, a la the Super Mario Odyssey, and the role-playing games a la the Steven Universe: Light series. Twenty-six designated levels were made, each with a different theme, animation style, culture, customs, interactable NPCs, characters in need of help, and antagonists/bosses that they can defeat.

• There is a door made out of mountain rock that needs to be unlocked, using all twenty-six (or twenty-eight, depending on your point of view on the matter) jewels, to unlock the “ending” of the road trip; no one else, not even Bubble, knows what's behind the rock door — no one, that is, except Lulu. She says that it's a surprise for afterwards. Each gem is hidden somewhere in their respective worlds, and the players need to obtain and collect all of the jewels in order to open that door by completing tasks, fulfilling objectives, and defeating antagonists. While the circus players pack their things into the Magical Digital Van (a combo of the Magic School Bus for the cutesy face that only communicates in beeps or radio music, and Vanzilla from The Loud House, in terms of retro appearance and spaciousness in cargo and passengers), Garcia gives Caine a silver-colored crystalline gem, causing a “YOU DID IT” pop-up to appear, startling him. Apparently, the pop-up appears when a jewel is obtained after completing the location’s objective. After the first jewel is placed in the middle of the rock door, The Amazing Digital Circus sets off for fun and adventure, thrills and peril, comedy and tragedy, action and excitement, an obscure all-star cast of side characters, heroes, villains, pop culture references, ties to nostalgia, relatability, and… possibly romance…...? Who knows? The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.

• Each of the Digital Circus members have magical Velcro bracelet communicators that they can use to contact the diplomats for help on tasks, finding out further information, or to just talk to them the same way we'd talk to our loved ones on the phone for hours on end. The communicators also send the circus members notifications for an objective they must complete (do keep in mind they can come much later than usual when they least expect it), as well as random achievements, the same way you would when actually playing a video game. Once a jewel has been obtained by any means, the pop-up will congratulate the circus members for grabbing the jewel, as well as to notify how many left you need to obtain to unlock the rock door. For example:

~ JEWEL OBTAINED! ~

15 out of 26

Only 11 remain

~~~~

Characters:

The original eight characters have been slightly altered to fit the AU, but still have most of their canon traits intact.

• Caine:

Caine is still the charismatic goofball we all know and love, but with a dash of nervousness, inability to understand human humor, especially Gen Z humor, and hints of newfound irritability. He's practically a fish out of water in most of these game locations, not really capable of self-defense outside of his signature cane, and being a lot more cautious and protective with his fellow members, especially his best friend and guide, Pomni. Caine sometimes acts as the dad friend of the group, not tolerating anyone's BS and trying to maintain order in situations he's absolutely not familiar with at all. When around Pomni, he feels kinda at ease, with their dynamic being akin to SpongeBob and Patrick when working together. Hell, Jax even refers to Caine and Pomni as The Dynamic Duo.

• Bubble:

Still the chaotic, anarchy-loving glutton we all know and love, but with a caring side to him. You see, for as long as Bubble could remember, he had been Caine's sole confidant, being there for him during his toughest battles, from witnessing yet another abstraction, to calming the ringleader down after a nasty panic attack. They're even roommates! (my god, they were roommates) Bubble would totally just go with the flow and not worry too much about having to adapt to an environment completely different than his own. In fact, his masochistic tendencies make the perils more thrilling for him! He'd also act as the mom friend of the bunch, acting as some sort of mediator for when things get too chaotic for his liking. He'll also lend a helping hand if so desired.

•Pomni:

She's still jittery and anxious, but thankfully not as bad as when she first arrived at The Amazing Digital Circus. After several months of dealing with this game's BS, she developed an indifference to her situation as a defense mechanism, and has become something of a voice of reason to the others. Jesters in real life are known for not just providing entertainment and comedic nitpicks to the royal court, but were also considered their royal advisors. Pomni would become Caine's advisor after some constructive criticisms towards him and his methods of keeping the others sane and healthy, and later on his best friend, acting as Bubble's stand in from time to time, providing witty banter and friendly roast sessions with the other circus members. Jax often calls Pomni and Caine “The Dynamic Duo” because of the fact that they share some things in common: both can turn into nervous wrecks during stressful situations, both are hilarious to be around, both want to keep the circus happy and healthy, and both care immensely for the well-being of everyone around them. Rumor has it they're also drinking buddies; but nothing has been confirmed…

• Ragatha:

Still our cheerful and good-natured ragdoll, with big sister/ant tendencies. Her hugs are as soft as they are warm and reassuring. She'd be the one to always look on the bright side, even when surrounded by unfamiliar surroundings, kinda like Ruby Gloom. She still has to keep an eye on Jax and make sure he doesn't get up to no good, but during moments where Ragatha and Jax must work together, there are things they can learn from one another. Ragatha would teach Jax the importance of being kind to others as well as taking time to listen and understand them, while Jax could teach Ragatha how to be more assertive and set proper boundaries, making her less of a passive pushover and more confident in taking care of herself first. Ragatha could also attract animals and have them help around with chores, a la Snow White.

• Jax:

Jax is less of a condescending asshole and more of a Jerk With A Heart Of Gold, becoming Pomni's big brother figure when necessary. Sometimes, he and Pomni would get into comedic hijinks of their own, as regular siblings naturally would, even pulling off harmless pranks. Jax is still snarky as always, but this time, being more genre savvy than the others, taking notes of his surroundings, and apparently has a lot of knowledge about agriculture, which proves useful for one particular road trip location. He'll also go out of his way to give someone a hug if he sense someone is in dire need of one, and will offer helpful advice during his more rare moments of kindness.

• Gangle:

Still the cute and bubbly but also emotional and prone to crying talking theater mask, but with hidden depths. Her love for anime and all things Japan is generally what keeps her going, as well as her love for drawing. Gangle doesn't really contribute much other than trying to be as helpful as possible, especially after finding out she can use her ribbons as a rope! Golly! She is, however, incredibly intelligent, with a knack for math, science, and history, as we come to find out in a road trip location, and can even speak and translate Japanese. When Gangle decides to grow a spine in protecting her friends from harm or bullying (even Jax, surprisingly), her voice has a tendency to change to a more mature and assertive business-like tone (remember that her VA, Marissa Lenti, was once the voice of a high school guidance counselor until… y'know.) to show you that you really shouldn't fuck with her. This causes Jax to rethink picking on Gangle ever again at one point.

• Zooble:

Honestly, not much can be said about Zooble, other than they're mostly apathetic, slightly rude, and snarky, being there cuz they can. They, along with Bubble, kinda just go with the flow, but now has the ability to become awestruck or starstruck by the other circus members’ newfound abilities, including Gangle's rope ribbons. Zooble also takes time to appreciate the little things in life, enjoying the much-needed change of pace the road trip brings. They're basically the emo goth kid in terms of personality, but with layers like an onion. Zooble also acts as the bodyguard of the circus members, somehow discovering her prowess in defensive combat, fueled by the innate desire to protect their loved ones at all costs.

• Kinger:

The oldest surviving member of the circus, Kinger still retains his ability to get startled easily from constantly dissociating, his love for insects and insect collecting, and his knack for building pillow forts. Due to being the oldest, he now acts as the group’s grandpa, with his “back in my day” kind of storytelling, and apparent knowledge of how the digital world works. He also offers some life advice on how to get through even the toughest days, him having lived through it long ago with Queenie’s abstraction, and is noticeably a lot more chipper and compassionate during the road trip. He also becomes braver and more empathetic in one particular road trip location, with him becoming less startled easily over time. He apparently is also a tech genius (in reference to MatPat and finnthepony’s theory on Kinger’s past life as The Amazing Digital Circus’s game dev), having knowledge on how to fix machines and software, as well as acting as the gang's mechanic for the Magical Digital Van.

~~~~

• The Magical Digital Van:

Built by Bubble, Kinger, Val, and Beth, the Magical Digital Van is the main vehicle the circus members use for the road trip, traveling to different destinations and stops along the way. The Van has a cutesy face that pays homage to The Magic School Bus, with her own emotions and reactions, but can only communicate in van noises, horn beeps, and radio music. Yes, the Van is a girl; a lot of vehicles in real life (including ships) are referred to by female pronouns. Kinger especially loves the Van like he would his girlfriend, much to the chagrin of everyone else.

~~~~

• Potential ships(?):

I might be the only one in a sea of Showtime, Bluetooth, and Kingleader, among others on this platform, but I actually do ship Caine x Bubble. When I first saw the pilot, I thought to myself, “yep. These two definitely have chemistry.” I see them as one of those old bickering couples that like to tease each other. They've basically been through thick and thin, gray skies and sunny days, tears of laughter, and everything in between. Also, I'm in love with the idea of Caine just being a tsundere; I find it pretty hilarious to me. And Pomni being the Shipper On Deck in the background. I have a particular fondness for the unusual.

Another ship mentioned here is Jax x Ragatha. Remember The Princess & The Frog where Naveen taught Tiana to relax a little, while Tiana taught Naveen to take life more seriously and work harder to achieve his goals? Well, it's essentially that, like rivals to lovers or something. I love when “opposites attract” is done properly, especially here!

Bluetooth (Moon x Caine) would have been canon in this AU at one point in the past, but now The Moon and Caine are exes (y'all can have exes in fiction btw!). In the past, Caine and Moon dated (and at one point did the deed, *wink wink*), but after the Moon became too clingy and possessive, with a yandere attitude, Caine broke up with her, and Pomni would have helped both the Moon and Caine move on from the breakup, realizing what they had was not healthy. This “adventure”/off-screen episode would be mentioned here and there during the road trip (I want to assume the road trip is like a Season 3 thing, but the show's success might contradict this; oh, well) while Bubble and Caine try to take things slowly.

Hints of Gangle x Zooble (aptly named Google by the masses) can be found, but only in subtext. Zooble makes an in-passing comment on how they find Gangle's assertive voice to be hot at one point.

~~~~

This AU pays homage to… well… A LOT of things that I enjoy watching over the years. It takes a look back on the things I found nostalgic as a kid growing up in the late 2000s and early 2010’s, including things that might also be familiar to other older generations of Gen Z. My most recent fixations (such as Unikitty) can also be found there, including random YouTubers I used to watch all the time, horror movies I grew fond of, some cartoons I still watch, such as Steven Universe, The Loud House, Teen Titans Go of all shows, the DreamWorks and Disney movies I watched as a kid, the older Gen Z memes we're familiar with by now, other video games we used to play all the time, among many others. I also wanted to spice up the variety of the fandom with my own interpretations of the characters, as well as some neat ideas I wanted to share when I conceived them.

With that being said, I hope you enjoyed this summary of my brand new AU idea!

Welcome one and all to

The Amazing Digital Road Trip!

[kappatater]

Huh, I thought I'd posted Bowser art here already, but apparently I didn't? That's a waste of an 8/4 for me. Oh well.

I have a headcanon about Bowser being an artist and/or by extension the Koopas having some sort of inclination to art, what with the warped paintings in SM64, Bowser Jr. taking up the paintbrush (possibly out of inspiration?), and even the fact that the Koopa Kingdom's major export being hanafuda cards (according to the brochure in Super Mario Odyssey (i really love those brochures i can't believe mario did a pause-for-lore thing)).

Also there's these two busts.

[for-king-k-rool-fans]

I’m just gonna say it. I won’t be too surprised if Mr.K.rool comes back. Cause no one knows who he is but us fans. However, it could be a good Easter egg or appeared as a cameo. Cause It looks the new enemies are the main baddies in the new Donkey Kong game. But other than that this giant lug needs more love. Give this Big Kremling King support T^T

Same, I won't hope kremlings and the king would come back thanks to Bananza, despite this game is apparently made by the same team who did Super Mario Odyssey where Pauline make a big return since.

Plus I am afraid that the Rare identity is dispearring through the new DK's redesign despite I like the new one. Which is why kremlings never came back and Nintendo uses every enemy and new ones for DK (we can see that in NintendoLand... 🌚)

But deep inside, I hope once Bananza will have a great popularity, to the point there will be a sequel or new DK games anyway, kremlings and King K. Rool would make a return for good in future.

But we will see that...

[craftyjellyfishcat]

Weird dream time

It was mixture of Super Mario odyssey, Pizza Tower, and Antonblast

Apparently Pizzahead and Satan were in love with each other but had a obsession with Peppino and Anton (you can see how odd this is going to get).

I guess it got to where they couldn't even do anything without thinking about those two angry sons of guns.

Suddenly Pizzahead got an idea but only if his Shnookums would agree to it: capture Anton and Peppino, then forcedly marry them (you see the issue here?)

For some reason, Satan agreed and somehow despite being unstoppable forces, Anton and Peppino got caught.

Now the only ones Gustavo, Annie, Noise, and Brick must travel to save Peppino and Anton (why no one else is helping or why Annie or Noise was helping idk-)

[veebs-hates-video-games]

Ok just kidding, apparently I'm still going through older stuff that's taken me years to get around to playing.

The Swapper is probably the current champion for ugliest game I've played so far this year. The puzzles seem decent enough (even if they're a bit awkward using a controller), and there's something potentially interesting going on in the world, but it's physically uncomfortable for me to look at it. Everything is so blown out and blurry and looks absolutely awful. It's weird because the designs of things, while not terribly interesting, seem totally fine, but it's the effects on top of that that make it unbearable for me. Like yeah there are plenty of other games from that time period that went overboard with depth of field and bloom and stuff too, but in addition to that the implementation of them in this seems particularly bad. Turning them off in the settings definitely helps, but it still doesn't look great.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is...complicated. I never played it on my Wii because the disc drive started acting funny before the game was even out. I made a decent chunk of the way into the game in an emulator years later, but I stopped eventually because a 360 controller and a mouse is an awkward combination for certain sections. It works a lot better on the Steam Deck, where there are better options for the pointer like using the gyro or one of the trackpads, but I still don't think I'm finishing it. It's just so weird that even though their flagship series like Mario and Zelda desperately need good camera controls they made a controller that just has no reasonable way to control the camera (sorry, the d-pad doesn't really count). Between that and needing to point at stuff I'm just not having a good enough time to keep going even though the level design is good and it still looks great. I could pair an actual wiimote with my computer now that the drivers are better and I have bluetooth that's fully compatible with it, but I don't think I'll bother. There'll probably be a new 3D Mario by the end of the year anyway, and if they keep experimenting with stuff like they did in Odyssey and Bowser's Fury it'll probably be great.

[sublimealexaprincess]

Hi!

I just realised something but I don't know if you already answered this:

Does Javi's powers (and/or her ancestors) are related to the Cloud Kingdom?

I say this because the guide says that the Cloud Kingdom has secrets and mysteries we don't know as there was apparently a civilisation before.

What do you think? ^^

I didn’t remember this super mario odyssey zone

But your theory gave me an idea that I can use the integrate in the Lore of the character

In fact I can confirm that the origin of her powers as a witch is a secret only knows that she has magic and comes from a lineage of witches and witches

Although the origin may be related to that kingdom as I see you noticed that Mayor Tulip is related to the moon and indeed the moon has something to do with it

Maybe if the first ancestor of his family was from that kingdom and carried magic

If the capital your family founded has lunar symbols in your city and you can say that there are more uses of Energy moons than in other areas

I appreciate this observation of yours certainly helps me a lot for your story as a fact to add ✨🩷

Besides that kingdom is one of my favorites

By the way the mayor is called Tulip no Javi xd

Scrunkore Media "Thread" 2023: Part 6

the scrunko core has burned out, rebooting

63) Cassette Beasts (PC, 2023)

This is a really cool monster tamer RPG, it came up with a really fun type interaction system and there are are excellent designs in it especially with the eldritch-style bosses, that's super fun. Big fan of the setting and its unique vibe too, if you've played the game you'll know what I mean about that. Great indie I enjoyed my time with, though the romance feels tacked on and I thought the ending was just Fine. [4★]

64) Doctor Who, Series 6-10 (TV, 2011-2017)

Moffat's entire tenure with the greatest TV show in Britain, knocked out within the year, and honestly I think it was quite good. Plenty of flaws, like his messy ambitions, how weird he is about women sometimes, and how some episodes just genuinely fucking suck, but you get that with every era of the show really. The highs are damn high, especially with Capaldi's Doctor in episodes like Heaven Sent and The Doctor Falls, and I think that's enough to outweigh the bad. And I feel like series 10 in particular is often overlooked more than it should be, pretty strong one that is. No rating, but I love Doctor Who when it's good.

65) Mad Rat Dead (Switch, 2020)

MAD RAT MONDAY!!!! I played this game because of the soundtrack, which totally bangs and of course you need that in a rhythm game like this one. Fun one it is too, it has options to make it less challenging and the story is unexpectedly pretty cool. I'm not very good at it, but I beat it and I had a fun time doing so. Rats rule. [4★]

66) Doctor Who: The Lonely Assassins (Switch, 2021)

This is apparently the only good Doctor Who game still officially playable, and yeah, I can see it. Immersing yourself in a mystery contained within a smartphone featuring an iconic monster and fun appearances from existing characters is pretty cool, though it can be kinda janky and there's not that much to it in the end. Certainly an alright experience though. [3★]

67) F-Zero 99 (Switch, 2023)

My only experience with F-Zero so far, the surprise announcement that jumpscared fans of the series before turning out to be a battle royale type game that's actually... kinda good? Chaotic fun with decently engaging gameplay, it's something you pick up and play for a bit before doing something else but don't play for hours once the honeymoon phase wears off. Sure helps add something to NSO, sure hope it doesn't get taken down in a year. [3.5★]

68) Sonic Superstars (PC, 2023)

A good new Sonic game! From Sonic Team! The series really has been popping off lately, and though some people complained about this one, I genuinely think it stands at least close to the classic titles it's following up from. Levels are fun and creative with the only real bullshit being in the optional postgame (which does kind of suck if you're not good), and though the soundtrack has plenty of duds it's still pretty decent overall. Cool cast of playable characters too, and it's great seeing Fang come back, with the new character Trip also being a fun addition. I don't think this is peak Sonic, but for me it was a good time that I enjoyed for the most part. [4★]

69) Super Mario Bros. Wonder (Switch, 2023)

Oh 2D Mario is so fucking back, this takes the formula that the "New" series was running with and gives it a super aggressive shake-up and an injection of creativity that it really needed. It has a really nice visual look, actually cool level design that is great to run through, fun powers, and a large roster of playable characters including Daisy finally. Not to mention it sounds good, the music is a great important part of it and the talking flowers in every level are honestly just fun. One of the best platformers on Switch right now, I like it more than Odyssey honestly. [5★]

70) Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon (Movie, 2019)

Bit of a silly watch this was, but in all honesty I'll always be a fan of Aardman's work and this is a pretty fun movie that all ages can enjoy whether they like Shaun the Sheep or not. It's animated as well as you'd expect, does some cute stuff, and honestly I kinda like the music in it too. Just a funny little adventure with that silly sheep and his weird cute alien friend. [3.5★]

71) Suika Game (Switch, 2023)

Suika Game.

72) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Booster Course Pass (Switch DLC, 2022-2023)

Dropping a two-year DLC that doubles the track list and adds a bunch of new characters and balance updates to a Mario Kart game we thought was over was a fucking wild thing to do, but Nintendo did it and honestly it worked out quite well. Sure, it's clearly all Tour ports and a lot of them don't look too hot, but for the sheer quantity of it I don't think I can complain too much. They even chose pretty good tracks for the most part, with only a few favourites being left out that I can only assume will be remade in the next game and therefore end up better than ever. I think the game is actually done now, and I think it's probably the best Mario Kart at this point. Not bad at all. [4★]

73) PLUTO (Anime, 2023)

An anime that took ages to get made, and it shows all the polish that much time of production should have you expect (perhaps too much polish with all those unnecessary digital effects). It's a pretty complete adaptation of a much-praised manga about war, robots and consciousness, some strong science fiction with quite good writing based on an old arc from Tezuka's Astro Boy manga. It's pretty tragic how things turn out for most of the characters, but it's so good how it goes about things, and I think it was worth the wait. One of the best Netflix-distributed anime, I'd say. [4.5★]

74) Super Mario RPG (Switch, 2023)

Geno fans have not shut up for years, so how does his game hold up now that it's been polished up into HD? Not bad, honestly. It's a solid RPG experience with simple yet engaging battle gameplay that laid the foundations for other Mario RPG titles to come, and now it's all shiny and stuff. It's a fun journey through a whimsical Mario setting with the quirks you'd come to expect, apparently a pretty faithful remake with only a few new additions and script edits that it sort of needed. I don't think this game is really that special in 2023, but I liked it plenty. Funny that Geno is barely a character though. [4★]

This week on “things I never expected to find while surfing the Mariowiki”:

Almost-canon Bowsette

Idk how many people already know this but, apparently an old concept for Super Mario Odyssey had Bowser teaming up with an evil version of Cappy, which would’ve allowed him to capture things like Mario can. The final boss was going to feature Bowser using Evil Cappy to capture Peach and become a Bowser-Peach hybrid

Thus, we are gifted with the true Nintendo-born design of Bowsette
