#super mario spinoffs

[goldiipond]

always have a moment of pure confusion whenever people say the mario series is boring/has no lore before i remember all the batshit rpgs are over a decade old at the very least and the fact that mario once got sent to actual hell by a floating clown is in fact not common knowledge

#skye's ramblings #i forget the rpgs are spinoffs most of the time they are the main super mario games to me. i hope they make another marios game soon

Mario & Luigi: The Realm of Monsters

M&M:TRoM is a Mario/Undertale crossover. This AU takes place after Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, but the events of Undertale have not taken place.

The great war between humans and monsters is much the same with the residents of the underground having to make refuge from below the surface of this planet. What they failed to realise is that most humans got wiped out from that great war, and those monsters who remained loyal to humans (such as Toads) brought the remaining few to royalty.

Some monsters weren't actually banished. King "Bowser" Koopa was only a child when the war broke out, and he like some other monsters were able to go into hiding. From his parents being killed during the war, he made it apparent that he eventually wanted to be rid of any other humans that came their way to avenge his fallen bloodline. Of course, that doesn't go well (hence the plot of the previous Mario & Luigi games).

For Mario and Luigi, because in this timeline, their LV is well into the hundreds. In this AU, LV carries over through each game. So enough is enough. Bowser wanted to open up the barrier to free the sealed monsters away to build his army and finally get the remaining humans alive to perish. He knows that with Mario and Luigi's LVs being so high, he's going to need all the help he can get. Of course, the tale goes that seven human souls would be enough to break the barrier, but there's also the question: would the seven-star children be enough to break the barrier?

It's certainly worth a shot. Somehow, overnight, Bowser was able to gather the 7 children by doing one of his usual kidnapping shades and manages to get the 7 of them together. And through some feat, it works.

The realm is broken, and everything is put on a reset. Perhaps it was the impossibly high powers of the Mario Brothers that allowed them to live, but Princess Peach wasn't so lucky. Almost instantly she got hit with a comatose state and Mario and Luigi rushed off to try and heal her as best they could. But for them, their strength practically diminished, perhaps hitting "reset" on all the LVs they had accumulated and set them back to 1 (more on this later.) With the barrier open, Bowser instantly introduced himself to the people of the underground, explaining his motives in his usual dramatic fashion, saying that he wanted to be the king that brought a new age to monsters like him, and he was widely supported. Asgore, as a fellow king boss monster got on very well terms and the monsters of the underground were very welcome to live in the Dark Lands.

The move from the underground to the surface was slow, but a lot of people rushed to see the wonders of the outside. Papyrus himself was perhaps the most eager of the bunch, for this, of course, would be the perfect time to find a human! Sans of course held a dulled sense of enthusiasm like he always does, but he held a slower start. He went to tell his friend on the other side of the ruined doors about the big news, but surprisingly, she did not wish to engage with going to the surface. She believed that humans themselves should be greeted with kindness, not with violence. It certainly gave Sans some food for thought, and he promised to visit her after he got used to things on the surface.

With the princess in a near-death-like state with the chances for recovery looking slim, the bros are seen as the leading example of guidance. It was the question if Mario himself was already a prince because of his relationship with the princess, but he had consistently rejected the role. The concerning thing for both of them is certainly their extreme decline in strength. Breaking the barrier certainly did a number on them and they're practically starting from stage 1. Both of them are obviously panicking since if their acquired strength is suddenly gone, they would have no chance of going against Bowser. Who knows until a battle would break out? Esepcially with a new army.

The two agree they have to split up and get as many supplies as they can. They need to get anything they can-- call anyone they know to bring support to the mushroom kingdom. Bean Bean, Pi'illo Island; whoever can help. Luigi had the idea of going to professor E-Gadd to possibly build a defence around the kingdom whilst the princess remains out of commission. That's a wonderful trip to Boo Woods, but he'll have to bear it.

Although, along the way, he happens to run into one skeleton. Papyrus took it upon himself to do some exploring because he was sure he was going to run into plenty of company. It was quite strange; any Boo who tried to scare him simply couldn't, he remained completely fearless and tried to make acquaintances with anyone he met. But none of them bothered to stick around. The two of them end up bumping into each other by pure chance, and there is a large amount of screaming, Luigi from fear and Papyrus from seeing a human. Luigi immediately thinks he's outnumbered and there is no way he could take on a boss monster *now* but Papyrus turns out to be the least threatening Boss monster he had ever seen. He's immediately fascinated by him, screaming his head off about how this was so amazing, but at the same time remembering his royal guard status. Papyrus takes it upon himself to guide this human to safety instead! There, no troubles!

But Luigi expresses concern about this-- he says he needs to get going to get back home and Papyrus expresses a fantastic "not to worry!" and proceeds to help him along the way. He makes it absolutely certain that he will not leave this human's side until he is brought to safety! Whilst hesitant, Luigi knows he can't get this guy off his tale and continues to E-Gadd's.

Between getting supplies, asking for potential help and going back to Boo Words, Papyrus and Luigi developed a decent acquaintanceship! Papyrus talked about being on the surface and Luigi took the great understanding of his situation, but also deeply dreaded when Papyrus claimed Bowser's plans. They also talked about their brothers quite a bit and their bad habits, but the two of them saw each other on even the ground. Papyrus walked Luigi back to the beginning of the Mushroom Kingdom where the palace was just overhead before Luigi said that they should end it here (their walk that is). Luigi feared that Papyrus being out with him could trigger a domino effect that would make Bowser immediately enact an attack on the weakened mushroom kingdom. Luigi also fears for Papyrus' safety going back to the darklands, since if its found out, Papyrus could be exiled by Bowser's crew and possibly killed. He asks Papyrus not to tell anyone about the princess' condition, nor Luigi and Mario's lack of resources so they can prevent the fighting as long as possible, and Papyrus agrees!

But of course, he spills the secrets to Sans. Papyrus tells Sans of his day and his adventure with Luigi (as short as it was), and the situation of the humans and their resources. From how Bowser had described them, Sans expected Luigi and his brother to be incredible threats, LV beyond comprehension, but they weren't (at least appeared to be). Papyrus even said that Luigi wished to keep their meeting anonymous so that Bowser and his army wouldn't go after him and Sans.

Sans agrees that he won't go telling anyone about it, but he doesn't agree to not doing his own investigation.

Sans never got a description of the brothers, other than that Luigi had "a real grand moustache and a brilliant brightly coloured hat!", which isn't exactly helpful when there are two of them. The next day, he finds Mario out collecting supplies from powerup boxes and assumes that it's Luigi who Papyrus met yesterday. It's a very similar greeting to the beginning of Undertale, but instead Sans says "don't you know its rude to break people's boxes? You're looking like a real *boxer*". And that goes as well as it can. Mario's obviously threatened by Sans' presence being a Boss monster, and Sans isn't threatened because he's LV 1, so how bad could he be?

A couple lines into their interaction and Luigi shows up there after and recognises Sans as the "short, lazy, apathetic, but loveable" brother of Papyrus. He immediately exclaims his recognition of him and how he had met Papyrus yesterday, in which Sans admits Papyrus told him already. Mario gets on the defence since it's a HUGE problem two boss monsters who are living on the Dark Lands know they're weakened atm but Sans is like "nah bruh chill out jeez." During this interaction, Sans does the good ol' (*check) but it heeds underwhelming results. But he knows, he knows something is wrong. Bowser talks about these two like he does the devil, and with both of them being LV 1, it doesn't make any sense. Luigi himself seems to be the more pacifist of the two, but he's certain there's more to this than he could ever think on. But, for now, he agrees there's no bad blood between the two sets of brothers and only wishes to greet his new pals with a handshake (You can guess what happens next).

From then on, Papyrus and Sans spend less and less time in the Dark Lands and more and more time along the mushroom kingdom side, and the more time spent with the Mario Brothers reveals a more sympathetic story about Bowser's kidnappings with the princess. They most certainly agree that Bowser coming to destroy the kingdom isn't cool, and they start helping out the bros as best they can.

This is just the beginning of the plot and there is a lot more to it but OWO !!!

Been seein some rather cold takes about Daisy lately…

I’ve seen some people say that she has no personality outside of fanon, but that’s just not true. There is a very very common misconception among the fandom (at least that I’ve noticed) that if a character doesn’t appear in a “mainline” game, then they have no personality. But I’d argue that the spinoffs actually offer waaaaay more in terms of looking into character personalities. And no, I’m not talking about the RPGs ala M&L and Paper Mario as those are obviously full of personality (and Daisy isn’t in those). I’m talking about the Party, Kart, Tennis, and other sports games.

Yes, Daisy hasn’t appeared in any mainline game since her debut, but she’s been in nearly every sports game and her traits, stats, abilities, victory/loss animations, and various other tiny details add up to her personality. The fact that she’s nearly always yelling or just speaking really loud in general (noticeably more than any other character), the fact that she constantly feels a need to say her name and make herself known, how she loves flowers and considers even a small patch of flowers worth protecting, how she’s easily bored by tasks that don’t excite her and isn’t so reliable for them. She tends to jump around a lot, and spin and dance around when she’s excited! She’s apparently a rather fast runner and that is considered her specialty! These are all traits that are displayed in the spinoffs, and there’s probably soooo many more that I just can’t remember right now.

Now, I do think her tomboyish nature is probably fanon, as I don’t really remember seeing anything to show that she acts that way in the games. I think people probably think she’s tomboyish due to how loud and energetic she is. But hey, there’s plenty of fanon for just about any character from any fandom out there. And what’s so wrong with that? Isn’t the whole point of making fanworks to expand on the framework already provided by canon? If we want to stick to what’s actually “canon” then nearly everything the fandom has created would have to be tossed, because there really isn’t much to work with. Fanworks and fandoms thrive on what fans can create based on the canon work, not just sticking to it perfectly.

It’s fine if you think the “fanon” Daisy outshines the “canon” Daisy and you dislike that. But to say that she has no personality aside from fanon interpretations just tells me that you have a very narrow idea of what counts as “canon” in an already rather simplistic world. The Mario games are very simple and straightforward without much consistent lore that actually makes sense cohesively, but the characters are what keep everything tied together despite that. The characters are nearly always consistent, and that includes Daisy. Even when the setting is completely different and some random new villain shows up with some random new power source to steal or species to torment, our same well-known lovable characters will be the center of the story and that’s what makes it fun!

#devin speaks #super mario bros #princess daisy #i mightve gotten a bit too personal with my views of canon vs fanon but i still think it needs to be said #people who argue over what is considered canon in a video game series are so funny to me #especially a series like mario that has expanded soooo far from its original premise #its different than a show or movie since most shows will finish their main story before delving into spinoffs #most of the mainline games are literally just bowser kidnapped the princess and mario has to save her #very few of them offer any insight to personality of anyone #that isn’t to say theres none at all but i still think the party kart and sports games offer waaay more #of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions and if you dislike daisy or think shes boring then whatever you do you #i am simply sharing my opinion as well :) #sorry time to be salty real quick #literally the entirety of waluigis personality comes from the spin offs but no one talks about him??? #he is literally in the same boat as daisy but i never see anyone saying they dislike him for his ‘fanon personality’ #really makes you think #people rag on peach for ‘having no personality’ too but hers shines through the spinoffs as well #and even the rpgs!! shes actually in those and has multiple voicelines and cutscenes and people *still* say she has no personality! #i know this is about daisy but gosh mario ladies in general are treated rather poorly unless theyre eye candy #im glad rosie debuted in a mainline game with a clearly given backstory spoon fed to the player so she doesnt get this treatment lol

Minor spoilers for a cutscene in Mario + Rabbids DLC The Last Spark Hunter :

Obsessed with the way Peach is looking at Bowser here. IT’S SO SOFT ! SHE KNOWS UNDERNEATH ALL THE RAGE AND STUBBORNNESS IS A SOFTIE WHO JUST WANTS TO BE LOVED !

No but seriously, this is probably one of the softest gazes Peach has ever given to anyone, and the fact that it’s for Bowser of all people makes it both adorable and hilarious. Either Peach is literally the kindest most forgiving soul out there, or Bowser really isn’t as bad with her as he pretends to be despite his despicable actions. Or both.

Guys it’s been a long time since I posted and even longer since I’ve been in a game

You think I should be in my own Mario spinoff am I right guys? If they were ever to make that what do you think the title would be and what would the story be? Also would it just be me or would my siblings be in it as well. 🤔🤔🤔 also I am very excited for Princess Peach Showtime. Final mom gets her own game for the second time!!!!

K so like I Don’t tend to make posts about the daily goings in my life but today is special and I am not going to shut up about anything ever so. Mario Movie. Today. Clearly. And yours truly is going to see it not once but twice this week. And he is going to ascend

For context, I have been fixating heavily (to the point where, if it turns out I am autistic [i am not allowed to be diagnosed], it could easily be a special interest) on Super Mario since i was 7. I am 20. This has been well over half my life. And Ive seen both the OVA(The Great Mission to Reacue Princess Peach), as well as the 1993 live action film. Ive seen all the cartoons, and I have read the Nintendo Power comics. I have seen my guys adapted so many times but this one truly excites me? Like I was d r e a d i n g the first trailer. Then. I watched it and lowkey ascended. Rewatched it so much. I am…too excited for this film. Sure I. Have my one qualm with it but At this point I don’t care. It’s gonna be fun. And im gonna be trying not to scream in a theater.

i realize I am probably not? Seen as a Mario blog but deep down that’s what I am. This is my favorite franchise in any piece of media. Over my favorite cartoons, over my favorite youtube series, Mario is my #1. So in the upcoming days I’m gon be screaming. Not gon apologize for the person I become due to this movie.

and yes. I will tag spoilers

#Germtalks #Germ talks #Mario movie #not art #super mario #i feel like so many people here dont realize how important this franchise isnto me #I dont just enjoy it #Im like. I csnt explain it #I know more about this franchise than i should #I own a good chunk of the games.

Am I the only one who thinks Chris Pratt's voice was fine? It's not the best, not by a long shot, but it's also not the worst thing ever. It stands out a bit but it's not something that breaks the immersion, at least not for me.

I feel like it's better for him to attempt to do a similar accent to the Super Show rather than attempt to do a classic Charles Martinet Mario voice.

Would I rather have a different voice actor like Charles Martinet? yea absolutely. but for a movie that everyone believed was going to be complete garbage, its actually pretty good looking

#i dont like chris pratt #but i would like this movie to do well #if only to get a luigis mansion spinoff #also if Charles Martinet did the voice he'd have to tone down the accent #because that classic mario voice would get a bit annoying to listen to after nearly 2 hours #super mario #mario movie #mario bros #nintendo

Interesting to think that in the 2 most iconic platformer franchises:

One has had 1 (small, unambitious*) game with a female character as the lead, and 3 or 4 mainline** games with a playable female character. And in all the others the main objective is saving the same female character.

The other has had 9 mainline** games with a playable female character in the main campaign. Of those, only 3 or 4 have more than one playable female character. None of them got a game to call their own.

*"unambitious" meaning that the game doesn't seem to have been created with the same love, attention and even budget than the main mario games, or NSMB, or the Mario & Luigi games, etc.

**"mainline" in this case means the platformers and the rpg/s, not the racing and party and sports and mobile games.

#not to forget about how the only character of color in mario is Daisy to my knowledge #and she has been tremendously whitewashed #super mario bros #sonic #sonic hasnt had playable characters other than sonic in over a decade to be fair #and its not like the franchise got that many spinoffs #only a Tails game and a Shadow game #although within the games the female characters often don't get much to do #at least compared to the male characters

Super Princess Saga

Just a quick sketch just because.

Synopsis: (from an earlier post)

After getting kidnapped so many times, Princess Peach along with Princess Daisy decide to go on a vacation to a remote island near Sarasaland, far far away from the mushroom kingdom. Little do they know, a dark force seeks to conquer the island. Together, with an unexpected encounter with Rosalina, the princesses must work together in order to save the island and bring peace back to it.

Gameplay:

Essentially similar to how the Mario and Luigi worked- a turn based RPG while also and adventure game. This includes collecting items, buying gear and costumes, solving in-world puzzles, and leveling up.

(Not a real game. Nintendo, take notes)

the fact that in the original manual for super mario bros its stated that peach knows how to use magic is something i think about all the time

#le talking tag #such a cool detail that was dropped bc it was from so early in the franchise's history!! #i think she uses magic once in the beginning of bowsers inside story but never again #maybe shes using it in spinoffs like mario tennis or golf for the special moves n stuff but i kinda doubt thats what theyre going for #although. i am incorporating her super strike from strikers charged as just a thing she can do into my belief system #bc her super strike is cool as fuck
