What does a Toad eat at 3:78 on Wednsday noon?

Metal Mario · 12-13-2009, 06:52 PM

You're assuming he'd be hungry at that time.

If Princess Peach was kidnapped, where would Kirby be sleeping?

Metal Mario · 12-13-2009, 08:08 PM

I said the Mario universe, not the Kirby universe.

Also, according to Mario Wiki, Kirby is part of the Mario Universe, linked through Super Smash Brothers.

Doesn't count. Smash Bros. isn't a "Mario" specific game.

MeowMan · 12-13-2009, 08:52 PM

Either are the Donkey Kong or Wario series, but everyone on here counts them.

Luigiman7 · 12-13-2009, 09:07 PM

Because they were originally Mario characters. Kirby wasn't.

Metal Mario · 12-13-2009, 09:25 PM

That's right. Even if a game doesn't actually feature an appearance by Mario himself, it falls under the banner of the Mario Universe if it stars Yoshi, Wario, or any of the Kongs. All of those characters stemmed from Mario.

Kirby, however, did not stem from Mario.

And, not only that, but that ain't the real Mario (or anyone else) in Smash Bros., anyway.

I thought the Tanooki Suit looked interesting, but I always used it the same way as I did the magic leaf. Never found Mario's statue form to be all that useful. The Thwomp Stomp is news to me though. I'm gonna try that out sometime.
As I kid, I thought it was some kind of bear. Turns out, it's a raccoon-like creature known for having big balls. Glad that last part's not in the game.

I remember I thought as well it looked like some sort of teddy bear when I first saw it, although then it had the raccoon tail so it was confusing, but I just thought it was weird but not worth losing sleep over. Honestly I think many American children has no idea what a Tanuki was at the time, its certainly more of a Japanese folklore reference. It may have been the same in reverse if possibly something strictly U.S., like Native American lore or Bigfoot was used instead may have confused the Japanese audience in its origin.

Still the Tanooki suit was always a lot of fun, its just too bad, like the Hammer Bros. Suit, and many of the cooler power-ups, its quite rare and only makes a select handful of appearences in the game itself.
