Fun Thread: SMRPG Facts

GURU ANT · 07-27-2006, 11:41 AM

Dear community, in these past days, I have decided to myself, that in order to keep myself occupied in Summer's closing, I shall begin another file of Super Mario RPG. This time around, I have decided to share the oddities of this game and world to you.

Here are a few.

The Toad guarding the Mushroom Kingdom's entrance can't possibly carry around a bazooka, it's more than twice his body size.

The Shysters are definetly not shy.

You get more money selling the damn wallet than you do returning it.

Gaz is a trouble-some child, he's also very slow.

You begin to wonder about the origins of the Geno doll.

Bruce Lee must be pretty damn famous to be known in a different universe.

Bowyer resembles a 1st grade child's play-doh creation, he also speaks Yoda, and is the only character in the game incapable of moving his legs independently.

Moleville is either Mario Land's south, or its ghetto.

Booster has a mixture of ADD and mental retardation.

Booster and Wario look as if they could be related.

This game brought Mario's vow of silence on in a new light

Mario is a great Method Actor

Punchenello was created because a boss was needed, there is no other boss in the game that has that bad of a role in the story. Minus Knife and Grate Guy.

Speaking of which, where the hell did they come from?

That's all I can think of for now. I'm on the Pipe Vault or whatever right now, so as I go farther along, more things will probably pop in. If you'd like to comment on mine, or add your own, it'd be appreciated.

If you use a Lucky Hammer to kill an enemy, you'll get a Lucky Flower, which allows you to play that Lucky Minigame at the end of the battle, in which you can unluckily lose all the EXP or coins.

If Mario gets hit by an arrow (prior to beating Bowyer), he doesn't permenantly freeze like the rest of the citizens. I guess it's because he has such an awesome hat.

Mario500 · 07-27-2006, 02:46 PM

Mallow would make a great meteorologist, as his special lightning attacks and tears are usually known in advance.

Yoshi is the only dinosaur of his kind that can speak English.

Luigi's facial expression says it all about his cameo.

Bandit · 07-27-2006, 08:33 PM

Toadstool owns a ???, which Mario is not allowed to take.

I don't remember a Luigi cameo in SMRPG...

***Ace Mercury*** · 07-28-2006, 11:49 AM

Oh, he's there. That little scamp.

DELICIOUS POISON · 07-28-2006, 11:49 AM

There isn't one.

The three best "facts" of this whole topic.

And the only Luigi "cameo" would be the band at the end, but that doesn't really count does it?

Deviot · 07-29-2006, 10:28 AM

A cameo is an appearence of a character, no matter how small it may be. Therefore, Luigi does have a cameo in this game. In fact, he's present as a cameo for Paper Mario and its sequel. Wow, he has more cameos than starring games...that sucks.

Hey, if Mario and co. have access to that spacious sub-dimension called "inventory," why can't other people?

If memory serves me correctly, Wario is on one of the pictures in Booster's Tower - or at least a striking resemblance of him. Most definitely inspired Booster's character design.

As for my oddities;

No matter how hard you try, or what you equip him with, Geno will never put on some damn pants.

No one seems to mind (Mario included) when Bowser uses the hurley gloves.

Mallow and Lupin the Third both share the ability to leap out of their clothing at will.

Minister of Silly Walks · 08-01-2006, 08:16 AM

I forgot about the parade cameo at the end, yeah.

But how does his facial expression "Say it all"?

That's called Hammerspace ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammerspace )

How can one explain the primary member walking out of mario but not the other members. I mean were are they during the time I'm playing. I never thought about these things untill know which will make it interesting to go back to. love that game.

Introbulus · 08-03-2006, 11:07 AM

Apparantly, clouds are either blind or crazy for not recognizing Prince Mallow's Imposter as such.

Birdo is at least 5 times the size of any normal human being.

Honey makes you magical.

I'm impressed Sean Kelly hasn't started bitching at you for this one.

Mallow also fell for it, which could make the Nimbians the least smart people. o_o!

Where does he keep them, anyway? Under his hat?

Minister of Silly Walks · 08-10-2006, 03:45 PM

Square really poked fun at themselves with that gag. Like when you're is Gaz's house and they all run into each other while trying to walk inside Mario, that type of thing.

Codiekitty · 08-10-2006, 03:52 PM

I thought what happened was Geno was telling Gaz TTFN, and just before Mallow and Geno went inside Mario Gaz went "OH WAIT!" and Mario stopped them.
