@Sunsy Happy late birthday! Sorry I missed that bit.
@MarioLover92 Thanks! I do hope it's worth it to see Mario & pals since the reviews and feedback seem mixed...though trending towards the positive IMO. It's an Illumination film, probably not movie of the year material but a fun watch I'm sure. I have some Easter stuff ready, but not everything for the day of. My haunt group is doing an Easter egg hunt for the community tomorrow, so that's my Saturday afternoon sorted. I'm skipping out on the haunted house bit since I'd be up very late for that, and I have an early morning Sunday.
It is SO easy for me to fall off of Rainbow Road, though that N64 course is definitely the most difficult version in MK8D IMO. The game seems fairly unforgiving in general if you fall, depending on the course. And I've had an instance or two where I felt something counted as a "fall" when it really shouldn't have. Rainbow Road on MK Wii was one of two tracks I tried at a party once. I had no experience with the series before that point, and it was a brutal one. "Warm-up" indeed....
TBH, my experience with Pikmin 3 on the Wii U was so middling that I'd apparently bricked out Pikmin 4 from my brain; I forgot that one is coming too. I might try it one day...if I can find it cheap. I'd totally be on board with another new Mario title...but I can afford to wait a little while now. Especially since I'm now revisiting Super Mario Galaxy through Super Mario 3D All-Stars as of yesterday evening.
@nomither6
Twilight Princess and Mario Kart Wii are some of the best in their series. Mario Bros Wii was received pretty well, people just lump it and the DS game in as bad since the series was so overused.
Currently playing: Pokemon Soul Silver, Mario RPG

@MarioLover92@Zuljaras@Tyranexx Thanks for the birthday wishes. Day was great. Got to see the Mario movie and Trolls trailer (posted my thoughts in the Mario movie thread for those curious, loved the movie). Had cake at my friend's place and got some gifts including some Trolls and Alice's Wonderland Bakery stuff, and Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3.
Later going to chat with another friend who saw the Mario movie and play some Mortal Kombat X. Great day overall.
@Sunsy It's amazing what all gets rearranged when moving. I've been in my current place for eight years, and it took me a bit to unearth everything after moving in lol. I wonder if a real life Powerwash Simulator type of setup would have water Pokemon prizes? XD
Indeed, and finding all the stuff that you forgot you had too, or even lost. That would be an awesome idea. XD
Thanks! The only other Game Gear game I got from the eShop was Tails Adventure. I do have Shining Force CD on my Genesis Mini 2, which IIRC, is a remake of the Shining Force Gaiden games on the Game Gear. I have the Master System versions of Sonic 1 and Chaos, but not Sonic 2. Mainly because I remember the Game Gear version of Sonic 2 got difficult very quickly... I never beat the first boss. Kinda wish I got the SMS version because of the higher screen resolution.
That's awesome, I hope you enjoy the Mario movie! I actually saw it yesterday when it came out, and without spoiling anything, I really liked it. Before the movie started, I did see a trailer for that Trolls movie and I thought of you. Happy early birthday, by the way! I like your new profile pic. Looks like you're doing the same thing I did when it was my birthday, with my profile pic being Mario celebrating at Peach's Birthday Cake.
That's cool, no judgment there. I do remember liking that game, even though the controls were a bit complex. Perhaps we could play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online this weekend since the Mario movie came out recently!
Ohhh, gotcha. That's cool you liked that Chip 'n Dale movie, so that combines CG animation and live-action, I think? I think you're right on Talespin being part of the Disney Afternoon. Have you ever seen Gargoyles? That's another one I remember seeing on the Disney Channel back in the day. It has quite a darker style compared to most other things that Disney has made.
All right great! Take your time and do let me know what you think of my Animal Crossing pictures.
Edit: Just wanted to add that we could play Super Mario 3D World together, as well. I don't think we've played that online yet!
Tails Adventure is a great one, and an underrated game too. I remember buying it back when I played Game Gear because I liked Tails a lot. It's different than a Sonic game, but it's suppose to be. It's Tails solo adventure taking place before he met Sonic, or in the US manual, Sonic and Tails go there separate ways for a vacation... yeah remember when games had different stories in the US manuals? Sonic 2 Game Gear, I never knew you had to avoid the metal balls and let it hit the enemy. Especially annoying since games trained you to jump on the enemy. Always did the level select cheat to play the other levels in that one.
Glad you liked it, it really was a good movie. It just made me like Peach a lot more. Awesome, I love you got to see it, now you know what the Trolls universe looks like, and see Poppy somewhere other than my profile pic, lol. Thanks, yeah I wanted to do that. I think I'll keep it until next week as my birthday is over after tonight.
If I'm free, sounds like a good idea, I was playing Mario Kart and Super Mario Bros 2 as Peach in anticipation for the movie today. Tonight, a friend and I are going to enjoy some Mortal Kombat X.
It does. Again, best way I can describe it, it's like a modern day Who Framed Rodger Rabbit. I think I've seen Gargoyles when I was younger a few times. I remember it wasn't my cup of tea given I was into cartoons that looked cuter (like I still am today). I do remember watching Chip N Dale and Tailspin. Funnily enough, I've only seen Ducktales here and there.
Will do when I can get around to it.
That sounds like a great idea too.
@Anti-Matter Just saw it today. At least in the US, movies usually last from a few weeks to maybe 1-2 months in a theater. Though sometimes kids/family friendly movies do come back for special events smaller theaters do after its initial run (example, the showing of Trolls World Tour I went to was a summer event a local theater did, and they showed other older kids/family movies like Shrek and Sing).
@Sunsy
I don't think my local cinema inside mall will play older movies once they have ever aired.
Usually every 1 month the previous movies will be replaced by the upcoming movies.
About Mario movie, i'm pretty sure there will be a sequel in the future after I saw the interesting thing at the end of scene.
SEGA will release Sonic 3 movie in year 2024 so I think Nintendo will do the same thing.
Too bad, I missed Sonic 2 movie, only can watch from DVD or Blu Ray disc for full movie in disc.
My reactions between Sonic 1 movie and Mario movie were different.
I was pretty chill and didn't react as much as Mario movie. From Mario movie I laughed quite a lot for the licensed songs that played during the movie (Songs from Bonnie Tyler and A-Ha) since I like both of those songs.
Also, I recognized quite a lot Easter eggs from Mario movie and put some smiles on my face.
I was surprised to see how brutal was Bowser when I saw Mario get bruised after Bowser attacked him. I have never expected something like that but it was a good choice to saturate Mario storyline that feel dry from the games version. And I really wish Nintendo will make new 3D Mario games and Mario Kart games based on the movie. It was pretty brave choice to be different than typical Mario games
@TheBigBlue Tell me about it! I am always having to monitor my back pain due to having a sit down job. I use a Chirp wheel like in the image below to manage my spine alignment.

@Anti-Matter Theaters that play older movies are the best. One of the theaters I saw that special showing of Trolls World Tour in actually shows older movies regularly alongside current ones via special events. That's how I saw the 2018 Grinch movie that way.
I think we got to wait and see to see if a sequel happens. Though, the Yoshi egg at the end seems like it's setting up something.
Yeah, the final battle was pretty dark, but it was exciting to see.
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!
Have a nice day. Voiceactor: The Pirates! (Sony/Aardman 2012) - The Passion: A Brickfilm (Neema 2019) - The Torchlighters: The Story of John Newton (Vision Video 2022) - [NEW] Minno's Laugh and Grow Bible (Minno - 2024)
@Tyranexx I think it's worth seeing, especially if you're a fan of the Super Mario series, and even Nintendo in general. It's definitely a fun watch for sure!
Yeah, N64 Rainbow Road might just be the hardest one in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The other thing I didn't mention is the bouncing chain chomps. You pretty much need to stay on the very edge when you're coming across them, so it is a bit dangerous for sure. I will also say that the entire course is totally spectacular in terms of its visuals, and might just be the best-looking course in the game. The multi-colored tile road, character-shaped fireworks, and the flying train that the Toads ride... the whole course just looks awesome! On a side note, Merry Mountain (one of the DLC courses in MK8D) looks truly fabulous, too... and its music is just perfect! <3
I remember when you mentioned you played on Rainbow Road in Mario Kart Wii... what an introduction to that game, lol. What was that other course, out of curiosity? If you don't remember, that's OK.
Sounds like a plan. I just remembered that Advance Wars is also coming out for the Switch pretty soon, as well. Though to be honest, I'm not sure when I'll get it, since I already have the GBA versions of Advance Wars 1 and 2 for the Wii U. I played a good chunk of them before getting to levels that gave me trouble. Those levels that have Fog of War are especially tough for me. Gotcha, that's fine - Super Mario Galaxy is such a masterpiece of a game, too. I thought I'd especially want the next 3D Mario game, since I'm all done with Super Mario Odyssey and Bowser's Fury. Though to be fair, there's many other games to play... and I've been finding myself playing Splatoon 3 a lot recently!
@Sunsy Glad you had a great birthday! Yeah from what I've played of Tails Adventure, I did like it. I should come back to it at some point, especially since I like Metroid games quite a lot. That's cool, you had the Game Gear way back in the day? The first time I played any Game Gear games was way back in Sonic Adventure DX. As for games having different stories across regions, I think I recall that Knuckles Chaotix had a different story in the US version. Something about Knuckles visiting Carnival Island, or something like that. For Sonic 2 on the GG, I used the level select code as well, I've done it to play through Green Hills Zone. (It's odd that it's not the first zone in the game...)
Agreed with you on the Mario movie! I'd love to get it on blu-ray when that comes out. I do like what they've done with Peach in that movie, as well. (Not gonna lie, I like playing as her in Mario Kart, too!) Yep you're totally right, I know what the Trolls universe is like now from that new trailer, lol. It does look like it's a charming movie for sure. No problem.
Yeah whenever you're free, no pressure. Sounds like a plan, have fun.
Gotcha, that's understandable. Nothing wrong with liking stuff that's more cute, there's a lot of stuff from Nintendo and Disney I'd consider cute, and I do like that stuff quite a lot. Out of all the Disney Afternoon cartoons, I think I've seen Chip 'n Dale and Goof Troop the most way back in the day. Most of the stuff I've seen from Disney were the animated movies.
