Re: Today's The Big Day - Happy 35th Anniversary, Mario!

D-Star92

Mario's the reason why I'm a gamer in the first place! The very first time I played the first Super Mario Bros., it was via Super Mario All-Stars on the SNES and I was around 4 at that time. (Come to think of it, SMAS was likely the first game I ever played.)

Super Mario is by far my favorite video game series of all time, with masterpieces like Super Mario World, Super Mario Galaxy, and many others to name just a few. If it weren't for the creation of SMB, gaming just wouldn't be the same now, would it? Looking forward to Mario's next adventure, whenever that may be!

Happy 35th Anniversary, Super Mario Bros.! Keep on being awesome, Mario.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 15th)

Gonna be playing some more of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I'm gonna work on my island a little more, and if I'm lucky enough I can get some new fish/bugs for the museum. I'll also play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, there are those tournaments going on that Nintendo's hosting this weekend. (For NA, anyway)

Re: Super Mario Sunshine Is Now 18 Years Old

Not my favorite 3D Mario, but I liked my time with it overall. Some of the Shine Sprites and Blue Coins are obnoxiously hard to get, though.

I'd love to see this game get the remaster treatment the same way Wind Waker did.

Re: Feature: The Complete History Of Paper Mario

D-Star92

I've played most of the Paper Mario games. I adore TTYD, like many people. I also enjoyed the N64 original and Super Paper Mario, even if the latter was completely different from the first two.

I already talked about how I hate, hate, hate, hate, HATE Sticker Star multiple times here at NL - I ended up skipping Color Splash as a result. I did get Origami King recently, as it still looked miles better than SS, despite it not being quite like PM1 and TTYD. So I'll be playing that and then I'll judge the game for myself.

Re: Talking Point: ARMS Turns 3 And Deserves More Love Than Ever

D-Star92

Never got the game but I did play the global testpunch a few times. It was pretty fun for a while, but I guess it didn't quite click with me the same way that, say, Smash Bros. did. Would've been cool if there was a story mode like others mentioned - I kinda wish there was a bit more to it.

Re: Poll: Which Remastered Mario Games Would You Pick For A 'Super Mario All-Stars 2'?

D-Star92

I'd want Super Mario 64, Sunshine, Galaxy, and Galaxy 2 - Super Mario 3D All-Stars, if you will. All the extras from SM64 DS would be welcome, but I'd still be happy with just the N64 original being remade along with the others I've mentioned.

I won't mind seeing a compilation of NSMB 1, Wii, and 2 (the latter of which having all the Coin Rush DLC levels), as well as a Super Mario 3D World port to Switch. It'd also be cool to see Super Mario Land 1 and 2 have the same treatment as the Link's Awakening remake.

Re: Have Yourself A Wonderful MAR10 Day!

D-Star92

To celebrate my favorite Nintendo hero of all time, I think I'll play some Super Mario Maker 2 and/or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tonight. Happy Mario Day, everyone!

@IronMan30 Wow, your son's lucky! Tell him that one of Nintendo Life's biggest Mario fans wish him a super-happy birthday.
