Mario Discussion

@archestereo  
And yet people like Eggman, Bowser, Vector, DK, etc can participate in ribbon dancing (assuming they are allow to).

@Prof.NightJack  
Still a different sport they are not wearing Football Helmets or pads.

You know what would’ve been a really cool DLC thing for Mario Kart?
 
A “Rainbow Cup”, filled with remade versions of every Rainbow Road ever, including the one already in the current game’s Special Cup and an all-new one that wasn’t in any prior game, all in chronological order in a single cup (which means it would be more than 4 courses), for the ultimate challenge.

@igotnopicks  
Still all the sports are actually a form of “football”, you said “wrong football” but he never said anything more then “football”, so he wasn’t wrong.
 
American/gridiron football  
Rugby football  
“Soccer” football.  
And there are even more

@Prof.NightJack  
Technically it’s still isn’t football. Cause it doesn’t have pads or helmets. But it’s a different sport because of that it’s Rugby. And I think Rugby has different rules to that of we know as Football.
 
But Rugby is an Olympic event so I’m not going to stretch it there. But Football isn’t an Olympic event
 
I know it is football. since football is a term played with feet.

@igotnopicks  
Dude you have it wrong, it’s the other way around, it’’s that technically they are ALL football.  
True that are not both American/gridiron football, but the thing is “football” is not just the one sport.
 
“I know it is football. since football is a term played with feet.”  
Then way are you saying it the other way around?

@Prof.NightJack  
Read the edited post again. Since I know it is football but it’s not American Football. Something that involves Mario football would require him to wear a helmet like the Chargin Chucks.

@Prof.NightJack
 
Dude, seriously. You know that thing people have said about you where they get annoyed when you get all overly-corrective over the terms people use?
 
You’re doing it again. Please stop.

@Jarkes  
I’m bummed ‘cause that was actually one of my fav’ episodes. I also fear he’s going to rage-quit again, sense so many people pester him over the SMBZ series of his, which is what made him quit in the first place.

@Beau Skunky  
I don’t think we have to worry about Alvin rage quitting. From what I have been hearing he was in college during the time. Now he has plenty of free time to continue his hobby since he finished his classes (assuming if Alvin really is done with college).

Serious question; why do so many fans wants to so badly stick with the whole, “the Koopalings are Bowser’s children”, argument despite the fact Miyamoto said differently?
 
Also, I believe there may be a strong theroy that it wasn’t his original intentions to begin with.

@SuperDEF  
Same reason people have problems with new takes on older franchises.  
“MY CHILDHOOD/NOSTALGIA!!”

@Prof.NightJack  
Ah, so its the common “Blind Nostalgic” syndrome; a viral sickness only caused by not adapting to change and denial. Should had figured.

@SuperDEF  
At lest most of what I have seen when people talk about why they want them to be his kids over just high ranking members of Koopa Troop.  
Me I happen to think it makes sense when you look back at the stuff in game, not the SMB3 booklet or cartoon, it just seems like they are another part of the army.  
Also I used to not like the term “Koopalings” for their group title as i thought it sounded odd for a term for Bowser’s kids when it just sounds like what one would call any young koopas, now I see it as being Koopa(sib)lings.

@Prof.NightJack  
I’m pretty much the same. I always did thought Bowser having children that came from nowhere with no real explanation was a bit unusual. It was just easier to say they are just his high ranking generals, and also the fact they barely resemble Bowser at all.
 
Still kinda iffy on Miyamoto’s answer about who Bowser Jr’s mother when he pointed at himself. He could had easily made a statement that Jr was delievered by the Stork when he was a baby, just like every other Mario Character prior to Yoshi’s Island series…unless he supposedly forgotten about that game…

@SuperDEF  
I kind of wonder if Miyamoto said that as a joke and he likely does remember the stork thing, after all as far as we know it was Kamek that was was in the parent role for Bowser, yet no one ask anything about that.

@Prof.NightJack  
I think Kamek is basically Bowser’s nanny.
 
But I think Bowser Jr. being the only thing related to Bowser is cool. While the Koopalings are his children without being related.

@igotnopicks  
So what, the Koopalings are adopted or somthing?

@igotnopicks
 
You mean like the Koopalings being honorary children or something? I can get behind that.

@Jarkes  
Maybe the Koopalings got disowned by their parents (Morton Koopa Sr and the mother) for being way too troublesome to deal with. At some point Bowser crossed paths with them on the streets, saw they may have some potential usages and took them in, as long as they work under his commands they’ll eat and sleep well.

@SuperDEF  
And get beat up by Mario. EVERYBODY WINS.

Ah yes, Mario games. My faves are World and 64 probably. Not really sure what else to add, I’m kind of intimidated by all the arguments in this thread.

@SuperDEF  

 
My theory is that making Bowser Jr. the only “real” child gives an air or “Creator’s Pet”. People already hate Bowser Jr. for being a replacement scrappy for the Koopalings in the first place, so this just makes people hate him more.

@Background Pony #926D  
>People already hate Bowser Jr. for being a replacement scrappy for the Koopalings in the first place,  
No, that’s the same people that cling to the idea of the Koopalings as Bowser’s kids in the first place, I have never seen anyone with that attitude about Jr. that didn’t also want to keep the Koopalings as Bowser’s kids and do not understand what was rally going on.  
And also Jr. isn’t a replacement scrappy becouse 1-he’s not a scrappy and 2- the Koopalings where not removed, hell they got more appearances along side Jr. and you don’t keep a (non-)scrappy and the who they replace at the same time.

I don’t really hate Browser Jr. I hate more how the Koopalings are completely underutilized and seem to not seem that important anymore.
