Super Mario (franchise)/Fridge: Difference between revisions

* Wario's [[Gasshole|Gassholery]] may not be his defining character trait, but it does add a layer of significance to his rivalry with Mario, a plumber.- [[Candy Entrails]].

* ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' (the USA version we got) is notable for being the only main Mario platformer where the [[Goomba Stomp]] proves to no significant effect. The events of the game take place in Sub-Con, a world corrupted by nightmares. Being in a world where Mario's [[Goomba Stomp|trademark attack]] does not hurt enemies makes this more of a nightmare for him, would it not? - [[Mr Yoshbert]]

* In both Galaxy games, I've often wondered why Thwomps and Whomps kill you instantly when they didn't in 64. Then, it hit me; They did 3 damage to Mario's 8-part health meter in 64, but in the Galaxy games, you only HAVE 3 units of health. - [[Oath To Oblivion]]

* In most recent games it always seems like Luigi's more eager to announce his name than Mario. It seems a bit egotistical, until you see the fact that Bowser and even Princess Peach can't seem to remember his name. Poor guy. - [[Kashima Kitty]]

* Wondering about it, this troper finally understood why did Bowser kept a button (or in the old games, an axe) into the room which we fight him (or his kids, or a fake, or whatever) to destroy the room's bridge in the 2D games. He keeps it because if he needs to run, he destroys the bridge and open the back door with the key that he usually carries-on and drops upon death. Why doesn't he makes it after fighting Mario? It must be because he usually is in World 8: there is nowhere else he could run. Mario destroyed all his castles. Or he is just dumb, or won't accept a loss to a plumber with a mustache. - [[Tropers/Victin|Victin]]

Bowser has only ever lost a fight with Mario due to the environment. Mario has never beat him in hand-to-hand combat. It's more likely that he includes the switches on purpose to give Mario an opportunity to beat him because he... wants to lose I guess...

** Then what about Birdo? She debuted in Super Mario Brothers 2 as well!

* In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', there are 120 stars to collect. When you collect all of them, Bowser laments at the fact that he missed the 15 secret stars. In [[SM 64 DS]], there are 150 stars, 30 of which are secret stars. Once you collect all 150, Bowser again laments at the fact that he missed the secret stars. Therefore Bowser managed to find and steal 120 stars the second time around, just like Mario told him in the original game! Too bad for Bowser that there were even ''more'' stars that he couldn't find!
