Line 229:
** On a similar note, why the heck did the haunted mansion keep returning then in the future games, and was referred to as Luigi's? I've seen his new mansion just once and the haunted mansion has been in Mario Kart Double Dash, DS, Mario Power Tennis, Mario Basketball, Mario Super Sluggers and probably numerous other games. I guess he really can't escape the constantly reappearing haunted house from Luigi's Mansion, heh.
*** The one in Double Dash is the non-haunted mansion.
*** Both appear, the one on Luigi Circuit is the non haunted mansion, but there's a battle arena based on the haunted version of the mansion. See [http://www.mariowiki.com/Image:MKDD_Luigi%27sMansion.jpg this picture from Mario Wiki]{{Dead link}} to see what I mean:
**** Maybe Luigi ended up making peace with the ghosts after he got rid of King Boo and they use it (and redecorate it as well) when he's not around.
* What's up with Geno's real name, "''??!?''"? He's a Star Spirit, right? Well, in Paper Mario, we meet other star spirits, and get eight names- most all of which are star puns of some sort, and all of which are pronounceable by human tongues. So, did ??!?'s parents hate him a ''lot'', was he just messing with Mario, or were Twink and co. using pronounceable aliases in Paper Mario?
Line 311:
** Well, there was this little magazine called Nintendo Power... ;) But the point still stands.
** I know what you mean. If you thought that was annoying, just see the sheer amount of fan games and [[Game Mods]] based solely on [[Super Mario Bros 3]]. Oh, and this guy online agrees with you:
*** [https://web.archive.org/web/20100121033947/http://www.waluigious.com/2008/09/in-which-i-admit.html Waluigious and Super Mario Bros 3]
**** The same reason everyone says Megaman 2 is the best or Super Metroid is the best. Part of it is nostalgia because they grew up with it and the other part is no other game managing to replicate the same feeling. Granted, this troper thinks World and 64 were on par with ''[[Super Mario Bros 3]]'', but feels that they were doing different things. SMB3 is about all the fun items you had at your disposal, SMW was about finding every little secret on the map and SM64 was about exploring a bigass level. But any self-respecting Mario fan would understand and accept exactly why SMB3 is considered the best of the franchise by the fanbase, even if they didn't agree.
***** Actually, bringing up Mega Man 2 and Super Metroid may provide an even simpler reason: each game is an [[Even Better Sequel]] of the flagship game, even if not the first such game (SMB2, Metroid 2). The distinction is so large that it stands out in the minds of players. Later games may be even better, but with more possibilities to compare to, they can't replicate that stand-out aura.
