Why even play any /vr/ console that doesn't have mario, seriously.

so this is the power of PCE's sound chip

I kind of makes me feel good knowing that there are edgelords out there that get triggered by Mario of all things

Re-read your sentence and realize it doesn't make sense.

>that one friend you have who pronounces it "mary-o"

>>3723405
I'm just tired of him. It's been 30 years and the series has stagnated to such a point they should just retire it now since their either refuse to do anything new with it or just plain don't know what to do. Even Disney barely uses Mickey anymore because they know he's the big draw he once was.

>>3723915
But why do you complain about it on /vr/? This isn't a place to discuss modern Mario.

>>3723915
>they should just retire Mario
>nintendo's mascot and its most profitable franchise
very clever

>>3723929
Capcom retired Mega Man.

>>3723970
That's why the're in the shitter

>>3723929

The only reason to retire Mario is when Shiggy dies, so they can finally make a Mario's Son.

>>3723929
>Nintendo's most profitable franchise
Debatable.

>>3723970
Capcom retired Mega Man because they honestly didn't know how to improve or transition the concept. I mean, yes, 9 and 10 exist and they were fun, but they're just the same fundamentals applied to new level designs. I'm not saying that's bad, it's why people still eat up New Super Mario Bros. even if it's just new level designs with barely any additions. But Mario, on the other hand, has gone through several transitory phases in order to keep with the times, from collect-a-thons, to collect-a-thon and linear 3D platformer mixtures, to now a pretty streamlined linear 3D platformer approach. Mega Man went 3D with Legends and then just... didn't.

>forgetting the ten gorzillion Mega Man RPGs

ive had a soft spot for mary ever since i was a bab, i have the mario fever

>>3723341

Fuck I miss the red overalls and the captain crunch smile.

>>3723970
Doesn't Monster Hunter and Street Fighter get more profit?

>>3723341
muh sorry state of this trainwreck of a board

/vr/ is fine bar shitposters like yourself and op

Daily reminder that Mario and Luigi are workmen from Brooklyn; that Mario was a carpenter first (DK), tried and failed to become a showman/wild animal tamer (DKJr), went into business with his brother Luigi first as demolitionists (Wrecking Crew) and then as plumbers (Mario Bros.) where they found a koopa-infestation and a warm-up zone to the Mushroom Kingdom. Their adventures in that realm (SMB), Subcon (SMB2), the greater Mushroom World (SMB3), and Dinosaur Land (SMW) are canon; everything else is AU.

> warm-up
auto corrected "warp", natch

>>3725404
>the greater mushroom world

wasn't all that a theatre play?

>>3724863
What, Battle Network? That ain't 3D, yo.

>>3725427
My headcanon is that the theatre play was based on actual events.

But, then again, it could be a reimagining of SMB1.

>>3725404
The American dream

>>3725427
>>3725693

SMB 3 is a play about something that actually happened. Why else would the Koopalings show up in later games?

And while I'm at it, SMB2 Wasn't just a fucking dream, did anybody even read the prologue?

Mario dreamed up what happened in SMB2, and then woke up, took his friends to a cave where he heard a cry for help, and then he saw exactly what he saw in his dream.

That bit with him waking up at the end of the game is just a nod to the prologue, you literally played the Dream about the adventure Mario was going to have the next day.

>>3725404

Plumbers from "the Real World", Brooklyn >>>>>> "Star children" that got dropped into the mushroom kingdom by the stork, and never do any actual blue collar work.

American Mario canon is the only one that matters, and captain Lou is the only good voice Mario has ever had.

>>3725427
This picture disgusts me

>Princess looks like Hillary
>Mario looks like typical numale

SMB3 > SMW > SMB1 > SML2 > SMB2 > SML

YI and SM64 are not proper Mario games.

>>3725693
SMB1 is the story of Mario's Mesopotamian ancestor fighting Bowser's ancestor for the first time.

>>3723865
alot of irish and uk people like to pronouce it as "Marry-oh"

It's a neverending loop of the same dream over and over.

It's pronounced "Muh Rio" OP

>>3726990
I pronounce it Ma (as in Piccolo Dai MA ou), Ri (as in valkyRIa) and O as in BANGAI-O.

It would be nice if they stopped parading around his corpse and actually did something creative with him.

>>3729036
They really need to revive the X series.
