First game doesn't even have a "monster design", it's just mushrooms with eyes and turtles.

To be fair, Clawgrip was a hasty replacement for what was originally a third Mouser battle.

Clawgrip is cool. He's a giant enemy crab that throws boulders at you. What is not to like?

I'd like to see more SMB2 stuff other than Shy Guys and the occasional Birdo appearance. Mouser, Wart, and the snake would be cool as spinoff roster fodder, enemies like Sniffits Ninjis and Phantos are pretty cool and different from the standard Mario baddies, and the Subcon setting in general would be cool to see more. Plus the music is great and could stand to be reused more.

Japan doesn't view it as a "real" Mario game and with Shiggy's authoritarian iron grip on the series we won't be seeing more experimental stuff until he retires from life.

This bomb-throwing mouse was one of the best designs of the game, in a good way. The only enemy with a more fun and interesting design in SMB 1 and 3 was the Koopa because of its inventiveness on its KO'd state and what the game does with it.

Interesing Mario 2 fact. As some of you may know, Wart is called Mamu in Japanese. But in the GBA remake of the game there is English voice acting, in which the character says "I am the great Wart!" including in the Japanese version. I'm wondering how many people from the Japanese audience were confused by this moment, assuming they understood the line.

>Japan doesn't view it as a "real" Mario game
Why do people say this? Bro, it's officially called Mario USA in Japan and has appeared in spin-off an mainline media in Japan since release. Even Mario World and Mario 64 used enemies from it and that's as "Real Mario™" as it gets.

Miyamoto doesn't have nearly as much control over Mario or any other Nintendo property as you think. He hasn't directed a game since Super Mario 64, and in the past decade, he's been gradually moving away from his usual producer roles, as well.

I thought he was responsible for making all the toads look the same in the Switch/3DS Paper Marios.

>> No.8071449

>>8071346
No, that's because Kensuke Tanabe, the current producer of the Paper Mario series, barely played any mainline Mario games past the NES and thinks Toads are Mario's only allies.
