What's so great about Mario?

[UltraByte]

Mario's okay... some games like SM64 and SMS are great fun. Then there's some games like the Mario Party series that just make me wonder if Nintendo really hates the Mario series.

Personally, I think Metroid is Nintendo's brainchild... no pun intented.

Brain child...haha good one... =P

You wonder why they didn't make Zelda their first game...

One thing i've never understood is why people actually like Mario. He's just a really annoying Italian plumber that jumps about like a maniac while saying woohoo constantly, same goes for his brother, although he's even worse.

Somebody explain please.

He's very charismatic. He's a nice guy who spends his life saving Princess Peach. He doesn't sit on his computer and insult other people for the sake of being different and sounding controversial all to grab attention.

Plus, unlike you, some people weren't born in 1999, so they have grown up with him since the beginning, or around the beginning.

Edit: Metroid is not Nintendo's brainchild by any means. Mario is the flagship, and shall remain so; Pokemon is its money machine. Metroid is just a cool franchise.

Those aren't the reason Mario has fans it's because he has awesome games Super Mario Bros. for the NES literally saved the gaming industry back in the 80s.

I've kinda lost interest for Mario. Kirby is my new anti-drug!

 

[beakmanthegreat]

I agree,with resurgence, Kirby is kinda more fun... with mario your happy if you get a fire flower, with kirby,
you kill something
devour it
and use the leftover body parts to kill more enemies.

Kirbys probably the Most bad-*** character ever, lol.

But in all seriousnes, EVERY ONE OF YOU owe it to yourselves to go buy kirby superstar ultra for the DS and buy a copy for your BFF, brother, sister ,dad ,mom, crazy uncle, WHATEVER!

Because the only ay you can make that game any better is by playing it Co-Op.
And its pretty dang good only one player, too. =D

 

[dragonflamez]

Bah, I just hate Mario.
The only Mario game I like is SMS. Really. >_>

All the others were.... ehg.

Did you ever play the 2D sidescrollers? Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World?

Gotta love sidescrollers.

This.

I'll agree with anyone that the 3D mario games suck...but the side scrollers were great and they never get old. Maybe it's just because I grew up on 'em but I love them. And it's kind of upsetting that people seem to be judging Mario just by the 3D games.

Yeah, the 2d Mario-games will always be the best but there's nothing wrong with the 3d ones. They are different but not worse. Have you played Galaxy?

 

[Kyle]

He's Ron Jeremy. That's why.

 

[MygL]

You mean Mario is the 'old' type of protagonist.

 

[beehdaubs]

I have a few words to say about Mario....MAKE ANOTHER 2D MARIO GAME....and mario party sucks as the series progresses.....

 

[NikoKing]

Hmm... I can agree with you, Although I think Luigi is awesome. Mario is probably popular because he's basically Nintendo's Mascot.

Somebody explain please.

Mostly nostalgia. If you've really spent time trying to find what was wrong with Mario and came up with those exaggerations... Well, just know this, that's not all he does.

Sure, we can all have our opinions on Mario, but don't base them off those reasons. >_>"

1) I didn't spend my time trying to find out what was wrong with Mario, i'm not that sad.
2) Those aren't exaggerations, they're facts.
3) I know that's not all he does, but that's mostly what he does.
4) I can base my opinion of Mario off any reasons I please.
