Has there EVER been a Mario game (not counting Party/sports and similar spin-offs) in which Peach doesn't get kidnapped by someone or something? ...I'm not sure if Mario & Luigi counts.

[Solar]

It wasn't really a Mario game and it was also a dream, so doesn't really count.

[Kit]

Mario Land.

Substitute Peach for Daisy, though.

AWW YEAH.
But I don't want this HI IM DAISY [parasitic bomb].
Gimme long haired Daisy with deeper sexy voice and we have a deal.

[Solar]

I'm refering to the fact that 2 USA is just Doki Doki Panic in disguise >_>

[Acid]

I liked Doki Doki Mario. How come so many people hate it?

[Solar]

It gets a lot of hate? I've never seen it.

[HyperSonicEXE]

It gets some for being so out there (primarily because it's actually some other game), and for difficulty.

I kinda get the first, though I personally don't care. Actually, I think the locales fit the Mario formula fairly well.
And as for the latter, yeah, World 6 sucks, but that's about it. And 6-3's got a shortcut, although 6-1 is the main problem. The rest of the game? Eh, just throw the key down when Phanto gets close, and squat-jump through 4-2. Not that big a deal, otherwise.

People find it difficult? That's interesting.
But yeah World 6 sucks...which one is that again? <__<

SMB2USA discussion? All I'll say is Nintendo should revisit that formula one more time. Maybe a New! Super Mario Bros. 2 would be good for it?

Also, I think I've found my new favorite piece of Nintendo promo art ever:

Yeah that's pretty [tornado fang]ing sweet right there.

Also, I love Super Mario Bros. 2.  I mean, that's the origin of Luigi Blew It.

Now, I look and listen for specific things when watching these, and the most IMPORTANT thing I heard was a SMG version of the Athletic Theme from SMW, when riding Yoshi (around when Yoshi gets the Dash Pepper).

PB is VERY happy!

[Jericho]

I forgot to post that here the last time I watched the footage. Speaking of speedy Yoshi, Sonic can work in 3D confirmed.

[Protoman Blues]

Shame on you for not posting that sooner, Jelly!  That theme is SO important.  I mean, it's so much fun to Brawl too as well!

Mirby is ecstatic! Classic music, classic world themes (SM64 repeated the large-small theme with Tiny-Huge Island), this might just be the best Mario game yet!

To be honest.  I have no problems if Sonic being playable in SMG2 being true.  Mainly because if Nintendo does it right (and they probably will), I want to see the reaction of the Sonic Fanbase.  Must be a nice storm to witness~

[HokutoNoBen]

It wasn't really a Mario game and it was also a dream, so doesn't really count.

Semantics not withstanding, the fact still remains that, in the end, Miyamoto himself was more involved with DDP (and then it's "make over" 2/USA) than he ever was with 2/JP/Lost Levels (which he wasn't at all). In fact, I believe in one interview many moons ago, he went on to say that he considered it the "real" Mario sequel more than the one that Japanese got.

Hell, for the most part, most Japanese players today know the game by it being "USA" than from its DDP origins. A sign of the times, I say.

While a possibly nice thing to think of...I still dunno.

I mean, at this point, I would have rather EAD invested the time in an actual, true to life "Mario + Sonic" platformer, than for just them to shoe-horn Sonic into a designated Mario game. And just the opposite is also true; I don't want to see Mario in a Sonic game either. So, I'm hoping those rumors don't pan out, and instead hint at possibly something else entirely...

[Hypershell]

Galaxy 2 is looking frikkin' sweet.  I'm still curious as to how exactly Yoshi will be handled, whether there will be specific "Yoshi segments" or if he'll be the optional-yet-forever-useful companion that he was in World.  I really, really would prefer the latter seeings how I don't like my main dino being segregated from significant portions of the game (Sunshine, NSMBWii, and to a far lesser extent 64DS), but we'll see.

And loving that promo art.

To say nothing of the constant recurrence of Bob-ombs, Shy Guys, and Birdo.  Also Peach's attributes in Smash.

[Mirby]

And Snifits too!

[Hypershell]

Snifits are somewhat less common, but good point.

But I don't want this HI IM DAISY [parasitic bomb].

To hell with that, HI I'M DAISY is awesome.

If you want a long-haired deep-voiced princess, go with Rosalina.

[Mirby]

They're prevalent in Booster's Tower in SMRPG.

If you want a long-haired deep-voiced emo-haired princess, go with Rosalina.

Fix'd.

Actually, anyone got that pic of Rosalina getting hit in the head by a ball?

[Bag of Magic Food]

And Snifits too!

And Pokey!

[Acid]

And Wart.

Who showed up in Link's Awakening later.

[Mirby]

True. Forgot about Wart.

And in a Metroid hack I downloaded yesterday.

[Align]

And Wart.

Who showed up in Link's Awakening later.

...As a ROCKSTAR!

If the fireflower in SMG1 is any indication, we're all [tornado fang]'d when it comes to Yoshi.

Then again, there was that cool upward ascending spin jump Mario & Yoshi could do in Sunshine...
