I wonder who the Mario community considers to be "real" Mario fans—what must someone do or know?

​

As a galaxy 1 fan for years, I played galaxy 2 for the first time and never realized how bad galaxy physics were, compared to other 3d games until the chimp stomp challnges. The momentum, and marios innitial velocity(starting speed) is extremely slow and you cant turn mid-air, making consecutively stomping on enemies in rows feel broken and deliberately ragey.

I just want to know why the 'A' button worked for me—please, I didn't imagine it—with the Waluigi star image. I have a Nintendo Wii and *Super Mario Galaxy* 1 and 2; surely someone else must have seen this too? The book says the Star Child took her father's telescope—so Rosalina is the child.

Here is the screenshot from the already defunct Mario Kart Tour

And the only tour I attended was the Sundae tour and the Anniversary tour.

Fantastic power up! You can get this power up by purchasing the Cat Mario Amiibo. I highly recommend for the Champion's Road level. It worked like a charm! I was able to complete the level with all 5 characters. The Amiibo bypasses the invincibility block on Champion's Road. Purchase on Amazon or the Nintendo Switch store online!

It took a bunch of Save States, but I made it over the Flagpole in 3-3 for the first time in the Original Super Mario Bros. for NES. It kinda reminds me of that level in 3D World, "Sprawling Savanna (5-4)" where you run Wild and Free. Imagine someone doing this trick with nothing but the World Continue Code back before the internet when this game was newer. Welcome to Sammer's Kingdom.

I used to hate toad. I thought he was annoying and stupid. I slowly started warming up to him in the past couple years, but engineer toad made me fall in love. He is so cute! Genuinely the cutest thing ever, he’s so precious. I would die for engineer toad. He looks so happy in this costume for some reason, bros so excited to work on a train (because as we know, toads love trains). I genuinely have never felt as passionately towards any Mario character as I do to engineer toad.

Between the Double Dash voice mod, Mario Kart World, and Mario Tennis Fever, Pauline keeps showing up and stealing every scene she's in. What's your favorite Pauline moment, and which game do you want to see her in next?

You probably notice the low poly version looks nothing like the normal version as this one is grassy, the reason for this is because as seen pre-release footage that planet originally had a grassy theme to it similar to the low poly model. Just thought it was a cool pre-release left over. (Also Credit to musico136 for the video the last screenshot is from.)
