I really like Wario games you know?

[TequilaClock]

ok so like, Wario is a fucking good idea, because it's just like Mario or Luigi, whatever right?

but

Wario is a bastard. And that's the whole point of it. He does things for profit, and he can be rude to anything and anyone in his way because he just wants to get money for his own personal interest.

and you know like

Mario is all "oh shit I gotta save the princess I will rescue you!" and Wario is like "oh shit look there is a lot of treasure here oh wow that's so cool, oh hey did I save your life oh cool... do I get a reward?"

and then there are also WarioWare games.

the series literally began because he was like "oh shit video games make money, I will make games I guess and i will call my friends over to do them together"

when has Mario been that down to Earth? Almost every time I see Mario in a game is like he is in a vicious cycle of his miserable perpetual life battling the same fucking dragon turtlesaurus and Wario is finding new worlds that break the limits of wonder and existence all the time in Wario Land games.

he's been in fucking like at least four different dimensions and unique kinds of adventures

I just

I don't know

Wario stars in fucking cool games

[TequilaClock]

i dunno i just have been playing some Wario Land Shake it lately and it helped me realize how Wario's enemies change in almost every different Wario land game. those games don't have "a goomba".

they don't have a recurring pawn enemy that comes back all the time.

the first game has fucking duck pirates, wario land 4 has tiny pygmys, and wario land shake it has these pirate-esque goomba thingies and also others that are like forks

maybe the only recurring character is Captain Syrup, and she is a fucking cool character as well.

[TequilaClock]

also the characters are overall more cartoony and wacky

i mean check this shit out



it's a fucking fish in a wok. when has Mario ever fought a darn fish in a wok?

heck

i am not even sure if that's a fucking fish. it has arms, so I cannot confirm if it's a fish.

[TequilaClock]

oh oh and

when was the last time Mario fought pirates? not as in the fucking flying battleships Bowser has on Super Mario Bros 3, because it's just Bowser.

Even Diddy Kong has fought pirates, even if they are the same Kremlins but in costumes.

Link fought pirates in Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass

fucking Mario step up your GAME GOSH

[PezClock]

I got wario land 4 (the old classic) for free. It's on my 3ds.

MAN

[TequilaClock]

I mean I guess this is all because Mario and Luigi decided to stay in Mushroom Kingdom, and Wario decided to live in Diamond City and often explore places to get treasures because that's what he loves to do when not making video games and that's fucking cool

[TequilaClock]

in fact...

I think Wario has shown more interesting aspects about Marioââ,¬â,,¢s universe; except Mario is stuck in this one continent, country, dimensional plain, whatever that is the Mushroom Kingdom

and Wario is in this modern day city, in the jungle, in the sea, in every believeable non-recurring landscape

he explores. he actually SHOWS Marioââ,¬â,,¢s own universe, instead of just the Mushroom Kingdom.

Heck, maybe even Mario is from Diamond City too and everyone there that knew him might be like ââ,¬Å"holy fuck what happened to him? he just disappearedââ,¬Â

[RobClock]

Nintendo just isn't willing to take risks with Mario anymore

[d u m p y]

wario land 4 and wario world for the gamecube are like two of the most fun games i've ever played and every time i play mario kart or mario party i always play as wario because he's a fucking badass

also he's great in ssb brawl

[miracle fruit]

is there 3d wario like mario 64

[d u m p y]

is there 3d wario like mario 64

kinda

[DurianClock]

that's actually the first one i played years ago and i fucking love it, i really wanna get the first 3 games

Until then, you can play them from your browser here.

[AmberArachnidClock]

p much

edit: In fact, I'd say the gba warioware was one of my biggest inspirations to make indie games

[AnkhClock]

Warioland 4 was one of my favorite games ever. I lost the cartridge though, I hope the rerelease it on the 3DS's shop.

There's actually more variance in Mario games than in Wario games if you think about it.

"Wario" games are only 2D platformers and minigame collections, but Mario games are 2D platformers, 3D platformers, racing games, painting games, typing games, board games (mario party), sports games, RPGs, etc.

If you're only talking about nothing at all but the platformer games as "true" Mario games, they all do have a rather wide variety in levels. I think the real problem that people have with modern Mario games is that they don't actually play them, and just base them all on the fact that they all have a similar first level. Did you know that Mario Bros. U has a level designed around Van Gogh paintings?

Just going through his history of main games, the Mario setting has gone from Boston, to the Mushroom Kingdom, to Dream Land, then different parts of the mushroom kingdom, then Sarasaland (Mario Land games, it had all different enemies), then a doctors office, then Dinosaur Island which again had totally new enemies, then there's that whole "paper mario" universe, and then Mario 64 took place in paintings and had tons of new enemies again, and then there was Mario Sunshine which was in Delfino with mostly new enemies, then a couple games in outer space.

So what I'm saying is, I think the Mario series is more diverse than people give it credit for. It's gotten kind of shit as of late with all the "new super mario bros" stuff though.

[TequilaClock]

Boston

Don't you mean Brooklyn?

[Thor]

Don't you mean Brooklyn?

I think you're right, but I actually looked it up and apparently they retconned it so the game "Donkey Kong" took place in an area called "Big Ape City", which appeared again in Donkey Kong Land.

[buttplug]

Wario is basically the Nintendo character that best matches up to the average person's idea of "weird Japanese shit"
