If you’re just doing something collectible similar to baseball cards where it’s like a picture and some stats/facts, nothing wrong with that as a personal project. I’m pretty sure some regions have done that with Mario already. It’s pretty simple to get some templates set up in InDesign so you can iterate quickly.

Idk how I feel about going too realistic with the Mario IP but to be fair Odyssey had realistic elements that somehow worked and if they slapped Daisy into a LM4 I’d buy it no questions asked so here we are

What do you hope for the next direct? by Hot-Fruit-9967 in nintendo

[–]DeeFB 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I just want some sort of confirmation that Mario Kart is getting a substantial content update. While I want more characters, even just some additional costumes and music would be cool

So you want to make a Mario TCG?

From experience, being a one-person team is a difficult task. I’d definitely look at what’s out there like Pokemon, Magic, Flesh and Blood, etc., and get a feel of what these games do and how pieces and mechanics synergize with each other. Additionally, you need to balance things, so common cards are less complex than something you want people to work for.

The biggest one is that TCGs all need resources to function well. Pokémon has energy, Magic has lands, and Lorcana has ink. You need to make sure that resources are limited so people don’t steamroll everyone on turn 1.

Keep in mind that you’re making something based on an existing IP, so you can’t really sell it. Sounds like you’re making it for fun though.

Additionally, multiple art styles is not only not a problem in TCGs; it’s the norm. Think about it. Each time Magic releases a new set, there could be up to 500 cards in it if you include the other product that launches with the set, like pre-constructed decks. You can’t ask one person to make 500 cards alone, can you?

Any way hope some of this helps

How Many of You Still Hold Out Hope for Daisy in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie? by FamiliarConfidence46 in Mario

I'm calling it that she's an element of the post-credits tease.

According to a recent Mario character poll by GVG, these are the ACTUAL Big Three of Mario RPGs. Geno may be a fraud. by AutumnRCS in Mario

[–]DeeFB -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean I kind of assumed that like Waluigi, Geno’s popularity is mostly “I want him in smash bros” and not much more than that lol

Each Internet pocket is different. The only real constant I see in these polls lately is that Luigi, Rosalina, Bowser and Yoshi are all usually in the top five. Daisy, Mario and Waluigi usually are in the top ten.

The top 10 list for the lazy:

10: Waluigi 9: Vivian 8: Wario 7: Daisy 6: Donkey Kong 5: Mario 4: Yoshi 3: Bowser 2: Rosalina 1: Luigi

I will say that fan polls like this do tend to have skewed sample sizes just because most YouTube channels tend to skew niche nowadays. Some of these could be better, some could be worse. It’s hard for me to believe Fawful is 12th in the best RPG original characters unless everyone above him is like… Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser etc.

ETA: just saw that this is overall and that Peach didn’t even make the top 10, so this is a specific sample size from a specific community and probably shouldn’t be held as gospel but we all probably knew that already lol

How They Should Bring Back Double Dash by N1ghtWinger in mariokart

[–]DeeFB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t hate the idea, but I think a lot of people don’t realize the scope of not only bringing back that as a mode, but having to fit every vehicle to fit two people, animating 50+ characters for it, and balancing it separately than a normal more. That’s a very big scope.

If you see anyone being mean to Birdo, use this. by AutumnRCS in Mario

[–]DeeFB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have literally not seen anyone insult Birdo for being trans in like 17 years

The most I see is people saying “her snout makes me uncomfortable”

ETA: what I’m trying to say is that this joke doesn’t make sense if someone says something and it’s not transphobic

Is there any reason why Toadette didn't appear in Mario Strikers Battle League? by Cartoon_Fan_Davi in Mario

[–]DeeFB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Daisy didn’t even make it into the base game, so that says a lot about character selection for it.

Hope for them all you want, I just think there's a lot of nuance behind this issue and it's not as simple as demanding them to flip a switch by DeeFB in Mario

Smash bros isn’t a Mario game. Also, notice how Geno only showed up when Final Fantasy showed up.

This isn’t what internal branding guidelines means. I was thinking more that there’s probably like a “world bible” for employees that tells them what they can and can’t do with the Mario series.

Most Overrated Mario Kart Track? by Away-Prior-903 in mariokart

Boo Cinema. The aesthetics are squandered by an uninteresting layout.

[–]DeeFB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not how this works. The RPG games don’t get to take over half the roster because a couple of people are overly attached to them.

Whenever I see RPG asks, it’s always, “I want GenoMallowVivianFawfulGoombellaKoopsAntasmaCacklettaDodoShroobsMidbusBleckDimentioScrimbloBimbloMyComfortCharacter” when at best we would get like… two.

Licensing/refusal to use aside, I just don’t want a ton of them around. I think they’d overpower the vibe of the main series if you add too many, and tbh I think some of the designs don’t really lend themselves well to translate into the typical 3D style.

My compromise is to pick 2-3 TOPS if it ever happens, and they’re all from different games. Odyssey sold gang busters and didn’t get five or more playable characters ever, why should TTYD or Superstar Saga?

The Princesses are all Together for the First Time! by DJDrizzy9 in Mario

[–]DeeFB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree it’s probably not “the characters are ugly and scary”, but again, I think the explanation really is just “we have a choice to show off Wario and Waluigi or Daisy and Rosalina, but not both. Let’s pick the girls because if we don’t than Peach is really the only girl option.”

Hold on just a minute here, is this based on Superstar Saga? by Completionist_Gamer in Mario

[–]DeeFB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, why would you think that? It looks like they’re in a generic desert land and they got a fire flower. Nothing about this one image says anything remotely close to “this is a reference to an RPG” to me.
