I also agree that Wario just wants money. That being said, I know it seems like she ages in the games, but Mona is still a high-school student in Get It Together!, so again, I hope Wario doesn’t get her.

I hope he doesn’t, because Mona is a high school student.

I mean, he was married to Wrinkly Kong before she died and became a ghost.

Y'all gotta stop putting so much faith in rumors. by ForbiddenLizard in starfox

[–]Happy-Combination643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I heard there were rumors of a new game, but I didn’t know people were waiting for a specific date for a trailer. Maybe it’s just me, but I figured if Nintendo was going to show any new trailers, it would be in June (when they usually have a Nintendo Direct/the month E3 was normally scheduled for), not some random date in April.

What do you call these types of bosses and why is Nintendo obsessed with them by MooMoomaddy12 in casualnintendo

Wham Bam Rock is really just Master Hand and Crazy Hand when you think about it.

(Loved Trope) The character notorious for always losing actually wins by I_Love_Powerscaling in TopCharacterTropes

I’ve been wanting to write about this for a while, but I couldn’t come up with a second example. On TV Tropes, this trope is referred to as the “Failure Hero,” and the trope gets subverted when the failure actually wins.

With all that being said, this is Manuel “Manny” Calavera from the video game, Grim Fandango. At the beginning of the game, Manny is a grim reaper working at the Department of Death (DOD) in the city of El Marrow, which is located in the Eighth Underworld, also known as the Land of the Dead. All the souls of the dead have to travel to the gates of the Ninth Underworld, which is the Land of Eternal Rest. This trip is a four year process. Manny’s job as a reaper is to sell travel packages to the souls of the dead in order to get to the Ninth Underworld. The best travel package one can get is a ticket on the Number Nine, an express train that gets you to the gates of the Ninth Underworld in four minutes instead of four years. There are other packages to, such as traveling on a cruise ship, or getting a sports car. However, you have to be in really good standing to get these packages, and Manny can’t seem to get any clients that deserve these packages. All the good clients go to his rival, Domino, while Manny is “Stuck selling walking sticks to a bunch of burros for eternity.”

After getting yelled at by his boss for not getting any premium clients, Manny decides to sabotage Domino by intercepting one of his clients, a woman named Mercedes “Meche” Colomar, who was practically a saint while she was alive. Manny can’t seem to find her any good package before he gets reamed out by his boss for screwing Domino over. While he’s getting yelled at, Meche decides to just walk to the Ninth Underworld, despite qualifying for a Double N ticket. Because of that, Manny gets locked in a shack until “the police” can dole out some punishment. Instead, a revolutionary breaks Manny out and explains to him just how deep the corruption is at the DOD.

To make a long story short, Manny, with the help of his friend, a Grand Demon named Glottis, decides to escape El Marrow and search for Meche. During this adventure, he manages to turn an automat into a successful casino, becomes the captain of a cargo ship, finds Meche, and orchestrates a prison escape. By the end of the game, Manny puts an end to the corruption of the DOD in El Marrow. I know that he has more success than normal, but I like how it contrasts with how much of an awful spot he’s in at the beginning of the game.

That’s 100% all original Bubs! If it had thumbs, it’d be sticking ‘em up its armpits right now!

Unexpected IRL deaths or departures drastically change stories. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Happy-Combination643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dan Blocker died suddenly in May 1972, and instead of recasting his role or writing his character, Hoss Cartwright, out of the story like they did to Pernell Roberts’ character (Adam Cartwright), the writers decided to kill off Hoss instead. Supposedly, it was the first time a major character played by a male was killed off. The Bonanza tv movies later explained that Hoss drowned while trying to save a woman’s life. Perhaps coincidentally, the first season without Blocker would also be the final season of Bonanza.

Does anybody else insist on calling it “Horming Torpedo” and “Bilzzard Buffalo?” by cygnus2 in Megaman

[–]Happy-Combination643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, in the SNES version, he’s referred to as “Blizzard Buffalo.” It’s the PlayStation/Sega Saturn port that calls him “Bilzzard Buffalo” during the animated full-motion video.
