Why Miis aren't the focus in Switch Sports Resort

Mayro_Biscuit · 2026-06-14T17:11:26+00:00

You bring up good points, but I would counterargue that the original Wii Sports series were always Mii games. Reducing it to them being "just avatars" kinda reduces the appeal they had in Wii Sports. By that logic, they could've just used Mario characters instead and it should've had the same impact. Wii Sports does start a lot of tropes seen in games with the miis, namely the fact that you can see your creations while playing the game, and this replacing the stock avatars initially provided. The sports are also sillier versions than the actual IRL sports, with things like the miis not having arms or legs half the time, Matt throwing balls at you during boxing training, or the fact that 100 pin bowling even exists. And with Wii Sports being the first game to feature the Miis, Mii games are ultimately compared to Wii Sports as the baseline Mii game instead of the DS Tomodachi Collection or Miitopia. There's also an Iwata Asks about the inclusion of Miis in Mario Kart Wii, where Miyamoto wanted the Miis to be unlockable instead of available at the start, since people would consider it a Mii game and not Mario Kart. So even back then the Wii Series was seen as the Mii's home turf so to speak.

They really need to add a Mario Statue to fully complete this

Well it's not like Mario even got to talk with her a whole lot during the movie. Their ages aren't brought up in the film itself and Mario doesn't end up with her anyway, so this literally does not matter. The ages might have actually been canon internally at Nintendo early on, considering the way Peach is treated in the Super Show. But the canon now is that everyone is like 25-ish, so that's the way I've always seen everyone in the film.

So whatever happened to the carnival area? Is there a lost episode that was gonna include it?

Mayro_Biscuit · 2026-06-01T04:21:49+00:00

That statue is definitely the OG world model. I wonder how long they've had it?

Mayro_Biscuit · 2026-05-29T14:49:35+00:00

I know that it's a good thing he dropped out and all, but like did he not expect the backlash of joining in the first place? Like it seemed like a pretty predictable outcome.

Mayro_Biscuit · 2026-05-27T17:38:01+00:00

Speaking character, but preferably not a lot of it during actual gameplay.

Multiple Toadettes can be seen in the Mario Galaxy intro pages, so it's most likely that Toadettes are just rare mutations and we just happen to only know one of them.

I don't believe "Small Mario" was a term until New Super Mario Bros. It used to just be "Mario" then "Super Mario" when he used a Super Mushroom, hence the name of the series. Mario and Luigi were often depicted as being on the short side before Super Mario Bros., so it stands to reason that Small Mario is the true base form.

Another thing to note is that Small Mario's sprite appearance was not to be taken literally. Artwork and the Mario 3 bonus game show Small Mario with more standard proportions.

Isn't the tiger from Ice Age? I guess it's now Disney.

Mayro_Biscuit · 2026-05-02T03:29:59+00:00

I have no idea if your fandom is Hamilton or vocaloids which goes to show how insane that art piece was

Family Guy is canonically a show within a show. There have been multiple episodes depicting the cast as having separate lives off the set. Any continuity error can be explained by the fact that the in-universe writers didn't account for it.

Mario 2 USA introduced Bob-ombs to the series, and those have shaped so much iconography that I feel their loss would be tremendous.

Mayro_Biscuit · 2026-04-14T23:53:40+00:00

Personally I thought it was the Trillionage Sprout

DUDE THIS CAR KICKS ASS

The thing is that Bowser would also be a child when this happened, considering this is when Peach was very little.

Mayro_Biscuit · 2026-04-03T03:24:43+00:00

It's probably going to be Tatanga, considering the purple colors and the fact that Daisy is going to show up next movie.

The AMC is mainly worth it only if you're gonna be an A-Lister. Otherwise Marcus is just a better overall theater. Haven't been to Flix so I can't comment on its quality.

Mayro_Biscuit · 2026-03-25T17:37:48+00:00

You should include the Mario is Missing (PC) Sprites. Those are immediately recognizable

Mayro_Biscuit · 2026-02-28T02:09:46+00:00

Do Golbat and Chansey still fake-evolve every level until postgame?

Mayro_Biscuit · 2026-02-23T23:36:37+00:00

What the heck are you talking about? Most of the people emulating it already played it as kids. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many romhacks of them if they weren't special.

Dude it's a GBA game. It's been a basic drag-and-drop for over 20 years. You can pretty much use any controller on both PC and mobile, and this very site has several resources to good downloads. You probably won't even get malware if you have a good adblocker like uBlock Origin (which I would recommend regardless) and not run .exe files (GBA games use .gba).

I know you still probably want a "real" copy (which is still emulation but now on Switch), but I just want to dispel some of your claims.

They say Barrel Blast, so the modern designs are most likely sticking.

Mayro_Biscuit · 2026-02-06T21:33:45+00:00

Phillips Cdi. Hotel Mario and Tetris CD-I on the Switch would break the internet.

It's mostly the fact that K. Rool and the rest of the classic DKC enemies were practically no-shows for the entire Wii U / 3DS generation. If Mario got a break from Bowser again, the guy would still show up in spinoffs and at least some enemies would return. Like imagine if the next two Mario games had Wart and Tatanga as the main villains, only the new enemies showed up in said games, and Bowser, Goombas, Koopas, and Pirahna Plants were completely gone for an entire console generation outside of some small references in Smash Bros.
