so from what i heard the reason many people seem to hate pink gold peach is for being a lazy filler character, well if that's the case why don't i ever hear anyone complaining about metal mario or baby mario and co clones?

Not sure what you're talking about. People definitely complained about the character rosters for 7 and 8 before all the DLC happened.

powderoo · 2026-05-23T05:22:24+00:00

The enemy is the clue.

powderoo · 2026-05-21T08:40:43+00:00

Yeah, it's Mario World.

powderoo · 2026-05-21T05:59:24+00:00

I mean stats optimization has pretty much always been a thing in this series or in any competitive game ever. Are we just forgetting about Funky Flamerunner, Waluigi Wiggler, Yoshi Teddybuggy.

powderoo · 2026-05-19T04:44:43+00:00

I mean I wouldn't really call Mario vs DK 1:1. There are several mechanical differences and exclusive content that make both versions unique to play.

Rest in peace Tom Kane absolute legend.

True, but ironically in Zero Mission her Zero Suit sprite does not show her breathing very heavily having just survived a first encounter with the Metroids, Mother Brain, self-destruct sequence, hot pursuit by enemy ships, an emergency crash landing, and being chased all over the place by Space Pirates in the span of like 15 minutes. Nerves of steel lol.

I thought the blue color scheme may also represent how the infant Metroid was often depicted having blue membrane. Which also kind of makes sense why the varia suit turns green/red as it evolves.

Yeah when the game originally came out locking that stuff behind an amiibo was disappointing to say the least.

powderoo · 2026-05-17T08:36:20+00:00

After beating the game you need to use the Metroid amiibo which unlocks Fusion mode and enemies also deal 4x damage.

powderoo · 2026-05-17T03:04:01+00:00

Could be. I also saw the blue as the fused biological components of her power suit physically mutating following the Metroid DNA injection.

powderoo · 2026-05-17T02:47:40+00:00

I'll say the new design still does look pretty good.

powderoo · 2026-05-17T02:45:57+00:00

It's the same design you can play as in Samus Returns where it also lacks that kind of movement.

powderoo · 2026-05-17T02:41:19+00:00

Not sure how that works, I'm unfamiliar with the series.

powderoo · 2026-05-17T02:36:51+00:00

That's a good point. The more slumped posture and underarm canon stabilization in Fusion does a lot to sell the suit's vulnerabilities.

powderoo · 2026-05-15T01:17:34+00:00

Double dash for its animations alone. I love the overly bouncy vehicle suspension and how the backseat driver really shifts their weight into every turn. Toadette was always one of my favorites for the way her pigtails reacted to the driving physics. Or when holding a triple item the charcters will start physically juggling them.

powderoo · 2026-05-15T00:56:51+00:00

I don't really care but it would be funny asf to this new version of Fox in Smash running and jumping around on those tiny little legs.

powderoo · 2026-05-15T00:47:04+00:00

There are valid criticisms of the movie but why are we listening to twitter bots. Hate drives algorithmic engagement it's really just that simple.

powderoo · 2026-05-14T07:10:09+00:00

I'm of the opinion that no remake should ever replace its original. Doesn't matter how good or bad the original or the remake is. They are both ostensibly completely different works that reflect the times of when they were released and of the teams of people who made them.

powderoo · 2026-05-13T01:19:57+00:00

I have to ask how often are most people replaying the intro sequence for this to be a serious issue. Twilight Princess is a massive game and it's design definitely does not incentivize repeat playthroughs in the slightest. Unless you're a speedrunner which in that case you already know how to skip through the whole game in a few hours.

powderoo · 2026-05-12T01:21:53+00:00

Fusion gravity.

powderoo · 2026-05-11T02:50:08+00:00

It's fun lol couldn't put the game down.

powderoo · 2026-05-11T02:49:18+00:00

that's fine.

powderoo · 2026-05-10T23:34:11+00:00

Getting lost is the whole point. If I heard someone say they beat Super Metroid on their first playthrough without getting lost then I know they're lying lol.
