Hello, First off, Nice Site.
Second, My friend and I are in a heated bet: Who
has the right to the stuff thatw as in SMRPG (I.e. Geno, Mallow, Smithy, Ninbus
Town, ect. Stuff that wasn't in any Mario game...) Square Soft or Nintendo? I
say it's Square Soft since they did most of the work on the game, but my friend
says that Nintendo does. Who's right?
Third: That gay dork about opening doors with
Mario... uhh man-hood... needs SERIOUS help. I think he's been hanging out in
one too many sex chat rooms, don't you think so?
Fourth: (I am sorry, I have so many questions) Do
you think Mario like peach or Daisy better? I mean, how can he have time for 2
women? Thanks!
-'Chao_Chao'
| BeckerManEX:
Thanks for liking the site so much, we try! To answer your first
question, Squaresoft was only the developer of the game, and all of the elements
of the game are property of Nintendo. All of the characters are property of the
publisher, in most cases this holds true, but not all. Yes our little, lets open
the door with our "wanker", "friend" needs help. Peach. |
| Hairball: First,
thanks for the compliment. Second, I don't have, and haven't played much
of Super Mario RPG, I am not sure of the answer but think Square did most of the
work in the game, Nintendo was the the publisher and since Nintendo owns the
right to the Mario games I suppose Nintendo owns the stuff that is in SMRPG.
Third, I get tons of lame e-mails from people, but every e-mailbag 1 or 2 stupid
e-mails will be posted. Fourth, Daisy hasn't appeared in any game since
Super Mario Land, so I wouldassume Mario likes Peach more...but who knows... |
| Namek: 1:
Thanx. You may think that Hairball owns it so he's done the most work, but
that's not true. He's lazy. I do all the work around here :) 2: I would think
nintendo still has the rights since there coming out with Super Mario Adventure,
but I don't really know. 3: yes. Gay like Solar. j/k 4: Isn't that the same
person? Maybe Luigi has sex with peach. |
| SolarGamer:
First: Thank You very much Second: That is a tough question...but I would have
to say Nintendo. Nintendo is VERY protective over rights and they wouldn't have
given Square Soft the rights, if Nintendo didn't have a strong hold on the
copyrights. Third: Well, what can we say about people...Some weirdo's have
strange fetishes. Right Harry? |
| FireKraken:
Too...manny.....questions....overload....overload...overload... |

Why is there only Mario and Luigi(2 players)Why not
more?
| BeckerManEX:
I'm not quite sure what you are asking, but if you mean that why are
the Mario games only two players, because only up till 2 years ago there were
only 2 controller ports on the front of systems. With Dolphin, maybe we will see
8 or more players with internet capabilities. |
| Hairball: Mario
and Luigi are brothers so you can say that there are only 2 players. There
are TWO Mario brothers, Mario and Luigi, isn't that simple? |
| Namek: Cause
Nintendo is lazy. |
| SolarGamer:
Well, I am not "game designer" so I am not really the man to ask. The
reason is probably because Nintendo knows better. Look at Donkey Kong 64, that
whole 5 character situation was horrible, and highly reptetive. 2 is just fine,
thank you. |
| FireKraken:
Uhh..because they are brothers? |
Link wrote:
Is it true that Super Mario 2 will come on N64?
| BeckerManEX:
It hasn't been disproven, but I seriously doubt it. I would much rather
have a brand new game to launch with Dolphin than another game on N64. Sorry to
say, but N64 day's are numbered. |
| Hairball: It
might, it might not. But with Dolphin probably not coming out this year it
seems like a possibility. |
| Namek: Yes,
I like pony's. |
| SolarGamer:
Super Mario 2 WILL NOT be on the N64. I am not so sure about Super Mario 64 2
though, (but it most likely won't). |

dear sm64c,
i think you should have history of super mario. If he is so famous i think you
should go back to the to the birth of mario and work your way to the present day
or even the future of mario. If this site is named after him you should do this
it should make the site better.
from Pikachu
| BeckerManEX:
I do believe we have that in our features section. That is what that
nav menu to the left is all about =). |
| Hairball: There
is a "history" of Mario article written here. It's called
"Introduction to Mario" and it's in the Specials. |
| Namek: I
think I'll write one. I don't want to get fired. |
| SolarGamer: If
any bothered to read my King Bowser Koopa Biography, you could see the similar
idea with him. I could always write a Mario Bio... |
| FireKraken:
That sounds like a good idea!! Lemme just type it up on my invisible
typewriter. <starts humming and typing on a "air keyboard"> |

Did you ever realize how much donkey kond immatates
mario world? I mean come on, the stars are bannanas, the princess is the
king,coins are little banannas,they both have warps, that seems like a lot in
common if you ask me. also i have a question about level six, what is the
"amazing exit" what is it? just to leave the maze?
| BeckerManEX:
The amazing exit of the maze lets you get to a star. As for Donkey Kong
being similar to Mario's world, I think you have to remember that it is really
just a different part of the same world, as we have seen for ourselves that
Mario and Donkey live in the same world, remember the original Donkey Kong? |
| Hairball: Yes,
the DK games seem to be "based" off the Mario games. But mainly,
the Donkey Kong games fall in the same genre as the Mario games, so you see
that's why the games are fairly similar. |
| Namek: No
Comment. I despise all Donkey Kong 64 Games. |
| SolarGamer:
Donkey Kong 64 doesn't immatate Super Mario World...but it does
"steal" the same concept from Super Mario 64. Donkey Kong
Country...NOW that was a good DK game! |
| FireKraken:
Here you bad mouth DK64 and Mario64 and now you want help? Just ask
yourself, "What would Mario in Mario 64 do?" |

| BeckerManEX:
Well thanks, make a check payable to Erich J. Becker at 601...er..I
better not give out my address. |
| Hairball: Hurray!
That's very smart of you... |
| SolarGamer:
Your welcome...no your not! Ok you are...then again no...but since you put it
that way....whatever. |
| FireKraken:
Hey I know you...Aren't you the guy that..no wait...maybe
you..hmm..what's the word?...ah yes...suck. |

You guys think Nintendo will never rid the world of
Mario? What do you fraks think they're doing with Pokemon right now? In my last
letter, it was obvious you guys wanted Pokemon to be on top, so as a loyal
Nintendo fan who likes Mario, Link, Samus, and all the others EXCEPT for the
rat, I will say this one final time: Pokemon SUCKS, is for BABIES, and causes
murder, fights, raping, arguments, and even a sex incident! And everyone who
likes Pokemon sucks too.
| BeckerManEX:
Well all those things you listed can be caused by anything. Remember it
is all one big happy company. I personally and not a PokeFreak (or Frak in your
language). I like to watch the cartoon sometimes (yes I know I'm 17) and play
the game when I go on a long road trip. I am not out there spending hundreds of
dollars for cards, or having my mom attach other mom's to get toys (I work at
Wal-Mart, and saw this happen). |
| Hairball: No,
Mario is Nintendo's most successful franchise, if it wasn't for Mario, Nintendo
would be no where right now. Yes, Pokemon may not appeal to some people,
like you, but many people still like Pokemon a lot. It's true that Pokemon
has also caused a lot of controversy
but that's what happens when there's a hyped thing around. One more thing,
wouldn't "raping" be a sex incident? It seems like you don't
have your arguments straight. |
| Namek: I
will also say this one final time too: Pokemon SUCKS, is for BABIES, and causes
murder, fights, raping, arguments, and even a sex incident! And everyone who
likes Pokemon sucks too. |
| SolarGamer:
Well, I like the GAME Pokemon: I think it is a good GAME...but that is all.
There is no way that "rat" will replace Mario...so stop getting your
panties in a tuffle. |
| FireKraken:
You did WHAT with a rat? In all actuallity I think YOU are the frak. |

Hey, nice site. Anyways, is there a way to get
Metal Mario in Super Smash Brothers. I heard this rumor around my school, and I
wanna know if it's true =)
| BeckerManEX:
Hmmm...not having played SSB too much I really wouldn't know, Brian? |
| Hairball: No
it is not possible to play as Metal Mario in Super Smash Bros. |
| SolarGamer:
Have no idea if you can get Metal Mario in SSB...all I know is that you battle
him ;). Sorry I couldn't be more help. |
| FireKraken:
Sorry to break it to ya..but most on campus rumors are false. And this
one just happens to be. |

I have two questions. One is, what does the X stand
for in PSX? Why don't they just have PS as the abbreviation for Playstation? And
my other question is, when is Playstation 2 gonna come out? I heard it was gonna
come out in fall, but then I heard it was changed to summer. Thank you for your
time.
| BeckerManEX:
The X stands for suX in my opinion. Man after sitting on the loading
screen for like a year waiting for a game to load, I found out that it really
does suck. Man look you can see the pixels, yuck. PS2 is released March 4th in
Japan and Fall 2000 here in the good old US of A. |
| Hairball: The
Playstation was originally called "Playstation X", so that's where the
X came from, but they decided to just call it "Playstation" but
the PSX short form remained.
Playstation 2 is coming out this fall I believe in
the US. It should be out in Japan in the Spring or Summer, I'm not exactly
sure.
|
| Namek: It
stands for Extreme. the PSX used to be called PlayStation Extreme but the name
changed and all the fans still called it PSX. as you can see on any PS2 system,
they took the X off. |
| SolarGamer:
Have no idea, have no idea...have some idea, but won't say my idea. Umm, As I
recall this is a Mario site, and unless something happened in the last few
minutes, MARIO belongs to NINTENDO. |
| FireKraken:
Hmm...if you look around, does it look like we give a crap about
PlayStation? And to answer your first question, PSX stands for Playstation SuX. |

What does shooting to the blue mean on level 2 Thwomps
fortres SM64?
| BeckerManEX:
What color is the sky? |
| Hairball: It's
a star where you shoot using the cannon to a platform which has a star. |
| SolarGamer:
SM64C, has a Game FAQ people! Why not use it? |
| FireKraken:
What are you talking with gum in your mouth or something? Just don't
swallow that thing! |

how many mario's does it take to screw in a light
bulb? excluding the third mario.
| BeckerManEX:
I thought there was only one Mario, has Nintendo been experimenting
with cloning techniques? |
| Hairball: It
depends on what type of light bulb you're talking about... |
| Namek: I'd
say -212.3+6(54x)-1 |
| SolarGamer:
1...but he usually screws with the light out. |
| FireKraken:
Third Mario?...i thought it just took one Super Mario. |
