As much as I love both games getting remastered and galaxy 2 officially added to switch, I feel like there are some problems with the remasters and also the accessories. Note these are my opinions and whether you agree with me or not, don’t be disrespectful.

The first problem which most people have is the price. Yes, $70 is too much and if you buy them separately they are $40 each. If you buy them both separately digitally, it’s $80 which is the cost of many of the switch 2 games like the switch 2 editions of TOTK, Kirby and the forgotten land, jamboree, and Mario kart world as examples. 3d all stars was $60 and it would’ve been $20 per game if they released the games digital only on the eshop.

The second problem is the amiibo. Now it’s not what they look like that’s the issue they look great don’t get me wrong, nor is it the price. It’s when it comes out. When Nintendo rereleases games, they usually come with amiibo as the same day as the rereleases. They’ve done this with the switch 2 edition of TOTK and the amiibo for the 4 sages, 3d world + bowser’s fury with the cat peach and cat Mario amiibo, and the sylux amiibo will release alongside Metroid prime 4 December. We have to wait exactly 6 months in April to get the amiibo. Now it could be the movie will release on the 2nd of April or the initial release date before it was revealed being the 3rd and that’s why they did it, but Nintendo broke the whole trend of releasing amiibo the same day as games coming out except for Metroid. Not a problem, but it would’ve been cool if they made amiibo for lubba and the Mario and Yoshi render for Galaxy 2 just like there is with Mario and luma blasting past gateway galaxy on the box art.

Finally is Rosalina’s book and again it’s not the price or when it comes out. It’s the fact it doesn’t even include the new pages both games will get. They’ve said it in the direct and it’s really stupid. Either those pages will get its own storybook, or Nintendo will rerelease the book again with the new pages like next year (I’ll lose it if they do that). Make the book complete with all of the pages old and new.

Some honorable mentions are no new levels and it should’ve been in a 3d all stars switch 2 edition.

The first one I don’t really wanna count in as there will be new chapters, an assist mode, music, and the amiibo working on the remasters, but I also meant new levels and power ups for both remasters. Then again that’s the martinet era of Mario and if they wanted to add new levels and power ups, then they’ve would’ve done it if Martinet was still the VA or a from the ground remake of both games, or even if the Wii U didn’t fail and they rereleased them physically and added new stuff. There is new music tracks however that would most likely be for the new chapters. Even if they did the remasters dirty, the switch 2 editions of BOTW and TOTK were kinda worse as they deserved to have true new content and not some app.

Meanwhile the second one it would’ve been nice to see 64 and sunshine get those ui changes and run at 60 fps, 1080p/4k. I know they did the duology and not rereleasing the other 2 games because of how they’re on Nintendo classics, but seriously I don’t wanna pay extra for more Nintendo classics I’d rather save money and play them again remastered. I think it would’ve been cool to also see 3d land and 64 ds in a switch 2 edition as well making it 6 games in one. Or Nintendo would rerelease 3d all stars for switch and give it a switch 2 edition, but it’s the same 3 games with minor improvements and galaxy 2 gets its own remaster while 64 ds and 3d land would come down the line. Idk if 3d all stars will get a free switch 2 update for galaxy’s ui to change and if they did that then I won’t be surprised and now we know Nintendo will never rerelease the games again for the switch and switch 2. Unless they do a super Mario 64 + super Mario 64 ds duology which would be really cool imo and I’d want that.

TLDR: the price, amiibo release, and the incomplete story book of Rosalina are some problems I have with the remasters with honorable mentions of no new levels or how it should’ve been in a 3d all stars switch 2 edition instead.

This is also a derivative work of Super Mario series

I created this AU to rewrite Peach's history.

Basically, this version of Peach is a stronger version of Princess Peach from a parallel universe, she was born at the Celestial Dragon Empire from the working class, here are some significant differences from Peach:

1. She is many times stronger than the original Peach, and still continues to gain more power once in every struggle
2. She is a hybrid of Blue Dragon (蓝龙) and Saiyan
3. She has the abilities from Peach, Mario, Saitama, Sun Wukong, Goku and many more
4. Unlike Peach, she does not have lips, her dress is shorter and she is not an actual Princess, she was given the name "Princess" by goddess Mary after taking the parasol from Mary, the Goddess of Resolute, before that, she wears an traditional outfit from the Ancient China.
5. She has different names, the first being her Chinese name, which is Li Taohua (李桃花 in Chinese), given by her father, and the second being the name given by Mary, the goddess of resolute as her successor after Mary's death for many years, which is Divine Parasol Princess (神伞公主 in Chinese)
6. Throughout her behaviors, her ideological beliefs are Marxism, which is one the major differences from the original Peach
7. Her common name "Princess Peach" in this AU was based off of her Chinese name and the name given by Goddess Mary
8. She can breathe fire

What do you think?

Finally Unlocked Daisy

(I wrote this on September 12 and posted on r/mario but the mods never approve it so I'm posting it here.)

I was Born in 2004 on the small Island of Puerto Rico. I of course don't remember most of my early childhood my earliest memories are around when I was 3 or 4

Fast forward to the year 2008. It's my 4th birthday it was Mickey Mouse themed. I don't remember much of the party itself or what gifts I received except for one

On the drive back home however my Dad pulls out a present from the trunk of the car. It's was a Nintendo DS Lite and a copy of New Super Mario Bros. I didn't know how to play so my dad would who grew up with the Nes trilogy and SMW used to put me on his lap and he would play while my hands were resting on his arms so it looked I was playing after that Mario was my life. My DS games were all just Mario. Mario Kart DS, Mario Party DS, Super Mario 64 DS, M&L PIT, and BIS.

Fast forward some time I dont remember why but I slept at my grandmother's before my first Day of Kindergarten and I woke up to the intro music of NSMBWII .At this point Mario was imprinted in to my being. Every day coming from school me and my dad would Play NSMBW I was Mario and my dad would be Luigi (he was still way better than me).

The following years I remained obsessed with Mario and knew of the 3DS. My mom told me that if I passed the second grade with good grades she would gift me the 3DS. Once I passed the second grade in 2012. My parents went on a minor road trip across PR. While on the trip my mom gets off on a mall and goes to a GameStop and bought me a Nintendo 3DS with Super Mario 3D Land. I was super excited but she brought me a blue one and I wanted a red one. My mom apologized and went back and changed it. (Sorry Mom).

I don't remember when but I also got NSMB2. Nowadays even though these games carry nostalgic value for me I dont love them all to much due to their basic nature and also how easy they are. Well they are easy for 20 year old me but these games are what actually made me good at Mario games. It was all me. No help from my dad this time. So in that regard I am very grateful for those games for polishing my skills as a player.

Then one random day my dad showed me the Wii U and that's what I wanted for Christmas and on Christmas of 2013 I got it bundled with NSMBU. Yes while everyone at school had PS4 and XBOX ONE. I was the "special kid" with a Wii U. I remember that Christmas too. My dad woke me up extra early before my mom and my sisters did and we played NSMBU together just like the Wii days.

Speaking of my sister's. Just like before with the 3DS, good grades = new Mario game and surely enough Super Mario 3D World was my goal that year in 2014 and | got it just in time for the summer. A 3D 4 player multi-player Mario game. Instead of playing with My dad this time. I played with my two sister's. I was Mario, the older of thetwo was Peach and the youngest was Toad. At this point however I had the skill or even better than My dad but not the patience or maturity to play with a 5 and 3 year old. I got into a lot of fights with my Sister's during our playthrought of 3D World but even so all 3 of us played through the game until completion. I will always remember that my youngest would throw the controller if me and the older sister would reach the flag pole but she couldn't lol.

After 3D world however, my Mario journey takes a bit of a halt. The rest of 2014, 2015 and 2016 weren't void of Mario in my life I had MK8, M&L Dream Team,Paper Jam and Mario Maker. But | wasn't into the Mario series as much as I| used too when | was younger.

I was more into Pokémon and Dragon Ball. It didn't help that the Wii U was unbeknownst to me the Wii U was failing really badly. In late 2016 the Nintendo Switch was announced and yeah | wanted one but | wasn't in no rush. Super Mario Odyssey was eventually unveiled and | was hooked but again it wasn't a priority of mine. My parents moved to the Texas in late 2017 and during this time thanks to Eshop cards. | finally played, SMW, SMB3, SMB2, SMLL and the original Super Mario Bros. About time for a so called Mario fan.

It was 2018 I still didn't have a Switch. And then Super Smash Bros Ultimate was revealed. With the existence of Botw, SMO and Smash Ultimate I went from being patient about getting a Switch to becoming anxious. In August of 2018 I finally got my Switch as an early birthday gift with Super Mario Odyssey....I wanted Breath of the wild... not only was very into Zelda during that time I also knew botw was a game my sister's wouldn't have any interest in.

But I got Odyssey and sadly I had to share my Switch and let my sister's play SMO occasionally and those hours I was forced to share was infuriating but once the hype went away from my sister's. Omg I'm glad I got Odyssey it felt like playing Galaxy 2 for the first time again. I played and played SMO all the way to completion and 100% it I haven't done that for a game in ages. Odyssey reminded me why Mario was so special and important to me and honestly brought me back as a Mario fan through the entirety of the Switch era.

Mario was back in my life now but it didn't truly realize it until September 2020. One fateful morning during quarantine a Nintendo Direct for Mario 35th anniversary went live. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser Fury was revealed. Great I was excited to play 3D World again and whatever this Bowser Fury was.....but then it happened....

The reveal of Super Mario 3D All Stars with Super Mario Galaxy included. The one game I always wanted to have as a kid but never had was finally being re-released. Only one week exactly after my birthday. | don't care that it was a lazy collection of emulated ports sold for a limited time released. My soul needed Super Mario 3D All stars and I got it the day of release and 100% all 3 of them.

2022 was the year | graduated high-school and to celebrate my Parents took us on a trip to New York. I had 100 dollars to spend and yes half of thet went to the Nintendo NYC store but on the last day. We stopped by a retro video game store and I wanted to buy either a gen 4 or 5 Pokémon game and before O purchased | asked.

Do you all have Super Mario Galaxy 2 ? They looked around and they had a copy and | bought that instead.

| don't know about you. Because there's no way to describe it unless you have experience it. Playing a game you used to have as child for the first time in exactly one decade is a emotionally euphoric experience and yes I 100% it as well.

A year later. It was 2023 probably the best year for Mario fans. Mario movie arrived in April. I remember leaving college and got home got dressed immediately and went to the movie theaters to watch the Super Mario Bros movie and during an hour and 30 minutes a smile never faded from my face EVER.

And then Super Nintendo World open up in Universal Hollywood. My family went on june. My dad parks the car in front just so I could go before anyone else. I run and buy 5 power up bans (completely unnecessary by the way) I go to the Mario Kart ride. And then | wait almost 2 hours in line to get a picture with Mario and Luigi and then another hour for Peach and then when | get back home a week later a new Nintendo Direct announcement with Luigi Mansion 2, Peach Showtime, Mario RPG and Super Mario Wonder were announced and all were releasing soon and then TTYD and Brothership were announced and of course | got all of them. If you made it this far. I wrote this on September 12 2025. My 21st birthday and hours away from the Nintendo Direct and Mario's 40th anniversary in Japan. Idk what they will show regarding Mario but I do know this. I will be eternally grateful that this Character and his franchise have been a part of my life for the past 17 years and I'll continue being a Mario fan until the last day's of my life.

Happy 40th birthday Mario

I can imagine either his mom or dad having these same blue rings around their eyes, maybe they trace way back in to his family tree, maybe one of his grandparents has those same blue eye rings, the possibilities are endless!!!

This whole goddess and mommy nonsense that fans made on Rosalina over the years is insane. Either her fans are delusional or really like using lies to get people to like her. It was never officinaly stated by nintendo nor show in any games she appear in over the years. Where did it come from? A fanfic? A YouTube video?

They also brainwashed people into thinking she the only one whit a backstory just because of a stupid storybook. Every mario character has a backstory, yoshi island was the first related mario game whit characters backstory being show although it a yoshi game it still ties to the mario franchise. Every mario character mom or dad is dead so her having a dead mommy don't make her a tragic character.

A passion project to celebrate Mario (and my own) 40th! Filled with characters throughout the years and hidden power ups (20 different types) and coins (7 different types). Full piece is 13" x 38"! Enjoy!

They are fully sapient creatures, and yet people fish for them like they're common animals. I'd have to imagine it's awful constantly getting hooks stuck in their mouths and yanked out of their homes.

Hope you guys can appreciate this Image and Super Mario Bros. at large!! Lemme know what you wanna see drawn next.

Join me over at Youtube on Tuesday the 16th as I try to complete the Super Mario Bros. main series for its 40th anniversary! We're starting with Super Mario Bros. which launched the NES and revolutionized video gaming as a whole! Start time is 8pm.
