Is Peach the most beloved video game character of all time? | Mario Wonder [9]

[@trevorgrover5619]

Dan is literally just 'hold right, don't think' this whole playthrough lol

[@Tizzer169]

It's kind of annoying to watch

[@Mashamino]

I guess when you're virtually invincible and the camera isn't following you most of the time, it's really easy to just turn your brain off.

[@Dudeman9339]

I have bad news for you. More than half of humans go through life like this.

[@riverfuture]

it's because hes using blue yoshi they need to get dan to an actual character so he has some stake in this, I think it would be way more fun to watch

[@Penquinn14]

@@riverfuture nah he wouldn't have as much fun with it if he had to figure out all the new powers and mechanics. What would help is if Arin kept control of the camera and also forced Dan a bit more to slow down and explore levels but thats kinda hard to do in this game and they can't really just play 100% of the game like some of us want them to

It would be really funny if the "huge wonder" Bowser is preparing ended up being a surprise birthday party for the prince and all of this was prepared by all the characters beforehand to give him an adventure and distracting him enough to finish the party preparations.

Funny you mention that...

[@Konani_the_unicorn_queen]

[@reagansido5823]

Yoshi is just like "Yay I won!" while Peach is just giving a cold silence, watching as he leaves without her.

[@mitchelvanwijk]

31:24 I like how this question comes out of nowhere and is not questioned by Dan or ever brought up again

[@ElFreakinCid]

I like how Arin just confidently revives a debunked claim that was ridiculous to begin with.

Finally catching up on these and was waiting the rest of the video to hear where the fuck he was going with THAT?!

[@EODVods]

Arin at 6:09 : "I always say things that makes sense" Also Arin: "At age six I was born without a face."

Makes perfect sense to me? Kinda messed up that you'd make fun of Arin's tragic backstory, dude. It took him years to grow his face. Not cool.

[@Aidswayz]

14:00 Well Arin if this isn’t a fantasy, why don’t you put on a dress and fall down a large pit to see if YOUR dress would be flying up in your face? We all want to see you test that theory. And if you could get that footage in 4K that would be great. We all need the higher quality to… analyze your theory better

[@arsonpage1371]

With how much Arin himself hypes up Peach i'm surprised that he's shocked that she's one of the most beloved video game characters of all time. Like that's THE Princess Peach man!

[@covereye5731]

Until recently she was the girl who just got kidnapped in most mainline games. She was no Samus or Bayonetta.

[@zynux8252]

@@covereye5731 Samus and Bayonetta are niche, very few people in the mainstream know or care who they are (and still really don't). Also Peach is playable in more spinoffs than she is kidnapped, compared to Zelda who has way less playable ratio. Not that it's wrong to be kidnapped, Mario stories are unserious and are merely window dressing.

[@JorbyTinky]

It's because he's sexist

[@Cakespresso]

​@@zynux8252Bayonetta?? Niche??? Lmao... Lol even

[@zynux8252]

@@Cakespresso Yes. Her franchise was failing until her games began selling on the Switch, and even then her games don't sell more then 1 million copies. Bayonetta is popular amongst hardcore gamers but the casual/mainstream do not know her. Metroid games sell better than hers

I think statistically pikachu is the most beloved video game character. Its the mascot of the most successful media franchise in human history.

Who isn't even the most popular pokemon anymore according to a popularity poll a while back. (It's Greninja, but take that with a grain of salt.)

[@3of6mylove]

[@LycanLink]

12:05 - "I'm gonna shoot Fire Flowers." This is your "launch the cannons" junk all over again, Arin. That's not how they work! Do people throw guns at deer when they go hunting? 😂

[@aislinking5806]

my first thought too; considering all games i can remember being huge, pokemon is probably in the number one spot, because it's _everywhere_

For some reason, I've always misheard the lyrics as "Don't believe me? It's fine!" and thought it sounded like a nice message about accepting that people can disagree with you without making a big deal out of it.

I'm so sad they skipped boo's level. I was in love with his performance and would have loved to see them play that.

[@Nathan55411]

You know, if Yoshi's always big, and Peach is small sometimes, I guess you could say that Arin's a grower, and Dan's a shower.

[@EmperorSeth]

This episode is a real land of contrasts. About ready to scream at the scream when they missed that Wonder Flower for a third time, then had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard after the songs and Arin randomly bringing up the Garfield strip. It's nice to know they can still get me.

Is the toy Arin is thinking of a Ninja Turtle? I had a tiny chibi Raphael that had metallic red skin and a shiny silver mask. It held a marble in its chest, and you could press a button on the back to launch it.

[@skullghost3]

They’re flying through the game, I wonder if there’s only 1-2 episodes left? That would be the shortest Mario series on the channel if that’s the case

[@BoilingDietCoke]

They did 1-2...lol

[@AlexPies1]

actually, New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe might be shorter by runtime, but it depends. if there's only one more episode of this, it'll be Very close. but if there are two more, i'm pretty sure NSMBUDX would be shorter

[@jblen]

U deluxe is 22 episodes around 12 mins, so 4 hours 24 (and then bonus levels later making it 7 hours 20), this is already longer runtime at 9*45 mins so 6 hours 45 with next episode even making it beyond the bonus level time (if it's full length which tbf it may not be) but yes, it'll probably have the shortest episode count

[@Tizzer169]

It is a little strange how they're skipping levels as if they're chores that they don't have time for

[@EmperorSeth]

I'm still hoping they try for the stuff they missed. I doubt they'll finish the final level, but everything up to it would be nice.
