[@cbmysteryracerDEV]

Wario actually has more special abilities than you mentioned, that make him more useful in certain sections. He can punch enemies farther, and when bumped into, doesn't get hit back as far. This makes him really good against the Bully enemies and bosses, where he can finish the missions, that require you to defeat them, really quickly. He also can run when holding an enemy, box, etc., whereas Mario and Luigi can't run when holding stuff and have to walk. Nobody ever mentions Wario's other abilities, so I thought I would mention them.

[@lmao2302]

he's also a god in multiplayer.

Since you asked, Mario doesn't do the Peace sign anymore because Miyamoto always hated it. He tried for years to get them to not put them in the games but for a long time nobody would listen to him. He thought it was too kid-friendly and would cost them the older demographic, and he didn't want it to be a staple image of mario.

[@jcplays236]

At least its in Mario Odyssey though

[@Solin324]

Oh really I thought it was because the peace sign in Britain is basically the middle finger

[@tiny_tamsz]

Peace Sign is Britain is more known as the 'Victory Sign', thanks to Winston Churchill in WWII It's not the middle-finger, buttt… if you flip it backward THEN it's equivalent to a middle-finger

[@thatgamingshow1261]

Tarks Gauntlet it was never a peace sign, it was a V for victory.

[@TarksGauntlet]

@ThatGamingShow Do a google image search of "Peace sign." You might be surprised. The symbol starting getting used as a peace sign since at least the 60's and still continues today. Given that's nearly 60 years ago now it's probably safe to say it is in fact a peace sign haha.

[@captainmario_]

Nice video. Here are also some more specific character stats and traits that may have been unmentioned: Mario: Good at everything Power: 2/3 Speed: 2/3 Swim: 2/3 Jump: 2/3 Unique Traits: Wall Kick, Turning while running is very good, Speed mildly affected carrying objects, Good Punching/Kicking far, Wing Cap Power Flower: Floating matches his "bubbly personality" Luigi: Many people confuse Mario as slower, but this was never true. From RPG games to Smash bros, Luigi runs slower. In this game, running is basically same. Power: 1/3 Speed: 2/3 Swim: 3/3 Jump: 3/3 Unique Traits: Spinning Back Flip, Skidding on water, Slight Scuttle Jump, Weaker at throwing objects and punching/kicking far, Slower at carrying objects Power Flower: Vanish ability comes out as an expression of his personality in being shy and hidden Wario: The instruction booklet mocks him for lack of intelligence Power: 3/3 Speed: 1/3 Swim: 1/3 Jump: 1/3 Unique Traits: Breaks Black Bricks, Throws everything farther, Speed not affected by carrying objects, Power Ground Pound, Sends enemies flying farthest through attacks, Heaviest, In Verses Mode can pick up other players, and spin toss them Power Flower: Metal ability matches his hard head and strength Yoshi: Most unique playing style Power: 0/3 Speed: 3/3 Swim: 2/3 Jump: 3/3 Unique Traits: Tounge, Egg Lay, Egg throw, Flutter Jump, Starting with any cap before level Power Flower: Fire breath matches Yoshi's fierce stomach Also worth noting the dialogue in the game is pretty well written; talking to different Toads as different characters has me remember some funny lines. The cut-scenes in the beginning and end also show different personalities.

[@Cute___E]

I talked to one of the Toads as Luigi and he literally just roasted me. Here, I found the quote: "What?! You're Luigi? The world's most inept and least charismatic brother? Wow! Can you introduce me to Mario? Huh? Did we meet the other day? I totally forgot. You're not very memorable. I guess your brother got all the charisma in the family, huh!"

*_The best part of 64DS for me was Waluigi._* He's not in the game, but I spent hours trying to unlock him, and I would talk on the phone with my friend about uncovering the secret. This lasted all the way until 2013. Even after he moved in 2011, we still talked about it. The pinnacle of it all was when I discovered WwwWario and the Arceus2401 mystery. I had so much fun playing this game as a child, and I'm glad I got to experience it. _on a final note, I never got all 150 stars.. Even with action replay, I never got the last 3. I was stuck at 145 for ages, and eventually got it to 146 and 147... A few years back, I played it again and 100%ed it in a week._

I grew up with the original version of Mario 64, yet I prefer the remake. Yes the controls are kinda awkward, but everything else added to the game and being portable makes it so much precious to me. Plus there's this guy working on a ROM hack for 64 DS that fixed most of the controls issues ( as well as buffing Wario and Yoshi, nerfing Luigi and giving everyone the Wall Jump), so that gets rid of one of its greatest weaknesses, at leat for me. Love the original, but I love the remake even more.

Canonically, Wario has some of the fastest running speed in the Mario universe. In Wario Land, he has that Shoulder Bash that gives him a boost of speed just for pressing B and if you've played Wario Land 4, he can dash through boulders with his head and keep up an extremely fast pace. Not to mention, Wario can pick up and pile-drive giant dinosaurs 4 times bigger than Bowser in Wario World. If Wario was given his Wario Land movesets in this game, people would be singing a different tune. But of course, the Nintendo developers hugely nerfed him for no good reason.

[@UsingGorillaLogic]

I have a lore friendly way to explain this. Wario's power level in his games seems to fluctuate from game to game but in his strongest cases he is always surrounded by powerups (that are not the same as mario's), garlic, and cash. Aside from coins being everywhere, Wario is clearly nowhere near his sources of power and seeing as Wario games are very clearly far away from the mushroom kingdom, I imagine he may have uh.... farted away his power. I am sure Bowser planned ahead and got rid of anything Wario could use to meet his max power. This isn't even the only Mario game that Wario is nerfed either, look at him in any Mario spinoff he is just as nerfed and there is just as little garlic.

[@KahunaLagoona]

Wario (And to an extent Yoshi) was just included in this game out of contrivance, they wanted to showcase that the DS was capable on rendering not only 3D but four characters playing at once - early trailers focused on this namely by showcasing all four characters with wing caps flying, and that focus was showcased further by the multiplayer mode. However, the core Mario group doesn't exactly have four characters to all fit a role, usually only Mario and Luigi. Wario was created by a separate team within Nintendo as a sort of anti-Mario since they themselves didn't like being forced to make a Mario game, hence why Mario Land 3 became the springboard for Wario Land. Eventually though, Wario was added into the general Mario cast only to serve as filler for spin-off games, since they couldn't keep filling roles with generic Koopa Troopas, etc. In short, Wario was only there because they needed another character. By the time of NSMBW - they created the Toads because they could more easily adapt Mario's moveset to them as well as Luigi - but Wario and Waluigi would require more effort and, according to Miyamoto, would need to find a way to make Wario fart.

[@SuperMario19981]

"Il Piantissimo" is actually Italian and means something along the lines of "The very plant".Yeah it doesn't make sense even in Italian if that's what you're thinking.

Twisting Dervole You're talking about "pianissimo", not "piantissimo" (I'm Italian, that's why I'm saying this). When you add -issimo/a to a word it means "very x". "Pianta" means plant and "Piantissimo" means something like "Very plant" even if it doesn't exist.

Am I seriously the only one who used the DS's little plastic thumb strip to play with analog controls using the touch screen? I beat the game 100% using this option and was just fine with it.

These things are impossible to get now. But as its controls are emulating an analog stick to begin with it works really well on the 3DS.

I remember playing this game on the go in the car a lot. My dad used to be in the Military, so that meant we moved quite a bit more often than a normal family would. I remember spending hours playing this game in the long car rides from one hotel to another until the battery on the ds would go dead. Such good memories. The times of us moving between states were the rare times I would be allowed to play video games longer than one or two hours. Now I'm an adult and can do whatever I want, but man. This game really brings me back to those times.

It's weird how Goomboss is one of the extremely few times they've let a Paper Mario character; or a character from any of the RPGs for that matter; show up in the "Main" series, aside from Tutankoopa in Mario Pinball and the Star Spirits in Mario Party 5. And I'm still kinda pissed about that. Like, where the fuck is Fawful and Vivian in Mario Kart?! Where the hell is the Mario Odyssey DLC for Rogueport or the BeanBean Kingdom or Flipside or the Shroob World that deserves to exist but never will because Miyamoto doesn't give a shit about what fans like in the worldbuilding (Tho the ruination of Paper Mario is mostly Tanabe's fault from what I can see). Like, I know the only reason Pink Gold Peach; Queen Bee and Funky Kong got into those Kart games was because they had the models on hand, but jesus christ, throw us fans a bone here!

[@lightninstriker10]

I agree with you, they seem so damn desperate at times to add more variety to the cast, but Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach? Really? I mean Wiggler and Lakitu were kind of cool, unexpected surprises in Kart 7, since neither had really had any major presence in... anything Mario aside from the New games. I think about all the cool shit they could do with Paper Mario characters, like Grodus, multiple skins for X-Nauts, I would say Count Bleck or any of the other SPM bad guys but I'm damn sure they would just look... wrong as 3D Models. Meanwhile there are also lots of Donkey Kong characters they could throw in as well! Chunky Kong and King K. Rool would make fantastic heavyweights, furthermore where the hell has Petey Piranha been? Sure, I know it's been years since Sunshine and the Gamecube Era but I miss when he was in damn near everything, it was kind of comical.

[@captaincreepergaming3453]

Fun fact about the first king bob-omb fight is that if you go back to it as Mario, Luigi, or Wario you can still pick him up from behind and beat him that way. Another fun fact is that you can get every star in rainbow ride carpetless with Luigi.

If I remember correctly, they originally wanted you to use the touch pad as an analogue stick since it would be more responsive than the D-pad. There ever was a rubber/plastic thumb protector that game with the original DS/Mario 64DS so you could use the touch screen as a 360 analog stick.

I remember getting this game for my birthday. It was my first Nintendo game ever, and I instantly fell in love with it-playing day and night, even though I sucked pretty hard. Shortly after getting it, my first school year started. And on my first day, I was assigned to go in goostrot with a kind of awkward looking kid I've never talked to before. I asked him if he knew about Mario 64. And as I did, his face lit up like a star. We instantly bonded over it, and became good friends. Now, almost 12 years later.. That guy is still my best friend. With no signs of that changing. Thank you Mario 64 DS, for gifting me a friend for life. And thank you so much for reading my cheesy comment, hope you also enjoyed Mario 64 as much as I did :)

This was the first DS game I played, I love it to this day. I loved using the D-Pad for the controls, and I never had issues with them. The multiple characters was a nice implementation as well imo.

[@MirandaStreeter]

0:29 Unlike what the developers claimed*, the Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask 3DS remakes were not from the ground up. There were very obscure engine specific bugs leftover that could only have been remnants of ported code, and a plethora of evidence contrary to the "ground up" claims. I don't know why the devs made such an easily debunked lie, as if nerds wouldn't comb over every detail. Edit: See reply

[@MirandaStreeter]

Huh, so, the devs never made a statement one way or another? It seems that it's just a really, really common misconception and the popular opinion is that it's from "the ground up". That said, the developers were confronted on the matter and they refused to clarify one way or the other, so that didn't help.

[@EuroMIX2]

The only thing I recall is that the devs patched certain game-breaking bugs in OoT 3D, but made a point to leave some of the less harmful "fun" ones in, supposedly. I'm not an expert on OoT so I couldn't say for sure.

[@MirandaStreeter]

I'm pretty sure they used some type of MIPS to ARM recompilation technique, with maybe some ASM factorization to speed up necessary portions. A lot of it I'm sure had to be completely rewritten, such as the rendering pipeline to accommodate the improved fillrate and framerate and 3D. But the scale of the assets, the physics involved, the scripts used for game logic, it's all 1:1. How so many people assumed it was a from the ground up, entirely new codebase, I figure is half wishful expectations and half technical illiteracy.

[@ryanwilliams76]

Good episode but one thing you missed is that it is possible to do analog-like controls with the touchscreen. When you put the stylus on the touch screen it makes a circle with three colors that correlates to speed, and the moment was dependant on where you move the stylus in the circle. With some practice it was a better option than the d pad, but still inferior to an actual stick.

Seeing back on this, i wish the secret room had something better in it, like if you got opened, any character you’re currently playing would change into an alternate costume.
