10lbs bag of popcorn is my favourite tovg character

[@Jethwright]

We need him in Asagao Academy 2, MAKE IT HAPPEN

[@superanimeniac]

when 10lb bag of popcorn is gone, it will be a true LOSS to tovg.

[@myrothiosthegullible6315]

I love how PBG just trashed Mario Party 8 and then Jirard is like “I love it”

[@Nafon]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@caaltaes732]

Different people, different tastes. Still like PBG though

[@BartmanBegins]

In which video did PBG trashed Mario Party 8? Just curious about it.

[@Cl04d]

U do know u can try to look for ur self?

[@zjzr08]

It's a pretty polarizing edition from what I see -- either they like the grounded aesthetic and the motion control games, or they are not fond of the look change from cartoony, and overrealiance on those controls.

[@GmodPlusWoW]

Oh my. Waluigi got to be a villain once? HELL YEAH. He still deserves his own game. Or at least another go as a number one villain. "Okay. I can see that I am going to have to train you how to be... PLUMBERS!"

[@darkdrake0389]

GmodPlusWoW he was the main villain in one of the Mario Party games too iirc

[@kylewynn3147]

9:53 Good to see you and popcorn are still going strong Jirard. Hope you guys live happy FILLING lives.

[@TheBattlechicken]

Executer 66 can't you see it?! Bag of popcorn will get more and more empty as time goes on, until it's a shell of its former self. Then Jirard will get a younger bag of popcorn and repeat the cycle over and over again! Jirard, you monster! #FreePopcorn

Someone explain?

[@meowserthegamingkoopa1862]

11:08 JIRARD PLEASE

[@firefalco_]

My favorite Mario spin-off game is Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. My favorite Mario Kart game is Mario Kart: Double Dash.

[@theresastarmanwaitinginthe5149]

Power Tennis was the shit. That game was so good and that intro man. Still good after all these years.

[@Vpark117]

“Take this, Mr. Eyeballs!”

[@Ian-bf4yk]

I have to disagree I found the controls.

[@HavelsRing96]

There's a starman waiting in the sky how do you not have 300+ likes yet lol

[@rarm5899]

My favorite Mario spinoff is probably Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story Damnit Jirard, “Superstar Saga” is not part of the franchise title. It’s just Mario & Luigi!

[@one_thin_boi1826]

I agree. *play the Yoda clip*

[@Dragoonnight]

I’d really love a strikers charged sequel at some point!

[@ThatOneVideoGamer]

it would crush it

[@Dragoonnight]

The Completionist Agreed and thanks for liking my post, it means a lot to come from an awesome dood like yourself!

[@BrendanJSmith]

Well we got it! But at what cost?

[@natetwooi991]

Finally, somebody else likes Mario Party 8!

[@bunnyhopgaming943]

Nate Twoo Its actually my favorite. But I think Super Mario Party will take its place as my favorite.

[@Poever]

I feel most people don’t

[@pokejoseph]

I love 8 alongside DS as the best Mario Party games in my opinion

[@graydeotto2820]

I grew up playing 8, especially the hotel board, it's probably my favourite

[@elimulvihill4126]

For me (only 1 per series so it's not dominated by RPGs) it's probably: 10. Mario Power Tennis 9. Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker 8. Mario Super Sluggers 7. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze 6. Mario Party 7 5. WarioWare: Smooth Moves 4. Mario Strikers Charged 3. Super Mario Maker 2. Mario Kart 8 1. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

[@TheUndefeatedOfTheEast]

Lyon Cobalt Tropical freeze? Is that a spin-off Mario?

[@johnconrad3122]

Mario super sluggers was actually amazing, I feel like everyone has forgotten about it.

[@gold571]

Where is Bowser’s inside story?

[@thunderchild1083]

I found your channel about 3 months ago and have pretty much binge watched all your videos. The scripts are tight, the balance between game clips and Jirads screen time is just right also he’s the perfect host for the channel. The completionist is now one of my favourite KZbin channels keep up the good work guys. PS from one beardy to another, love the face fuzz buddy

[@TheGoldenBolt]

Man, I just LOVE me some Mario Golf! I will say I prefer MK8 to Double Dash, though - DD was never my cup of tea. I'm surprised Mario Tennis didn't really show up here, though, that and Golf were my guilty pleasures as a kid! (My buddy TokenGeek just had me on as a guest for his review of Aces _today_ actually, good timing!) Also, please keep popcorn around forever.

[@athosrobinson6368]

11:07 IS THIS *L O S S*

[@KellyJoule]

Finally, a POSITIVE review of Mario Party 8!!! People always lump it in with 9 and 10 and that's so messed up, Mario Party 8 was a big part of my childhood and I KNEW it wasn't a bad game!!!

[@trod146]

Kelly Joule it's entirely possible you only think it's good because it was part of your childhood. Nostalgia goggles, Kelly. That's a thing. I used to think that tenchi muyo was a good anime for nearly a decade, then I watched it as an adult without my goggles...

[@KellyJoule]

Timothy Rodowicz Believe me, I am aware at how nostalgia can effect your critical perception of a game. What I meant by that is that I CHOSE to play that game over and over by myself and with my friends because it was really good!!! There were so many unique board options and 80% of the minigames were legitimately fun! It was a crazy fun Mario Party game and I know it wasn't just nostalgia telling me that.

[@cruzmedina8287]

Kelly Joule are you gonna get the new one coming out for the switch Kelly?

[@TigerYoshiki]

Very awesome video! There's a serious need for all those Top 10 videos. Keep them coming.

[@heamac]

I always enjoy these "Top 10" lists... learning new bits of trivia, hearing about games I didn't know about, it's just so much fun!!

[@Mars_over_seer]

I feel like Super Mario RPG deserves a remake. They could make new sprites like Super Star Saga did.

[@MrAl360]

MysteriousM I’d be down for that. But Square-enix owns most of the characters, so they’d need to get their okay. Nintendo and Square have a good relationship now right?

[@ddub1253]

LuchaDandy I'm sure they do for specific business. I imagine its like being civil with your ex spouse after court which sum ppl can be. while you might get extra time with kids or extra days or whatnot ur not gunna go to your ex and start asking about his/her new life. they'll cut you off mid sentence and keep you only relatable to yours' past. I imagine itd be the same between square and nintendont. certain things are agreed upon and certain things will be laughed at or met with resistance or hostility as you cross that line

[@ddub1253]

how about just a new one? like a 3d rpg not like oddyssey but sorta bigger scale with a little less accessibility and exploration

[@crestofhonor2349]

MysteriousM if they were to remake it I’d like to see hand drawn overworlds and sprites instead of 3D. I think it would suite the game much better than full 3d

[@oscarzxn4067]

The original was made with pre render 3D graphics, so I think it would be better to make it with real 3D graphics this time.

[@MissFuzzbottom]

Gotta show that Double Dash love, because Nintendo doesn't.

[@jaycup1487]

Erika Fuzzbottom exactly my regards

[@BabusGameRoom]

Awesome top ten! I learned about some games I've never heard of, I got to see some game footage and hear opinions on games I know less about, and I also saw my favourite spin-off(s) at number 1! Super Mario RPG blows my mind to this day. It's probably the best RPG on the SNES when it comes to game play, and it's probably the best-looking game on the console. It's super nostalgic for me, and it still holds up to this day.

[@FlobinGoblin]

The “Flying Mario Head” always gets a chuckle out of me, great video!

Elias 66 I don’t get it

[@chrisjfinlay]

Jackr Mcmannerson It's a reference to ctrl-alt-delete, a gaming webcomic that also featured a "slice of life" segment on occasion featuring a ridiculous author-insertion man-child whose girlfriend becomes pregnant throughout the storyline. And then has a miscarriage. Yep. A somewhat humourous, goofy webcomic worked in a miscarriage plotline. The episode of the webcomic was titled "Loss", and featured no dialogue. The lines represent the positioning of the main characters in each frame. | = Ethan running into the hosptial || = Ethan speaking to the hospital receptionist || = Ethan speaking to the doctor |_ = Ethan standing over his girlfriend, who's lying on the hospital bed in the fetal position crying It was one of the biggest "WTF is this guy actually thinking" moments in webcomic history and has recently become a meme.

[@chrisjfinlay]

+Jackr Mcmannerson not sure if this works for tagging you in replies or not...

[@parkermae]

I really enjoyed watching this video, Jirard! Even though I don't play platform games, cuz I suck, I love the Mario universe and your passion for these games.

[@Lukethefox]

Mario Kart: Double Dash was my first ever Mario Kart game which i got for xmas in 2003. Seeing that footage brought back memories!

[@oofster15]

HOW DARE U NOT PUT MARIO SUPERSTAR BASEBALL ON THIS LIST

[@josiahtheawkward6008]

I LOVE Mario Super Sluggers

[@shatteredtimelord]

Thanks for the video Jirard. Great editing on this.

[@quag311]

What a creative video! That Man on Fire gag was hysterical. Top Tens are boss.

[@Son-Michael]

11:08 You actually did. YOU MANIAC!

[@ELFKanginFan]

I really hope Jirard do what he said about the office playing Mario Party AND streaming it, and I hope it's not all the guys except him, like they usually do :S

[@andreasgonzales5526]

I remember DDR Mario Mix with my family growing up. Thank you Jirard for bringing back all the wonderful memories of Mario. :)

[@deogenz]

So many good memories from the gamecube!!! This video reminds me how fortunate we are to be in the age of Nintendo!!! Quality list Jirard.

[@JustinY.]

Why isn't Knack 2 on this list?

[@praisesaintglory]

*because that aint a anime*

[@kinanschannel6016]

I think Jirard likes Mario and Jared. I don't know why. I just have a feeling.

[@brycevo]

Thank you for the ♥️, Jirard! Maybe you should play a Mario game with Jared.

[@ryanmulligan1922]

Seeing TB made me a sadboi. I loved the video, Jirard. It's always wonderful to hear your thoughts on these kinda wacky and unique spin-offs. Some of these games I didn't even know existed. Keep it up, brotha!

[@Dj-zl2sn]

nice puns on the ddr game always a good time watching you

[@thegamepad1671]

Not play Mario DDR for the story? The story is like the best part.

[@LinkDawnbringer]

I beg to differ, one thing stands taller than the rest. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ7CYYOYdtuDers Best part of the whole freaking game it's just AMAZING Though the announcer does kinda get in the way of the music

[@FrostShaggy]

I thought your selections were great. Haven't played some of them, but totally agree with your number 1. You're the man, Jirard. Oh, and thanks for recognizing me as a top fan on Facebook. I'll cherish that badge, always, hahaha.

[@ulrichsworld2868]

Your DDR skills are on point, I'd love to see a dance off between you and my friend. He's a little on the heavier side, but he can move while he's playing DDR, dunno how he does it. Lol

[@ameliadavidson360]

AND YES! YES! YES! My favorite Mario game of ALL TIME made it to your number one on here!

[@RyukoDragonHalf]

I might be one of about 5 other people on the planet who ever really enjoyed Mario is Missing on the SNES.. XD I wasn't great at fast-paced action games, so I loved the chill vibe, music, and style of that one! And, being a fan of Carmen Sandiego at the time, learning more about geography was a big perk! Heck, I'd probably play through it again and have a super relaxing enjoyable time today! Great list! Thanks for sharing!

[@twunvy]

11:07 I'm just trying to sit here have a good time, *and you just gonna play me like this?*

[@ThatOneVideoGamer]

I love this response!

[@darkflame4392]

11:08 omgg why do I get this

[@TimAllen624]

This is a a pretty solid list. It was a good idea to lump all the Mario RPGs together. They would have taken up most of the list for me.

[@unlimitedbitsgaming]

I replayed that Mario head flying and going NNNNNG like six times because I can't believe how hilarious it is. And how had I never heard of the Mario Typing games before this video?! That's insane. But god, what a fun way to find out they're a thing.

[@TeamDusk215]

No Mario Tennis?...No...Mario...TENNIS! Have you no SOUL, Jirard!? Did Ultra Smash hurt you so much that you denounced the entire series? I demand you complete Mario Tennis Power Tour to make up for this blasphemy! "I hate the fact that I apparently need to say this, but I'm just exaggerating for fun. But seriously. Mario Tennis is great and he should totally play Power tour. It's both an rpg and a tennis game with story! What more do you want?

[@timshel11]

Team Dusk c’mon, if he had included Mario Tennis, he wouldn’t have been able to include the best spinoff, Mario Teaches Typing. I’m a little surprised this list didn’t include the old Mario themed board game.

[@BasedReda]

[@loohole81]

I would love to see a Mario Monster Hunter spin off, where Mario and the gang hunt down Bowser and the Koopalings. A Mario Resident Evil spin off could be interesting, where the Mushroom Kingdom turn to zombies and Mario has to survive, imagine Mario using a Nintendo Zapper on zombie Luigi, that would be crazy.

[@ThatOneVideoGamer]

I would not put it past Nintendo

[@FizzyK-45]

My list: 1. Mario RPG 2. Mario Paint 3. Mario Maker 4. Mario and Sonic at the Olympics Games 5. Mario Kart 8 6. Mario Party 2 7. Mario Tennis 8. Mario Super Strikers 9. Warioware Smooth Moves 10. Yoshi's Woolly World

[@nicholasgallagher2225]

I'm happy you gave Super Star Saga a shout out. It's definitely my favorite. I really wish that the characters from that game could make appearances in other spin offs.

[@Shark-Fist]

Super glad to see Strikers Charged on this list! It's an underrated game with a criminally underrated soundtrack. Shout out to Toad's theme in particular, he does not deserve a track that funky.

[@shawnshock8651]

I like the Mario RPG's more than the mainline games

One of mine is the original N64 Mario Tennis games. It was probably the most pure version you could find with very little extra power-ups, but this thing had the best soundtrack of ANY Mario sports game. Especially the credits song.

[@pokefrekhi9781]

Grate list and also fun to know that Mario party 8 was his favorite

[@Citizenryan82]

Thanks for another great video 😁

[@K1ngEDiaz]

Oh hey! I also used Baby Mario and Paratroopa as my go-to in Double Dash! Nice pick!

[@wheskeraustere5642]

Mario Party 1 was my favorite. Actually tons of fun stuff to do in solo mode with a story and collect 100 stars. Wii Strikers was a blast improved upon the 1st one in an epic way and even had great use of motion controls allowing you to be your own super shot blocking goalie

[@Artista_Frustrado]

Mario & Sonic at the Olympics is also pretty good overall, that series has a ton of atention to detail, also you get to see both Eggman & Bowser gracefully doing Rythmic Gymnastics

[@Luc_ienn]

not to dump it so hard sorry but: TL;DR great video thanks for talking about everything in it and its history, and very funny! good job. I love this whole video so much Jirard; the spinoff Mario games always stick with me the hardest and I have such fond memories of each one I've played. I mostly agree about your #1, but I havent actually really played much of Super Mario RPG so my #1 is all the other Mario RPGs i've played. I really love the Mario & Luigi games, yknow? Partners in Time, man! Not talked about enough IMO. I like it more than Paper Mario 2, (I like Super Paper Mario more though) so it's good.

[@chanceaaronblack2792]

Thoroughly enjoyed!

[@themidnightotaku22]

I can’t really scream at you, those were some great choices based on your personal preference. Mario Party 8 is also my favorite party game of all time &, although I have never played Legend of the Seven Stars in my entire life, the greatness of both future RPG series can’t be relegated to just one spot on a list of general topic spin-offs.

[@robotheadentertainment]

Great episode, but we need more of 10Ibs bag of popcorn!

Even my friends that hated racers hopped on board for that one just to punch the crap out of people from the back. Four player Tournament was the best! Bowser and Peach was my favorite combo! Both for items and... character reasons.

Came just to see if you put the correct game at #1. I was not disappointed. You may live another day.

Mario RPG will always have a special place in my heart. Such a fantastic game

Mario DDR was part of my childhood. I had the dance pad and played it so many times. It's also what made me like Waluigi.
