That 6.9.2026 Nintendo Direct was the worst one of all time. Not a single Mario game. A passing mention of Mario in Bananza? Get M or get out.
Mario's what put Nintendo on the map. They'd be inconsequential otherwise. Without him, they're nothing, but with him, they're everything
Big news: Takashi Tezuka is retiring from Nintendo.
Tezuka, along with Miyamoto and Yokoi, is one of the fathers of Mario, having designed Super Mario Bros. and directed Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and Super Mario 64, involved to present day. He will be greatly missed!

"What's up, Marioroni?"

@Shazz1_ He deleted his post that the above one replied to. Basically, he said that he understands that the game Mario and movie Mario are not the exact same, which isn't what I said. Deleting a post is admitting defeat. Long live Mario!
Although frenemies at best, Mario does genuinely care about Bowser and doesn't like hurting him or others. The movie nailed this.
Mario is compassionate.
@Shazz1_ Strawman argument. Yes, the movie Mario is different in some respects. My point is that Mario is compassionate and kind, which originated with Mario's official 1992 character manual (see "Tolerant"). Both the games AND the films strictly follow this. https://t.co/Mdzh5QiTEr
