shinmai posted:Am I crazy or does the music in Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy change tempo according to how fast the player is moving. When I played the game I thought it just happened to sync up at times (I guess you don't always pay that much attention to little details like that when wrangling with bullshit motion control gimmickery) but looking at the video it seems to sync up pretty much all the time. If it actually does follow the players velocity, it's another one of those cool little details I love about the Galaxy games. You're not crazy.

"Marry-o" is how my dad always pronounced it. We all knew it was wrong but didn't even think to correct it. He was from Jersey too, and it just sounded right.

Boos puzzle the hell out of me. What *are* they? Are they the spirits of the deceased? But why would a Goomba become a Boo? Or a Toad? Would Mario become a Boo if he died? Do you always become a Boo, or does something have to cause you to transform into one. Boos have their own society and culture and seem to forge individual identities revolving around their Boo-bodies--does this mean they don't remember being alive? Or maybe they're just another species of creature that just happens to be ghost-like? If a Boo ate a 1-up mushroom, would it die? If a Boo dies, what happens to it? Where does it go? Is there Mario heaven? What is Mario hell? Is there a Mushroom God? If Mario only eats mushrooms, cake and various flowers, why is he so fat? How many Boos could dance on the head of a pin?

Boos aren't ghosts, don't be ridiculous and slightly, unintentionally racist. Seriously, we've seen more non-Boo ghost characters in Mario than we've seen proof that Boos are ghosts. At this point I've just assumed that Boos are ghost-like, but not actually ghosts, that sometimes hang out with actual ghosts.

Boos are Boos. You might as well ask what exactly Goombas or Toads are. They're things that exist in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Ghost Goombas exist in Super Mario Land 2 anyways. I think they take the place of Eeries.

The Wind Fish also dreams of them in Legend of Zelda, and as Shy Guys first appeared in Subcon that means that you can emigrate from and immigrate to the land of dreams in Mario.

Boos are an entirely separate spectral species. There are actual ghosts and then there are Boos. There was a toad's spirit haunting a train in Paper Mario:TTYD for example. Least I'm PRETTY sure that Boos exist as a separate entity.

It's also worth noting that Mario has never seen the vast majority of Boos he's run into because they turn invisible when he looks at them. We, the player, are the only people who can see most Boos. All Mario ever knows of most Boos is the cackling they make and sudden death from behind.

We, the player, are the only people who can see most Boos. All Mario ever knows of most Boos is the cackling they make and sudden death from behind. Well that's mainly the case with Super Mario 64; in most Mario games Boos don't turn invisible when you look at them, and just cover their face. This goes for both before and after Super Mario 64. But the rules of Boos change from time to time, and nothing is really set in stone as something that a Boo needs to do to be considered a normal Boo. In fact there's one Boo in New Super Mario Bros. 2 that is the exception to most of the "rules" of boos. The giant boo who shows up infrequently throughout the game will cover it's face when you look at it, but after a couple of seconds will just peek at you again and start moving towards you in you keep staring at it. But anyway, that's probably enough about Boos for now.

Re: the goomba thing, yeah. They're supposed to be chestnuts, not mushrooms. That's why they looked so different in Super Mario World, but I guess it confused somebody, somewhere to the point Nintendo decided to make them look more like mushrooms again later. Who knows, really.
