Don't stop playing once you get around the grocery store part of the game. The game gets exponentially better after that.

Daisy is Peach's counterpart along the Mario-Luigi axis. Neither has a counterpart along the Mario-Wario axis.

How'd Daisy wind up paired with Luigi, anyway? Luigi wasn't even IN Super Mario Land. Has Luigi ever even been to Daisy's kingdom? Mario flew an airplane... in space, or something, to defeat an alien to save Daisy.

To quote Mario, "Oh! Daisy Daisy"

Then Daisy forgets all about that Mario to hang out with Luigi after tennis matches or whatever

Though not like Mario cares, he apparently is just a princess-saving machine, savin' princesses all across the lands, never stopping

Sidenote: If you go by all the faux-countries in Super Mario Land and all the faux-countries that her Mariokart stages are set in, it's pretty apparent that Daisy's empire is ludicrously huge. Way bigger than Peach's.

What do these princesses do for their kingdoms anyway? Every time I look they're playing tennis or racing go-karts or having a board game night or something. Some rulers they are.

I wonder how Bowser runs his kingdom? I mean you'd think since he's the villain he'd be like a dictator but I think all his minions like working for him. They probably get good benefits.

What does the Queen of England do? For all I can figure out, she collects corgis and goes to events to give English newspapers a reason to be outraged that some person/world leader didn't follow the exact weird English etiquette of what you can and can't do around the lady that collects corgis.

He comes off like a dick but he's just a very stern ruler who expects results, but also rewards competence.

He seems like a loser but that's because you only see it from Mario's perspective. I bet he's pretty successful at running a kingdom overall.

Bowser's also a single father of eight kids. He's constantly worked to the (dry) bone but he still finds the time to build an entire amusement park world for his subjects.

Ganon's a great ruler as long as you're loyal to him. Plus he has a better success rate.

Ridley just gets your rear end shot though. No win, no benefit, just shot.

Have you not seen his rather impressive set of forts and castles? He's got highways, armadas, armies, public transportation systems, tons of stuff.

Daisy seems much more "Peach's doubles partner" than "Luigi's girlfriend". I think if Rosalina had come along sooner she would've been Peach's tennis/doubledash partner and Daisy would be forgotten in the past. Especially now that Luigi has fully transitioned from "another Mario" to "bizarre weirdo".

Much like the jews, he has a main fortress with high walls with his people populating territories where people don't want them because they try to hoard the floating gold coins. Mario is the embodiment of Hamas. This is canon.

He does the same in Mario 3. What ever happened to those other rulers he transformed into animals, anyway? Were they casualties of the apparent, on-going Mushroom Kingdom land wars?

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Captain Syrup is Wa-Peach, but instead of needing to be rescued they take turns stealing large piles of money from each other.

I don't think it would be fair for Peach to have a space god as her doubles partner

Like, Rosalina could miss a shot, then decide to restart the universe to create a timeline in which she makes the shot

It's just not fair to the other team

I finally got around to watching the E3 treehouse video for Yoshi's Wooly World, and I didn't realize how cool it looks until now.

Also, I loving hate those two girls they've had on the various treehouse events. The blonde one especially so. She like goes out of her way to be a living stereotype.
