A lot of Kingdoms managed to not have their monarch kidnapped by bigger ones. In fact it was pretty rare because you had to be pretty incompetent for it to happen

Seems you just need to be a lot more powerful with more advanced tech. USA never much hesitated to go in somewhere with a weak government and kill or kidnap whoever they wanted. This whole country built on the corpses of princess peaches and toads who didn't stand a chance against biological warfare and steel and guns. Lot of South America as well were/are kind of playgrounds for foreign governments, just these days monarchies are out of fashion but plenty of ways to bully and usurp authority from weaker nations.

Putin's a big bowser too.

Really the Mushroom Kingdom just has the power and influence of your average rainforest tribal structure and mario comes in every once in a while to kind of stave off the inevitable and try and maintain the mushroom kingdom national park of sorts.

In the case of Daisy, her kidnapping was also from a literal space alien who hypnotized the large majority of Sarasaland into being his minions. Just a complete hostile takeover from outer space.

And if you take the original Super Mario Bros. manual at face value then all those blocks you destroy during the game are actually transformed Mushroom Kingdom citizens.

how often has any Satelliview poo poo been rereleased lol

The Satellaview-exclusive interquel between Fire Emblems 1 and 3 was included in the remake of FE3 that never made it to the US. That's the only other example I'm aware of.


Also, I'm mainly posting to vent how completely blown away I am that Live A Live, of all games, is getting a fully-voiced remake. Like, for how good it is, the game's practically unknown, so seeing it get not just a remaster, but getting totally redone in a new engine and everything is amazing. Hoping there'll be an option to choose which voices to use, because both casts sound great (not sure who they have on the English side, but the Japanese voice cast is pretty stacked with talent, too). Also sorta hoping there's an option to use the original SNES soundtrack. I'm sure the new arrangements will be great, but Yoko Shimomura really outdid herself with the original tracks, too.

Also, not sure if anyone pointed it out, but the Chrono Cross remaster apparently is going to include an option to make the font all pixel-y, like it was back on the PS1. I appreciate that, because the super-smooth fonts used for SE's various remakes/remasters is always pretty jarring, honestly. Doesn't look right to have the pixel graphics with perfect HD lettering.

Can’t see all Super Mario Kart courses make it in. They’re simpler and have similar themes.

There are 4 Mario Circuits and 3 Bowser’s castles in the original.

The Satellaview is a cool old thing. Classic Nintendo and their habit of making gimmick hardware.

Super Mario Kart has a lot of redundant tracks being the first game and the fact that it's on the SNES, so I don't expect to see multiple variants of a track from SMK to appear (like Donuts Plain 1 or 2). They'll likely just stick with a single variant if they decide to add a track from it.

Similarly, I think they'll only add one Bowser's Castle from Super Circut if they decide to add it, as there's four in the game.

Aside from that, I don't think Moo Moo Farm from 64 will appear, since Moo Moo Meadows is already in

It made a bit of a splash as one of the higher-profile fan translations by Aeon Genesis. In particular, they added the special touch of having the font change for each chapter to look genre-appropriate. Also of note is the each chapter's characters were designed by a different manga artist of the time (the only one people would likely know offhand is that the creator of Detective Conan, AKA Case Closed, did the designs for the Ninja chapter).

Yapping Eevee did an LP of it, for those who want to take a look and don't mind spoilers.
