So, Super Mario Sunshine's final boss?

[RedAuthar]

Except it's Water...and Peach ain't there.

Its super Mario X, where mario eats magic pasta to defeat the evil bowser! With trusty Luigi by his side, he can accomplish anything, teaching children their abcs and throwing bowser down holes full of mattresses! Save the princess and get the lie...I mean the cake!

[RedAuthar]

Yup.

[Reed Teran]

Yeah, I've lost all. Respect for 4kids after this stuff....ill stick with Toei and my own work, thank you.

Luigi, lets-a eat a magic mushroom pasta so we can become bigger to defeat Bowser!
But mario, why not eating a fire flower spicy pizza so we can shoot-a fireballs spicy balls?

I'm not sure Mario and Luigi have ever eaten fire flowers. In the cartoons (which are admittedly non-canon these days) they just gained the powers by touching them. I also had a couple of children's books where fire flowers basically acted as flamethrowers -- you carry them around and the fire comes out of them. But I don't recall ever seeing them eat one.

[RedAuthar]

Some people say Mario and Luigi spit fire balls after gaining fire power, some say they throw them.

The Nintendo Adventure Books have them do both.

If they spit them, I think it would make more sense to be eaten.

[furrykef]

The "spit" theory would make a lot more sense if Mario and Luigi didn't move their arms whenever they threw them.

[Reed Teran]

But luigi has "lightning balls" according to many instruction books and manuals! That's moar confusing!

Yeah but people still believe they hit their heads on the blocks to break them even though they've used their hands since the first game.

Is it wrong if I like what 4kids did to Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh?

How come Mario never got a new cartoon, anyway? Super Mario World was way back in 1991. That's before AoStH and SatAM even aired!

One of the big reasons I believe is because that cartoon was absolutely atrocious.

The episodes were repetitive and boring(teaching the brainless cave people how to do stuff for example) the voice acting was beyond laughable. And worse yet, every single episode included a horrid, nail on the chalkboard musical number

I swear, the guy who did the main lead for those songs made me disgusted enough to want to rip out his tongue. He was THAT BAD at singing. Be as that may though, when Super Mario RPG came out back in 1996, I thought they might make an animated show from it since it was such a blockbuster of a game.

Of course, looking back on it, I'm glad they didn't. It'd probably be worse than the Donkey Kong Country show, knowing Mario's luck in cartoon business.

[RedAuthar]

As a kid the very few episodes I saw were great.

Looking back now not so much.

But Sonic Underground also suffered from nail-on-chalkboard songs and bad voice acting. They still made more Sonic cartoons.

[furrykef]

Yeah, and Sonic X is around when Sega started making bad Sonic games, too. Their judgment is not the best.

Actually, Sonic X came out about a year before Sonic's downward spiral which is Sonic Heroes(2004). Which ironically, that gave me permanent interest on the Sonic franchise thanks to the re introduction of the Chaotix. Not that I bought the game. I seen Sonic before in trailers of SatAM and AoStH in VHS and snipets of Sonic X, but it didn't gave me permanent interest.

[RedAuthar]

Again Sonic X has flaws...but quite a few of those flaws are because the guy translating never played the games, watched the cartoons, or read the comics. So things came across weird sometimes because it was outta character or just plain stupid.

That and Sonic had a laid back not caring personality for 90 percent of the show.

[RedMenace]

That was rather irksome. Even with the poor translation, I would've enjoyed it more had Sonic not been an indifferent douche most of the time.

[RedAuthar]

Other then Chris I think that had to be the biggest problem.

Sonic rarely seemed to care one way or the other. Never really got mad, sad, happy, he was always bored.

The irony is, I also liked cartoon during my childhood. I find that quite odd looking back on that.

But Sonic Underground also suffered from nail-on-chalkboard songs and bad voice acting. They still made more Sonic cartoons.

At least SU's singers though were more tolerable to listen to. Yea, they were pretty bad, don't get me wrong, but the main lead who did the songs for the Super Mario World was just horrible.

Like this one for example Ugh! Makes you want to grind your teeth.

Sonic rarely seemed to care one way or the other. Never really got mad, sad, happy, he was always bored.

I noticed that too. Even Tails alot of the time acted like he didn't give a crap about stuff. When he saw Sonic was frozen in space, he just shrugged his shoulders basically about it, not once ever thinking he might be seriously hurt.

[furrykef]

When I was a kid, I actually liked SMW the most out of the Mario shows. Now that I'm an adult, I'm a bit mystified by how I liked any of them.
