I'm sick of the dude.

As much as Mario is the symbol of Nintendo, they really need a new character to build on.

I just hope they never pimp out Link too much.  While the Legend of Zelda series has always been one of Nintendo's biggies, I enjoyed it more when the series wasn't as over exposed as its become since the N64 days.

I haven't played a Mario game in a long time but I have nothing against Mario. I do want to get Mario Party 8.

I agree, I'm thinking about picking mario party 8 up this week.

well i dont mind him at all, i think the Mario party games can be very good and even though its got some problems i am defiantly getting Mario party 8.

In fact sad as it sounds i like game company mascots, Sonic is still a good character its just a shame that hes bee in far too  may shit games lately.

None of the options in the poll really applied for me. I still play Mario 3 and Mario World and I enjoy them as much now as I did then. Same goes for Paper Mario. Mario games are hit and miss for me, don't care for SMB1 or SM64 and Diddy Kong Racing is better IMO.  ;)

I could care less if mario is in the game or not.

It seems like i am more likely to suffer thru a shitty game these days than a good one....

I'm not adverse to playing SMB 3. I'm extremely unlikely to be playing a newer game with him since I have none of his systems.

As long as it's a good game, I dont care.

yes I do. sure he is rather oversaturated but that's okay. I'm sure there's no end in sight for future Mario games too.

I won't buy a game just because it has Mario in it, but I will buy a game if I think I'll like it, regardless of whether he's in it or not.

i play the old mario games quite a bit.

I dont care if it's got Mario in it as long as the game is fun.  If Nintendo was to release a game based around Iron Chef and it stared Mario I'd get it if I thought it was something I'd enjoy.  If they made a Mortal Kombat clone that stared Mario, I'd probly get it just for the ability to fatality Luigi.

Now that would be funny! I wonder if we could design a MK Armageddon look-alike for Mario. Have his fatality be a plunger stick to rip someone's face off...8)

If you need a reminder as to why Mario is still relevent, play Super Paper Mario. One of the best games I've played in a while.

What the **** is your problem with Mario phoenix? If it's a solid game just play it. Do you have some inferiority complex in which you must play a game with a macho man or something?

I still play SMB, SMB3, Super Mario World, Mario Kart.  I don't care that he is the main character. If the game is good I play it. And it's hard to play too many Nintendo games without some sort of mario character or reference.
Golf, Mike Tysons Punchout, Donkey Kong, Etc. etc. etc,

THERE IS EVEN A MARIO IN THE ZELDA SERIES. Does anyone know where he is. HA HA HA

It is called too much of him.

Agreed. I've been playing Super Paper Mario & Mario Party 8 like a madman. Hopefully they will add a Mario Kart soon.

It's just Mario overkill I guess. Maybe it'll pass. Maybe it won't. I do applaud Nintendo for making Wii Sports a game without a Mario, though. ;D

i was very surprised wii sports did not have the mari cast

Tarin's dad was turned into a raccoon in the woods in Link's Awakening.  When returned to his normal form this fellow has an uncanny resemblence of our Italian plumber friend.  Not to mention a lot of other Mario enemies that show up on the side scrolling parts of the game.  There's a Princess Peach easter egg too.

I still love all the old classic games with Mario and Co. in them.

If it's a good game I will play it, unless it is a Paper Mario game. I have loved the whole Paper Mario series, but Super Paper Mario wasn't that great. It was ok, but the switching between 2-D and 3-D wore off pretty quick. It was still a fun game though.

That's what I like about the game. You have to keep switching back and forth or you'll miss a hidden passageway, coins, baddie, etc. This makes the game longer, at least for me. Did you beat it? How long did it take you? Right now my wife and I are on Chapter 3-3 and we've played approx. 7 hours if I remember correctly. Not sure how many hours on average it takes to complete it.

Note to self in free time create Nintendo look alikes if possible.
