Lack of Mario vs Sonic (Character Battles): Honestly, I'm not opposed to this. Setting up Link vs Cloud is one thing, setting up Mario vs Crono is one thing... Setting up Mario vs Sonic? I don't know. It would feel like a compulsion, like we just need to get it out of the way. And why? Why honestly bother? You know perfectly well that Mario would just SFF Sonic into oblivion. rSFF is barely a real thing. It's POSSIBLY changed the course of a significant match exactly once ever, in 2005, when Mario was doing worse than Samus indirectly for three years, then absolutely destroyed her when they met. You can argue Tifa beating Sephiroth in 2018, maybe. Neither of those matches are clearcut, inarguable cases. Like, yes, Mario vs Sonic, the classic rivalry, we all know about it. And if the character contests were held in like 1994, it would be a serious discussion. But even back in 2002, Mario had already clearly won their rivalry. It was already long since over, I'm sorry, and throwing them against each other in a contest would just result in a massacre, and everyone knows it. So yes, I actually support this possible? decision.

Peach's Castle: It's a very fairytale-looking castle. I won't lie, it's a little narcissistic of Peach to decorate the front with a stained glass window of herself, but I guess she's a princess, she's allowed to do things like that. Why this castle exists in a green field by itself, far away from the subjects I presume she rules over, is a mystery. Perhaps Peach's role is purely ceremonial, and the Toads wanted to keep her away from the main Toad city so she can't meddle in their politics. I guess that's contradicted by Mario RPG, where the castle is clearly in the main Toad city, but you can probably argue that those are different continuities. We know at least that Paper Mario is definitely a different continuity. God, what's that one German castle that inspired every fairytale castle ever? You see real castles from the medieval ages, and they are not as cool as these kinds.

Hurly Gloves: A great idea conceptually. Mario and Bowser working together... barely. Bowser still getting out some of his anger by chucking Mario at some unlucky enemy. What I don't understand, and what I've never understood, is why Mario's place in the battle is taken by a tiny Mario doll while he's picked up by Bowser. The doll doesn't do anything, and when Bowser's turn is over, Mario returns to his normal place, and the doll disappears. It can't be a software thing, like "there needs to be something in Mario's place," because you could just have it be an invisible sprite. I don't understand this at all. And the fact that Bowser throws the doll if Mario is unconscious, it would be funnier if he still just threw Mario.

Autumn Mountain Battle Theme: I am told by someone who shall remain nameless that Origami King is okay. I can believe that's true. Anyway, this is a much better Japan theme than the Sammer Guy one. It's perfectly good, I like it well enough. Not the best Mario battle music of all time, though.

Mario/Sonic Rivalry: This was a fun source of debates in the playground, but I'll level with you: even at Sonic's height, he was far below Mario. His games are just worse. The best Sonic platformer is worse than Super Mario Sunshine. His mechanics don't translate to 3D at all, and they barely function in 2D. I don't need to repeat a million youtubers' correct assessment that Sonic games incentivize you to take things slowly to avoid hitting enemies, but tell you to go fast. Sonic is superior to Mario only in one way, which is memes, because he's so much lamer. Every modern Sonic game involves Sonic traveling to the dimension where his other dimensional duplicate doesn't speak so you can relive the good old days, but the good old days are still worse than SMW! This was never a rivalry, anymore than Arnold Schwarzenegger vs Sylvester Stallone was. One of them is clearly superior to the other, and that's simply that.

Stealing Stars with Boo: Diabolic. Anyone who does this is evil. I do it, of course. It's one of the most effective ways to turn around a game. I'm almost a little surprised that they still use Boos for this. Like, you could easily use Nabbit or something, but no, they've used Boos since the 90s, and they use Boos today.

Mario Tennis: Power Tour: I have an important story about this game. One time, I was playing it in the playground during recess. My friends James and Thomas were sitting at the table with me, talking. James was like "did you hear that Jennifer broke up with David," and before Thomas could respond, I yelled "What?! That's bullshit!" because something happened in the game that annoyed me. Then they laughed. Wait a second, who the hell are these characters? Clay? Ace? Mason? Chad? Why are there so many no-name human characters? And why does one look exactly like Chun-Li?

Wiggler: To me, Wigglers are one of the two definitive "let's show off the console's new powerful technology" enemies. Wigglers are more complicated than any enemy on the NES, with multiple parts to them, the head having different properties from the body, and two different modes (normal and angry). The other definitive enemy like this is that one stretchy arm guy from Resident Evil: Code Veronica, post its name if you know it because I don't, where his gimmick is that he can stretch his arm to travel up to and down from a balcony, and you were supposed to be like "oh my god, the Dreamcast is the most advanced console ever," but actually were like "wow, that is the least scary thing of all time." Anyway, leave it to Nintendo to make a caterpillar enemy where it never turns into a butterfly as a mechanic. Like, I can so easily imagine that you have to, I don't know, jump on its head, and it goes into a cocoon, and then you throw fire at it, and it emerges into a butterfly and gives you a bonus item or something.
