ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A BUNCH OF AUTISTIC FAGGOTS

…Who enjoyed Mario Role-Playing Games. They basked in the warm glow of the Mushroom World seen in those games, of good storytelling, cheeky humor, creative gameplay, and ample worldbuilding. Best among these diversions were the Paper Mario games. Complexity and darkness beyond the bounds of usual Plumber fare entertained the players for many sleepless moons, and characters would be remembered long after the screen shut off. It was a good time, and it filled formative years with glee.

But it was not to last, for the gamesmiths at Nintendo lost sight of what made their games great. The proud Miyamoto, creator of so much, grew confused in his age, and with the aid of equally confused creators changed Paper Mario. While Super Paper Mario held the humor, storytelling, and inventiveness of its predecessors, it also shifted drastically in mechanics. The players were not pleased. What came afterward only dismayed them further, as Paper Mario lost its charm and story. Mushroom World shrank, colors dwindled, and the once-talkative King of the Koopas was silenced. Though the legacy of storytelling continues in Mario&Luigi, it is a different beast, and treated well at the expense of Paper. Where once there were two great lines of RP games, now there is only one.

But from this woeful state of affairs, something new can be built…

Ahem

Right, that's enough prose. This thread is intended to bring Holla Forums together so that we can channel our autism into the enormous world of Mario. The material gives us much to work with, and ample room to expand on it. Plentiful characters, creatures, races, locales, and even histories are there to use. Paper Mario, SMRPG, and Mario & Luigi have seen to that, but there are also bits and pieces from the sports and party games that can help us. Extrapolation and composites are the names of the game.

Right now, there are two projects we've got started (back in the above thread):

The Mushroom World Unified Setting

and

Wario & Waluigi: Subpar Saga may be Paper

The two pieces of drawfaggotry not mine, credit the drawfag are for the latter, and he's got other pieces in the works.


FROM HERE ON, ALL DRAWFAGS, WRITEFAGS, AND ANONS ARE WELCOME

interesting….

>video is thread theme unless someone knows the Wario soundtracks well

4debf9 reporting in.

Never got any more titty monster Wario pics but this is just as good.

I'll give this thread a bump.

I remember I made a random d10 tabletop game using Paper Mario statistics. I couldn't really get the game off of the ground because I was busy with college.

I lost the documentation but I'm sure I can recreate the core system at least.

Drawfag here.
Let the autism begin.

I'd like to contribute but since I'm busy most of the time I'm just gonna give you my full moral support

Little tidbits, theories, and insight are also welcome, if they come to mind.


Excellent. I think I'll start porting in pertinent pieces of the old thread if no else wants to.

How much do you remember?

so this is about making a videogame

So how is "The Mushroom World Unified Setting" supposed to be worked on, anyway? Try to figure out just where every single Mario game is in relation to one another? Because I think there might be some conflicting locations, like the older Mario games, Super Mario 64, and Paper Mario, and maybe Galaxy all in terms of where Peach's castle is within the Mushroom world.
Also, since the pic in the OP is including the SNES Mario Kart tracks, would this one include the ones from Mario Kart N64 and onward, or their locations at least? Some like the Defino track in Double Dash and DS are no brainers, but ones like the Mushroom City/Bridge and other urban ones could be anyone's guess as to where the hell those would be.
