Mario was only ever technically from the real world in the original Mario Bros.

It was retconned long ago (and most certainly confirmed) with Baby Mario being in the Mushroom Kingdom for Yoshi's Island. He's from the Mushroom Kingdom.

Koopa kids are not Bowser's kids anymore? That's gooseberry fool and Bowser Jr is a banana split, he should be banished from existence.

Can't wait to just poke around looking for little secrets. It's what I love about 64, even now I can find the odd little secret mushroom or warp point that I've never come across before.

Hate the style of that city though, just looks like some fan unreal demo.

Shigeru Miyamoto confirming during an interview in 2012 that "Our current story is that the seven Koopalings are not Bowser's children. Bowser's only child is Bowser Jr., and we do not know who the mother is."


"We do not know who the mother is" :slol:

Some interesting things just confirmed by Miyamoto in the treehouse session:

1. The style of this game is more like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine.

2. In the circle of hardcore --> easy --> hardcore Mario games, this game is back in the "hardcore" sector.

3. There will be a large variety of different locations.

4. Lots of input from the young designers - but the team that did all the Mario 3D games are working on this - so will be amazing!

Getting warm and fuzzy looking at those screens, reminds me of seeing Sonic Adventure's station square in magazines back in the day :)

Seeing Mario run around that city is a bit jarring, but otherwise I think this is looking good.

Someone at Nintendo needs to make the best of a awful looking stage and okay a cover version of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' Empire State of Mind.

This looks the absolute tits, guaranteed to be a complete cracker of a game.

The city level will be ace,Nintendo aren't Sega, so they'll do it right.

strawberry float Sega right in the ear.

Rapidly-greying is Mediocre to Average at games :fp:
