Re: Putting the events of the games in chronological order

If it's published by Nintendo, it's canon.

If it's not, then it isn't. Pretty simple stuff.

Re: Putting the events of the games in chronological order

Same thing with Koopa. He's the same as Bowser. Remember, he's still called Koopa in Japan (or was for a while). And he's always been Bowser here (cartoons and such aside). Im not trying to stir things up with you guys, i just thought this would be an interesting subject to talk about on here. The ...

Re: Mario Party Series

I definitely am, and hope I'm lucky enough to get a review copy. It looks more action-y than some of the other Mario Parties, in a way, and I love some of the retro stuff-- that Koopa-shell/bridge/Goomba thing in particular.

Re: Why I understand some points Mario fans are TRYING to ma

Just to play devil's advocate, they could have had Mario and Luigi use their coveralls to investigate Scapelli's tampering with the digging site, which was pretty early on, and had them wear the costumes from there. The only problem then would be the night club scene, which could probably be gotten ...
