Does anyone feel like things are losing their power in 2025? I mean, I like the year, there's something up with Nintendo and all, as if they're losing their IDENTITY??
Here's a pattern:
1981 - The Mario franchise starts
1992 - An important year for Nintendo, with Super Mario Kart being a big hit
2003 - The Gamecube's fame, along with a new Mario Kart
2014 - The 11-year long Mario Kart 8 debuts
2025 - Something's wrong

Genuinely what are you talking about, nothing is happening with Nintendo. We got a new Mario Kart a month ago, and have been getting all kinds of games from them in the time between 8 & World, and will continue to do so. Heck, there next major release is in less than 48 hours. They aren't losing any identity. Not anymore than they did in the dark days of the WiiU with all the 'safe n' slop' spinoffs like Amiibo Festival and Wii Sports Club.
You just need to play more games.
I mean, for Mario's 40th anniversary, I played Sunshine, the Gamecube Parties, Strikers, The Wii Parties, Sunshine, and Galaxy. I guess that helped.
I really meant non-Mario games too but that's good.
If you mean 'where are the games for the 40th anniversary' then
1: World was just a month ago
2: They'll do a direct some time soon(anywhere from next week - September), it won't be announced before Bananza comes out tho.
3: They've got a lot of games unannounced that they're sitting on. Both Bananza & World started as Switch 1 games after all. Raiders as well, probably.
We'll definitely get something, and if not, then maybe you'll be able to play something else.

Does anyone notice how the N64 tracks aren't really in Mario Kart World?
Well, there's 2 N64 tracks in Mario Kart World, those being Wario Stadium and Choco Mountain
Also, did anyone know there's LITERALLY NO GBA TRACKS
in Mario Kart World?
Mario Kart 8 had a lot, and Tour remade basically all. They're probably burnt out/being saved for DLC.
Also before & 7 only had 1, Wii had 2. (DS had 4 of everything so that's not really relevant). They've never really had many.

Can we talk about The Super Mario World. Movie?
Didn't you already make a topic for that?

Canonically!
Canonically Sonic is 15-16
That doesn't mean that he was actually born 16 years ago. Otherwise his birth date would change every single year.
Mario is 24-25. That does not mean that he is exactly 24 now: That 24-25 was said over 20 years ago. If we were counting within the boundaries of reality, he'd be 40+. But in-universe, his age hasn't changed. We can't change his birth date to be X years ago because X years ago is going to change every year.
The age is the age, the dates are ambiguous at best.
On 2025-06-10 at 18:26:01
Sonic - March 1, 2011
Tails - March 7, 2014
Yoshi - November 21, 1996
Peach - October 10, 2002
Tails - March 7, 2014
Yoshi - November 21, 1996
Peach - October 10, 2002
Sonic is 15-16 in universe. Irl he'd be 33.
Mario is also 24-25 in universe. He'd be 45 irl(based on the interview).
Of course, neither of them are real
So we don't know their actual birth years.
Nor does this actually matter
Because their ages do not make them special or relatable, their personalities do.
3On 2025-06-10 at 18:22:28
Look, we need ages to fully understand their character!
We literally don't. RPGs have disproved this for years.
We don't know how old most party members in RPGs are, but that doesn't stop them from being beloved. Actions and personality help you fully understand a character. Not their age. A 40 year old could be a moron. A 5 year old could be a philosopher-to-be. I know this is a literal pdf excuse, but age really is just a number(in this case)

Mario Party 9 - March 2, 2012
Mario - October 11, 2001
Luigi - October 11, 2001 (they're twins remember)
That makes Mario and Luigi born after the 9/11 attack!

Genuinely what are you talking about? Where are you pulling these numbers from bro? Why the hell are you putting an exclamation after 9/11 like it's something to be proud of or interesting?
Copy and paste:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/oasW_0h904s
That's only Bowser & Jr. tho, where are you getting those other numbers from?
Wait
Ain't no way you're counting 24 years from this year
When their ages were confirmed 24-25 over 8 YEARS AGO
And then you bring up 9/11 (Other stuff happened in 2001 for sure)?
That interview with Miyamoto was in 04!!! 20 years ago! Mario would be 45! That interview was not from this year brother
This new message farming era needs to END!

Hello to all MKWorld speedrunners(and by that I mean Infi)
What's preventing charge jump + walljump over the blocks and onto the interior of the first corner of Koopa (Troopa) Beach? (I don't own the game and am just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks to make the weaker tracks look a little less boring.) Is the space on the inside of the starting line too tight for the Bowser abomination? It does look quite slanted now that I look...I don't know if Charge Jump alone will clear the blocks either.

Hell FF7R is coming to Switch 2, and Switch 1 definitely could not run that even if it was on steroids.
On 2025-06-09 at 02:03:27
There are many reasons I hate Nintendo.
1. They require you to pay to play online.
2. They made a Switch 2 when someone could absolutely mods their Switch and the result is a Switch 2, and then a brick.
3. They shut down the online servers so we can suffer through more pain.
Yeah, hopefully this will convince you to go on strike to Nintendo.

Every console has online subscriptions
Switch 2 is running games comfortably that the Steam Deck could barely handle like Cyberpunk 2077 & FF7R. Switch ain't running that shit modded if Steam Deck can't.
The online servers for every console have to be shut eventually. Wasting money like that is stupid. The only reason that PS3 hasn't lost it's servers is because Sony is still using PSN(and probably will forever). There was no PS3-specific service. If Nintendo had stuck to a singular service instead of trying random shit with their hardware every generation, we would've still had Wii online if the WiiU hadn't failed because they'd be using the same service. Fortunately, we're not going to have that problem for the forseeable future with Switch Online (there will likely be a 3rd and final Switch) because they're both running on NSO. Also NSO is $20 a year if you can't afford that you shouldn't be buying consoles or games at all, atleast until you get back on your feet. Like, if you had Switch online since 2018 you'd have payed $140-180? dollars by now, which is literally 3 last gen games. Like, relax.
Can we talk about stuff like the Joycons not being upgraded at all to prevent drifting(100% the magnetic Joy-con connection's fault this time), or the lack of transparency from them on things like VA changes(even in regards to the fucking VA herself(we'll miss you Samantha) and misinfo prevention, because there was a lot of that shit?(especially about the game key-cards)
There are so many valid criticisms to make but people love to get hung up on the most irrelevant, non-problematic shit.
The Steam Deck couldn't run Cyberpunk because it's too much to run. Switch 2 is a stripped down mess, so why are you even talking about Cyberpunk? If we're being honest, NEITHER console could run the actual thing.
Cyberpunk is literally running on Switch 2 at Upscaled 4K and a smooth 40fps, genuinely what are you talking about?
(Yes it's not on the same level at PS5 but the game is actually PLAYABLE which was my point)
Switch 2 is not something a Switch 1 could be modified to be.

Here's a sneak peek of a course that I'm making!
I think I know what that track is...

They Stardust Speedway Act 1'd Shroom Ridge and it sounds amazing
I definitely know what I'm doing for my Shroom Ridge now.
This game must be the 40th anniversary game.

Obviously no spoilers for the game itself are allowed but I think that just the music titles(which are just the track names) is very non-spoilery enough. Feel free to take down the post if it isn't(I don't see why it would be)
Mario Kart World Course Music Ranking (IMO)
No elaboration will be given until July 4th. (1 month since launch), and tiers are not ordered at all.
S: Whistlestop Summit, Sky High Sundae, Wario Shipyard, Peach Stadium, Peach Beach, Cheep Cheep Falls, Dry Bone Burnout, Toad’s Factory, Bowser’s Castle, Acorn Heights
A: Shy Guy Bazaar, Starview Peak, Faraway Oasis, Great ? Block Ruins, Boo Cinema, Choco Mountain
B: Mario Bros. Circuit, Crown City, Wario Stadium, Airship Fortress, Koopa Troopa Beach, Dino Dino Jungle, Mario Circuit
C: DK Pass, Salty Salty Speedway, Dandelion Depths, Moo Moo Meadows, Rainbow Road
D: DK Spaceport, Desert Hills
The buildup right before you start the final lap in Grand Prix races is also awesome!
Honorable mention to the Boo changing the music to be more muted (kinda like when you boost in 3D Sonic) and also the new Slipstream SFX!
The cup intro themes, GP celebration theme, race results, GP results and ofc Staff Credits are also amazing!!!
Even with all the remixes, the new songs are by no means bad or forgettable!
The 3D World/Tour/Odyssey/old MK titles & credits remixes are a cut above the rest.
As for me personally, Peach Stadium is easily the best Nitro track theme in the game. That or Cheep Cheep Falls.

Two big changes for Mario Kart World!
-Blue shell dodging(w Mushroom) is now way too easy
-There is no 200cc(L) they're considering an update for it later.
The first one is...definitely concerning. If the Feather Dodge is too easy, then Blue Shells will be literally useless.
The second sucks for me, personally. 150cc is a power point presentation as far as I care. We should be going faster, not slower. Unless they do 200 & 250, this is gonna suck.
Also the character costumes are incredibly disproportionate.
The Core 6 have way more costumes than most characters (Peach has 1 less than Mario, for some reason), Pauline only has 2(good) DK has 1 or 2 as well(also good), the babies have a lot.
