Chargin' Chuck: Is football even popular in Japan? Like, every other Mario enemy is either just a monster, like a Goomba, or a monster with what is clearly a weapon, like a Hammer Bro. Chargin' Chucks are I guess supposed to be koopas (at least according to the Wiki) wearing football gear, but is this supposed to be football gear, or is it supposed to be armor that just looks like real world football gear? On the one hand, we know that the Mario world has real world sports, but on the other hand, football is by far the most popular sport Mario's never had a game for, and I checked the Wiki for every single sports game and Mario Party minigame, and couldn't find a single football reference outside of Chargin' Chuck, so I'm going to say it's very plausible that in the Mario universe, this is just regular battle armor. You can say that they attack in SMW by throwing baseballs and kicking footballs, but that doesn't really prove anything. I won't budge on this unless someone can produce an image of someone playing a benign game of football in a Mario game.

Brooklyn: I've never been to Brooklyn, but I have been to NYC. It's like the only other city in the country that matters besides Los Angeles. Sorry, folks! If you live in Chicago or Houston or something, I'm directly insulting you. YOU, personally. It does feel very different from LA, much more packed in and lively in a way that LA's gigantic sprawl definitely isn't.

Final Fantasy Characters (Mario Hoops 3-on-3): Someone nominated this in the Final Fantasy topic, too. I don't know what I think of making White Mage a girl, I'm of the opinion that their original intention with the job in FF1 was that it was a man, but so be it, it's fine, and I know that the later remakes clearly make it a girl. Ninja, Cactuar, Moogle, and Black Mage? White Mage, Black, and Moogle, sure, Cactuar, maybe, but Ninja? That is not an iconic Final Fantasy character. That slot should have been either the Fighter (name's Dune) or like Cloud. I realize Square probably doesn't want Cloud playing stupid cartoony basketball against Diddy Kong, though, but still not a freaking Ninja, no one particularly associates that job with Final Fantasy.

Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix: I didn't even know this game exists. I haven't played DDR since like 2006, if even then. What the hell even happened to music games? They really fell off the map. I'm kind of shocked that there's a licensed Mario game from 2005, I didn't realize Nintendo allowed that sort of thing back then. Anyway, I don't like DDR, but I also am not offended by it, so who cares? I have friends who insist I'm tonedeaf, so maybe music games just aren't for me.

Mama Luigi: I assume you mean the episode? Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to find this episode? It took me almost five seconds... Did Mario always have brown hair in this cartoon, and Luigi black? God, it's so strange to see Luigi acting like just a guy instead of cowardly. Look, I'm not into YTP, I'm not the guy to analyze these things. As an episode, it's crap, like the rest of the series.

Move Faster, Pokey!: I had to look this up. Look, maybe this was the height of internet humor sixteen years ago, but I am thoroughly unimpressed. I found someone making an extended song out of the soundclip, and yeah, it's kind of funny that he's frustrated by the unfair level, but like, I need a little more in 2024, I'm sorry.

Boswer's Clown Car: I've never really liked this thing. It's a little TOO stupid, even for Mario. It's fine for Bowser Jr, but Bowser himself is already big and threatening, he doesn't need this stupid thing to be a problem for Mario. All it adds is a way for Bowser to escape after Mario defeats him, and like, I can't possibly imagine anything that matters less than logical lore in Mario games.

Yoshi (Game): ... So, this is some kind of crappy block matching puzzle game. They couldn't even come up with a real title for it. Barf. At least they knew to include a multiplayer mode, so I guess they get some points just for that.

Super Mario Land: I had this game as a kid. I never beat it. Even as a five-year-old, I could tell it was janky and not up to the same quality as the other games, and sort of just not worth playing. When I wanted a Gameboy game, I played SML2 and Tetris until 1998, and then exclusively Pokemon after 1998. Pokemon, Pokemon Pinball, and the Pokemon TCG video game. I was the biggest Pokemon fan as a kid, I'm sure we all were. But like c'mon, this game has nothing to make it stand out aside from having slightly weirder-looking enemies.

Tatanga: This is sort of the worst Mario final boss, conceptually. Bowser and Wart are big animal monsters, then you have ghost things and robots, and Tatanga is... an alien. Just a random alien. I mean, sure, he's better than Bowser in a bathtub, but not by that much. At least Bowser in a bathtub is weird, even if it's bad. It's not even a creative alien design, or even a standard alien design. He's just a purple goblin in a flying Jetsons thing with a bubble windshield. "Tatanga became Wario's henchman to get revenge on Mario for ruining his scheme to marry Daisy." Bro, you're from space, and you're pining after DAISY?
