Wart: Does Wart... exist? He's only in Subcon, which is just Mario's fever dream. I dunno. As an alternative to Bowser, he is better than Tatanga, but Tatanga is at least not another amphibious green king, which Wart is. What is Wart's goal, even? What is he hoping to accomplish? The Mario Wiki just says he's trying to conquer Subcon, but like, to what end, and why? Even Bowser has more characterization. Like, look at this dialogue: "I am the great Wart!" "Ah, ribbit!" I guess I like his fancy jewelry and cape, it gives him a more hedonistic and idolent appearance than Bowser, and the fact that he attacks by burping bubbles to travel toward you, as opposed to Bowser, who yes breathes fire but also is happy to get up close and personal, does give him at least some IMPLICIT difference, but that's like literally all there is to this character.

Blue Shell (NSMB): Because you specified NSBM, I am obliged to ignore its SMW and MK appearances. I mean... sure. Being able to shell dash is kind of nice. It's not blowing my mind, but it's fun enough as like a mid-level power-up idea.

Donkey Kong Arcade Cabinet: Is this nomination inspired by the Billy Mitchell thing? Because I haven't thought about a Donkey Kong arcade cabinet outside of his court case I think ever. It's just an arcade cabinet, who cares?

Somari: I'm actually shocked the NES can replicate Sonic 1 like this. I didn't think it was powerful enough. The idea of making Sonic 1, but Sonic is replaced with Mario, is really good. The problem is that it should have just been Mario's mechanics instead of Sonic's. Seeing Mario zoom around and turn into a ball as he jumps, I dunno. The wonky physics, I can take or leave it, and I recognize that the game is kind of bad, but the sheer effort of porting Sonic 1 onto the NES, and the idea of Mario replacing Sonic, is worth some points.

Negative Zone: I don't hate Negative Zone, and I recognize how it represents Luigi's awkwardness and the fact that he's always in his brother's shadow... but it has nothing to do with any game Luigi is in. You can't even say that Sakurai got the idea for using the Poltergust later, since Luigi's Mansion well predates Brawl. Still, this is better than any of the other Mario final smashes that are original to Smash, so it has that going for it.

Flyswatting Minigame (Mario Paint): I like the ZZP sound effect when you hit them, it sounds like nothing an real fly sounds like. I like how they couldn't even afford a background. God, why are there so many flies and bombs on what I assume is a bathroom tile wall?

Mario Mandate: I don't know how real it is, but there must be at least some validity. You look at how weird and inventive the first three Paper Marios are, and then how genericized and bland their sequels are. Until Mario Wonder, every 2D Mario title since World has just been the exact Platonic ideal of Mario instead of doing anything even remotely interesting. Even Wonder is like, just sort of mixing things up a little, and that still comes across as super innovative! This probably does help prevent Mario from having any truly unplayable games, like again Sonic has, but again to compare Mario to Zelda, the most boring and generic Zelda title is Skyward Sword because it does nothing unique or interesting? That was like every Mario game for ten years.

Super Mario Run: I have zero interest in autorunners. I've only ever played Temple Run, and briefly. This is the kind of game designed to appeal to like, I don't know, middle-aged moms. I guess I can respect it having a lot of playable characters, let's see... Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, Toadette, and then five colors of Yoshi. Yeah, great. Get out of here. Say what you want about Zelda, but it whores itself out for these kinds of games and spinoffs much less than Mario and Pokemon.
