Mario's dad?


Father of Bowser Jr. and I think the Koopalings too.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think he abused of Peach canonically.

I think the Koopalings aren't his children

Also there's no way Nintendo would have domestic abuse as part of the Mario canon

I mean, obviously they will not imply literal abuse, but it's been hinted in the past that Peach is Bowser Jr.'s mom (Super Mario Sunshine comes to mind when Bowser Jr. calls her "mother" and she's like "...that's my son?").

All Peach did was not outright deny she was Bowser Jr.'s mother. She probably just didn't want to hurt Bowser Jr.'s feelings or something. Which you could critique as dumb but Sunshine isn't a game celebrated for its masterful writing regardless so whatever! And Bowser Jr. is shown to have clearly figured Peach isn't his mom by the credits regardless.

I think the Koopalings were definitely presented as Bowser's children at some point (at least in non-game media) but that got retconned.

Yeah, I think they were his kids in the cartoon, but I think they made them his nephews (and niece) after Bowser Jr. came along.

I wonder if people really thought about the phrasing of the poll. I feel like Street Fighter's playrate is better than 10% here and I feel like you're going to beat Bison per time played way more than the other guys just cause the games are short.

Well, if you play Sonic, you're beating Robotnik a minimum of, what, 6 times per game?

Well same argument for Robotnik!

Ganondorf and Bowser don't have this generally that's all I'm saying. Zelda games in particular tend to be longer low replay value types.

Best 3D Mario game poll:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7638-

Of course, the wording of the question means the results aren't as reliable for contest related purposes because you want the poll to be worded as "your all-time favorite" instead of "the best of the" in this poll question to be reliable here.

wow what a shot by Allen to omit KH3


Kh3 popularity has gotten weaker. To the point where including it would just be for the sake of including a popular game.

Lets be real. Critically Kh3 wont win fuck all this year
Even on gamefaqs where it was expected to do well...it got completely overshadowed by RE2. Lh3 felt like a game that came and went and people went back to playing RE2 except the hardcore KH fanboys. . I mean it could probably sneak in to 2nd in this poll but its irrelevant. Give it another month and Mario maker would be stronger than Kh3.

Unless Pokemon becomes super good or people orgasm over the Links awakening demo. RE2 has GOTY on lockdown here.

We saw last year how low votals favours the generally more critically acclaimed and games. God of war was no joke last year.

Kingdom Hearts 3 needed to be an outstanding game to be the front runner. It was decent at best. Better than the trash XV but still not good enough

KH3 was in development a billion years and it was a flop. Sales wise it did fine but it didnt exactly leave anything memorable.

I'm sure it will do decent here in our GOTY polls but

The amount of voters claiming to have red eyes seems pretty high.

I guess the sensitivity to sun would make people with albinism more likely to stay inside and play video games?

But its probably mostly just people thinking red eyes are cool and voting that.

I'm actually pretty worried that a whopping 70% of people are 100% sure that 1969's moon landing was real, honestly speaking.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but wouldn't moon travels be way more common in this day and age?

anything you want seen or done can probably be accomplished safely and for less using unmanned drones
