Talk:Angry Sun

MKDS
There are a few fireballs bouncing on the course, but certainly not from the sky or an Angry Sun. Wayoshi ( T&middot;C&middot;@ ) 12:08, 19 August 2006 (EDT)

But, I've seen the Angry Sun in MKDS in the Desert Hill track. -- Sir Grodus


 * For reals! Well, in that case, I'll put the info back in. -- Son of Suns
 * And he does shoot the fire. Evan had a very close eye. I don't pay attention to backgrounds that much, but when I went back to it today, guess what? I saw the Angry Sun as soon as I entered the course, then when I started the second lap I saw the Angry Sun for a second, then it ran away and in the next part of the course I saw the bottom half of a sun and fireballs shooting from directly under it.

I've seen the whole sun shoot out fireballs.

Trivia (Don't know, Don't ask)

 * the sun never shoots out more than 4 fireballs at a time, in any game which it does. Max2

Reply to Sir Grodus' question
You asked whether or not this is a species or a character, when I'd probably say species. In the level where an Angry Sun appears, if you kill it, another one will come, obviously meening that there's more than just one. --Bentendo 16:21, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

Are you sure? Because I killed one in the Desert level of SMB3, waited around forever, and it didn't come back.


 * Oh, I guess I'm wrong, sorry! --Bentendo 16:40, 28 March 2007 (EDT)'

Wario Land 3
Correct (but no yelling) me if im wrong. But isn't there a Angry Sun in Wario Land 3? It and the moon throw bolts and fireballs at Wario to knock him off high platforms - CC

You're correct. I remember getting angry at that sadistic celestial duo. -Shinx Man

Sprites
We need a SMB3 NES sprite. Feel the power!

Mario kart double dash.
I could of swear I saw him in Mario Kart double dash on "Dry dry desert" or whatever the desert thing is called. --Goombob XD (talk) 19:15, 14 May 2013 (EDT)Goombob
 * I never saw it in Dry Dry Desert. 20:31, 14 May 2013 (EDT)

Use NSMBU Angry Sun?
Since we now have a modern appearance for the Angry Sun, I was wondering if we should make that the new picture for the article. Since the NSMBU style is the "modern look" for 2D Mario games, I believe it's safe to assume that this is the look the Angry Sun will have for now on. Garridk (talk) 11:59, June 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * This needs to be discussed first.
 * We should wait until Super Mario Maker 2 is released. 12:18, June 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'd support it, since enemies already have their Super Mario Maker 2 artworks. -- 12:19, June 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * It's better to use the more modern appearance anyways in most scenarios. 14:05, June 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * It looks pretty terrible, but it can be updated once the game is released. 14:13, June 19, 2019 (EDT)

I think the picture that is already up top is way more accurate to what it actually is. The NSMBU design isn't. Mario Sakuraba (talk) 08:23, June 23, 2019 (EDT)
 * "Accurate" or not, this is its modern appearance, and thus should be updated. 17:20, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

I regret agreeing with this, it looks terrible and does not accurately portray "angry" at all. Super Mario Maker 2's SMB3 sprite is still "modern" technically, if we want to use that. 12:13, August 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I'd prefer using the SMB3 sprite, rather than the horror of the Indifferent Sun. 12:21, August 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * Using the old sprite is a bad idea. Just because Koopa Troopas uses their old design in the Super Mario Bros. style doesn't mean we should consider that their current design. The actually Angry Sun in SMB, SMMB3, and SMW is just meant to be a reference to its old design and how it looked in Super Mario Bros. 3, just like how any other sprite in those styles look like they did, or would have looked like in the cases where they have a new sprite, in older games. (For the most part, there are some exceptions like with Bowser in the Super Mario World style.) Even if the bored sun isn't angry it is its new design, and we shouldn't ignore that just so we can use what are in our opinions a better design. Plus, the New Super Mario Bros. U design is based off a more recent game, which could be considered as more modern that its sprites representing older titles inside the same game.  12:28, August 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * OK, first off, why are people still insisting "Angry" should be a necessary attribute? Need I remind y'all that the "Angry" part of the name was Nintendo Power's invention, and as such the Japanese developers are under no obligation to follow that, as it is just "sun" (or technically "taiyo") in Japan. Sorry if I'm being a bit of a jerk about this, I've had to explain this on The Spriters Resource like 10 times now and am at my limit with it. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:34, August 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * Well... it's being used in game now. Does it matter if it's a Nintendo Power name when the sprite looks terrible anyway? 14:09, August 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * First off: It's being used in the English-language setting, i's still just "taiyo" in the Japanese-language setting. Secondly, that's terribly subjective. I think using a mesoamerican influence (almost as if to converge it with the Paper Mario sun) is an interesting idea. Anyways, for shame, attempting to push opinion as fact. Besides, it's better stylized than most of Superstar Saga's garbage designs, and people outright praise those. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:51, August 6, 2019 (EDT)

I support this. NSMBU represents modern designs, and this is the sun's modern design. It's really strange, but we do have a high quality sprite of it. 14:13, August 6, 2019 (EDT)
