The most ridiculous games you will never find.

A Mario Halloween
It's Halloween. Mario and friends are thinking it's going to it's a scary night.Until the mummy of Toadsworth's brother returns to haunt the Living.

("Notice how it says it's going to be a scary night until the mummy appears.")

Donkey Kong GBA
Donkey Kong Game boy Advance is only for the GBA and the NES. There are 3 level's in the GBA version.[...]

Donkey Kong Country (television series)
Four episodes were released in North America on a single VHS cassette titled, Donkey Kong Country: The Legend of the Crystal Coconut and was marketed as a feature length film. But these episodes were recorded in poor chronological order, when a flash back shown in the third episode actually happened in the fourth episode of the tape. The American version of the tape was disturbed by Paramount Pictures, Nintendo, and Nelvana.

("That Disturbed text isn't that disturbing." - )

Donkey Kong Land
Although this is true that the two games play the same using the same engine - it is false because not only is the storyline different, but Donkey Kong Land has different levels, enemies, and bosses from the ones featured in Donkey Kong Country. ("I love contradictions, especially ones in a featured article." - )

Frozen Assets
The winning player attempts to do a winning pose as the player wins.

("Why would you do a winning pose when you are winning and when you win?" - )

("Nice job there, Charlie Sheen,"-)

Game & Watch Gallery 4
Game & Watch Gallery 4 attempted to be the most authentic Gallery game in the series, and in the eyes of most, it succeeded. Somewhat controversial was the inclusion of "shadows" in the Classic mode. The places where unlit liquid-crystal units would be were filled in with a light gray to attempt to emulate the look of a Game & Watch unit. However, some thought that it was tacky to imitate what they saw as a defect in the original units. Also, many pointed out that several shadows were forgotten, such as Donkey Kong's mouth in Donkey Kong Jr. In addition, several games in the Museum had no shadows at all, creating an inconsistency some found bothersome. Also many Game & Watch units' "shadows" where not visible anyway. Nevertheless, Game & Watch Gallery 4 is still considered the most authentic game in the series.

("People really pay attention to shadows when playing a game they consider 'faux'?" -It doesn't have shadows in the right spots therefore it's fake)

Grabby Gridiron
At the end of the mini-game, the winning team wins while the other team is sad that they lost the game.[...]

("I didn't know that you win when you win! To keep on that point, teams are sad when they lose?!?!?!?!" - )

The Impossible? maze
[...]The Impossible? Maze is the 4th extra level of Super Mario Advance 3:Yoshi's island. It,obviously,seems impossible-however it IS possible, no doubt.[...]

("Uh, yeah..." - )

("Wow, it is possible to beat it? I hate false advertisement." - )

Krazy Kremland
[...]Along with being rundown another negative feature about this B-class amusement park (bemusement park?) is that it is built on a swamp filled with critters and bramble vines[...]

Luigi and the Spaghetti
Around 1992 a spanish software house ,toposoft made a DOS game called Luigi and Spaghetti in EU(europen union)The main plot has to do with spaice aliens taking over the world and military forces are no match.It is up to luigi to stop the aliens with the help of a worm named Spaghetti.Gameplay consists of jumping on alien eggs and smashing them and released imprisoned heroes.The game does not take place in mushroom kingdom but in real locations like egypt and italy.There are enemies such as mummies and characters like dracula and frankenstien.You can get hurt by enemies and the only way to avoid being killed by them is transforming into superman by finding an s icon.Some may think this game may not feature nintendo's luigi since this luigi isnt in mushroom kingdom and other mario characters are not included.It also features a strange plot that normally isnt in mario games.However,the luigi character seems to be an alternate reality version of nintendo's luigi.It has most characteristic's of nintendo's luigi with minor changes.For example,he wears blue and white overalls instead of blue and green.he also dosent have an L on his cap.However,the cap is still green.He also has a mustache and sideburns.Becuase of this, many believe this is the luigi from the mario games and not a different character altogether.

("I recommend you the sequel, Mario and the Lasagna. But it is not Nintendo's Mario. It just looks like him.")

Mari0
Mari0 is the game that's just the same as Super Mario Bros., but is combined with Portal. In the title, the 0 is a portal. Instead of just rescuing Princess Peach, you can use the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device (ASHPD) or the portal gun to help you rescue her. If you ever played Portal, you will know how portals work. Portals can teleport you anywhere you want. You just shoot an entry portal and exit portal to use it to your advantage. You may modify the portals colours in the settings menu. Other than that, it's just Super Mario Bros. For more information, see Super Mario Bros.

Trivia

 * Fawful may appear in this game, but it's unknown.
 * This is also the first game in the Mario & Luigi (series) not to feature Bowser as the main antagonist.
 * ("So, what happened to Cackletta, Fawful, and the Shroobs in the previous games?")

trivia

 * Due to the fact that the Shroob invasion is not remembered by any characters, even Toadsworth, the invasion may not have actually been intended to happen in the past. Since E. Gadd's memory was actually rearranged by the events taking place in the past, the Shroobs may have actually been attacking the present, but been sent to the past by the time holes made by E. Gadd's time machine.

("My head hurts")

Trivia

 * This is the First Time seeing Toad and Toadette Barefoot

Mario Golf:Toadstool Tour
[...]The Bob-omb explodes on Wario and Waluigi and creates an explosion.[...]

Mario in Space

Despite suffering from low playing, a sequel entitled Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 was released (also for the arcades). It featured more gameplay elements than its predecessor, including more characters such as Waluigi and Mametchi. Fortunately, it received positive scores and critical acclaim, being unlike the previous game which was criticized for the high amount of pay. A sequel to Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 entitled Mario Kart Arcade GP DX is being developed.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Another notorious change featured in the game is the point system given to the racers after a competition in Grand Prix mode.

(People hated that?) -BabyLuigiOnFire

The Double Dash is similar to the Rocket Start. Although it is more powerful, it can only be performed in Co-op Play. The team players can press the acceleration button at the same time right when green lights up. Upon done perfectly, the kart will bolt farther, leaving out a notorious blue trail as result.

(The blue trail then attacked other players and caused game overs for anything behind them. )

Prologue: A Rogue's Welcome
The adventure begins when Princess Peach goes on a cruise with her steward, Toadsworth. The two arrive in Rogueport, the home of rogues and thieves. Peach slips away from Toadsworth and meets a hooded woman, who persuades her to buy something. After a moment of thinking, Peach sees a box which she describes "pretty". The hooded woman says it is a box with a map to a legendary treasure. She claims that the chest can be opened only by "one with a pure heart" and explains that a person such as herself cannot open the chest. She states that if Peach can open it, she can have whatever is inside. The Princess eagerly opens the box and discovers that it contains a Magical Map. She decides to send it to Mario, knowing the plumber would be able to help her find it. This is all shown in the introductory title screen. Sometime later, Princess Peach hears about Professor Frankly, and asks him if he knows anything about the treasure. He says he doesn't know, but they are related to relics known as the Crystal Stars and that one of them is hidden in the nearby Petal Meadows. The Princess waits to tell Mario the news, but she is caught off-guard by Sir Grodus, who brings her to the Teleporter in Rogueport Sewers. After the player creates a new file, Mario's House appears. Parakarry appears and delivers a letter. Luigi goes outside the house, takes the letter out of the mailbox, and returns inside. He tells Mario that a letter from Princess Peach has arrived. Luigi reads the letter to Mario. After reading the letter, Luigi gives Mario the map. Mario looks at the map and nods, then boards a ferry to Rogueport.

As Mario reaches Rogueport, he immediately finds trouble. He arrived shortly after Princess Peach was kidnapped by the X-Nauts, and they about to do the same to a female Goomba named Goombella. Mario defeats an X-Naut general, Lord Crump, in a battle, though unfortunately, Grodus had already brought Peach to the X-Naut Fortress by the time this happens. He also tries to land a surprise attack on Mario and Goombella, but they have already escaped to Rogueport Square. Goombella introduces herself, and she explains that she is an archeology student who attends the University of Goom where her professor is Professor Frankly. Mario explains his quest, and asks where Peach is, after a brief encounter with Toadsworth. Goombella theorizes she went off looking for the treasure herself, though Mario is still unsure, so Goombella tells him to go to her old instructor's house. Mario goes to Professor Frankly's house and shows him the map; the professor then explains the legend tied to it. The map is connected to a massive gateway in the Rogueport Sewers - the legendary Thousand-Year Door. The door is rumored to contain a great treasure. However, a powerful seal holds the gate in place. The keys to the door are the seven Crystal Stars. If held before the door, the map has the power to reveal where the stars lie. Frankly reasons that if the Princess is looking for the Crystal Stars, then the map will eventually reveal her location. Afterward, the three enter the sewers, and they encounter a mysterious Black Chest Demon, who "curses" Mario, giving him the ability to fly as a paper airplane. Mario uses this power to reach the Thousand-Year Door and holds the map in the air, revealing the location of the first Crystal Star.

Chapter 1: Castle and Dragon
After the visit to the Thousand-Year Door, Mario and Goombella show the map to Professor Frankly, who reveals that the castle upon it is in the same vicinity as Petalburg, a village that is home to many pacifistic Koopa Troopas and Toads. Mario and Goombella travel to the small town and discover that a large, red dragon - Hooktail - lives inside the castle and that the villagers live in fear of her. Mario and Goombella must pass through the fuzzy-infested Shhwonk Fortress and play a quiz game to earn the Stone Keys before they can enter the castle of Hooktail. As they pass back through Petalburg, one particular Koopa - named Koops - asks to travel with Mario, as he wishes to avenge his father, Koopley, who vanished a decade ago after he traveled to defeat Hooktail. Mario agrees and Koops joins the party. Once the three arrive at Hooktail Castle, they bypass her traps and learn her secret weakness: she cannot stand the sound of crickets. With help from Ms. Mowz and another Black Chest Demon, (which lets Mario become paper-thin, allowing him to slip between cracks), they encounter Hooktail in her lair. She fights the group, but in the end, she falls. Hooktail coughs up Koops's Dad, who has retrieved the Diamond Star from within Hooktail's stomach. Father and son are at last reunited and, as a token of his undying dedication, Koopley hands the Diamond Star to Mario.

After the battle with Hooktail, the scene moves to an unknown location (later known to be the X-Naut Fortress on the moon), where Peach is revealed to be kidnapped. She has been kidnapped by the X-Nauts and their leader, Sir Grodus. When an X-Naut tells Sir Grodus someone nabbed the first Crystal Star, Peach guesses that it was Mario and accidentally blurts out his name. Grodus overhears this and decides to have his Shadow Sirens steal the map from Mario. Peach soon after meets TEC-XX, or TEC for short. He is the base's master computer, who later in the game, develops an interest in Peach's concept of love, and asks for her help to understand it. Peach agrees; in exchange, TEC lets her use his keyboard to send e-mail messages to Mario.

During another scene transition at Bowser's Castle, Kammy Koopa tells Bowser that Mario is hunting the seven Crystal Stars; Bowser decides that they sound like good "world-conquering tools" and wants them all to himself. Kammy also reveals that Peach has been kidnapped by someone else. Bowser is outraged at this and leaves for Rogueport to kidnap her back.

Back in Petalburg, the residents are amazed to see that Koops went from a nervous citizen to a brave warrior and that Hooktail has been slain. As they head for the Thousand-Year Door, they receive an e-mail from Peach, who tells them she has been kidnapped, and the people who kidnapped her are after the map she sent Mario. Mario and co. head back to The Thousand-Year Door and hold up the map to it. The next Star's location is revealed on the map and they visit Professor Frankly for details.

Chapter 2: The Great Boggly Tree
The second Crystal Star is revealed to be in The Great Tree in Boggly Woods. Shortly after entering the area, Mario and Co. encounter the Shadow Sirens, who do not recognize him due to having lost a sketch of him given to them by Grodus. Ignoring the Sirens, the group continues. After reaching the Great Tree, Punio, whom the group had earlier met in Rogueport Sewers, reveals that it is inhabited by the Punies, a small race of creatures of which he is one. After realizing that the X-Nauts locked the door into The Great Tree, Punio suggests they find Madame Flurrie, a cloud spirit with the power over wind, to find the secret entrance. However, upon reaching her home, Flurrie reveals she had lost her necklace and doesn't want anyone to see her without it. Mario must then go back to the Shadow Sirens, who hold Flurrie's Necklace. They eventually find the sketch and recognize Mario. After defeating them and returning to Flurrie, the cloud spirit joins them in their quest. With Flurrie as their third party member, the group finds the secret entrance and enters the Great Tree to discover that the X-Nauts have imprisoned most of the Punies. With the aid of a special orb given to them by the Puni Elder, Mario must navigate traps, solve puzzles, and defeat the Jabbi tribe in order to free the imprisoned Punies and recover the second star, in the heart of the Tree. There, Lord Crump snatches it, and activates a five minute time bomb to blow up the tree. After chasing him to the entrance, where he is being held up by the Puni Elder, he stops the bomb and uses his Magnus von Grapple to fight the heroes, but is eventually defeated once again. Afterwards, the X-Nauts evacuate the tree and Mario and co. obtain the Emerald Star

At the X-Naut headquarters, the X-Nauts inform Sir Grodus that Mario has taken the Emerald Star. Grodus becomes infuriated. Meanwhile, TEC calls for the Princess, and asks her to dance with him. After some conflict, TEC creates a hologram of Peach as a dance partner. After Peach dances with the hologram, TEC is intrigued by the emotion he feels, and again lets Peach e-mail Mario.

Meanwhile, Bowser and Kammy are in Petal Meadows. After they make it through Petal Meadows in a side-scrolling segment, they arrive at Petalburg. Bowser spots what he believes to be Peach, and starts talking to "her", only to humorously find out it was a poster.

Back at the Great Tree, the Punies say goodbye to Mario and his team, telling them they can visit the tree at any time. As they move on, they receive another e-mail from Peach, who tells them that the X-Nauts are searching for the Crystal Stars and to be careful. Mario and his team head back to the door and once again present their map to it. With the next Star's location revealed, they once visit Professor Frankly for details about the area.

Chapter 3: Of Glitz and Glory
The third Crystal Star appears on a large arena in a floating town. To reach Glitzville, Mario and the gang must visit Don Pianta, ruler of the West Side of Rogueport. He offers them the ticket they need to reach Glitzville if they can find his missing daughter, Francesca, and his mobster Frankie. The two had run off to get married. When Mario convinces them to return, there is a bit of confrontation between the three, but eventually Don relents, lets the pair leave, and gives Mario the ticket he promised.

Once Mario and his team arrive in Glitzville, they enter the Glitz Pit and spot the Crystal Star on the Champ's Belt, held by Rawk Hawk, the current champion. They decide that the best course of action is to sign up as a fighting team and become the champs themselves. Mario talks with the manager Grubba and his assistant, Jolene, and takes on the fighter name "The Great Gonzales" (in Japanese: 『じごくかちまた しょけいにん』グレート・ゴンザレス) Mario and his companions battle through the ranks and eventually gain a newborn Yoshi as a partner, but soon, a mysterious web of intrigue plays out: fighters vanish, cheating abounds, and a mysterious figure known only as "X" sends cryptic e-mails to Mario. The clues all reveal that the Star on the belt is a fake — the real Crystal Star is being used by Grubba, its magic fueling a power-draining machine that he uses to keep himself strong. After Mario & co. find out his plans, they chase him into the arena, where he transforms into Macho Grubba. However, the group overpowers him in the end. Following Grubba's defeat, Jolene reveals herself as the mysterious X, and explains that she was seeking her brother, Prince Mush, who was the former champion and another victim of Grubba's machine. Suddenly, the Gold Star, appearing out of the machine, uses its power to bring back Prince Mush, and Jolene gives it to Mario, to prevent such an event from ever happening again.

At the X-Naut base, TEC asks Peach to go ask Grodus a question relating to his plans. She is surprised, since TEC has never questioned Grodus's authority before. The Princess goes undercover in an X-Naut disguise and learns that Grodus is plotting to use the Crystal Stars to take over the world. TEC allows her to send this message to Mario, and continues thinking about the Princess once she leaves.

Meanwhile, Bowser is searching for one of the Crystal Stars in the Great Tree, though he has absolutely no luck.

Back at the Glitz Pit, Mario tells the fighters and Jolene that he is retiring. They give him their thanks and say good bye. As Mario and company head for the Thousand-Year Door, they receive another message from Peach, telling them that the X-Nauts are planning to conquer the world. Mario and his companions return to the door and present their map before it. The next Star's location is revealed and they go visit Prof. Frankly for details.

Chapter 4: For Pigs the Bell Tolls
Mario and his party learn that the fourth Crystal Star is located in the Creepy Steeple. Professor Frankly tells them that it is located near a small, dim village known as Twilight Town. Mario learns from a Twilighter in Rogueport, named Darkly, that he must have something with his name written on it, or the pipe leading there will not let him through. When Mario tells him that he does not have anything with his name on it, he writes Mario's name on the seat of his pants, allowing passage through the pipe.

When Mario & co. get to Twilight Town, they discover that the village is under a curse. A monster lives in the Creepy Steeple, and rings a bell there every so often. Each time the bell is rung, a citizen transforms into a pig. Using a new Black Chest Demon power that lets Mario turn into a rolling paper tube, the group travel across the Twilight Trail and reach the steeple. After releasing some Boos and solving puzzles, they soon meet the monster, who is revealed to be a Duplighost. During the battle, the monster uses an attack to steal Mario's name and body, transforming the plumber into a shadowy version of himself. Mario's partners claim the Crystal Star and leave with "Mario", who is really the Duplighost in disguise. Meanwhile, the shadowy Mario returns to Twilight Town, after learning that the monster will only transform back if Mario can guess his name. While there, he bumps into Vivian, one of the Shadow Sirens, who had been ditched by her sisters. With her help and after listening to a bird in a secret room, he discovers that the monster's name is Doopliss. After guessing his name, Doopliss retreats to Creepy Steeple. Mario chases him and they fight once more. After discovering that she was helping Mario, her enemy, Vivian leaves. However, she suddenly reappears and announces that Mario offered her more kindness than her sisters ever did, and joins him permanently. The two defeat Doopliss and reclaim the Ruby Star.

At the X-Naut base, TEC asks the Princess to participate in a sort of "quiz show" with him. She agrees, and he strangely demands that she answer every question, at any cost. By doing this, she discovers the true "treasure" of the Thousand-Year Door — the soul of an evil demon. The Crystal Stars also work as keys in both ways — they can be used to unlock the door, and can also lock the demon away. The Princess sends this news to Mario, and wonders why TEC revealed this crucial information.

Meanwhile, the hapless Bowser continues his quest for Crystal Stars by flying up to Glitzville in his Koopa Clown Car. However, it malfunctions halfway there, and he must travel underwater to return to Rogueport, soaked and angry. It is also humorously revealed that Kammy made the trip just fine, as she returns to Bowser covered in balloons and souvenirs, much to the latter's dismay. Bowser, on the other hand, did not have "fun" while swimming, as he claims to have eaten a Blooper. He gets angry and orders Kammy to continue her research on the Crystal Stars.

Back in Twilight Town, Mario and his friends had explained to the townspeople of how Doopliss imitated Mario. The Mario who was taking all the credit for the end of the curse was an impostor and so, the townspeople apologize to Mario for the misunderstanding. Mario and his team head for the Thousand-Year Door, and receive a message from Peach, saying that the treasure is the soul of a 1000-year-old demon. Mario and his team return to the door and once again hold up the map to it. With the next Star's location marked on the map, they visit Prof. Frankly for details.

Chapter 5: The Key to Pirates
The fifth Crystal Star is located deep within a pirate's lair on the southern island of Keelhaul Key. To reach the island, Mario recruits the aid of the fanciful Flavio and the crusty sea Bob-omb, Admiral Bobbery. After discovering Bobbery's sad past, Mario persuades him to sail with Flavio and his crew, one of whom is Lord Crump in disguise (known as "Four-Eyes").

On their way to the island, Mario and his compatriots are attacked by Cortez's Embers, which shipwrecks them on Keelhaul Key. During the shipwreck, Four-Eyes, Admiral Bobbery, and a Green Toad were separated from the group. Undeterred, Mario and his friends venture deep into the jungles of the island. They find the three missing members of the group, only to be attacked by more Embers. Bobbery sacrifices himself, serving as a "distraction" in order to save them from the Embers. Mario and Co. return to Bobbery and help him defeat the attacking Spirits. However, Bobbery says he is close to death and wants Mario to bring him Chuckola Cola as his "final wish". Mario returns to Flavio to request a bottle of the Cola, who agrees to trade it for a coconut, as the cola is a "supply". Mario returns with Bobbery's last request, and he states would be happy to pass away since he and his former wife Scarlette would be reunited, before 'passing away', as it is later revealed that Bobbery was just asleep. After Mario wakes him, Bobbery joins Mario's party and they return to the group. After being voted off to search for the treasure, Flavio temporarily joins Mario's team. With the aid of Bobbery and Flavio's Skull Gem, they eventually discover the entrance to the Pirate's Grotto. After solving some puzzles, Mario gains another ability from a Black Chest Demon: the ability to turn into a paper boat. He uses this power advance deeper into the Grotto and rescues many stranded Toads and the honeymooning Francesca and Frankie Pianta, and finally reaches the lair of Cortez. After a fierce battle, Cortez still refuses to give up his treasure, but Mario explains he is only after the Crystal Star. Cortez is shocked, but he relinquishes his Sapphire Star (because he "didn't like that gem anyway"). Afterwards, Lord Crump abandons his disguise and tells Mario that he will continue attacking him until he hands over the Crystal Star. Flavio and Mario return to Cortez's ship and give him the Skull Gem, allowing his ship to move once again. They use it to defeat the invading X-Nauts, who retreat, along with their leader.

In the X-Naut base, TEC has another surprising assignment for the Princess. Grodus has a disk of private information in his room, and TEC wishes to gain access to it. To this end, he helps the princess make an invisibility potion, which then allows her to infiltrate Grodus' room and upload the disk to TEC's network. After returning to normal, she returns to TEC, who promises to analyze the data. Peach then sends another e-mail to Mario.

Meanwhile, in Twilight Town, Bowser and Kammy Koopa run into Lord Crump, who is searching for the powerful Superbombomb, dropped by the Shadow Sirens. The three get into an argument, Bowser assembles the Koopa Troop, and Crump calls the X-Nauts. Before the battle can start, however, Bowser inadvertently ignites the Superbombomb, destroying both armies.

Back at Keelhaul Key, Cortez ferries Mario and his teammates to Rogueport (and back, later on) on his ship, since Cortez sees him as "worthy" in battle. Mario gets an e-mail from Peach, telling them about what TEC is analyzing. Mario and his team make their way to the door and present their map to it. The next Star's location is marked on the team's map and visit Prof. Frankly for information.

Chapter 6: 3 Days of Excess
The sixth Crystal Star is in the Poshley Sanctum of Poshley Heights. The only way to reach the town is on the famous Excess Express — and the only way to obtain tickets is through the mob connections of Don Pianta. However, Don is sick with worry over his missing daughter Francesca, and cannot grant any favors. After Mario rounds up the couple on Keelhaul Key, they return and DonPianta decides that it is time to retire and leaves the family business to Francesca and Frankie, and gives Mario the ticket promised.

Once on the beautiful train, Mario and his team become swept up in mysterious happenings, including thefts, threatening messages, and the dangerous Nitro Honey Syrup. With the help of Pennington, a penguin detective, they manage to solve the crimes, capturing a fake Zip Toad who was really Doopliss in disguise. On their second day of travel, a stop at Riverside Station is necessary, and Doopliss escapes. On top of this, the drawbridge has been lifted, preventing the Excess Express from continuing its route to Poshley Heights. The gang enter Riverside Station and eventually flip the switch to bring the drawbridge back down. They discover that a group of Smorgs are behind it. The next day, a Smorg Miasma attacks the train. After a long battle, Mario and his friends defeat the creatrue, rescue the passengers, and finally reach Poshley Heights. They venture into Poshley Sanctum, a museum that happens to belong to Pennington. The Shadow Sirens (with new member Doopliss) are already inside, and snatch what appears to be the Garnet Star, on display on a podium in the rear of the museum. However, Pennington reveals that what they stole was a fake, and lets Mario find where the real Star is. After some exploring, Mario and friends reveal a pipe that leads into a painting behind the podium, where the real Garnet Star is found.

Back at the X-Naut base, the X-Nauts tell Grodus that Mario has six of the seven Crystal Stars. Grodus seems strangely calm about the situation. Meanwhile, TEC tells the Princess the extremely terrifying data he gained from Grodus's data disk: the X-Nauts plan to use her as a vessel to the demon behind the Thousand-Year Door. Incensed, TEC prepares to help Peach escape but Grodus enters with two X-Nauts and orders them to initiate the data-wipe procedure. TEC gasps out "I love you" to Peach just before he is shut down.

Later, Bowser learns that one of the Crystal Stars can be found through a passage in the Rogueport Sewers. He travels through it to reach the Crystal Star, and finally claims the treasure in a workout room. Unfortunately, the "Crystal Star" is the fake Gold Star on Rawk Hawk's belt. The fighter enters the room, and is very upset about Bowser breaking into his private "training facility", though he ends up being defeated by the Koopa King.

Mario and his team return to Rogueport and receive an e-mail from Peach, but the most of it is cut off due to TEC being deleted. Back in Rogueport, Mario and co. once again present the map before the Thousand-Year Door. The next Star's location is marked on the team's map and they go back to Prof. Frankly for details.

Chapter 7: Mario Shoots the Moon
The last Crystal Star appears to be on the Moon. To reach the Moon, Mario and his companions travel to Fahr Outpost, which is populated by Bob-ombs, and use a cannon to shoot to the Moon. However, the Mayor tells the group that they must get permission from Goldbob back in Poshley Heights. He, in turn, tells them they must find the cannon's operator, General White. After tracking General White all over the map, he is eventually found resting in Fahr Outpost, and Mario & company enter the cannon and are shot to the Moon.

On the Moon, Mario decides to explore, his actions no longer limited by gravity. Eventually, the group discovers the X-Naut Fortress, and must pass several tricky tests and electrical challenges to reach the heart of the lair. Once they arrive, Lord Crump appears, bragging about his latest creation — the Magnus von Grapple 2.0. After a long battle, Crump is defeated and is blasted into space, releasing the Crystal Star, the final stone in the game and the last key to the Thousand-Year Door.

Elsewhere, Bowser and Kammy reach Poshley Sanctum, and discover the glass Garnet Star that Pennington placed on the platform. They attempt to steal it, but are caught by Pennington. A Paragoomba flies in and alerts Bowser that Mario has collected every Crystal Star and is heading for the Thousand-Year Door, which contains a great treasure. Bowser announces that he will steal this treasure and defeat Mario.

As Mario and his allies prepare to leave, they discover that all of the doors have locked — they are trapped in the X-Naut Fortress. The heroes explore through the lair and discover TEC, who barely survived Grodus's order to purge his databanks. He recognizes Mario and tells him to rescue the Princess, activating an emergency transporter. The transporter teleports everyone into a previously inaccessible room in the Rogueport Sewers. After exiting this room, Prof. Frankly meets them at the entrance and urges them to open the Thousand-Year Door and find the Princess as soon as possible.

Chapter 8: The Thousand-Year Door
After Mario has received all seven Crystal Stars, the time has come to open the Thousand-Year Door and enter the Palace of Shadow to rescue Princess Peach from Grodus.

The Palace itself is full of enemies, puzzles, and traps. Mario must use all of his allies' special powers and abilities to venture deeper into the depths of the palace. Eventually, the group discovers a black dragon named Gloomtail, older brother of Hooktail. The black dragon is outraged over his sister's death and engages Mario and his allies in battle. After being defeated, he relinquishes the key to the Riddle Tower. After solving the puzzles of the Tower, the group fights the Shadow Sirens once again, and discover that the "Professor Frankly" that told them to open the door was actually Doopliss in disguise. After defeating the Shadow Sirens and Doopliss, Mario reaches the Throne Room, where he finally finds Sir Grodus, whom he defeats. Bowser and Kammy, who literally "drop in" unexpectedly, also battle Mario. Grodus uses this distraction to bring the Princess into the deepest part of the Palace. There, he opens a sealed coffin and frees the Shadow Queen, empress of darkness and the thousand-year-old demon soul mentioned by TEC. Beldam suddenly appears and announces that she was the one who orchestrated the plot to free her mistress. The Shadow Queen refuses to be controlled by Grodus, and fries him with a lightning bolt, supposedly killing him. The Queen then possesses Princess Peach, using her as a vessel to sustain her life. The world is covered in darkness, and everyone fears that the apocalypse has arrived.

Mario and his allies fight the possessed Princess, but the Queen eventually decides to fight in her real form. She proves too much for the valiant group, becoming immune to their attacks. Suddenly, a brilliant flash of light emanates from Mario. The Crystal Stars react to the evil of the Queen and fly throughout the world, each returning to where they were found. The friends Mario made on his journey gather around the Stars and send the whole team their thoughts and prayers. Peach uses this distraction to give the heroes all of her power, healing them to full and allowing them to break through the Queen's invulnerability. Empowered, the heroes work together to permanently destroy the Shadow Queen, saving the world.

The heroes celebrate their happy ending and Professor Frankly reveals that there really was a treasure behind the Door after all — a Dried Shroom, proof that ancient civilizations a thousand years ago ate Mushrooms. After saying their goodbyes, Mario and Peach leave Rogueport.

Goombella later sends Mario a message, explaining what everyone has done: she works with Professor Frankly, while Koops plans on running for the office of Mayor of Petalburg. Flurrie has returned to the stage and enacts "Paper Mario" as her comeback smash (Doopliss plays the role of Mario). The Yoshi fights in the Glitz Pit as the "Great Gonzales Jr.", while Vivian has forgiven her sisters; the elder two vow to be kinder to her, and make a home in Twilight Town. Admiral Bobbery sails the seas with Cortez, and Ms. Mowz runs her Lovely Howz of Badges. Lord Crump, Grodus and the X-Nauts survived and are spending their time in Poshley Heights. TEC survived as well, and hopes to see the Princess again one day. The adventure ends when the Princess arrives with another treasure map — and the heroes are off once again.

Trivia

 * Fun Fact: Since the objective of the Reverse Minigames is to lose instead of win, so the winner may be noobs instead of experts! Maybe this type of minigames is to torture experts. LOL!

(I guess this is Nintendo's way of trolling expert players. )

Smash Planet
Smash Planet was a game originally going to be a game for the Nintendo Gamecube. It was announced at E3 2004 and an in issue of Nintendo Power in August 2005. Fans were waiting for the game but it never came. For unknown reasons it was announced cancelled. It's possibe that its elements went in for Super Smash Bros. Brawl because Wario and Ike were originally going to appear in Smash Planet and they're playabe characters in Brawl.

Sports games

Super Mario 64
In Super Mario 64 DS, the star is the same as if it was gotten in the original version of the game that can be gotten in the original way.

("I had to replace this for almost every Super Mario 64 mission... It's no much funny as it is painful." - )


 * the name is a clear reference to Superman 64

(Especially because Super Mario 64 appeared in 1996 and Superman 64 in 1999)

Super Mario 64 (DS) quotes

 * Ironicly, King Boo did see them again, during the events of Luigi's Mansion

("And that's in the quote section because...?")

1 Player Luigi Game
1. First, use the select button or minus button to choose 2 Player Game on the title screen. 2. When the game begins run Mini Mario straight into the Goomba. He will lose a life. 3. Then you'll be able to play as Luigi. 4. If Luigi loses a life you will switch back to Mario. Just keep having Mario lose a life until he gets a Game Over. Then continue on as Luigi.

Super Mario Bros. 3
Another common object is the Goomba's Shoe, only obtainable in World 5-3 of the game.

("Then why is it common?")

Super Mario Galaxy
[...]The player can shake the Wii Remote and make Mario perform a Star Spin. This can also be done by shaking the Nunchuck as it also has a motion sensor otherwise games like Wii sports boxing cannot be played.[...]

References to Other Games

 * Super Mario Bros. 3- Several pieces of music from this game are remixed here. Airships also return. Plus, Mario having three vitality points in the game may be a reference in which it would take three hits for Mario to lose a life if he has a power-up such as the Raccoon Leaf or the Fire Flower in ''SMB3.

("Yes, and Mario begin able to turn while jumping in Super Mario World is totally a reference to Return of Mario Bros.")

Super Mario Galaxy 2
is coming out in october 1

("Note that this article was made before there was much info on the game (and possibly even before it was announced).")

Gameplay
You drive on a go-kart trhough a track, whether it be one of the 3 Ghost Valleys, a Mario Circuit or an area of Bowser's Castle, it's THAT simple...

("Yeah, it's that simple. Except for the items, and the bottomless pits, and the water, and the pipes sticking up everywhere, and the enemy players cheating by throwing items you can't use, and..." - )

Super Mario RPG DS
Super Mario RPG DS was the planned remake of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars for the Nintendo DS. It was going to be released in the summer of 2008. Trailers of the game were released at E3 2007, but, due to legal resaons with Nintendo's co-partner, Square, the game could not be released. It seems the game was going to be an exact remake of the orignial even with the same graphics.

Notable Mistake
If the player loses a life by running out of time, "Time Up!" will be written on the screen instead of "Time's Up!".

(This was a section. For over a month.)

Super Smash Bros. DS
Super Smash Bros. DS is an idea Masahiro Sakurai came up with in an interview about Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but is not an actual upcoming Smash Bros. game for the Nintendo DS, but it may become one. The Interview was with a magazine called Edge.

("Oh great, an article about an idea." - )

Super Mario Sunshine (Nintendo 3DS)
Super Mario Sunshine (working title) is an upcoming game from the Super Mario series made for the Nintendo 3DS. The game is a remake of Super Mario Sunshine for the Nintendo GameCube, bearing some new features on its storyline, gameplay and graphics.

Rumors
Yoshiaki Koizumi, the director of Super Mario 3D Land has suggested that he would like to see Super Mario Sunshine in 3D, along with the Galaxy games. The world may always think Sunshine would be the more realistic choice, but the world may never think think it’s too necessary considering the existence of Super Mario 3D Land. Either way, here’s the full quote:

"I can say that I really would like to see a lot of those games that use 3D worlds on 2D display just so I could see what they look like in 3D and see what kind of different experiences people would have playing through them on a 3D display. So in that sense I would love to see Sunshine and both Galaxy games presented in 3D, and a lot of the Zelda [games] would be interesting too."

Virtual Boy Mario Kart
Virtual Boy Mario Kart is a cancelled game for the Virtual Boy it seemed the game included all the Characters from Super Mario Kart and looked like it had the same gameplay too only 2 items could be seen Bananas and Mushrooms which functioned the same as they did in other installments of the series only 1 course was seen it had a flat ground and a couple jumps that course could of possibly been another the game never had a clear release date and nobody but the devolpers where able to play it it was cancelled because of the faiure of the Virtual Boy nobody really renembers the game since it nwas only announced once

Wario Land: Shake It!
[...] "So Wario is then shooten. When touching another Blast-O-Cannon when shooten will Wario enter in it, and the player can use the same controls as therefor." [...]

("He was shooten. Shooten. SHOOTEN!!??" - )

("The English language is embarrassing." - )
