| ==Game opinions== | | ==Proposals== |
| Here are my genuine opinions on every Mario game I've played, organized by console. I give it a rating on a scale and explain why. This is not an insult towards anyone who may have other opinions on these games.
| | *Split [[Mike's Theme]] and [[Mike]], passed 12-0. Apparently I didn't need a proposal for this, but I just wanted to do something people would be able to agree on so I could ensure I was doing proposals right. |
| ===NES===
| | *Split [[Funky's Flights (Bonus Game)]], passed 6-1. A simple proposal, which probably didn't need to happen either. |
| Ah, the NES. It wasn't any good, it was just first.
| | *Delete [[Talk:Destroy Them All|Destroy Them All]], passed 12-0. I kind of regret not naming this "Destroy This Article." |
| {| border=1 style="text-align:center;"
| | *Decide how to handle the music parameter for [[Template talk:Level infobox|Levelbox]], passed 0-0-10-0-0. I wanted to resolve an edit war but realized there wasn't a guideline for this yet, so I established one. |

| | *[[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive_56#Decide_where_to_use_pre-release_and_unused_content_images|Decide where to use pre-release and unused content images]], passed 0-15-0-0. Again, it's good that we decided on a guideline for this. |

There is no way to save, go back to previous worlds, or replay levels.

| |It's the first ''WarioWare'' game, but it's one of the weaker ones. It suffers from quite a bit of trial-and-error gameplay. Sometimes, like in [[Mix & Match]] and [[Slick Wheelie]], I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. However, there are only a few bad microgames in the over 200. The bonuses are pretty fun.

There are some flaws, like a few annoying characters (I'm looking at you, [[Starshade Bros.]]), too many tutorials, and the entire [[Oho Ocean Seabed]] segment, but it's still a great game.

When I first played the game, I remember feeling really disappointed because it was weird and just not fun. I played more and I liked it, but when I replayed it, I found it tedious and boring. I think the cause of this is because there are really good parts of the game, like the Bowser segments at the start from Cavi Cape to Bowser's Castle, to the atrocity known as the [[Energy Hold]].

| |''SPM'' works for what it is, although there are better games out there. Of course, people love this game for the story, and I do too. But after chapter 3, the game just falls apart.

The graphics are sub-par, the soundtrack is horrendously bland and boring, and some galaxies aren't very fun (I especially wasn't a fan of Gold Leaf, which is just a copy-paste of Honeyhive). The most impressive thing about the game is how it manages to not feel repetitive even though you'll sometimes retread the same ground.

| |Technically, this is WiiWare, but I think it's close enough to fit in my Wii section. So how is this successor to ''D.I.Y.''? Well, for one, it removes the main thing about ''D.I.Y.''; the actual D.I.Y. portion. But the word "showcase" in the title already implies that. This game is made up of two good stages and two mediocre stages. I personally think the pre-made comics in this one are better than the ones in ''D.I.Y.'', too. Eh, the game is fine enough, but if you want to try ''WarioWare'', don't start with this game.

| |I'm gonna say it: this is the best ''Paper Mario'' game in the series. Every time I play it, it just gets even better. It's amazing because it has no ten hour-long cutscenes of [[Pennington|annoying]] [[Koops|characters]], unlike ''TTYD''. I spent every second of the game battling, exploring, or solving puzzles. The game looks visually great, the music is wonderful, the stickers feel unique and are all fun to use, and the fact that most Thing puzzles have multiple solutions helps them a lot. The battles are fast-paced and don't rely on [[Audience|cheap RNG-based mechanics]]. Yeah, there aren't many unique characters, but who plays Mario for the story? Playing ''Sticker Star'' for the first time, I had a moment where I realized that a video game was making me genuinely happy, and I'll never forget that.

| This game, along with ''Super Paper Mario'', is the reason I joined this wiki in the first place. While reading the [[Underwhere Road]] and [[Overthere Stair]] articles, I noticed some typos and thought, "huh, somebody should fix those." Then, when I got ''WarioWare Gold'', I noticed a navbox missing from [[Rhythm Tweezers]]. I added it, went back to the ''Super Paper Mario'' pages to fix the typos, and here I am today.

| |World of Light is one of the most agonizing, boring, and repetitive experiences I've ever had in a video game. This game's sound design, to be honest, ''sucks''. Every song in the game not for a specific franchise is an arrangement of the same obnoxious tune. There are at least 25 different versions of Lifelight in the game. Even the remixes are average at best, and none of them are ''that'' good with the exception of DK + DK Jr. Medley. Spirits are a lame and useless replacement for trophies, since you don't even get any insight on who these characters are. The actual Smash gameplay has some fun ideas, with Smashdown in particular, but it feels a little unbalanced.

| |It's ''Sticker Star'' and ''Color Splash'' but worse in every aspect! Most paper graphics are recycled from ''Color Splash'', the soundtrack is exceedingly unmemorable, the writing is overloaded with outdated slang and fourth wall breaks (and cringeworthy song-and-dance sequences), partners are useless besides Professor Toad, and not a single major character is well-written or appealing. The first streamer is amazing and probably the best of the series, but as you go on with the game, the flaws become very noticeable. I started skipping battles in Scorching Sandpaper Desert and was completely fine, besides missing a few collectibles. And why are weapons that you can use 5-7 times before they break at random any better than having 99 one-use attacks? It just means you can't strategize as well because you don't know if your weapon will break in one attack or three. The Vellumental bosses are infuriating and boring, while the Thing bosses are incredibly uncreative and mostly just rely on spamming the Magic Circles (because they're invulnerable to every other attack). If ''Color Splash'' was a step backwards, then ''Origami King'' is the franchise falling down the stairs.
