My favourite thing with this series is it doesn’t give the vibe of reading off a wikipedia article, like I can tell you’re passionate about this.
Aww man, I appreciate this comment a lot. Because while I do use wiki resources, the research has gone much deeper than that and I’m making an effort in going beyond the simple facts. Thank you 🙏🏽
Even just the addition of your sense of humor adds a lot of heart to these research videos
@@TheMentokI just found this video and channel. Just started the video as well but I know exactly what Max is saying. I’ve found videos before where it was literally just reading the Wiki and nothing else.
Props.
There’s this very short period of time before super Mario bros 3 where Mario’s and Luigi’s look were up to interpretation by artists. Really like it.
GOOMBA!!! WALK TALL!!! BE PROUD!!! GO GOOMBA
I have a theory that Bowser’s brother is Morton Sr. And for those wondering why Morton Jr looks so different from him, I’d say he got his appearance from his mom
😳
My own headcanon is that King Boo is Morton Sr but the blue Bowser from Lost Levels was just Bowser.
@@CassiusStelar I can see Bowser’s brother dying in lost levels and becoming King Boo
@@RAY_SIG :3
Bowser should be asking queen Koopa some questions.
I'm always for random vids from random channels about Mario characters that are over an hour long cause why not 🤷 it's just gold ⭐
We also see the princess use a decoy in SMRPG, although this happens so she can sneak out of the castle instead of for preventing another kidnapping. I always found it interesting that Toadstool could dress up a mushroom person to look enough like her that it fooled her guards and attendants, but this is probably just because her servants are not very smart, lol
Princess Bubblegum’s subjects vibes
My twin infant daughters will definitely watch this in a few years!
Some people says that Mario is considered "generic" and a "blank slate" due to being an everyman with a lack of personality, but I'd say that Mario is more of a "jack-of-all-trades" type of character who happened to be designated as an "everyman" whilst fits into any role. He's maybe a plumber, but he can be a carpenter, a doctor, an artist, a chef, a referee, a Smash fighter, racecar driver, and even a Vietnam War veteran.
Not to mention that Mario can show more personality while retaining his hero status, like he can be just as comedic as Luigi in _Mario and Luigi,_ or straight up aggressive in _Super Smash Bros._
I think we see Mario's personality shine whenever there's a more intricate story in play like Paper Mario, Mario RPG, and Mario and Luigi. Even though he serves as more of a silent protagonist I enjoy him most in those titles. But I'd argue even in Galaxy and Odyssey, Mario has a more defined personality.
@@TheMentok "I think we see Mario's personality shine"
Then you think wrong.
Mario never speak in any game. 😒 You don't get to say his "personality shines".
@@MoonwalkerWorshiper Actual existing people can't speak, and thier perosnality shines just fine. You would probably put them into a labor camp though, if political trends permitted.
@@sboinkthelegday3892 No but I would put you in a mental hospital for comparing fictive characters with real people.
@@TheMentok A head-strong hero who does this not only for the heart of the princess, but the people he must help.
Would you consider doing a video like this for your favorite Zelda characters? There are so many videos about their lore and in-universe backstories, but I have a hard time finding anything about how Nintendo developed them in the real world.
Yes, definitely will get to Zelda!
Looking at this history, I'm happy to see Nintendo trying to establish Donkey Kong as a power type on Mario's side like Knuckles, Protoman a.k.a Bruce Crunch Bandicoot, and a regular like toadette, pauline, nabbit, etc. increase Come to think of it, the yoshi island ds may have been a foreshadowing in a sense.
Most exhaustive mario origins video i’ve ever seen
I’ve learned so much making these, both about Mario and how I can make these videos better! :)
0:30 “oh fuck you luigi” 😂
Impressive vid . Thank you .
Thank you 🙏🏽
16:45: Loving the Super Mario RPG remix of the Mario 3 Bowser Boss Battle theme.
I would assume they're just going to make the Mario Bros born in Brooklyn New York again in the movie since it makes more sense rather than being brought by a stork since that's an unrealistic origin that makes no sense, the brothers being straight from Brooklyn just makes perfect sense which also makes sense why Chris Pratt is doing a light Brooklyn
So funny story on the Development on Super Princess Peach, it turns out that it was being developed at the same time with another game called Densetsu no Stafi 4 for the DS as well, over at a development studio known as TOSE. (You guys may know the series as The Legendary Starfy outside of Japan) They were known to be a ghost developer taking on various Nintendo projects.
A few notable once were
Kirby's Block Ball for Game Boy
Yoshi's Cookie for Gameboy and NES
Game and Watch Gallery series for Game Boy and Game Boy Color
Kid Icarus - Of Myths and Monsters
Starfy 1,2, and 3 for GBA
Starfy 4 and 5 for DS
and many more!
A few MODERN examples I would like to share are
The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild Switch port
Splatoon 2
Paper Mario - The Origami King for the Switch (They also did Paper Mario Color Splash on the Wii U)
WarioWare - Get it Together for the Switch
World of Final Fantasy for PS4 (Though they Co-developed with Square Enix)
Metal Gear Solid port for Windows
and MANY more!
The beginning part may be Marios first job in the Mario movie
That we see, you mean. Maybe adapts the birth of their eternal friendly rivalry in a simular manner to Sonic and Knuckles!
Only legends know! This was a great was to spend the evening. Even if I had seen most of it before. Thank you.
What even is that thumbnail text?
"Princess Peach has become beautiful"?
xD
I cant believe I watched the whole thing!!! Great info and editing.
Only Legends Know
Only legends know. Also thanks for this retrospective. I loved the little edits and learning more about gaming history!
Just want to say your vids are nice and I enjoy your content! I never played any Mario games (even the Mario Cart ones) but I am happy learning about something in regards to how Mario was made.
16:35 nah man you don't understand, that's not a gun, that is the device that is used to interface with communications devices in dinohattan. Where humanity adopted mice and keyboards, lizardfolk opted for light guns, I guess.
I watched this movie way too much as a child
Subscribed, good sir. Well done and excellent acknowledgement of others in the comments section.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Only legends know! Your videos are really cool, can't wait to see more!
Love your channel, man!! Suuuuuuuuuuubscribed :D
Honestly man I love your vids.
Only legends know.... >:Y
I just came across your videos and I really love your stuff. Thanks for the cool commentaries!
Thanks for watching! I’ll be sure to keep putting these out :)
Only Legends Know!
9:15 since that DK is cranky Kong, maybe that's Mario's dad dying?
Next Up: Donkey Kong
Can I predict, that it'll probably feature a section mentioning his rivalry with Mario from the movie based on their real world history? It's quite an interesting dynamic!
I’ve been waiting for the DK origins from your series, they have been filling my downloads for a few weeks now and it really helps on my long drives for work not to feel alone! Thanks bro
@@SleepyRPGsuperCharged Glad they've been helpful for you man! DK is on the way soon
Legends never die, they only know! (Only legends know)
This legend is at work 😉
Thanks for keeping me company
I could see the Koopaling being the children of Bowser's brother; making Bowser/King Koopa their uncle. This way they can all still be related without Nintendo's concern of Bowser having too many children outside of Bowser Jr.
If you say so, but that'd probably involve some insanely contrived and convolluted explaination regarding where he has been all This Time!
@@erikbihari3625 If your referring to Bowser's Brother; it doesn't have to be contrived or convoluted. There's plenty of children's media that has an Uncle/Aunt be caretaker to said niece/nephew(s) without any mention of the actual parent(s). Like with the original Ducktails from the 80's or Slappy Squirrel with Skippy etc. It doesn't need to be thought about too deeply.
@@MaryC861. I'm just saying. He's twin would need to be established character wise, where he'd been, ect! I mean, how do you Imagine he's called?
@@erikbihari3625 As I mentioned before he "doesn't need" to be mentioned. But if we "have" to have one he could just be briefly mentioned; say an implied death from some sort of crazy accident and leave it at that.
@@MaryC861. If you say so.🙄😒😑🤔
This is a great video man Ty
No, thank you 🙏🏽
You know, like many people, i like to play video games (duh), but what i didn't like is to trying to get in to video games plot. Because it is one of the big messes out there that you would break your head and make your brain run away. Games like Devil May Cry, Mario, Sonic The Hedgehog and many others, messed up their plot so bad that, i don't even know what is going on. Thus why, i only care for the story in those games that make it right from start to finish. And others, who has messed up plot, is not important.
Yeah I mainly do it for fun in these videos because I know it will never 100% make sense. But strangely enough there are people who get into debates over a lot of these plot points. Nintendo doesn’t lose sleep over the story most of the time 😂
You are the LORD of knowledge. Thank you.
@09:15 Mario passes out in that ending scene, the 8-bit circle above him is not a halo but a dust cloud. 😊
They was a fantastic video!
This is a little unrelated to the main video, but I think you should do some sort of video on Toonami. That was basically my childhood and my biggest introduction to anime.
Okay, I'll definitely do this as an intermission between game series as a one-off :)
@@TheMentokyay!! I hope Dragon Ball gets a hefty chunk
Only Legends Know!~ =3=
Fantastic video man, but seriously you're going to mention Peter Cullin in starcades Donkey Kong but not Frank Welker? Aka Megatron?
I request elaboration!
@@erikbihari3625 check the credits for the SuperCard cartoon. Admittedly he mostly did the extra named characters like DK Jr as opposed to one of the more main characters but still, Megatron among a monstrous amount of other major characters in animation history old and new.
Supercade*
@@KeithDameo. I know who Frank Welker and Peter Cullen are. Just asked wich characters they played!
@@erikbihari3625 I see, I hope it was helpful
Nice video. Keep up the good work. 👍
greatness
Only legends know !!!🍄 good stuff 🙌🏾
I played the arcade version of Luigi's mansion sir 😊
Super not tired of remakes
🎶 dun dun dun dun du duuun DUNNN🎶 DIC! man I remember that shit like yesterday lol
So, the same manual where it says that Toads were turned into bricks also says that it's specifically the bricks that give you power-ups and coins that were originally toads. The items are supposed to be their way of thanking you for finding them.
“Why is he holding his gun?” You gotta rewatch the movie! The gun is how he interfaces with the computer/video phone. I guess it’s a reference to the zap gun? (Or a commentary on how everything in Dinohattan is violent and crazy?)
Yoshi’s Island very much confirms that Luigi is a year younger than Mario like Luigi was with his debut in Mario Bros. Mario probably aged a little while rescuing his brother since he was able to run sometimes with an invincibility star.
How does it confirm that? They're literally being delivered by the stork as Twins
@@priestesslucy3299 Because it probably took 1 year for Yoshi and baby Mario to rescue Luigi. Mario also has traits during the game that are those of a 1/2-1 year old such as being able to run and his wailing being much closer to that age.
In the new film. They imply Mario & Peach will be a thing. I actually love what they did. Just like the games.
That's Captain Lou Albano to you Mr. TheMentok!
1:19:59 I lived in Japan for a few months recently, and they had one of those in the local arcade. I never played it, but I walked past it at least once every week lol
I woke up early so I put this on and fell back asleep
Here's an interesting topic for a future video:-"why does knuckles sound lot older than his friends"? Because I think it's a huge contributing factor in his reputation being cemented As"knucklehead"!
Maybe cause Echidnas have the longest ages outta fox's, Ehcis and Hedgehogs
@@TheReZisTLust. Then how about the stuff before Sonic X, like the ova or Underground?
@@erikbihari3625 huh?
@@TheReZisTLust. Pre Sonic X knuckles=reasonably close to sonic's age. Post=Clancy Brown,like he's balls dropped to the center of the earth,like he's an adult hanging out with children,like he's old enough to be sonic's dad, ect.
I thought Rouge feels older than she looked.
It’s not Jumpman!! Jumpman was a clone of Donkey Kong.
What you mean is “Mr. Video”!!
The term daimaō or daimaou (大魔王 - great demon king) is sometimes used to describe a very high-ranking or powerful maō - meaning Bowser's name is still King Kuppa..
nice video friend
idk i’m probably wrong cuz i don’t know all the history and i’m only halfway thru the video but for bowser and his kids, i like to think he doesn’t actually have any. that bowser jr is just him from the past and the other koopalings are his siblings that died in the past and during the events of some of the mario games they eventually got adopted by bowser, explaining why there is no mom for them.
what drives this theory of mine is that one mario game where luigi and him go back in time and interact with their baby forms.
While I don’t know if the Luigi’s Mansion serves is canon in the Mario timeline, Luigi sensed that Mario was in the haunted mansion.
very good
I don't know if you'll save this or not, but if you go in the internet archive, there's a surviving and free copy of not just the '90s Mario movie, but the directors cut which has like 40 more minutes of deleted scenes. It is an absolute fever dream, including thea strikingly familiar methid of destruction of the World trade center.
I actually grew up with both dic mario ytps and the mario bros 3 show via dvd set I got for a birthday I still own
Mario's voice in The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach is probably best known for his role as Yamcha in the United States, Pegasus Seiya in South America, and Amuro Ray in Japan (although he's played a million roles, so of course his Japanese audience knows him for a lot more; it's just that his portrayal of Amuro is the main thing he's known for, if you only had to pick one).
It's just funny to me that you didn't go for any of the obvious characters he played.
7:29
wow that bean thing looks rather risque lol.
I didn’t know Mario show Korean version had Korean actor in the Danny wells segements
I liked when I thought it was Bowser children
I have one of the older NES versions of the US Super Maro Bros release that still referred to "Bowser" as "King Koopa". So those were still floating around by the time the movie was made.
That original game and watch game was so fire.
Was that an SMG4 short skit you added? If so, thats awesome lol.
It was :)
@@TheMentokThat's cool, don't see references like that very often.
This game taught me the way to put out fires (especially ones coming at me with malice) is to use a gigantic novelty hammer. Unfortunately it didn't work and my house burned down. Damn you Mario, you lying SOB! lol
La-KEE-tus, my dude.
I love this channel so much I’m learning a lot and I’m having fun 🥲
You know it's easy to write something off as non-canon when something doesn't make sense to you.
I really wish there were an ongoing comic book based on the Super Mario franchise. It's an epic fantasy adventure story. It's perfect for comics. I would read every issue. I love the Super Mario Bros comics we got but I want more. Zelda could be a great series too
You probably already now this, but Archie Comics (the ones responsible for the first series of Sonic comics) pitched a Mario comic adaptation to Nintendo, but they declined.
I imagine that the reason behind the koopalings no longer being Bowser's kids may have something to do with the fact that Bowser regularly kidnaps women, which would imply that Bowser is R-wording these women to have his children 😬😬
I join the legend status
Hm, how very interesting, what’s next for these Characters?
Journey to the West was really popular in the 1980s.
Ok I love the use of different game and anime music. I never expected Danganronpa.
Danganronpa series is one of my favorites 🙏🏽
Been playing the Mario Bros since their inception
32:00 which YTP is this from again?
So is the "king" last mentioned in SMB3?
I thought the Jump Man cameo at the end of the Mario movie was clever.
Mario could also be "marionette" like a puppet on a string which you control. I'm in charge! controlling Mario. Very smart. By puppet masters. I'm in charge now. I choose Life ❤
Only Legends Know
That thumbnail gives me major Twinkle Nora Rock Me! vibes... MAXU!
26:20 A color swap was found in the game, just unused.
Rest in peace Etika
This channel wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him 🙏🏽
Unrelated to my other comment, but who did the artwork for the pic in the thumbnail?
“Suppa Mario Burasas(u)”
A Wahoo moment
ITS'S PLUNGIN TIME !!!
You know, this makes me ask myself, what would happen if someone were to remake hotel mario but in cel animation.
We need a video on toonami
who did your cover/thumbnail art?
only legends knows, thanks for this super mario bros wormhole
Who's the guy voicing the Toonami ads? He sounds like Tank Dempsey.
