4.purpleish black witch
Jeesh, Madame Flurry, (Purple ghost)....did they have to make her....so....bouncy?...Its quite disturbing......
Anyway, one of my favorite games, the storyline is actually semi-developed for a Mario game, I think you'll enjoy it, considering you are a Mario fan.
Does anything really need to be said here?
Yes, actually, and I will state it thusly:
OH MY GOD, ITS A PURPLE GHOST HUSSY!!!
Which is worse? A purple ghost who enjoys kissing or a pink dinosaur who fires the contents of her woom at you?
But indoobably, your point is correct.
Ha, the whole idea of the game is insane. Very original. That's one of the main reasons why I love it. Okay, yes this did hurt my head a lot but i've thought about the game a lot... Do not try that.
Two human plumbers, Mario and Luigi, spend all their time trying to save a medieval princess who rules over the mushroom kingdom which is populated by toads. Toads are humans/mushrooms and besides Mario, Luigi, Peach and any other sub characters, the Toads are the second smartest race.
The smartest race are the dinosaurs, not including Mario and Luigi. The other humans, the cavemen/women, are extremely stupid and are dumber than the dinosaurs and toads.
Mario and Luigi don't really do much plumbing and they seem to be extremely poor even though they constantly visit the princess in her castle. Rather than cleaning pipes they enchant them and use them as warp pipes, thus making them dirtier instead of cleaner, in a literal sense.
The bombs, clouds, cactuses, etc all seem to have faces and minds of their own for some reason. The logo of Bowser, the toughest dinosaur, is a clown and he always seems to travel in clown vehicles. Bowser has many minions and he only ever uses wind-up minions when battling Mario in person.
Mario and Luigi almost never change clothes but when they do they change into animal costumes, one of which looks like Tom Nook.
I could go on but I think even what i've said so far is pretty unnecessary amongst Mario fans. If you think about this you can come up with so much that it's just not funny..
Anyhow I'm just backing you up.

Ah, yes, very good points. I especially enjoy the fact that in Super Mario Galaxy you can feed certain stars interstellar candy, causing them to explode and create a new planet.

be prepared to be kissed by another purple (but not so bouncy) ghost later in the game

doopliss...WHO IN GODS WORLD WOULD NAME THIER CHILD DOOPLISS?!?!?!
