I hope that the original Superman movies are the not the blueprint for all gaming logic …

A Bowser-centric is a brilliant idea! Nintendo, GET ON THAT!

Though, dear lord, should Mario ever run left in a platformer, the world might start spinning backwards. Kind of like Suprman did in the original movie to save Lois Lane. Surely that screwed up some stuff world wide.

Stay the course, Mario!

I still want a Super Bowser game where Peach and Mario go on a vacation and he has to fight off boredom. Maybe mix Mario platforming with Rampage-style destruction?

Either way, this is the real kicker: HE RUNS LEFT.

Ah, he is pretty cool, isn’t he? It was too good a Flickr image to pass up!

Ooo, Dark Riku is a toughy. He’s way too spry from his own good. I beat him only once, and that was quite enough!

Here’s hoping that Bowser remains Mario’s primary nemesis for many games to come. I just can’t imagine the series without him.

Hear, hear.

Also, that Bowser action figure in the photo is brilliant and I must have one.

Mario is pretty incompetent at permanently vanquishing Bowser, isn’t he? How frustrating. But, it’s good for us, because we get more games. I think a hearty “thank you” is in order for His Horribleness. Bowser is indeed a tough enemy to beat, which only makes our victory against him that much more satisfying, especially since he seems to show up in more games than any other villain. (Recently, I had a similar experience when beating Dark Riku in “Kingdom Hearts”. Even after beating him twice before, he is always very tough for me, and when I fought him this third time, my hands were shaking so badly, I thought I’d need to pause the game and take a quick break.)
