Mario’s Bombs Away has always been the most baffling out of every obscure Mario game. The implications that Mario was sent to die in the Vietnam war is so outlandish, especially considering that it’s never been acknowledged since
Nahh Mario would've immediately joined the VC. Working class man? Red clothes? Raised fist? Weilds a hammer? Stomps goombas? Fights for liberation? Mario is a comrade for sure
@@kingkoopa64 Jungles weren't bombed. Men, women, and children living in Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia were bombed. There isn't a single innocent US Vietnam vet
I had a friend that had the mario DDR, she was really good at it so must have been decently responsive. Mario would get into trouble and solve every situation with a dance off it was pretty funny.
Mario picross is lowkey one of my biggest obsessions. The SNES one is on the nintendo switch online and it’s so fun to play with a long RUclips video in the background. Dr Mario Express somehow came with my DSi and I loved it on a long car ride and the couple games I brought with me were getting boring.
Same, My Nintendo Twilight Princess Picross was a fucking gateway drug, these games steal dozens of hours of my life each. They're super chill, it would make a really good live service game, just cranking out puzzles constantly.
I remember DDR Mario Mix since my sister bought it when it was brand new; the mat was actually very reliable unlike the mic, so it was actually fun to use.
Right, the DDR mat was just a collection of buttons disguised as an ugly rug. So there are way fewer variables with 8 binary inputs compared to a microphone and game having to measure volume and pitch and the player having to be the right distance from the mic to get accurate results.
My buddy had DDR Mario Mix on the Gamecube and it kicked ass. There was always something so bizarre about watching Mario pull off those sensual dance moves. Was still fucking great, and Waluigi is a main villain, which is fucking wild.
Nah, one of the most obscure/missing Mario games is Waluigi’s toenail clipping party. It was an official flash game that was used to promote Mario Tennis 64 and yes, it's supposedly disgusting as it sounds.
i was kinda disappointed that the part of the iceberg you covered here was 99% games i already knew, but im hyped for the second part anyway cuz this video is fire
🤓Akshully, you forgot the most obscure Mario game Hôtel Mario 2. It was only available to download on flip phones in Canada, and was a crossover between the original Hôtel Mario and Ed Edd n' Eddy with a dedicated "I Hope She Played Lotsa Spaghetti" controller peripheral, and a minigame where you pinch Wendy's pennies and avoid them pinching back- (Okay, I made that up, but that's basically how insane some of these real games can really be.)
I remember I rented Mario is Missing and Mario's Time Machine as a kid from the local video store and I remember I was at a total loss when I found out it wasn't like Super Mario World. I didn't even understand english then so I was like ''WTF did I just rent?''. I just supressed my memories from those game aside from the surfing minigame for Mario's Time Machine.
I owned DDR mario mix on gamecube back in the day with the dance pad and everything. I was a mario-obsessed 8 year-old so take it with that grain of salt but I had an overall positive experience. It’s definitely a solid DDR title with a lot of content (at least 20-30 songs) and great visuals from the various mario worlds/assets, as well as a few new ideas (i remember a theme park level). My friends would come over and it was enjoyable in multiplayer. I was say a good amount of replay-ability due to the multiplayer as well as various difficulty levels you could try out as you get better. It was definitely solid for what it was trying to be!
I remember the classroom computer in 2nd grade had Mario FUNdamentals on it and I loved playing Go Fish and Backgammon even though I didn’t really know the rules at first but then I got good at it
Puzzles and Dragons is an awesome game, the gameplay is really fast-paced and addicting, and it's a lot of fun making the ultimate party, given the sheer amount of characters you can mix and match.
Its weird how mario land 2 was obscure i mean it was one of the launch games for the game boy nintendo switch online emulator for crying out loud! Its also weird how I knew every single one of these. Great video btw
2:59 people are supposed to have emotional reactions to trivial things. In fact people are supposed to have emotional reactions to everything. If there is a single thing in the whole world that doesn’t make you feel any emotion at all you objectively have depression.
"sucking up and flashing ghosts" i wasnt watching the video and just listening to audio, so that gave me a really hearty chuckle. Cheers Gambado, banger as always.
Fun fact the Mario racer arcade uses the GameCube graphics cpu & gpu but a beefier version of them. like the old iPhone & the iPad example iPhone 6s max uses the A9 chip & the iPad Pro 9.7 used the A9X chip
Bro I love the underrated DS games aka super princess peach and Mario hoops 3 on 3, I loved Mario hoops 3-on-3! It gave us White Mage in a Mario Style! Also love Mario Land 2! That’s the better one, also my nephew has Mario maker 3ds. I also had Mario pinball land on the Wii U and I hated it, I was so bad at it, it was horrible I hated it so much.
in school i knew someone who had the Mario DDR game and one day during a special event at our school he brought the game to class and it was a pretty fun game. DDR in general is also just a fun rhythm game
I do remember playing a bit of that Mario x Puzzle and Dragons game, although I haven’t played the original phone release lol. I think the version I got allows you to switch between the original and Mario themed one (and so I played more of the original unfortunately :P). It’s fun
I remember playing Mario's Time Machine ONCE as a kid, and never again. I don't ever recall being told any of that stuff about the surfing mini game, so I'd wander aimlessly there, then be transported back to an area where you could put in a date in the machine, but I was maybe 6 when I was playing it, so I didn't know too many famous dates. Perfect waste of a rental
Super Princess Peach was genuinely a lot of fun imo, I've always been sorry it didn't get as much recognition as it deserved imo. Would have loved a sequel!
It bugs me way more than it should that nintendo goes "hey here's a game" then takes away any way to use it rather than allowing some form of local play. Flipnote hatena had an amazing catalog of stuff but now it's just gone thanks to nintendo. Pokemon rumble is one that could've easily worked offline but nintendo instead decided that no one should play it anymore after only one year, even people who downloaded it before it got taken down
100 percent. It really wouldn't take much resources for Nintendo to make these games work offline. I think it's even worse for the apps since people paid money (in some cases) and all that content they bought is unusable. Really bad practice by Nintendo imo
I actually played ddr Mario mix on an actual GameCube and I was on a time crunch so I ended up beating the game first try in one hour and when I needed to leave I had JUST got to the credits it's a memory I keep remembering every once in a while
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who felt that way about the Luigi's Mansion 2 arcade game. I didn't last two seconds in there before leaving it. Thankfully, no money was spent.
Mario DD had me thinking it was for a whole new system, 😂you still need a n64, who would get a lower quality Mario with longer load times if they could dish out the money for that unnecessary attachment anyway??😂
I unironically think Puzzle & Dragons Z + Super Mario Bros is a certified 3DS hidden gem. It was so underrated in its time, yet such a fun experience. To this day the game still has one of my favorite osts of any game
I owned and played through DDR Mario Mix, and that was indeed core memory unlocked for me. It was entertaining to me since I enjoyed rhythm games, and if I could play DDR at home (plus if that was Mario themed), that was more than enough for me. My only complaint was the difficulty, with even the hardest mode being a little too easy.
I grew up with DDR Mario Mix, even beat it a few times as a kid. Honestly it was great. The mat worked well and the songs were fun. I'll never forget beating bowser in a break dance battle.
I played DDR Mario Mix (on the GameCube, not emulated!) so much my dance mat died. It held up for a few years, because they were made by the same people that made all of the DDR mats for Konami. If there is one thing it could have benefitted from, it would be more actual Mario music. 10 of the 29 songs are just public domain folk and classical music pieces. Nothing from Mario 64, Luigi's Mansion, or Sunshine. Admittedly three of the classical tracks were used in Mario games, but they were the weird games like Mario Bros. (no Super) and Yoshi's Cookie. My wife actually still has her copy of Puzzle & Dragons Z/P&D SMB Edition. She didn't play the Mario version, just the regular one. There's a hard wall when you get the the Dark element portion of the game, where the first stage requires you to be over level 30 to stand a chance of beating it properly. You're probably level 15 by the time you get there. I hear the Mario side is more straightforward and doesn't require as much grinding.
I actually had the real DDR Mario with the mats and everything. Gameplay wise it was as any DDR you’d expect and some of the remixes were fun, but it was more targeted to kids (the story is generic and every conflict is resolved by a dance off, which is kinda hilarious) and if you were already quite good at DDR, the game was easy. The hardest songs were way less challenging than any other DDR game I ever tried. And I was 19-20 years old at the time, so the game didn’t cut it for me, but had I been 5-10 years younger I think it would have been great. Hope you enjoyed my review!
I've played SO MUCH Fortune Street it's not even funny. Was me and my friend's favorite game for years, up there with Mario Party. It's more popular in Japan, I guess, but I wish we got a new release on the Switch or something..
About that puzzle and dragons thing, its weird. I never played the mario one but Ive played similar, they actually stop feeling like a puzzle game in a way, its weird to explain. Its like the different colors are different attacks, i mean they are, but idk like I said its weird. Try it out, its really not as puzzley as it seems. I mean it is, but its not. Feels more like.. resource management maybe? Idk if thats better or worse lol. I dont think its gonna be life changing or annything, but Id bet anything youll have fun for at least a few hours. Thats the main problem with those match 3 battles, theres enough strategy and stuff to keep it interesting, but its a match 3 battle system it is what it is lol, the 100th battle wont be too different from the first, other than you getting better
Thanks for the insight, I figured it would be a much more entertaining game than a regular game of candy crush or something similar, but your right that same formula over and over to see it to the end could get repetitive. I like the idea of thinking about it as resource management rather than a puzzle game tho, seems less daunting weirdly lmao
How is mario maker 3ds even on a most obscure Mario games list??? I'm reading the iceberg levels and scrolling through the timestamps and I would only put about 5% of these in the conversation for "obscure" mario games. I hate to say it but if a Mario game was released onto a successful console/handheld and you have never heard of it, you're not a Mario fan.
I actually remember the Princess Peach game being advertised on one of the flash game websites I would visit regularly, but the ad was masked as a game banner. 😂 As a kid I was really into all that cutesy pink stuff and cute female characters, and I also loved platformers, including the Mario rips that my favorite websites had to offer, so I thought the Peach game looks really cool and was a bit disappointed I couldn't actually play it on the PC. 😂
31:38 I didn't play either 1 of these version, but i did technicly play a version of this game... in a platform fighter. You see, there is an indie platform fighter named rivals of aether, the base game is somewhat small, specially in it's roster, the gameplay feels inspired by smash mellee but it's unique & has a world of it's own & it supports steam workshop It has way more then just character & stages & someone has literally put a whole game mode into rivals that is an unnoficial version of this game Well... it's more specificly based on the gameboy gallery version
I'd say the biggest thing about Mario Teaches Typing 2 is that this is the debut of Charles Martinet's Mario in a home video game. That head is based on a live 3D model he was hired to perform before becoming the official voice of Mario. For some reaon, a lot of sources lwave out the 2 when talking about this, acting as if Martinet played Mario in the original Mario Teaches Typing, but he did not. That game still uses the typical Brooklyn voice, and Martinet himself says he used the high pitched voice in his first game, ehich he also said was a typing game.
OMG! Mario’s Game Gallery! We played this all the time on the school computers. Mario’s checkers ai was like a freaking chess robot. I swear to God he was borderline unbeatable. But in Go Fish he was a joke.
As someone has beat DDR: Mario Mix I can confirm its fun as hell Edit: I played it emulated without the ddr pad but can still confirm even with button controls its still extremely fun
29:52 omg this game is so nostalgic for me. i remeber playing it on my old 2ds when i was like 5? but i never wanted to play the mario mode i always wanted to play the other one for some reason
Ddr mario mix, ive playrd it. Itsa good for what it is, if your emulating it and playing it like fnf, you are NOT getting the same full experience (also play as luigi hes cooler)
I think the inspiration for Fortune Street came from the Koopas Tycoon Town board in Mario Party 8 which has a similar Monopoly like gimmick, but more simplified.
One more thing about Mario's Time Machine: It's RIDDLED with historical inaccuracies, so it even fails in the education department, too.
Same thing with Mario is Missing
@brare45996 i forgor 💀
Last I checked, Mario didn't give Isaac newton the apple that helped him discover gravity, so there's one.@brare45996
I think the NES version is more enjoyable
So not only it's a bad Mario game but it's also a bad educational game? That is quite hilarious.

I feel bad for the Wacky Worlds staff. They really wanted to make a true Mario game after Hotel Mario was such a weird departure.
"Link's beer pong odyssey" honestly has strikingly similar vibes to "Link's crossbow challenge" which actually exists

31:38 I didn't play either 1 of these version, but i did technicly play a version of this game... in a platform fighter.
You see, there is an indie platform fighter named rivals of aether, the base game is somewhat small, specially in it's roster, the gameplay feels inspired by smash mellee but it's unique & has a world of it's own & it supports steam workshop
It has way more then just character & stages & someone has literally put a whole game mode into rivals that is an unnoficial version of this game
Well... it's more specificly based on the gameboy gallery version
I'd say the biggest thing about Mario Teaches Typing 2 is that this is the debut of Charles Martinet's Mario in a home video game. That head is based on a live 3D model he was hired to perform before becoming the official voice of Mario.
For some reaon, a lot of sources lwave out the 2 when talking about this, acting as if Martinet played Mario in the original Mario Teaches Typing, but he did not. That game still uses the typical Brooklyn voice, and Martinet himself says he used the high pitched voice in his first game, ehich he also said was a typing game.
OMG! Mario’s Game Gallery! We played this all the time on the school computers. Mario’s checkers ai was like a freaking chess robot. I swear to God he was borderline unbeatable. But in Go Fish he was a joke.
I personally think Mario’s Time Machine NES is better than SNES.
As someone has beat DDR: Mario Mix I can confirm its fun as hell
Edit: I played it emulated without the ddr pad but can still confirm even with button controls its still extremely fun
29:52 omg this game is so nostalgic for me. i remeber playing it on my old 2ds when i was like 5? but i never wanted to play the mario mode i always wanted to play the other one for some reason
peach futaba my beleved....
Ddr mario mix, ive playrd it. Itsa good for what it is, if your emulating it and playing it like fnf, you are NOT getting the same full experience (also play as luigi hes cooler)
I think the inspiration for Fortune Street came from the Koopas Tycoon Town board in Mario Party 8 which has a similar Monopoly like gimmick, but more simplified.
