If you wanna see me talk about trains in other video games, watch the other episodes in this series here: ruclips.net/p/PLaNteOr2vXGzUu4b8qHWmfwunh48mf8kU What other games have trains that are worth talking about? Feel free to let me know!
The huge middle wheel on the 'locomotive' in Paper Mario TTYD reminds me of the old 4-2-4 tank engines on the Bristol & Exeter Railway. Those things had ridiculously large 9ft diameter driving wheels.
This video was fun getting to know how you researched all of what kinds of railroad engines, stations, and rolling stock were featured in the Mario franchise. Excellent work and good research, too.
11:09 You know, I never woulda noticed that if you didn’t mention it. Of course, Tomy is from Japan, like Nintendo, so I can see them possibly having taken inspiration from their couplings for the Sunset Express.
@@realchristian77010 I had a hunch that would be brought up. Emily is actually one of my favorite "Thomas and Friends" characters and still is alongside Rebecca.
To a non-Australian from a Sydneysider, I can confirm you nailed the pronunciation of "Tangara". Interestingly, despite me being young (20 years old), I actually remember the Tangaras when they had black ends but I can't remember when they started repainting the ends from black to yellow.
I never thought I'd see amtrakguy365 ever mention my beloved tangaras in a video! Has absolutely made my day, thanks! Their representation in mario kart is absolutely adorable too!
This is a cool series idea, it's fun to see all these trains in a game I already enjoy and play. The lack of overhead power lines on most of the trains is probably just graphics/performance optimization. Then again it could be a choice like those connectors on the passenger cars.
This was amazing. I never noticed the comparison between the Amsterdam Drift train and the Thalys. I can see that. Especially with the shape of the cab but I still think it is a recolored DDZ. The DDZ trains have very broad doors. Just like the train in Amsterdam Drift.
We finally have it. The trains of the Super Mario Franchise. We want more. Every Super Mario Train and railway infrastructure explained. The trains of Bluey?
Hello there, I hope you’re doing well! I’m glad that your “Trains Of” Series is back as I’ve recently realized that this franchise has a surprising number of trains in it. For whatever reason I was re-watching the Hunger Games movies and noticed that there are many trains in them. There’s the high-speed luxury train that Katniss, Peeta, and the other tributes take to the Capitol, as well as some freight train hopper cars taking coal out of District 12. In Mocking Jay part two we see a freight train used by Capitol loyalists in District 2 to evacuate The Nut and a metro train used to transport peacekeepers and armored vehicles underground to defend the Capitol. One thing I’ve noticed in The Hunger Games is the absence of cars, even within the wealthy, high-tech Capitol, most Capitol residents either walk or take the subway. If you talk to any urban planner, they’d tell you that car-centric infrastructure is not the best, and rightly so, as it seems like the Capitol design in the movies follows a pedestrian and transit-oriented urban layout. President Snow may be a despotic tyrant, but he knows the importance of trains as they’re used to extract resources and tributes from the districts, and transport troops and armor to rebellious districts. Another franchise that has a few train cameos in it are the Godzilla movies as even in the original 1954 movie, Godzilla attacks a train, picking it up with his jaws. In the 2014 movie, the female MUTO attacks a freight train, picking up and swallowing the nuclear warheads it is carrying. There are a few scenes throughout the Godzilla movie franchise where Godzilla or other kaiju attack trains, so much so that it’s become a trope for monster movies where there must be at least one time where the monster attacks a train. Thank you for covering trains in media and pop culture as it’s really interesting to see what type of trains are used in our favorite forms of entertainment. Either way, I hope you’re doing well, and for fellow trainspotters, keep spotting those trains in reality and fiction.
Super Bell Subway's designs being European inspired is very fitting. Especially when you listen closely while in the station, you'll hear announcements in what sounds like German. So the track definitely takes place in Europe.
I kinda wished there was a Toronto themed race track with Streetcars and GO Trains featured, as well as Hockey at Scotiabank Arena and baseball the Skydome, I love Toronto
This was absolutely fascinating! While replaying Thousand-Year Door with some friends a few months back I was geeking out over the Excess Express and sharing with them what I though it's inspirations may have been, I cracked up the coupling rods on the leading and trailing wheels to being Powered Boggies like a Fairlie though now that you mention the Heisler design that makes so much more sense! Also, I think I have en explanation for the erroneous inclusion of side rods on the Coaches seen in Kalimari Desert in Tour & 8 Deluxe. While I have no evidence to back this up, I'm fairly certain that the MKTour Developers simple copied & pasted the wheels & their animation from the Engine, shrunk them down and called it a day without deleting the siderods. Since 8 Deluxe (Specifically the booster pass) reuses a lot of Assets from Tour this is probably why this baffling design choice is present in both.
Lazy design is still lazy design, if they really wanted to save themselves the hassle, they could have easily ported the MK7 models. But I guess they want the more squished, cartoonish look
I really love the “The Trains of Games” series and wish for this series to continue for more games like Street Fighter and GTA. Also I personally think that the Steamer locomotive in Mario Party 3 resembles a Los Angeles and San Pedro 30 inch gauge Tender Engine.
The Paper Mario Color Splash locomotive actually looks most like a JNR Class 6760. There are quite a lot of details that pretty strongly resemble it, I think this was the main locomotive being referenced for the final design
Oh wow it actually does! I never even came across that engine in my research lol. I figured it was a generic American 4-4-0 because the old west theming.
2:16 when I was a kid play Mario Kart 64 I was pissed that the Railroad signal was inaccurate to our American Railroad signals also little trivial sega made the same mistake in Sonic Shuffle adding the Japanese Railroad signal.
10:08 Oh yeah I seen the Tangara's they un the same city that I am in Tangaras were Stainless Steel double deckers, Australian made. They were also built to replace the Subway version of the Red Rattler in 1991. still servicing Sydney today
I have huge respects to people who are insanely hyperfixated on one subject. I have no clue what you are talking about other than trains and im all for it.
3:34 I’m almost certain that’s a sound from the Warner Bros. sound effects library (I like to believe this whistle made its debut as the large steam locomotive’s whistle in "Porky’s Railroad")
Such a great video, Was waiting for when this was coming out! Dont know if anyone has pointed this out, 12:00 the trains aesthetics looks to be inspired by the Main Street Electrical parade, or the tokyo equivalent Tokyo Dream Lights train design. Cant wait for more videos!
8:49 it could also be a reference to football player Johan Cruijff. He was designated number 14 at AFCA. Better known as Ajax Amsterdam. The city’s biggest football club. He is considered one of the best football players of all time and the stadium in the south-east of the city was also named after him
2:23 Is it just me, or do others find the standard Japanese Crossing Bell sinister sounding? It's probably just because I associate with Evangelion where it's used to create anxiety during introspection scenes
Also in regards to the metro cars, the corrugated stainless steel car bodies may be inspired from the Stockholm C20 or Bucharest BM2, both built by ADtranz, later Bombardier.
@@drdewott9154 I can agree, but I decided to stick to European examples given that he gave the German BR423 and French MP89 as the examples 🙂 Either way, I'm glad that here Bucharest bucks the trend of metro trains with aluminum car bodies and sticks to corrugated stainless steel to this day. It gives a unique feel compared to every other metro system in Europe.
The Mario Party 8 Locomotive actually closely resembles a mix between a Santa Fe #1010 2-6-2 and Southern Pacific #314 4-6-0. I think Nintendo got those 2 final designs for the locomotive.
There is something that popped to mind that made me think of Shy guy's Perplex express. Looking at the kitchen, dining car, and passenger cars, I believe that the entire train is based on the 20th century limited ran by the New York Central. PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who thought of that!!
My main takeaway from this video is that the Berlin wall exists in Mario cart, implying that both the cold war, and the preceeding events are canon to Mario. There was a nuclear arms race and a Holocaust in the Mario universe
I have tried to write a live action movie based on Evama Animation’s web series Lions’ Light, but when Evama said that I can’t do it, I’m placing it on hold and also rewriting it and making changes for now. Since she’s so strict about the copyright rules web series! Sorry everyone for saying this but this is a spoiler! One of the filming locations was going to be Clark’s Trading Post. (It still is, that hasn’t changed!) there’s meant to be a fight scene on top of the train after the train was hijacked at the end of the tracks of Wolfman’s Territory. There’s not meant to be one but 2 engines on the train! Climax #6 and Histler #4 are meant to to take the train out in this film!
Biggest problem I have with this video: 0:31 You've just gutted your entire video in half. I came here expecting something like the train in MP2 but was severely disappointed to see it left out. If you didn't want to include them that's fine, but your video title was very misleading and on the verge of clickbait. "The Real Trains of Mario" or something like that would've been better.
It’s not just the sunset express - the Rainbow Road train also takes elements from TOMY, specifically the locomotive’s coupling rods (although they’re on backwards on the game model).
Love your vids on comparing fictional locomotives to their real life counterparts! Was wondering that you could not only do this series on video games, but maybe other forms of media as well! Obviously, Thomas is too obvious as almost everyone there is based on a real locomotive, but maybe something like the Galaxy Express/Railways anime could be an interesting topic for this series! I've always wondered if the other trains had some form of basis to them, so it'd be nice to have some confirmation on them!
8:16 I was thinking it was a SBB doubledecker because of the colour scheme, but now that you show the VIRM, it makes a little more sense now. It would be more awesome if they had put a ICM(m) instead since its more iconic. Great video btw 👍🏻
A minor nitpick, but 2008 was pre-CNR and CSR merger. So, technically the EMU-B1's manufacturer would be CNR, not CRRC. The train appears to be derived from the standard type B design, although I think the B1 designation is just a coincidence.
Really enjoyed the video. But does the map in super bell subway more reassemble Harry becks design of the London Underground tube map - Which was later adopted worldwide to places such as the NYC subway map? Just a small thing at 7:46
If you wanna see me talk about trains in other video games, watch the other episodes in this series here: ruclips.net/p/PLaNteOr2vXGzUu4b8qHWmfwunh48mf8kU What other games have trains that are worth talking about? Feel free to let me know!

Trivia: In the Beta of Super Mario Sunshine there was going to be a train system that would take you to the various levels of the game.
I really hope a data leak gives us an idea of what it would’ve looked like.
The BTS EMU B1 and the SRT NKF (One of THN Variant) look surprisingly extremely accurate to the real one
This is a cool series idea, it's fun to see all these trains in a game I already enjoy and play. The lack of overhead power lines on most of the trains is probably just graphics/performance optimization. Then again it could be a choice like those connectors on the passenger cars.
