85. Turtles can have wings.

86. In ealry Mario games, going left was never an option.

87. Fish can jump out of water and injure or kill someone.

88. The Koopalings in the Super Mario Bros. cartoon had different names than in the games.
89. In said cartoon, the Koopaling swere in fact Bowser's kids.
90. The Super Mario Bros. live-action movie was going to be turned into a game, but the movie did so poorly that they never did. Because of this, Street Fighter: The Movie is the only video game that is based on a movie that is based on a video game.

91. SMB3 had more powerups/special items than any other Mario game.
92. Also, in SMB3, you could usually only warp to World 8 if you use the Whistle on World 7. But if you have two Whistles, you can warp to World 8 by using the second Whistle while on the warp zone screen.

While SMB3 certainly had a lot of stuff, and also bearing in mind that I'm not a fan of the 3D games, and I may be mistaken, I think that's false.

SMB3 Powerups:
Mushroom
Flower
Leaf
Tanuki Suit
Frog Suit
Hammer Suit
Star
P-Wing

The additional special items:
Jujem Cloud
Kuribou Shoe
Hammer
Recorder

Misc
1-Up

THat's thirteen. (I don't recall any that I had missed.)

Galaxy 2 had 12 special powerups, alone, plus the normal stuff.

THen, there's Super mario RPG, if you count that.

I can't follow all of the powerups in the 'New SMB' and the 3D World series. Lots there, too, but Galaxy 2 takes the biscuit.

SMB3 Anecdote

I had always played the JP version of the game, and in that version, being hit while powered up with a leaf or flower, reverts you to small Mario. The non-JP version is severly Nerf'd.

88. The Koopalings in the Super Mario Bros. cartoon had different names than in the games.
89. In said cartoon, the Koopaling swere in fact Bowser's kids.
90. The Super Mario Bros. live-action movie was going to be turned into a game, but the movie did so poorly that they never did. Because of this, Street Fighter: The Movie is the only video game that is based on a movie that is based on a video game.

(Emphasis, mine).

Do you have any references on this? I find it quite fascinating, and I wonder what form it would have taken. Heck, I'd have played it. I happen to enjoy the SMB film.

I feel like making this, now, and giving the code to Nintendo; or selling it as WiiWare. People would play...and /buy/ this for the camp factor.

This is off-topic but I will respond.

For SMB3, you left out the Music Box, which puts the Hammer Throwers on the map to sleep, and the Anchor, which stops the Airship from moving if you die on it. That makes 15. I haven't played the Galaxy games, so perhaps I was wrong about that, though.

As dor the game based on the movie, all I have to go on for that is internet rumors. It might or might have been considred, but it certainly was never made. I think it stands to reason since the game already existed.

And now can we put this thread back on topic?

93. Man-eating plants live inside pipes.
94. Some of these plants can shoot fireballs as well.

95 - Since her last appearance in the series (The Mario VS DK games with the toy factories), Pauline has since become mayor of New Donk City (which is heavily implied to be where the original Donkey Kong games took place) which before appearing in Super Mario Odyssey, had something happen to it offscreen during the events of Super Mario Galaxy, though this is never further elaborated upon.

96 - In SMO, Mario can us his hat that is possessed by a ghost of sorts named Cappy (because puns) to possess other creatures and objects that don't have a hat on them already (this is literally the only requirement to be immune) unless Mario knockc the hat off, then they are free game.

97 - Using Cappy, Mario can take control of almost anything, even Pauline making it the only (currently) canonical time that Mario is female. It is also the only confirmed canonical time Mario is inside Pauline (HEEYOO!!!)

98. Donkey Kong has never entered the Muhsrrom Kingdom looking to give Mario some payback.
99. Luigi has never tangled with Dinkey Kong (to my knowledge)
100. Despite being "Super" Mario in three prior games, he does not acquire a cape until the fourth game (SMW).
