I play as mario, if I had a chance to play mario kart, even smash bros, I pick mario >

I always play Mario in Mario Kart and Smash Bros. I have an overdeveloped sense of loyalty. >

Same. I love the dude. Back in the Smash days beating your friends as Mario felt great. >

A mario spike, is the most cinematic by a long shot >

You’re forced to play as Mario and only Mario in 99% of the mainline games, why would anyone pass up their only chance to not play as him for once? >
