I think the biggest victims here are grocery stores.

A nerr's dream

I dunno, the whole "eat the player" move was Francis's main form of attack. Plus, the tongue could work as a grappling hook.

News update: Corona virus strikes the mushroom kingdom, Toad Town under quarantine. Transport of goods from Toad Town to ? Block Installation Services (?BIS) has stopped. We are waiting to find out whether or not Mario can defeat Bowser without power ups, and where the princess will go when rescued. An Excavation below Rogueport has revealed an underground complex. There seem to be many Dry bones scattered about, as though some massacre occurred there. Live on site, we have Kolorado reporting his finds. "Our current findings have led us to believe that this was a palace of some sort, though we are yet to find the ruler. After scouting the place out, it seems as though somebody else got in here and looted all of the treasure. There are likely still hidden rooms left to find, so we'll continue searching." We interrupt this news broadcast with these messages: Have you ever felt like GETTIN' SOME BEEFY CHUNKS? Stop by O'Chunks gym and GET CHUNKIN'! Our main place is in Yold desert, just west o' Yold Town. To sign up, just call 274-0CH-UNK5 #CragleyHo!

I heard that King Croacus the seventh sprouted today!

Wow

OMG YES!!! Those were my childhood! I had a part of the bowsers castle set and the crank back ones! Those were the bomb!

I remember a small piranah plant set, an ice race course with penguins, a "track expansion set", and one of the really big sets. I also found an old YouTuber I used to watch who made custom track elements called K'nex trackmaster https://m.youtube.com/channel/UChvZJ1ko97mvCakSfkNT9bQ

I've seen K'nex trackmaster before! His tracks are cool, especially the motorized parts. It's a shame that the sets cost like 1000$ otherwise I would get them.

I owned the Chain Chomp one, never did anything outside of a crappy loop tho

I remember having a fake wii remote, and where the batteries were supposed to go instead came with smarties.

I remember those. I wanted one when I was younger. I wanted to bring one to school and fool people thinking I had a real Wii remote when it would just have been plastic and candy.

Whos the 5th or 6th

Update from FCNB (Flint Cragley News Broadcast): We here at FCNB care for the safety of our staff and as such will be working remotely in separate offices due to the threat of COVID-19. You will still get your daily broadcast news but it will be of significantly lesser quality without our studio and camera / boom mic men. All upcoming interviews (yes, including the one with King Croacus the 6th on the royal baby) will be canceled until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience. As always, Cragley Ho!

Bro that looks sweet, and nostalgic af.

Thats great i own the bowsers castle one and pihrana plant one i would connect those together i still have 3 karts and characters Luigi Wario And peach missing a head

I just repaired my mario wind up bike using legos. It works pretty well!

same wi

same with o'chunks for me

Is it because O'Chunks is a chunky boi?

Guess that's a thing. Not exactly how I would have imagined it, but yeah, it exists.

This really surprised me. I feel like if Nintendo launched this a few years ago, it could have been much more successful. They missed their opportunity then.

Yeah. I saw a BOTW stable made by a fan. It looked really nice. If Nintendo stopped being a huge leech and spread out through the market even more, they could get even more sales.

if it doesn't work at first, try clicking the options on the left side.

it should

11/10 great discussion

Wow! That's so high technicaaaal!

My life has been forever changed. BTW I agree

Chapter 1 didn't really get good until 1-4, but otherwise it's pretty great. Also, Mr. L is technically 3 of the chapter bosses (Mr. L and Brobot, Brobot L-Type, and Super Dimentio). Chapter 6 could have had something like "Titan O'Chunks", I think that would have been better. And yes, I agree that Francis gets a Francis/Francis.

The music for chapter 1 is nostalgia to me especially 1-2 and 1-3 but the whole game is because ive been playing it since i was young Love this game because of nostalgia

Alright, seriously I think it should be more like the first game. The epic cutscenes and dark backstory made it stand out, in a good way. I'd love to see something like that in a main series Mario game again, a lot of them are kind of bland nowadays.

i got a very creepy and weird feeling when i looked through the keyhole in fort francis

There was no decoding rhyming or riddles. She just straight-up told me.

The fortune lady helped me with the end of Merlee's Mansion.

And more like 1, I didn't really like 2. I didn't like that it was levels. 1 had more atmospheric environments; 2 had felt more confined.

In like my 5-6 playthroughs of the game I've never actually consulted her. Wicked, never even knew she would be that direct.

I think I might have talked to her once or twice, but I already knew what to do and decided it was a waste of money.

Oh wow.

THIS WAS OBVOIOUSLY NEEDED
