ULTIMATE MARIO SHOWDOWN

Ever wondered who the most popular character in the Mario universe is? I hope to determine that at the end of this thread.

I have pitted Mario's friends, allies, and enemies, all against each other in a tournament to decide who is the Ultimate Mario Character!

There are 60 characters from the Mario universe going head-to-head, so there has to be someone that you like! Some characters might be obscure, while others might be more popular.

Every day, I will be posting a poll, which will be the day's match-up.
Whichever character has the most votes by the end of the day, wins that round and moves on to the next.

By the end of this all, we shall have crowned the Ultimate Mario Character!

TODAY'S MATCH-UP

MEET THE TOADS
TOAD VS. TOADETTE

(http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/YOSHI2007-01/toad_toadette.jpg)

Toad started out as the infamous Mushroom Retainer who was there to remind you that "our princess was in another castle" in Super Mario Bros. In Super Mario Bros. 2 (US), he was a playable character who had a good blend of power and speed. Toad even got his own game titled Wario's Woods. As of now, Toad has been playable in the latest Mario Party games and has been playable in all of the Mario Kart games.

Toadette is Toad's female counterpart. She first appeared in Mario Kart: Double Dash as Toad's partner and later made her most significant appearance in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, where she helped Mario use his new items. As of now, Toadette has appeared in the latest Mario Party games and has appeared in Mario Kart Wii along with Toad. According to Brawl, she is "adored as a star among the Toads."


Past Match-Ups

Luigi.

I vote Luigi, I seem to always do better with him.

I fail to see how this determines who the best Mario Character is, if we're voting for our favorite character.

Anyway, Mama Luigi.

Luigi! I've always like Luigi better. Whenever I would play Super Mario Bros with someone, I would always be player 2 just to be Luigi. And I always pick Luigi in a lot of the other games. :)
I think Luigi is gonna win by a landslide. :P

Post by: -S- on July 11, 2008, 11:54:08 AM
I'd say Luigi because he never gets any credit.
We need to show up that pompous red prick.
Title: Re: Ultimate Mario Showdown

Luigi's overrated. I prefer Mario's slightly faster movement rather than Luigi's much better jumping.

Die. This is about who is more popular not better.
Title: Re: Ultimate Mario Showdown
Post by: thunderhero4 on July 11, 2008, 06:51:51 PM
Mario is obviously more popular. Even non gamers who see his face already know "Hey, thats Mario!"
Title: Re: Ultimate Mario Showdown
Post by: mario59 on July 11, 2008, 07:03:38 PM
No, mario is more well known. There are millions upon billions of fans who think luigi should be the star of more games. Same goes for waluigi. maybe even more for him.
Title: Re: Ultimate Mario Showdown
Post by: Java on July 11, 2008, 07:08:12 PM
This is more of who YOU prefer.
You can base it on any merits you wish.

I have never seen anyone state that they wish Waluigi to be in his own game.

EDIT: I'm not gonna be updating this for a while. I'm gonna be out of town.

Being good helps with popularity. But since you're not very bright, you probably just want to sound smart and make me feel stupid.

Luigi will advance to the next round.

The second poll is up.
King Boo vs. Petey Piranha

I never cared much for Petey. King Boo is a ghost with a crown  :)

King Boo with the Luigi's Mansion jewel crown.

King Boo.
Title: Re: Ultimate Mario Showdown - Poll #2 is up!
Post by: Java on July 20, 2008, 05:22:02 PM
I would say King Boo won by a landslide, but only 6 people voted including myself.  :-\

Either way, Petey Piranha got no votes.


I'm gonna put the new poll up now.

Baby Wario. Anyone associated or based from Wario deserves the vote

I honestly couldn't stand Wario's cry.

That was just obnoxious.

Yeah...but then again, so were the other ones (Baby DK slightly less)

I found Baby Wario more useful. And then he made me miss him when he went away :(

Baby Wario.
Never played Yoshi's Island DS, but I've always liked Wario. (http://mfgg.taloncrossing.com/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif)

I wish more people were voting though. :(

Anyway, next poll will be up soon: Toad vs. Toadette.

Toadette. I've like her more ever since Toadette came into the scene in MK:DD. :)
