Funnily enough, 1 of the most underdocumented feats in Mario is the Metal Mushroom.

Specifically, the version that appears in Mario Party 5 (I think?), 6 & 7.

Besides making the user metal, it makes them immune to traps, shown as the character literally fighting away the trap's attacks.
Knocking away Amps (Which use Electricity.), Podoboos (Fireballs.), falling Spiny Shells, headbutting a falling Thwomp to send it flying, etc.

It's a neat display of skill, maybe meant to homage the Metal Cap from SM64 that grants invincibility.

IT'S JUST A SHAME THAT NOBODY DOCUMENTS IT.

To see those animations, you need to use to roll well enough to pass an opponent's placed Roadblack Trap (Red Orbs only; Yellow don't matter, & Green & Blue Orbs usually don't affect spaces.) on the same turn that you use it.
& since its only functional effect is immunity to Traps that usually only take away a few coins.... Well, it doesn't see use very often. : (

It's a shame, since it's probably a nice amp (Aligns with how Metal Bowser is at least heavier in MP2.) for Boo & Koopa Kid at least (Playable in the GC MP trio.), as well as Dry Bones from MP7. Since again, normally a Thwomp can crush a character flying, but Metal Form characters utterly overwhelm it.


I wonder if the fodder get anything similar via coins.

This is just like Morton Cards in Paper Jam.

The fight is so easy and they incentivise you NOT to use those cards so most playthroughs just have them getting stunlocked and one-shot.

Yeah.

Well if anyone happens to see some good Metal Shroom footage, please bring it up! Or other good obscure footage!

You just wait until DB gets to talk about Among Us & Fall Guys cosmologies.

With Among Us being in space, I almost expect that. But since it's more just workplace horror.... Eh.

& Fall Guys, while lore could be interesting, it doesn't feel like the kind of game with many outlets to deliver it in. They'd have to do some real good visual storytelling, while not clashing with their aesthetic.
Is there even any of that stuff so far?
 
Ngl I'm split on Eggman vs Bowser. Like I genuinely don't know who wins, I've seen endless back and forths on how their abilities interact, I've seen some compelling arguements against Sonic scaling as high as this site has it, I've seen fuckling Roblox be mentioned unironically.

Atp all I'm going with 'who wins?' 'Depends on if your asking a Sonic or Mario fan'.

The fallout for this going be generational

I feel the fall out heavily depends on how death handles the explanation and verdict also depends on how good the fight is

If they don't hoe Eggman in a laughable way and give well good reasonings for it folks would be fine

This.

If there's nothing goofy then it'll be fine. I don't want to see their arguments about how a universal feat is actually 4-A with Uni+ hax.

I deadass almost got roped into buying an arguement with roblox as it's basis wtf is this community doing 😭💀
Click to expand...
Yeah. The Roblox game is canon. It's crazy. We got Metal with canon speed steal meaning Bowser's troops speed advantage is moot, we got Eggman with a RESET button that can rebirth the universe, we got the Time Stones having actual feats. It's crazy.
 
Like everyday I watch this debate evolve as they discover some obscure Bowser army peon with hyper specific hax that unironically counters or gives him an advantage.

Next day, f'ing roblox scaling for Eggman evens the playing field

Day after that, another hyper obscure Bowser peon is unearthed like some ancient fossil again

Now most of the posts I see as of late are just memes about suspiciously chaos emerald shaped Kamek, he ated them, and Bowser and Eggman giving each other backshots (I genuinely wish I was kidding)

Personally, I'm on the fence, but a bit confused.

Why do we think Bowser has a chance??
Is it purely because DB's match isn't going by our standards?

Like, 1 of the more obvious points is: How can they deal with Sage, theoretically or otherwise?

If you wanna go for bonus points, let's say explain how Bowser's side wins with only stuff already on the profiles. No extrapolating or speculating about what DB will do.
Completely Watsonian (Rather than Doylist.) explanation, sort of, you know?
