Also Kamek is NOT beating out Bowser Jr.

Kamek has good hax for sure but Bowser's Minions gives him Damage Boost against Magikoopas and he has his own list of abilities Kamek just wouldn't resist either. Not to mention fighting his own father for weeks. At this point Jr. is outclassing Kamek in almost everything but extensive magic usage.

I believe without explicit confirmation of how many axis there are, we'd just call it higher-dimensional manipulation/existence.

First of all, this would be going from 4D to 5D, right? Considering the Mario cosmology in this instance is 4D, self evident to say. So, with this weapon, wouldn't this grant Mario 5D ap?

And what about my other question, is it correct?

 

[Accelerated_Evolution]

Also, a few questions. First of all, saving is acknowledged by characters in-universe and there are even sentient save blocks, heavily supporting the ability for Mario to try the fight as many times as he wants, so, logically speaking. Can nobody really keep Mario permanently down?

When the saving system was ever acknowlegde as canon?

Second of all, Mario with the cutout is able to transcend the boundaries of space and time. And this refers to actual spatial dimensions as there's a section in the game where Mario needs to use the cutout to flip from 2D to 3D. A new axis of movement. So, wouldn't this be Low 1-C?

"Transcend Space and Time" ins´t enough for Low 1-C

it is stated in Super Mario RPG that, in-universe, Mario saves automatically whenever he enters a new area. Because of this, Mario should get all the benefits of Saving, and would automatically save at the start of a Death Battle. And at multiple points, it's noted to be canon. Save Blocks, items specifically used to save, have been referenced in dialogue multiple times, including most recently in the Super Mario RPG remake. Saving as an idea is also mentioned multiple times by in-universe characters. Additionally, there are entire characters that are sentient Save Blocks. Just like extra lives, the amount of times saving has been referenced in-universe indicates that it is canon.

"Transcend Space and Time" ins´t enough for Low 1-C

You're ignoring the other part which affirms that the ability allows you to go from 2D to 3D, literally going to a higher axis.

 

[Foxthefox1000]

To be fair there is a quote that says it transcends dimensions or something as well.

But idk. You'd need to make a very good case for a Tier 1 upgrade nowadays

 

[Foxthefox1000]

So I wasn't crazy Junior really IS the creator of the Secret stages

In case the link doesn't go to it it's at 2:55

Well, "transcending dimensions" and "transcending space and time" seems to just refer to the universe and not actual spatial dimensions. But the fact that Mario literally flips his spatial axis is the strongest evidence.

This is just the characters breaking the fourth wall and explaining the saving mechanics to the player, similar to Bowser explaining how to beat Fawful in the first M&L game, the text color ins´t something canon, this is just him explaining the mechanics of the game

I ain´t ignoring it

This doesn´t correlates to your first sentence, Mario ins´t going from the 4th dimension to the 5th dimension, he is just "Transcending Space and Time", which nowhere gives a Tier 1 rating

One statement directly talks about spatial axis, the other doesn´t

 

[Foxthefox1000]

I think it's accepted as higher dimensional on the profile isn't it? Maybe it should be changed then if apparently it's not accurate.

I do think regardless that being outside of the universe and it's space-time should grant something though.

 

[Foxthefox1000]

Ah, nevermind. I distinctly remember having Cutout mentioned on the profile but I guess maybe I was wrong or it got yeeted.

 

[ZespeonGalaxy]

However Matter Splatter does offer a possible 4D argument at least from the Japanese.

Erm that's a hyperbole can't be 4D1!1!1!!1!1

 

[Foxthefox1000]

I really don't get that argument. Hyperbole? Are Galaxy levels known to exaggerate and be hyperbolic? That just seems weird. And consistent translations support the spatial axis kind. The "it can just mean the science fiction space" argument doesn't hold up when you consider the other languages.

 

[ZespeonGalaxy]

I really don't get that argument

Only applies to Mario did u forget where we are at B)

 

[Foxthefox1000]

True can't have anything

Posting this here, too, in part because Mario has Zelda games on the Wii U, too.

It's apparently come up recently a bit, despite being known about for at least a year.



This YT video by Nin10land reads off several of those Twitter posts -If you prefer to listen about it rather than read; There's likely better coverage. Sorry for my negligence- & opinionates on some of the matter.


From what I understand, it has something to do with discharge while the power is off, & this leads to memory corruption.
Supposedly, according to RetroBlastUS's Twitter posts (Linked above.) chipsets affect how bad it is, with the original white-coloured Wii U having better chipsets, & black Wii U having worse ones, apparently due to Nintendo cutting corners, with Hynix chips apparently being a bit disreputable.

It SOUNDS like this takes a while. Months, maybe a year or more, but still. Better to err on the side of caution.

I advise plugging your Wii U in, if you have one & it's unplugged, ASAP, just to be safe.
