Why did E.Gadd give Bowser's son a tool that could destroy entire civilizations?
Why isn't Shadow Mario an alternate color/skin in Super Smash Bros?
Da world may never know.
>>334328874
Bowser Jr. stole it from him
Why not? Someone had to test it out and E. Gadd was probably too busy ghost hunting to do so.
Question is, why would he even make the paintbrush? It doesn't do anything to ghosts, I think.
>>334329054
DEEPEST
>>334328874
Some men just want to watch the world burn.
>>334329054
E Gadd's primary focus is the paranormal, yes, but the dude makes a shitton of other stuff like FLUDD, a time machine, vehicle parts, etc.
If anything, he's actually quite the industrialist as well as international tradesman(given that he's the one that developed the tech to turn Beanbean beans into coffee and also franchised it), and ghosts(and Mario universe zoology in general) are his passion and what he uses the proceeds from his inventions to fund research and excursions into.
Yes, the paintbrush fucked shit up bad, but think about what it can do.
Something that can create portals that function like the warp pipes without the need of someone like Mario to maintain? Can spawn life? Can store things the size of large buildings in a thin layer?
Yeah, it fucked up the environment something bad but the technology is amazing.
>>334328874
Maybe he profits from the war economy?
>>334328874
Because stop playing children's games you crippled autist, and act your age.
>>334331704
but I was a child when I last played it
>>334329054
>E. Gadd was probably too busy ghost hunting to do so.
Is Sunshine chronologically after Mansion? I feel like it should be before the events of Mansion.
>>334331704
> on /v/
> don't play children's games
Wew lad.
>>334332286
Yes, it's after Mansion. Bowser is still considered dead during Luigi's Mansion.
>>334332664
In what game does Bowser die prior to Mansion?
Better question is why hasn't Gadd appeared in more recent titles besides Luigi's Mansion 2?
Because he's old as fuck.
>>334332753
64.
>>334328874
Super scientists are much like wizards. No sense of right and wrong.
>>334332918
Bowser didn't "die" in 64, what sort of DEEPHUST LORE bullshit are you spewing now?
>>334330550
So, he's the Professor Farnsworth of the Mario universe.
>Send Mario & co. off on suicide quests
>Owns his own business
>Invents weird gadgets that may not be utilitarian
>Performs dangerous, and potentially apocalyptic experiments
>Invents doomsday devices for fun
>>334333548
If anything, Bowser died in Super Mario World. Think about it
>Bowser's army of tanks, hammer bros, and airships is wiped out in SMB
>Bowser resorts to using dinos and ghosts in SMW in retaliation and is defeated.
>The specter of Bowser takes over Toadstool's castle and creates alternate dimensions in paintings in Mario 64
>Bowser's ghost is defeated finally in Luigi's Mansion
Keep in mind that in Mario 64 we never actually see Bowser in the castle, only in his constructed worlds.
>E Gadd meets Fawful will never happen
>>334334245
>E Gadd is Fawful
>>334333548
>DEEPSHUT LORE
64 takes place before Mansion 1 in the main series of Mario games, and it's explicitely stated in Mansion 1 that Bowser is dead.
He didn't give it to him, Bowser Jr. just won it in an internet auction.
>>334334205
The paintbrush stolen from E. Gadd was the same one that was used to create painting worlds in 64.
>>334334310
DEEP

T
>>334328874
Where did Bowser Jr. learn how to make all those machines?
>>334329054
Probably invented it to have something to do with all those ghost paintings he has.
>>334330550
If it didn't have the weakness to water, that paintbrush would probably be the most powerful piece of technology in the Mario universe. And I miss it. Why did Nintendo have to switch it out for the mini Clown Car?
>>334330550
Wait a minute.
>Splatoon was originally supposed to be a Mario game.
>We're still not entirely sure why Squids are made of Ink
>The paintbrush can mutate life forms.
>The Inklings are descended from the local squid population around Isle Delfino!
This also may mean that Pikmin and Splatoon take place around the same time, although not at the same scale.
>>334328874
Because E Gadd isn't a nice guy. The plot for Luigi's Mansion 2 is recovering his artifact that allowed him to enslave the surrounding ghosts
Bowser Jr. probably stole it and acted like it was "given" to him.
>>334334392
>it's explicitely stated in Mansion 1 that Bowser is dead
when?
>>334337626
Fortune Teller lady mentioned it.
>>334337626
He died in the first paper Mario. If Mario games do follow a chronological order bowser is revived by King boo in LM or every bowser after paper Mario is a fake bowser controlled by King boo.
>>334331704
No.
>>334328874
Because he's half senile and likely easily duped.
Or Jr. stole it, either or really.
>>334328874
Because kE. caGADDa
>>334338139
Bowser Jr seemed less moody and more gee-wilikers back in those days, so I'd lean towards the former.
>>334338359
Are you trying to swear in spanish?
>>334329524
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWBsbxF17AI
He is literally a child with an undiagnosed mental illness who has the whole world fooled. Luigi can understand him because he too is insane, why else would he hunt ghosts in a haunted manor?
>>334338139
If Paper Jam is to be believed, Jr really is that pathetic and miserable that he just gave him the thing out of pity not realizing he was Bowser's hellspawn.
The idea was just to frame Mario at first. It's only when they put Mario on community service instead that he starts really going to town.
>>334338987
Where else would you hunt ghosts? in a Denny's?
>>334339109
There would plenty of ghosts in a Denny's from heart attacks induced by the all day breakfast.
>>334329037
The line is literally, "Strange old man in a white coat GAVE it to me"
Because he thought he was Mario.
The disguise wasn't made by the brush.
>>334337936
Even if there is a chronological order, Paper Mario is likely on it's own timeline or in another universe or something, separate from most other things.
>>334339306
Then what did make it?
>>334331704
Middle school is tough, I know. Someday, hopefully your life will get better, and youll be able to just chill with fun games.
>>334339073
Maybe Jr was already looking for his mother before he got to Delfino and Gadd found him crying or moping about it and gave him the brush to 'make his wish come true' and find his mother.
>>334339235
>The antagonist's son is absolutely incapable of lying. Vandalism and assault is on the table. But he'd NEVER LIE

The bandana
>>334339486
The bandana activates the disguise.
>but how does it work
Maybe Kamek made it, who cares.
>>334339640
And what made the bandana? We've never seen a magic disguise work that way in the series before or since.
>>334339768
>We've never seen a magic disguise work that way in the series before or since
a..strange..old..man......in..a..white...coat??
>>334340051
Yeah, but his body didn't morph and become paint-like.
>>334339768
Yoshi can put on a hat and become Mario, Luigi, or Wario in addition to being able to use their unique body-altering abilities.
>>334335687
Nintendo probably lost interest after they had no need to show off the Gamecube's sick liquid effects.
>>334332286
A staff member in Hotel Delfino's vent system references the events of Luigi's Mansion. For a while it seems like 3D Mario had an actual continuity.
I really want them to do some Mario spinoff game that pretends the series has some sort of consistent canon. Obviously you'd have to play it for laughs, but I think it has the potential to be both pretty funny and have some interesting shit.
Maybe make it star Bowser Jr. and get all of the voice actors from Sunshine to reprise their roles; the cutscenes in that game were great.
>>334340252
>Yeah, but that was a transformation brought out by game play needs, not a story element. But I see your point
>>334340429
I'd honestly like that too. I wouldn't mind voice acting in the series if it was kept to a spin off. Too bad that'd require dedicated effort, which Nintendo has been aggressively avoiding these past few years.
>>334340429
>I really want them to do some Mario spinoff game that pretends the series has some sort of consistent canon
so Mario & Luigi?
I just want a Sunshine HD. Delfino Island would look great with an update.
>>334340619
I only remember the first game doing that with the E Gadd cameos.
You know what I wanna know? How the fuck has E. Gadd not been playable in some Mario spinoff by now?
>>334340883
Don't ask me. I really wish they used Mario Karts as an opportunity to trot out a bunch of spinoff/minor mainline characters like E. Gadd, Toadsworth, Kamek, Captain Syrup, Mona Pizza, Starlow, Fawful, Pauline, Tatanga, et cetera, but they just keep loading it up with babies, metals, and generic enemies.
The hell was Mario doing in Dark moon again?
>>334340874
>Fawful has a shady business in Partners in Time, returns in Bowser's Inside Story
>Popple, Kylie Koopa, and bean people return in Dream Team
>Bowser keeps his inhale from BIS
>Starlow shows up repeatedly, brings up their previous adventures, and mentions the Year of Luigi
>Petey uses Sunshine goop in Paper Jam.
>Bowser cryogenically froze Shroobs.
>Bowser remembers Luigi's name
>>334341050
King Boo tells you he kidnapped Mario so Luigi would try to rescue him and they'd have a rematch
Is E. Gadd even relevant anymore? I dont think I saw him past the GC and Advance era.
Did he pull a Toadsworth and die off screen or something?
>>334340883
He's one of my favorite Mario Maker costumes.
>>334341534
Consistent canon with itself, not the main series.
Even in Paper Jam, guys like King Bob Omb act like he's never seen Mario before.
>>334341657
>Dark Moon
He's also in Mario Maker.
>>334341657
He's in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.
At least, I think he is. I haven't played that shit in years and don't actually remember.
>>334339235
He lied you retard.
>>334340358
>implying
Captain Toad referenced SM3DW's story as well
>>334341657
I don't get Nintendo's logic at all. "Make it more traditional" they said "Only use guys who appear in Mario games they said," yet Toadsworth has been thrown under the bus and even Jr got shafted out of Mario Kart in favor of Baby Space Slut.
Is it true Toadsworth isnt in Paper Jam? Fucker's always been there.
>>334341014
Kamek was meant to be in 64 but got replaced with DK and has been cukked ever since
>>334342149
Hell, DIDDY got shafted. The character who had his own fucking racing game.
>>334341736
Paper Jam references Captain Toad
Dream Team references SM64
PiT references Yoshi's Island
SS sort of references Sunshine
>>334342149
>and even Jr got shafted out of Mario Kart in favor of Baby Space Slut.
Well that's a first. Most people tend to blame the Koopalings for Junior not being in Mario Kart 8.
>>334342149
>implying Jr. didn't get the boot to make room for the Koopalings, the rehashed whores of 2D Mario
>>334342345
That's because it was an asinine decision to include seven mostly identical characters in such a small character roster
>>334342438
I know right.
Mario, Metal Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi
>>334339235
>No one ever lies about anything, especially not bratty and villainous sons of evil koopas who want to take over the world through military might
Baka Shinji
>>334342602
Don't forget Tanooki Mario, Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, Pink Gold Peach, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Baby Rosalina, and Cat Peach. And like 9 Bowsers.
We need a spin-off game featuring Bowser Jr. During the events of SMG3 he runs away from home to a far-off planet where he becomes a hero to the local inhabitants. Fill in the blanks.
>>334342161
He died off-screen. I'm not joking.
>>334328874
Better question, if Nintendo can get this technology working in a video game, why don't they get it working irl? A paintbrush like that would make them big bucks.
>>334339615
>>334339629
>>334341949
>>334342772
Not that anon, but it wouldn't surprise me that E Gadd would give him the paintbrush just like that, we are talking here about an old man that sold King Boo portrait.
>>334344298
Don't forget he has a remote that has a RELEASE GHOSTS button.
>>334341050
>>334341609
Also implied that E. Gadd called Mario first instead of Luigi, I guess that's the thing Luigi is better at.
>>334345393
How does Mario keep jobbing to ghosts? I know can't kill Boos in most 2D games but come on.
>>334343528
>Luigi's Mansion 3
>Toadsworths ghost shows up in the final fight.
>>334345458
Exactly.
Luigi uses gear, while Mario probably goes in unprepared.
>>334343968
What
>>334328874
Because he's a cuck
If boos are tougher and harder to beat then Goombas (Imagine playing a NSMB level where all the enemies are replaced by boos) then why doesn't Bowser just massacre his own troops to "level them up"?
>>334329032
because he's not mario hes his enemy, separate character
>>334345645
Because boos dont obey bowser silly
>>334345891
What about the koopas at least. Dry bones do. Mario couldn't use their shells anymore if Bowser just killed them all.
>>334345773
But what about the shadow link skin?
>>334331704
But anon, all games are children's games
>>334346035
Nigga do you even Zelda lore?
>>334347141
Not him but shadow mario gameplay wise does the exact same shit mario did but without fludd.
Only reason why things like that aren't alts is because Sakurai really fucking dropped the ball with them. Blood Falcon is literally screaming to be a alt.
>>334348243
R u havin a giggle m8?
