I like your fanfic, but you are favoring MarioΒ way too much. I am not saying that marioΒ is not strong or somthing as i already know, he las lots of impressive feats.
but there are few misconception, unless the charecterΒ Mario is comepletly original and not Nintento version...

Not precisely sure which one you're referring to. I know I've done that in the past. I tried to be true to what he's done, but going with his maximum strength in all areas all the time probably wasn't the best idea. And, additionally, not really thinking about who he is and how he thinks, or putting him in any situations where his weaknesses can cause serious problems. Mario, in canon, is generally seen as unstoppable by everyone else, but I definitely took that further than I should have.
With my most recent story (with Pokemon as the crossover), I'm trying to do things differently. One of my goals with it was to improve how I wrote the Mario Brothers - give them a personality, show that they make mistakes, and not have them just effortlessly fix every problem. There's still issues, of course, but I am trying to improve that.
Most of what I had Mario do in older stories was at least vaguely supported by canon. Mario's feats and abilities are pretty extraordinary. Problem was it was always all the way to the limit and I didn't think much about how that worked with the story I was telling.

So you did realize your mistakes, with Super Mario Colors and other your Mario and Sonic Crossovers.
I clearly know Mario has extraordinary feats, but the question is; does he constantly display these strenght? and are they really consistent to his charecter?
Take Azurixx for example; Every charecter has a persionality and are consistent in the canon.
I would say exaclyΒ same thing to Sonic, i would drop reading if Sonic is a replica to Goku.

For Mario to be something unique and extraordinary is consistent to his character, his role in the story and how other characters in his stories tend to talk to and about him. For Mario to constantly utilize the maximum he's shown isn't.
Although I don't think I've made it clear in the story I'm writing now, I've changed how I treat the most extraordinary things he does. In my earlier stories, he just could, and that was that. The way I write him now... He still has those abilities, but it's more like Giant Bowser in Bowser's Inside Story. He can only do that when pushing himself to his absolute limit, running on adrenaline... It's not sustainable or safe.
I also made an effort to treat him as a character, and question how his personality could cause problems, the kind of mistakes he would make, and the kinds of problems he can't solve. Those are important questions to be able to answer.
... It could certainly still be better, but the first step is to recognize a problem and try to improve.

let's just say that he has experience in multiple jobs besides plumbing...
Also what is Mario, if isn't a mustacheΒ fat midget on a red plumber costume, who travels on large pipes and of courseΒ gets powers from mushrooms and flowers. because Italians favourites stuffs.

He seems to generally be treated as a superhero (and has been described as such). Definitely an odd, silly hero, but that's what he is to the Mushroom Kingdom.

nowdays, hope he is not like the classic counterpart whereΒ

Thanks!
... It's an interesting one. I'm actually moving right now.
π: 0 β©: 1
You're welcome.
Well, I hope the process has been smooth so far.

Well, I've moved now. I actually left around 10 pm the night of my birthday. Not everything's unpacked yet, but we've been going through it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Neat. New house nice?
π: 0 β©: 1
Pretty nice, yeah. It's a lot colder here, because now winter exists (it kind of just doesn't happen in a tropical climate). And I'm still on an air mattress for the moment, but my new mattress should be here later in the week.
π: 0 β©: 1
Neat, I suppose. How're your other projects going?

... I am sorry for not saying anything in forever.
I've basically just been doing the same things, except I'm also doing schoolwork now, I've just not really been paying much attention to this website.
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah, it's fine. I'm not all that punctuated either, as you can see.
Well, schoolwork comes first, you know? I don't mind.

Sorry to disturb you,Β it's about sonic generations; I know it's not aΒ cheat code, but done using external tools to modify the game's memory as it's being played, so can this work on Xbox 360, Wii, PS2 & 3: www.gamefaqs.com/ps3/627223-soβ¦

What works for one game on one system won't work for a different game on that system or even the same game on a different system.

I see
what aboutΒ on here: Level Select in Sonic the Hedgehog - www.cheatcc.com/xbox360/sonicgβ¦

You're welcome! ^^ I hope you had a great birthday!

Pretty good. Stayed home, had pizza (i don't really do parties. And all my friends live well over a thousand miles away.)

Okay, that's good to hear! ^^ They're pretty far away.

Thank you!
I got Yoshi's Wooly World. It's pretty fun.

I'm a HUGE fan of your Mario in Sonic World mod! Have you figured out voice modding R6 yet?
π: 0 β©: 1
I still don't know how mods in R6 work, sadly.

You might want to fix the link on your FanFiction.net bio page, as it links to... your FanFiction.net bio page. I took a wild guess that you hadthe same username on both and was apparently right.
π: 0 β©: 1
... Weird. When I looked at it in the editor just now, it seemed like the link was correct. I tried updating it anyway, but it doesn't seem to have taken affect yet.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh well. Could be they hate external links.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, they certainly do, but you're supposed to be able to have them on your profile.
π: 0 β©: 1
Or not.
So, is the Adventures of Mario and Sonic series on hiatus or something to that effect?
π: 0 β©: 1
Er... Not exactly hiatus, it's just dead. Has been for a while. I'm not going to delete the stories, but I'm never adding to those three specific stories again. They were my first writing, and... Were a bit of a mess; and I really couldn't work with what I've got there.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah. What about the Mario/Pokemon crossover? Same issue?
π: 0 β©: 1
Pretty much. Sometimes I have an idea that seems good at the time, but I don't know how to finish. That's not the case with my Sonic story (not a crossover), I know what I'm doing with that and haven't quite gotten around to it, but for most of them... Yeah... Sorry.
π: 0 β©: 1
Eh, I've written myself into a corner before. I'm now on take five for the main antagonist's lines in my own project.
π: 0 β©: 1
I've got so many ideas. Sometimes it's hard to pick the good ones, and I post something I don't know how to finish.
