So inspired by the "Mario villain poll" (which lacks my favorite -.-) I decided to write my opinions about the Mario villains and give some "scores" to those villains. I will make this in two parts (all on the same topic) . First being from the baddies from the beginning to the 2001 (king Boo being the last) and the second is for the RPG baddies. I shall note that I won't include Donkey Kong, the Koopalings or most of the Wario or Dk spinoff villains (with two expections). So without further ado lets start with
Bowser
Bowser. Probably one of the most well known and iconic villains of gaming. He is almost as important to the series as mushrooms, coins or the red plumber himself. Without this arrogant, Peach obsessed turtle the series won't be the same. He is the rival/ arch (fr)enemy Mario needs to have some kind of purpose. At his best he can be hilarious, badass or even threathening. (BiS is pronanly the best Bowser so far...altho some of the more recent platformer Bowser and the Smrpg Bowser was good as well)
However despite this I do not think he is that great. Like a lot of people here I think he is slightly (okay a bit more than slightly) overused. He is a staple rival but I wish that sometimes we could have another villain , just for change. Also he isn't that great in every single game either. At his worst he can be slightly...idk boring or just forced. In the older games he was just the final boss and nothing else (correct me if I am wrong). Also in some games (PiT pops in my mind) he is just there...because we need Bowser. In some gamed he is pretty...laughable (TTyd had quite decebt Bowser.. expect the whole "dudes who talk to posters thing. It was hilarious tho) Also I still havent forgiven him (or the creators at Nintendo /Alphadream) for just... overshadowing and betraying Antasma in dt...(even if I otherwise kinda liked this incarnation of Bowser ) more about this at later
So in the end I like this villain. Slightly overused but a classic..
Score: 8
Wart
Wart was the main villain in the second Mario platformer, super mario bros USA and only appeared in it and its remakes (as well some comics). I dont have that much to say about him. An okay villain but not that special (other than his vegetable hate hehe) . Would be nice to see him to return
Score: 7
Tatanga
He was the main villain in super Mario land. He was the first (and only) villain to kidnap someone else than Peach (Daisy in the case...correct me if I am wrong). He was also the first villain to be revealed to work under another villain.
Not so much to say. For some odd reason I kinda prefer him over Wart but yeah. Nothing else to say I guess
Score: 7
Wario (and Waluigi)
The two michevious brothers who are the evil counterparts of the Mario bros. Wario debuted originally at Mario land 2 and returned in sereval other games, getting even his own spinoffs). Waluigi appeared at a Mario tennis game (to be Warios partner).
What can I say? I like them. Yes Wario is that greedy nasty fat bastard who wants all the money and Waluigi is his cheating brother (or is he). Yet for some reason I find them enjoyable. Not the best as villains but still a fun duo (I need more Waluigi darn it...)
Score:8
King K. Rool
King K. Rool is one of the two expectionsi I talked about. I mean he hasn't been in a Mario game but guedd what. He is a classic, almost as classic as Bowser himself and in my opinion much better than the Koopa. I mean he was threathening, enjoying AND could always bring something new. Definitely one of best villains in the whole franchise and one of the best villains Nintendo ever made. A shame that he has been "replaced" by some boring and bland villains as Tikis (no relation to yours truly) or Frederick and his army (nothing against them but lets face it... K . Rool is way better than them.Well lets hope he is in Smash 4
Score: 9
Captain Syurup
Captain Syurup was the other one of the two spinoff villains I wanted to discuss about here. While not as known ormemorable as King K. Rool I still felt to say a word or two about this pirate lady (for those who don't know her she's Warios arch rival, a pretty yet dangerous pirate lady and the leader of brown sugae pirates). First of all she was the first female villain in Mario universe and that alone should make her worth mentoining. She is also a pirate and well I like pirates (Johnny boy is the best Marioverse pirate IMO tho.. just saying). Also her michevious, greedy and slightly flirty (what I know of her xD) nature has made me to like her
Score: somewhere between 7 and 8
King Boo
The last for today is no other than my favorite villain (and character) the king of ghosts and master of illusions, king Boo.Originally I planned to put Smithy on this part as well but then I thought "maybe I should put him at the part where the other RPG baddies are." So thats why no Smithy to you (for now)
So where do I begin. King Boo is prehaps the Mario character that made most impact to me and who I love the most. A sinister ghost who is one of the most threathening baddies in the Marioverse (second only to Dimentio). Yet he seems to care for his subjects and be not completly evil in thiscase. Plus he is quite enjoyable character. Sinsiter and enjoyable = perfect combination if you ask me. He is the Bowser to Luigi, his arch enemy, his worst fear.
This makes me to wonder why don't we get much king Boo. I mean he hasnt even cameod in any of the rpgs (which I am upset of..) and appears rarely in non LM games. And when he appears he isn't as awesome... still this doesn't change my opinion. Best villain in the entire franchise. Even if he wasnt my first favorite (more of this in the next part)
Score: 10 (or at least a VERY strong nine)
So thats all for today. The RPG villains part will come soon. Maybe not tomorrow tho since they are VERY LONG (some of them)
