This is a Trivia question topic similar to the ones in the FF sections, except that it is about Mario games.
The rules are the same as those in the FF6 trivia thread

Quote

Trivia rules:
1) One question on the board at a time please.
2) You may post a new question ONLY if you get the previous question correct.
3) Only post a new question after the question poser has confirmed an answer is correct or is satisfied the answer is sufficient.
4) Follow the normal board rules for off-topic posts. Questions about the current question or answer are still welcome.
5) Do not start a chain of answers (i.e. If Mario asks question one, and a goomba answers, Mario can not answer the following question, whether it be asked by the goomba or anyone who the goomba passes the question to).
6) Have fun.

The first question: In Super Mario World, how does Mario destroy each castle?

When life gives you lemons... SQUIRT THEM IN PEOPLES EYES! Mwahahahahaha! *Squirt* Ow! Hey, that was my job! *Squirt* Knock it off! *Squirt* I want my mommy! Waaah! *runs off*

The moral of this story is *Squirt* Ow! *Squirt* Okay, okay, no morals.

[A] - He jumps/stomps on them.

[Q] - In Mario RPG, what is the name of the koopa who trains with Jinx?

It's gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck can change

MARIO TRIVIA!!! Yeah, Mario rocks ! (Can you tell he's my favorite video game character?) Since there hasn't been a confrimation from SpriteMeister, I'll assume that it is still his question and not Shotgun's.

Now that is a hard question because in Super Mario World, he destroies each castle differently. I can't remeber the number order but because that isn't part of the question, I'll list all the ones I can think of.

• Jumps on them.
• Chips some of them away with a hammer
• Wipes some of them away with a brush of some sort.
• Kicks #4 away leaving a boo boo on a hill.
• Blows some up with TNT and ending up a little fried himself.
• Fortresses with the Reznor(Is that the right enemy name?) just collapse after the Reznor is defeated.
• Last but not least, Bowser's castle isn't destroied, neither the front door or the back.

--------------------

Role reversal at its finest.

here's one; before he was named "Mario", what was his old name?

"Jumpman".

Aren't we still waiting for Tonepoet's answer to be confirmed (since I'm pretty sure it's correct)?

C'mon, guys, he said what the rules are in the first post. Don't break them, or I'll close the thread.

--------------------

"To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly

Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN?

I'll second SF's opinion: I'm pretty sure Tonepoet's right, and it is still SM's question.

--------------------

~Status Report~

* Completed... Dragon's Head
* Completed... Soldiers of the Empire: Disciples (release pending)
* In Progress/Undecided... Of Love and Betrayal
* Planning/Assembly... Where it all Began

I was mostly right but I was wrong. Here's the proper order.

#1 Blown up via a detonator.
#2 Mario jumps on the sides and then the top, turning it into rubble.
#3 Chipped away with a hammer.
#4 Sent away to a far away hill via rockets, then crashes and leaves bandages in its place.
#5 Blown up again, with a self frying twist.
#6 Wiped away with a some sort of brush or squeegee, I can't tell which.
#7 Picked up and kicked away. (Try beating it with small Mario, it looks hilarious seeing him root up the whole castle and kick it away.)

The Reznor Fortresses: All of them collapse almost instantly after the Reznor is defeated, on the world map that is.

"Boswer's Castle" A.K.A. Front Door and/or Back Door survives the end of the game. (Watches Peach, Yoshi and Mario/Luigi, walk out of Bowser's Castle and around Dinosaur World foot loose and fancy free with a happy ending theme.)

Notes: All except "Bowser's Castle" collapse on the world map and additonaly, the numbered castles each have seaperate cutscenes. #3 might alternately have the brush thing too but I'm not absolutly certain.

Even thought I know I'm right, I still have to wait for SpriteMeister's confirmation or 'till sometime tomorrow to ask a question.

Also, I might as well make myself useful and quote the rules from the original FF 6 Trivia thread. After all, I don't want this thread being locked, I love Mario and Trivia. Not to mention some new people might not know the rules to Trivia here and might not be able to get to the FF VI Trivia thread to find them out.(Okay so I just provided a link but just to be safe I'll post them here anyways.)

I propose that there be a two-day limit on each question and/or a limit of two posts per person per question. I don't think this needs to have pages upon pages of posts for each question.

And a question about the rules. Is the two post rule in effect anybody? I don't remember anybody mentioning it. I know the two day limit is in effect. I'm only asking because I'm curious.

Edit

I missed one. Here it is for the sake of keeping everything together.

FF VI Trivia, page 2, Neal
Also, I'd like to propose an addendum to the rules -- it'd be nice if person A didn't answer a trivia question if person B asking the current question answered person A's previous question. If that doesn't make sense, it just means that it can't go between two people all the time. I don't think it's happened yet, but this is just to keep it from happening.

Nyerk!
Didn't realise that some people don't know the rules. My bad.

Moderator Edit

You told them exactly where to find the rules. If they can't do it, it's their fault, not yours. -R51

Correct. Your turn, Tonepoet.
Note that the questions may be about any Mario games, not just the old 8-bit and 16-bit ones.

Thanks SpriteMiester and with "1500" members, I think there would be at least a couple that don't know the rules.

Now for my question, which one shall I ask . . . I know so much about Mario and his many friends but there is also the fact I can't remember most of it. Well here's a somewhat easy question that I can remember. In what game is there a sprite of a Yoshi wearing a crown?

--------------------

super mario bros 3 in the pipe zone.

Crown.... is it the NES puzzle game called "Yoshi"? I'm not sure, my mario knowledge is sort of rusty.

For the sake of fairness I have to say Mewmon's very close but not quite right because he's missing something. That's all I've got to say about it.

Only in the All-Stars version, though. In the original version the king was something else entirely.

Exactly The Celestial, Yoshi was nonexsistant before the Super Nintendo came out. The answer I was looking for was "Super Mario All*Stars in Super Mario Bros. 3." or something of the like. You're up The Celestial.

Another Super Mario Bros. 3 question, then.
What do you need to do to turn the Hammer Brothers into the Money Ship?

Having completely remastered Mario 3 with my roommate this past semester I know pretty much every secret. You simply have to match your coins as a multiple of 11 with your total score 10's place. So 55 coins and 0030150 points for examply. When finishing the level, take care to end it on an even time spot, as each second is worth 50 points.

To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone

You're up Tidu-who.

--------------------

My soul is bound to the Mistress of the Afterlife, and my fealty is to her always. So let's just hope she doesn't use it as one of her ten daily meals.

Well since Tidu-who hasn't asked a question and I didn't answer the last one, I think I'll add another question to the bunch:

In Super Mario World, you usualy end a level by passing a goal post of sorts. On this post is a ribbon that moves up and down. If you hit the ribbon you get a reward of sorts based on how high it is when you hit it. Can you tell me what happens if you hit the ribbon at its three highest points?

--------------------

You get 3 lives ?

30, 40 and 50 bonus points respectively???

My memory is slightly hazy.

I think it's 35, 40, and 50. *misses the banner* "Nooooooooooooooo!"

Is it that you get a feather, flower, or mushroom? I remember that happening but that might be when you carry things past the uprights....

Uhhh...28, 29, and 30 of those red bonus stars that go towards accessing the minigame with the rotating blocks? Haven't played the game in years, so that's a wild and sorta bad guess...

It's sad, two parts of the answer, stranded in seaperate posts. It did end up working in my favor though . Here's "what happens" when you hit the ribbon its the three highest points:

1. You get 50 Bonus points and a 3up.
2. You get 40 Bonus points.
3. You get 30 bonus points.

Sorry, you were close The Ancient but there is no cigar. (To tell the truth, I worded the question so that would happen. If you don't see it, take a closer look at how I worded my question.) But for anybody who wants it, the next question is up for grabs.

Super Mario Bros. 3
- Where are the 3 magic flutes that can warp you to other worlds hiden? Tell me the number of the world and level (for example 1-2 for world 1 level 2), if it isn't a real level tell me what levels or other things it is near and tell me how to get to the places they're hiden

1-3: Hold down on the white platform near the end of the level. When you fall through to the background, run to the end of the level and you'll go behind the black backdrop. Toad will give you whistle #1
1- Mini-boss castle thingy: At the end of the first section, take the leaf, knock out the skeleton (forgot the real name of it) and fly up over the ceiling. Run to the right and press up, and a door will take you to whistle #2.
World 2- Save your hammer you get from the Hammer Bro. in this world and use it in the upper right hand corner of the map. It will take you to an extra area with a mushroom house that always gives you a frog suit, and two fire shooting hammer Bros. who give you whistle #3.

You know, I always expected to see those guys pop up again, you know? Or for the hammer guys to change to some other form (other than in Big World). Oh well.
