No sexualizing Pauline. She's too pure.
Have they shown too much of the game? There's nothing left to reveal.

Last thread nuked because it had the word loli in it I think. We can't have nice things because pervs ruin everything.

>>714932309 (OP)
I made a theory thread if you want to move into there.
Or, I can have everyone move into here.
Whichever is okay with you.

>>714932458
This is a thread for discussion revolving around Bananza in its totality, though I assume others might be annoyed at theoryposting. This board is infested with sperglords.

>>714932552
Yeah, that one guy posted the old webm of the Treehouse demo, again.
I just told him to leave.
I don't think he even believes what he says.

>>714932865
Not unless they release a banana flavor.

>>714932309 (OP)
>No sexualizing Pauline. She's too pure.
Why would someone even want to do this?

>>714933331
Maybe if they were anti-Nintendo.

>>714932792
Nintendo would willingly erase itself from existence before letting any of the Mario characters have actual development like getting married and starting a family.

>>714932865
Absolutely soulless

>>714932420
That's hilarious. I can kill a thread by just saying loli?

>>714933563

I don't understand that.

>>714933619

>>714933563
They show off Bowser Jr. all the time. They do sometimes.

>>714932309 (OP)
Can I say something? I always hated the Rare DK design, it looked like ass and I am glad they got rid of it.
>b-but muh nostalgia
you're a grown ass man, get over it

>>714934286
I think the difference here is that no one is really expecting Bowser to get the Peach Bowl win without putting up a stink about Jr.'s existence. Implying Mario procreated and had a kid with Pauline kinda makes the chase to save Peach and the "Will they won't they" with Peach a little awkward. If we're to assume this is a sorta prequel to Mario Odyssey, then that make the ending implication of Mario asking for Peach's hand in marriage at the end all the more odd because this would mean he is trying to woo Peach as a married man with a child. Mario isn't getting a kid.

>>714932309 (OP)

Artificial banana flavor is so foul, anon

>>714935672
Call me crazy but I love how obviously artificial it tastes. Similar way I feel about vanilla extract

>>714935349
3D World slop or 3D world slop? Odyssey is pretty shit and basic and this game looks the same, with all the main objectives just being stars laying around in random areas.

Super Mario 3D World is one of the best and tightest 3D platformers they've ever made though.

>>714935771
Nah, I get it. I'm that way with strawberry, even if the Red 40 is giving me cancer

>>714935583
If she is Mario's daughter, then you will have to take back everything you said.

>>714935957
Why does it matter? Do you just want to be right or something?

>>714936062
I amhoping for the best.
If she is not Mario's daughter, then, oh well.

Claiming 3D World is better than Odyssey is like claiming Sonic 3D Blast is better than Mario 64. They're not even on the same plane of existence.

Pauline Jr. is K. Rool's daughter. Gameplay is pretty good

>>714939285
You shouldn't fantasize about plapping little 13 year old video game girls, anon. That's bad.

>>714934910
I was assuming it was a SEQUEL to Odyssey, which would make it track with how that game ended.

>>714940415
In my eyes it's practically a coin toss for prequel or sequel but I'm leaning the former. It'll potentially explain why New Donk City has all the Kong related streets, signage and such. I'm sure within a few days one brave anon will actually get and play the game early, as well as post proof.

>>714940842
The idea is that OG Pauline already has relationship with Donk but Pauline Jr. doesn't know him yet.

>>714941124
It's so odd to see a female with Jr. as a suffix but... yeah it's actually gender-neutral. Very uncommon but it's happened. I don't know that I like it but whatever.

Looking forward to hearing it without background noise

>>714932792
The biggest problem with this is that Nintendo does not care about continuity because they don't want new fans feeling like they've missed out or have to do a lot of research to understand a game that may be their first purchase in the series.

This is why Pauline barely acknowledges Mario in Odyssey and seems like a stranger.
This is also why literally no one knows who Link is in Tears of the Kingdom, including the person who he hired to build his house in the town he lives in where no one recognizes him and little from Breath of the Wild is actually acknowledged.

>>714946403
Forgot to add, same shit as Pikmin 4. They literally retold Pikmin 1 to tie things together in a way new fans would understand.

a week till bananza comes out, I just can't wait bros

>>714946484
Keep edging until the day comes.

>>714946484
I'm going to play so hard when it comes out

>>714944206
This motherfucker

As much as Pauline would have been a nice surprise I'm glad they started marketing the game with her.
I wasn't that interested in the game prior but the Direct showing her, the music and such really sold me on it.

>>714946976
where is the japanese version of the song?

>>714946951
is buster blader funny?

>>714947065
I know they used charles voice even in the japanese versions of mario games since 64, so I wouldn't be surprised if paulines english voice is the one they use in all versions

Looks like the JP version is using the English vocals too instead of having a JP version of the music like they did with Odyssey.

To be fair, most of the songs are jibberish anyway.

Pauline...has something important to say!

>>714936062
Because Mario will jump on you.

"FUCK! NIGGERS!"

Anyone else is doing a DK marathon in anticipation of this game? Given that Bananza is trying to bring back the style of classic DK while having as many references to modern DK as possible, I figured a list of games that cover the classic and modern era of DK should be used.

So far I have:

- Donkey Kong (1981 Arcade, played the NES port)
- Donkey Kong Jr. (1982 Arcade, played NES)
- Donkey Kong 3 (1984, NES)
- Donkey Kong '94 (1994, Game Boy)
- Donkey Kong Country (1994, SNES)
- Donkey Kong Country 2 (1995, SNES)
- Donkey Kong Country 3 (1996, SNES)
- Donkey Kong 64 (1999, N64)
- Donkey Kong Country Returns (2010, Wii)
- Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (2014, Wii U)

>>714932457
>>714947842
kek wtf is wrong with you people

>>714947895
It'll be young Pauline.
Nintendo isn't going to
>break the status quo
>imply that anyone has canonically had sex (Miyamoto literally called himself Bowser Jr.'s mother)
>Have anything that requires continuity
It's not going to fit in anywhere timeline-wise.
See:
>>714946403
Nintendo does not care about this, whether it makes sense or not. They don't want someone picking a game up and having to know any sort of history.
Pauline is a teen via the game being in the past or some magic spell for no other reason than that Nintendo needs more marketable girls for their younger audience.

>>714948124
been running through 64. planning on Jungle Beat and Barrel Blast next. I may replay King of Swing and Jungle Climber if I have enough time.

>>714948284
Could any of those games classify as "mainline"? Sorry, I'm not familiar with the GCN/GBA era of DK

>>714948258
>Miyamoto literally called himself Bowser Jr.'s mother
Sorry but we all know Peach fucked Bowser, I played the original Mario and there is plenty of time to impregnate her while you're looking for the right castle. When you hit Sunshine you just know.

>>714947895
Here's a face comparison.

>>714948408
not exactly. they're all spin-offs. as far as I know, mainline would just be the original 3 arcade games, the 5 DKC games and most likely 64. you could maybe add Land into the mix, but only Land 1 since 2 and 3 are basically ports of DKC2 and 3.

>>714948408
I'd say Jungle Beat counts as mainline. The whole beating the shit out of something at the end of a level originates from that game. It's just an arcade platformer with a weird hut effective control scheme. Heartily recommend it too.

play the Wii version if you plan on getting into Jungle Beat. It's a short game too, so you could finish it in a day.

>>714948493
Why do they all have those blowjob lips?

>>714948508
Figured as much, I include '94 for the classic era there given how big and fleshed out it is when compared to the simplistic Arcade/NES games, also heard some people say that Jungle Beat was also a proper platformer but with a gimmick so I was maybe thinking on adding that one to but I guess I'll keep my list as is

>>714948642
Noted, will try it separately on dolphin after I'm done with the marathon, now if only Nintendo could add that game to the GCN NSO...

>>714947197

>>714948417
>Pauline Jrfags are also NTR Cuckfags
Grim

>>714948807
Cute boy

>>714948847
Actually, I think Bowser had a wife.

>>714948749
both Jungle Beat and Barrel Blast are about 2-3 hours long, if I recall. you could play them as bonus games, if you have enough time by the end of your marathon.

>>714932309 (OP)
>No sexualizing Pauline
FUCK
welp, guess the zip will have to wait till next time and I'll have to just discuss the game

honestly at first I wasnt sure about it, I didnt, as a 32 year old, see the point of the smashing stuff. As a kid or teen it wouldve been awesome, I spent probably 500 hours in the original red faction + guerrilla just smashing buildings, playing demolition crew, simulating a terrorist last stand by spending an hour just laying out cars with bombs and stuff in a parking lot of that one massive building up north, with carefully done, sledgehammering of the building so that when they pass the car park, and im done shooting I can lay a smack down and drop the building

fuck, I wasted so much time having fun blowing stuff up for no reason. DK is going to be a smash (kek) hit with kids or early teens for sure just for that.

But now im more interested in a challenging platformer, DK has more challenge than mario historically and unfortunately it looked like they had changed that. But then the latest direct happened, and I was sold. They showed hints of much harder later game levels and challenge rooms, the game was oozing style and soul. Game has a heart.

it may not be challenging but its definately going to be fun and soulful, it feels like a game from the 90s/00s.

Also I dropped some stuff in one of the last threads so go archive diving if youd like

for anyone interested, in the group chat on schidli where the loli artists hang out, someone is working on a pauline Hgame/scene viewer with 3D models.
Another is working on a 2D one thats coming on well.

>>714946484
The thing I'm looking forward the most is for the first motherfucker who finishes the game and spoiler us about Pauline's whole deal so all these Mario daughter's fanfics can go to hell.

>>714956652
Blessed, thank you anon.

Yeah its getting quite schizophrenic, almost as much as the KRool Kopers.
its concerning how many people are absorbed into this idea of a mario lore or mario timeline
like where the fuck did this come from? When has mario ever cared to bother with a timeline?

>>714956775
that's definitely a plus but I'm mostly looking forward to the gameplay

>>714956652
>in the group chat on schidli
the what? dont gatekeep

>>714959345
Schildi is like discord, a chat room host but more exclusive. Invite only thing.
in there is a cute+funny server that has a room for basically every type of loli content where pretty much all the loli creators exist, games, doujins, mods whatever else are often shown there, shared there or released exclusively there.
>can I have a link
no because /v/ users cannot be trusted and even if YOU can, linking in the open would just spell the end of the whole thing
>okay how did you get in
I had an ATF account for a long, long time and contributed to it openly, and in the early 2024 someone gave me the link to interact with some of the creators on there, then over the year I got invited to the exclusive servers hosted by devs and such.

If you pal around on ATF enough then someone would probably give you a link
I for one got it through Virt-A-Mate creators, and paid for HUMMINGBIRD - both led to individual links to the group, which then gave credit to me to be invited to the deeper servers.

>>714961384
eh, I just care about the pauline h-game whenever that releases. hopefully that gets posted here in the future.

>>714961384
I feel like i'm glowing just reading this.

Pauline is a grim reminder that girls lose their value at age 13.

I promise I will post it if he or she ever releases a version of it, which who knows how long it'll take but progress seems swift so far.
>>714962490
>Pauline is a grim reminder that girls lose their value at age 13.
most girls lose their virginity by the age of 13 too, they just wont admit it (unless you get them drunk enough) so that makes sense.

Pauline will make a wonderful mother to Mario's children.

>>714956775
We can only hope the ending doesn't create a new schizo who eternally crusades against Nintendo for refusing to abide by his pre-release headcanon. The one guy spamming his poor shoops and bad fanart in every thread is already annoying and strange.

>>714969347
I feel like he’ll be even more annoying if it turns out he was 100% right all along and it goes to his head
Frankly imo worst outcome would be if it does turn out Mori Calliope is the va for pauline. /vt/niggers have already been annoying with DS2 and such an outcome would only fuel them further

>>714936334
Yeah but the levels are better.

>>714976175
you mean the same levels reposted over and over

>>714975941
It will not go to my head.
Also, how do we know that Kate Higgins isn't voicing Mini-Pauline?

>>714976342
Logically you’d think so but ever since the rumor popped up everyone's been treating it as if it’s the case. The recent press previews only fueled it further

>>714976841
I think she's being voiced by Kate Higgins.

>>714976342
It is Kate Higgins. She is using her Sakura voice for kid Pauline.

I was surprised the Pauline vocal song was English even in the Japanese trailers.

English is the canon language of mario. If they ever speak japanese, It's for the convenience of the audience, just like how Black Lagoon does it.

Meh,
Moral society is overrated. I embrace mario x pauline => pauline jr.
Also bowser jr. Is peach's son.
Possibly the koopalings themselves.

We are talking about royalty and celebrities. Not even the weirdest relationship out there.

>>714977878
Even Mario Odyssey did it.

>>714977958
So? Its still for the convenience of the audience. You have to unlock the japanese version of the song. It isnt the primary version.

>>714977903
Bowser Jr. is not Peach's son.
Peach is confused about being his mom because she isn't his mom.
Even Bowser Jr. knows that he isn't Peach's son, because it is biologically impossible for him to be Peach's son.

>>714978039
The Japanese song is the original though.

>>714977903
>Also bowser jr. Is peach's son.

This is stated not to be the case literally in the game Bowser Jr was introduced in

it's a different character.

>>714934286
My theory is that Bowser Jr. is basically a clone that Bowser asked Kamek to make.
He doesn't have a mother so Peach babysits him sometimes.

>>714983910
But she didnt. Kate Higgins did; she is the voice and singing voice of Pauline.

>>714982102
The muri muri in the Japanese trailer was so cute. I hope we can change the voice language ingame

lol why is his voice so fucking bad in the trailer

>>714985313
Kate is the singer, yeah, but Mori did the music.

>>714985313
Wasnt pauline's singing voice Colleen O'Shaughnessy (Tails' VA)?

If anything, she could have been a good choice for Loline, since she's used to voice kid characters, and voicing a girl should be easier than to voice a boy.

>>714985829
That makes more sense.

>>714982102
>WHEN I WAS

>>714985829
You have literally 0 proof that Mori is involved in this game at all. Its as baseless and schizophrenic as kid pauline being Mario's kid.

>>714985893
No. Kate Higgins is a trained singer. She is the voice of Pauline for everything. Singing included.

>>714977027
You mean Lissa voice.

>>714986074
>You have literally 0 proof that Mori is involved in this game at all. Its as baseless and schizophrenic as kid pauline being Mario's kid.
Mori said on stream she was involved in a big project that would bring more kids to the stream and was loosely inspired by Journey to the West, right after the Switch 2 direct.
You'd have to be an idiot to not realize.

>>714986630
The main character (Tang Sazang) had a tag-along monkey, the Bananza transformations (Kong, Zebra, Ostrich) are references to Sun Wukong's transformation powers.

>>714932792
The Mario series are a troupe of actors. Every game's story is either a play being acted out, a story being "read" via a book or tome, or is an outright stage play ala Mario 3.

Yoshi's Island is a prequel story played out after Yoshi made his "actorial debut" in Mario World. The babies are separate characters that may or may not be Mario and Peach's children. That's why they all co-exist in spin-offs

Guys, the creator of Mario himself, Miyamoto, has stated as such. To go against how he and by extension his peers see the characters is just silly, any narrative posed that is different from his is fanfiction. Once you realize and accept this it becomes a LOT easier to enjoy the Mario game storylines for what they are.

Though I'll admit when it comes to the more focused Donkey Kong games I'm not as sure if those are going by Mario logic or Zelda logic. K. Rool DOES serve as something of a perfect actor though, and if Bananza is truly poised to be part of the Mario stage play "canon" then that does mean all Donkey Kong games follow that mold as well which... I mean I kinda see it? Mostly only with K. Rool "changing costume" so to speak. Some people like to speculate there's two different Tiny Kongs in-universe lol
