mario shows no motivation. mario is a reflection of his environment, oftentimes literally. mario has no stakes in his adventures and no real reason to be there at all other than the fact that its what he does
luigi has clear personality differentiating him from his blank slate brother. luigi has purpose in his adventures, luigi has flaws where mario has none, bringing him to 3 dimensions more than any graphical engine can do for his brother
wario has more motivation than all characters in their universe. wario is simple but driven. his personality is finely crafted to the point that any gameplay mechanic that forces him out of character feels unnatural.
waluigi does not allow himself to be the pawn of circumstance. waluigi serves no master but his own whim. waluigi doesn’t want to go-cart this game? waluigi won’t go-cart this game.

No but my dad actually did this at McDonalds in the 70s!
So here’s a true story: my father, sometime in the 70s was looking for his first job. He went to the local McDonalds and told the staff, [manager’s name] said I was supposed to start today. They took his word for it and started training him and by the time the manager saw him and asked who he was, people just said “oh that’s the new guy.”
Somehow this actually worked. My dad worked there for a couple of years as a cook. He even won an award plaque which he had on the wall until the day he died.
I will never stop talking about how much Undertale helped me. I’m still not the greatest person, but I could have been a hell of a lot worse. I owe Toby Fox so much.
It’s why I get so defensive when someone says anything bad about this game because it’s so much more than just a game to me. Even just that one line,
To some it’s a reflection of the journey you’ve been on in the game, but to me, and I’m sure to others like me as well, it holds a whole different and very personal meaning. I broke down into tears when I read it, and still do sometimes. It’s one of those things you didn’t realize how badly you needed to hear.
That’s why I’ll defend Undertale to the grave if I have to. It may not seem like much to some of you, but to others, it was life changing, and to some it was even life saving.
Understand that to some of us, it’s not just a game.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
