Mario's always had this sort of "showtime" feel about it. Even Mario 64 had a camera man following him around the whole time.
This is true. I guess I hadn't thought of it that way.
As for Mario 2, that was like a Western character-swap of a Japanese game... sort of like Wario Blast and Pac in Time... And it was a dream, so who knows.
I know it was just a western release of a obscure Japanese game (Doki Doki Panic), but it's left it's mark (you now see Shy Guys and Bob-ombs walking around, and even Birdo makes random appearances at times). Makes you wonder if Mario 2 was more then just a dream.
