Mario and Luigi 2 or: bastardisation of the english language
OKAY, So i've been playing Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time, Nintendo have crossed the line with the dialogue of the hammer brothers. I mean really. It's like a retarded 12 year old from 4chan. :aargh: It made me want to cry.
Discuss. Not my crying but the stupid l33t speak that has begun infecting mainstream games. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I actually thought it was funny. By the way, if you even paid attention to what was going on, you would know that they talked this way because they had devices on their heads that essentially made them act like robots. When you free them, they even make a comment along the lines of "who would ever talk like that?"
There's nowhere I can't reach.

Spoiler:
If they started using it all the time then it might become annoying, but I found the context and usage of it to be pretty funny. Edit: F U Kaleb This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Phoenix Wright has it too, for a fat sweaty otaku character. It's pretty hilarious.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Some people are evidently on a quest to rid the world of 1337speak. I say, more power to them, but here it's more making fun of the ridiculous fad than simply using it to be cool.
Come on man, it's a hilarious game. Don't let your silly hatred toward an abominable internet fad ruin the game for you. Sheesh. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Didn't they essentially do the same thing in the first one with Cackletta (or whatever her name was) whose spoke like a poorly translated Japanese game (Zero Wing comes to mind).
FELIPE NO |
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Leet Speak isn't THAT bad... I mean, as everyone else is saying, it's the helmets that made the Hammer Bros. talk like that, but now-a-days, what are you going to give people when they're under robotic mind control? Make them speak French? Hell no, give em' 1337.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
It's more of a parody of it than anything else, and taking Mario & Luigi seriously is a big mistake.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Just to drill the nail in the coffin for the nth time... helmets!
I thought it was pretty clever that Nintendo would acknowledge that. Most people would normally go "What!? l33t sp33k in a game?! That's awesome!" The game doesn't prolong it either. It's not like the Bros. were a main villain group that always talked in a strange manner. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Jokes are obviously serious business...
I found the dialogue hilarious considering it was so out of place, and as has already been said quite a few times here, Nintendo was making fun of it... I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I was speaking idiomatically. |
In other words, chill. It's not like this "trend" is mainstream anyways.
Games like Pocket Kingdom:Own the World also poke fun/reference l337, since it it's part of the gaming culture, whether we like it or not. Heck, there's even a certain character in Phoenix Wright that speaks the lingo. ROFS (rolling on the floor starving) anyone? What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |

saying the words mario and luigi 2 and bastardization in the same sentence is just blasphemy within itself. if you can't see the wit in parodying something like leet speak, well... you need to find your sense of humor again.
because i mean... "Your lives that I spit on are now but a caricature of a cartoon drawn by a kid who is stupid!" and "Princess Peach's sweet voice will soon be the bread that makes the sandwich of Cackletta's desires! And this battle shall be the delicious mustard on that bread! The mustard of your doom!" it gets no better... FELIPE NO |
Is there someplace to get a complete script of all of Fawful's quotes (or of these games?)
They're the funniest RPGs I think I've ever played! What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Fawful is my favorite character from the last couple years I think. He fitted the role of crazy evil subordinate perfectly. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
