Mario Kart 64 would absolutely never beat Smash 64 1 on 1. You're so bad at this. I mean I knew this tenfold already, but you always pop up during contest season to remind everyone further. It's true entertainment.

Mario Kart 64 losing to SSB is a GameFAQs thing so you can't really pound into him.

By the way, SHINE's topic got me thinking. Is Mother 3 even eligible for this contest?

I mean, it doesn't matter since it would suck horribly anyway, but still...

What worries me is casual Nintendo fans always overly support something that doesn't deserve it if the big guns are out. Remember Mario in 2005? (Or was it 2006)


Yeah, because Mario hasn't maintained that strength or anything!

this contest kind of sucks as very few of my favourite games got released in this decade, so i'll probably just use my nominations on angry birds and peggle

It probably is, but it was never localized and almost all the Americans who played it likely did so illegally. Doubtful that Bacon lets it in.

I still appreciate the irony of their attempts to get English Mother 3 leading them to the one action that would guarantee it never be released legitimately overseas.

Your nominated games must have been first released in North America between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2009. Games not released in North America but first released during the same period are also eligible.


It would do really badly, but there's no reason Mother 3 would be disallowed.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to nominate a game that never even made it to America, unless you're purposefully trying to guarantee it ranks 128th in the x-stats.

MK64 was the multiplayer game for the N64 right next to Goldeneye. You're completely blinded by your Smash Brothers fanboyism if you say otherwise. SSBM was the time when SSB actually became one of Nintendo's top franchises.

Has he even been in a reliable 1 on 1 match since 2005 to test this? This past winter was all SFF and a "wtf" against Charizard. For all we know he went back to pre-2005 levels but 4ways and his big SFF path hid this. And even if you want to use 4ways, I could have sworn he had the same problem with Nintendo SFF in all his matches in 2008 or something. I don't feel like looking it up, but wasn't that the year MMX and Zack almost beat him?

Blame Bacon for that!

But there's this: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3802

And Mario could've potentially pushed for 65% in a full 24 hour match or a day match.

And even if you want to use 4ways, I could have sworn he had the same problem with Nintendo SFF in all his matches in 2008 or something. I don't feel like looking it up, but wasn't that the year MMX and Zack almost beat him?


Yeah, when Mario had to share polls with Zelda, Luigi, Link, and Samus!

So like I said, it's only getting by on franchise votes. Based on normal popularity (as in if this contest happened before the Gamecube was announced), MK64 would kill it. SSB was popular, but it's not up to MK64's popularity on the N64.

I would take Mario Kart 64 over SSB 64. Not that I have doubts about SSB, but MK64 looked damn good in the first round *while* being leeched. It only looked disappointing in R2 due to Fourth Place Factor. I would take it to be around 45% or better on Goldeneye indirectly. Not sure that I could say the same about SSB.

Again on any normal site you'd likely be right, but even with a reduced popularity compare to Melee and Brawl both SSBM/SSBB are the favourites at being the 3rd most favoured game on this site. Go to any other site and those games are probably lucky if they're pushing the top 25.

I think MK64 vs. SSB is a very debatable match, and cocksure statements in either direction are baseless. MK64 got 62% on Star Fox 64, which I thought was a really good performance, but then it turned around and got nearly doubled by Goldeneye. The jury's still out.
