Paper Mario = Best game ever. All jokes aside Mario Galaxy isn't my favorite Mario game either. But people seem to treat it as "the best geim evah".
But it's definitely better than the inferior Super Mario Sunshine by several miles. I never cared for the Paper Mario series so I can't say anything about that. I think the few people who hate on Super Mario Galaxy are seriously blinded by nostalgia goggles if they were huge fans of Super Mario 64. Sure, Super Mario 64 revolutionized 3-D platforming gaming and it was great for its time since nobody had ever saw anything like it before, but that doesn't mean it was perfect. There are some elements in Super Mario 64 that hasn't aged well, especially that camera. There were certain levels where that camera would seriously screw you over, and there were a few glitches too where you could possibly go through walls. There's more to it, but other than that I loved Super Mario 64, and to this day it's the only 3-D Mario game where I officially completed it 100% with all 120 stars, including those annoying 100 coin levels.
Back to Super Mario Galaxy, like I said before, it was a huge step forward after Sunshine's disappointment, it brought back a lot of elements that made Super Mario 64 great. The idea of that game was amazing. It introduced Rosalina to the Mario series perfectly, by telling a story about the lumas and how she came in the observatory to watch over the galaxies or something like that. The level designs for Galaxy was one of the best I had ever seen in a Mario game. Whether it was Honeyhive Galaxy, Toy Time Galaxy, Freezeflame Galaxy, Spacejunk Galaxy, etc. Super Mario Galaxy felt like a sooo long timeless game because there were 42 (FORTY-TWO) galaxies in the game! That's mind blowing compared to Super Mario 64's 15 worlds. Bowser's evil plans in this game is also a step up from other Mario series, instead of Bowser just kidnapping the Princess, taking Peach's castle into outer space (btw that cutscene gave me chills), and taking all of the castle's stars away again, Bowser now wants to take full control of the universe too. He mentioned that during the final boss fight. It makes Bowser more intimidating than he did in any Mario game. Last but not least, the amazing soundtrack. Super Mario Galaxy had the best unique soundtrack in a Mario series, the orchestra mixed with classic Mario themes and other new theme music was just flawless. So I'm sorry to be harsh here, but while most Super Mario 64 fans I know loved Galaxy 1 & 2, any Super Mario 64 fan who hates on Galaxy or considers it as their least favorite 3-D Mario game is completely blinded by rose colored glasses. I actually find beating Super Mario Galaxy 100% to be a lot more challenging than beating Super Mario 64 100%, because while each game requires 120 stars, Super Mario 64 only had 15 worlds, and in each of the worlds you knew right away you needed 6 stars and a 7th one for the 100 coins, really simple, although some secret castle stars can be difficult though. Not to mention in Super Mario 64, unless the races against Koopa the Quick or the Penguin counts, there are NO timed levels. In Super Mario Galaxy, there are 42 galaxies and in each of those galaxies you never know what you're going to get. Some comet levels are easy, but some can be difficult especially if you're timed in those God awful purple coin levels. On top of this, to complete Super Mario Galaxy 100% you have to beat the game as Mario AND Luigi, and with Luigi they make those comet levels much more challenging. So I like the balance that Super Mario Galaxy had overall. Same goes for 64 too.
Now anybody can complain about the controls, but in the end. That's gaming. PC gaming with keyboard buttons can be a challenge if you're used to console controllers all the time. Handheld controllers with the D-pad can be challenging if you're used to analog sticks all the time. The N64 controller can be a challenge to use because of the awkwardness of the analog stick being in the middle of controller and unless your thumb is really long you have to hold that controller unevenly/unbalanced. The Wii controller can be a challenge because it's motion controls. Using a Playstation controller can be a challenge if you're not used to the X's and O's buttons on there instead of the A & B buttons on a Nintendo controller. That's just the life of gaming. I've learned to control things differently. Video games have different mechanics and different physics too. That's just life get what I'm saying?

I like all 3D Mario games. Bugs me that Nintendo decided to move away from the 3D Mario games (3D World/Land don't count) due to people (aka filthy casual noobs) apparently finding them "hard" as they would have trouble platforming in 3D space. And because people in japan apparently had 3D motion sickness from the games and would end up getting lost in the levels (still don't know how this could happen in Galaxy). So they made 3D Land/World to appeal to both 3D and 2D fans. My issue with this is that while the games are decent they don't have the same spark/fun that 64-Galaxy 2 had.
As for the controls I feel that they would always bother some. Due to playing so long I don't have issues, but I due remember playing the Gamcube, N64, PS1/Ps2, Wii, Wii U, Xbox etc for the first times. Getting used to the controller placement was always odd for me. But hey it's something you're supposed to master.

Not until age 10+ for something like that. Also I've seen 5-6 year olds travel blocks if they're with an adult. But on their own? Usually around late childhood. Or at least that what is was like for me.
For me it was more like 6+

So, I watched the video earlier and I have to say it was hilarious ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I agree with what the guy was saying, but honestly I think he exaggerated too much. While the 90s itself clearly wasn't a utopia, it wasn't that bad. I mean, every decade no matter what has positives and negatives which makes the world stay in balance for a reason. The 1930s were obviously horrible due the economic Depression, but on the bright side, there were brilliant movies being released at that time.
People near your age have matured over the last few years, so I can easily get over it. Maybe it's just me, but it's seems like the later half of "decade" kids seem to brag the worst about a decade. Like for example, it seems like the 1983-1986 born's are very mature about the 90's, don't brag about it, and they are quick to mention the positive and the negative about the 90's. 1988-1991 born's on the other hand, are immature about the 90's and brag so much about it including coming up with all these crazy memes and spreading all this misinformed information about the 90's that wasn't true, including lumping the early 2000's with the 90's as well. I feel the same way about our 2000's kids, it turns out that the 1998-2000 born's are going to be immature about reminiscing the decade while the 1993-1995 born's are going to stay mature about it.
You wanna know why? It's not just that they matured over time, but also that the older members were actually adolescents during the decade itself while the younger ones were children which makes the former understand that not everything was awesome and they aren't as nostalgia-blinded as the latter are.
I was kidding. Actually, I agree with quite a bit of what that guy said (except about The Mask, that movie kicked ass 8)). The "'90s elitist" types are extremely annoying, and I myself have been speaking out against them since the late '00s.
Now that we're almost ten years removed from the early stages of '90s nostalgia, I wonder if "'00s elitists" will start becoming a thing soon? :o
I think it will. I mean, we already had the 80s and 90s elitists, so it wouldn't be surprising if the 00s ones emerge soon. In fact, we had already encountered one on here sometime ago and we haven't seen him since and so far, there are some of them on YouTube (that's how all of us mostly find them by going on that site).
I don't consider people born in 1994-1999 to be 90s kids, they're 00s kids. :P
I often see people born in the mid 90s like to brag about how they're 90s kids, and how those born in the late 90s aren't, and I'm like "NO! Neither of you are!" ;D
No one born from 1993 onward is a 90s kid. 1992 is a hybrid. If a majority of your core childhood took place in the 2000s then you're a 00s kid. And I still don't get what there is to brag about in terms of being a 90s kid.
Honestly, most people are actually both, and I really think it's better to split childhood into halves considering that both stages are different and that each section has 4/5 years minimum.
1994 babies were only in elementary school during the 1999-00 school year as Kindergartners, which wasn't really a full year in the 90s. So, they were mostly early 2000s kids by that point.
Uhuhuhuhuhuhuh, not if they went to elementary integrated with a preschool. Some schools have PS-5th.
Well, I'd say if you were born in '94, a good portion of your childhood did take place in the '90s. They are somewhat late '90s kids, but mainly early '00s and mid '00s kids.
Agreed! If you look at childhood in halves, then their early portion took place during the 90s.
Yay I'm a 90s kid! :D
If they have older siblings that help refresh their memory, the balance could easily tip the other way. My brother remembers 98/99 almost as well as I do (although honestly I consider 1999 to be an early 2000s year anyway).
Yeah! Me too! ;) :D ;D
And/or other older relatives especially if they are in your age range.
Actually, if you were born in the 90s, that's still not enough to make you a 90s kid. Your a Late 90s kid, semi. Not the full gene that seen the peak of Power Rangers for example. You have to be 8 or 7 by 93 to be a 90s kid. The same goes for 80s and so forth. This is some real stuff I realized. I was born in 90 of September and I appreciate that it gave me the privilege with being really a Late 90s/Early 2000s kid, my two in general favorite eras.
I go by when your old enough to understand what's around you. While I remember a few glimpses of 94-96, I had no idea of the majority. I really became aware of things by 97.
Well kids can understand their environment at an earlier age especially if it's local or non-political. I'm sure there were many young kids who recall the countdown to Y2K, the 2003 Blackout, the NFL superbowls, the MLB world series, etc.
You might not have been aware of your surroundings until you were 7, but that doesn't mean it was the same for others.
Y2K era kids
Late 90s/early 2000s kids.
Basically prime Y2K era kids.
Pretty much this considering that the 1991-95 group had a chunk of their childhood taking place in this era.

That means those who say they despise the 00s are actually in the minority. I agree what you mean though. Yeah, most us here were children during at some point in the 90s, but in reality, we were pretty much doing things that were kid-related such as PR, Pokemon, Furbies, etc. and the 00s was when the bulk of this generation had more freedom of doing everything you mentioned. Heck, even 90s folks (when we were adolescents back then) even enjoyed the decade considering that some of us were in secondary school, had thoughts about dating, hanging with friends generally, do crazy things, etc.
I'll take being 8 over being a young adult in 2016.
I have a feeling that you genuinely miss the 00s in general despite the terrible things that happened. I don't blame you for that. If you want to know, the majority of this cohort is definitely going to be nostalgic for the 00s within the next few years especially since the decade is already pushing 20! :o
But yeah, the atmosphere of the 2010s is truly disturbing because of the events that have occurred in the last few years.

Well the 90s memorial/nostalgia wave is nothing more than a fad. Fads/Trends do overstay their welcome, but they eventually fade away as people do get bored of them.
That's because some are blinded by thinking it was a utopia thanks to the arrogant "90s kids" (although it wasn't ;D).
It's funny how all the issues with the 90s kid fad seem to be centered back to the arrogant 90s kids. I swear they ruined everything. 1990s wasn't a utopia as any decade with a crazy high crime rate scares the heck outta me, but it I didn't end up disliking the decade until the arrogant 90s kids came around and made themselves and everyone else look bad. 1990s isn't an awful time (only awful time I can think of is the 1930s-1940s due to WW2, Cold War, Great Depression, Holocaust etc although I still love those 2 decades) as it did have some good stuff.

Slap on a colourful floral tee, red salmon shorts, neon blue vans, and blast some Cheap Thrills. I give summer of 2016 10/10 tbh.

Eh. I could've liked being a young adult in the 2000s. Although, I kinda like being a teen in this decade, since I don't have to go through a lot of modern kiddy stuff. For the fact that most cartoons nowadays are pandering towards cartoon obsessed adults (no offense really) is kinda sad, since it would lead to kids watching their reviews, which has inappropriate language in them.

I don't think kids read reviews about their cartoons online. I tease my little sister about My Little Pony being a show for grown men and not for little girls, but she just ignores me. ;D

There are some kids who are actually interested into watching video reviews of their cartoons. It's a rather big community on YouTube. Although, I think most of them have heard about bronies, and other cartoon fanatics that are a bit cringy to see.

Hahahaha, My Little Pony IS and has ALWAYS been for little girls. She's in the main target audience for it. It's just that major brony trend that started right when the show began which caused an internet fandom of ponies everywhere and it's been annoying as hell the last several years. My Little Pony has been an ongoing franchise since the 80's (a lot of people forget this, Friendship Is Magic is a reboot), and even before this decade began I always viewed ponies as something for girls, just like Barbie, Bratz, Strawberry Shortcake or American Girl.

I really agree with this. I may be a former brony (and somehow watched one of the G3 specials as a kid), but I'm not sure how could any boy be that interested into My Little Pony? I only cared about it because it looked cute to me, but then I found out about the internet fanbase. I just wish I forgot about my brony life, since it's really embarrassing to talk about with people who don't seem to like kiddy cartoons. Although, I'm not a big fan over modern children's cartoons.

Yeah, but the Internet tends to dislike bronies. If I was still a brony to this day, I would've been stereotyped with jacking off to the characters, since they tend to think that most bronies sexualize them. Also, I don't want to be labeled as a cringe type of guy, and have most of my stuff being on cringe compilations on YouTube.

It's funny how all the issues with the 90s kid fad seem to be centered back to the arrogant 90s kids. I swear they ruined everything. 1990s wasn't a utopia as any decade with a crazy high crime rate scares the heck outta me, but it I didn't end up disliking the decade until the arrogant 90s kids came around and made themselves and everyone else look bad. 1990s isn't an awful time (only awful time I can think of is the 1930s-1940s due to WW2, Cold War, Great Depression, Holocaust etc although I still love those 2 decades) as it did have some good stuff.
Oh yeah, they did! Thanks to them, 90s nostalgia is not only embarrassing because of the assumptions, but now people truly want it to end so badly especially since it began too early! Had the movement started a few years ago, it would have definitely been much better and more realistic than what we're seeing right now. Oh, and as for the high crime rates, that decade is when it actually began declining and it's been that way ever since. In addition, the reasons there was such a thing is not just the causes I mentioned in another thread, but also that there was lots of property crime which occurred the most in those days and much of it still happens today since phones, MP3s and other devices are mainly stolen in a variety of ways.

That doesn't mean guys shouldn't watch it. By that, Hot-Wheels, for example was always somethings for guys and not girls. See what I mean? I think it's better for both sexes to have to have the other gender toys, so that not only will it make them more comfortable, but it will also develop certain skills they will need in the future.
I'm not sure if you noticed, but since girls have always played with dolls and took care of them, they gained skills to take care of kids very well when they have one which is why the majority are babysitters, nannies, etc.

It would be a joke as well. Can't believe it's been about 10 years since 90s nostalgia has been around, and that's when 1997-1999 wasn't even a decade old yet. I could be contradicting myself, since I do tend to be nostalgic over 2007-2009. However, I don't get that nostalgic over them (okay, maybe except for 2007).

But My Little Pony hasn't really targeted towards boys ever since the franchise was around in the 80s. Sure, there's G4 MLP, but most of the fans (or bronies in this case) are grown adult men. I don't even think a lot of little boys like it that much.

Yeah, I know. The reason 90s nostalgia began early is because the 1990-94 era seemed to have gotten lumped in with the late 80s (1985-89) due to both periods having some similarities.
I meant in general. If there's nothing wrong with girls playing with Hot-Wheels, then there shouldn't be any thing wrong with guys playing with Barbies.

Well, as somebody who likes Hello Kitty (and other characters made by Sanrio), I could agree with this. But whenever I see Hello Kitty, it's usually a little girl who admires her. I never really saw a boy at any age like Hello Kitty, aside from myself. Even after 9 years since I got into Hello Kitty, I barely see any boys like it. In fact, I only see one other guy from Twitter who genuinely likes the franchise.

Same here, from 2002-2004 the only reason I watched some of those cheesy/crappy Barbie movies is because my sister was hooked into those. As a kid I actually didn't mind some scenes that were hilarious, but watching a Barbie movie is not the same as being into the toys. Barbie toys looked boring to me as a young kid, if anything it was a turnoff. I was hooked into Hot Wheels because I liked the idea of different type of colorful cars and models, and the Planet Hot Wheels website was amazing because you got to create custom tracks and race against people around the world, and buy new/custom car parts too. The Hot Wheels Highway 35/World Race video game was a huge part of my childhood as well. I was hooked into anything hot wheels throughout the first half of the 2000's. As an adult, I guess the same argument can be used how automotive/mechanics is a lot more interesting than babysitting.

To be fair, Hot Wheels evolved in a great way throughout its time. Barbies have just been the same way since its debut in 1959, despite a few changes to the dolls. I may not be interested towards automobiles, but you could pretty much do a lot of things with automobiles/vehicles in your imagination. Barbies are just dolls that just have the same girly fantasies over and over again. I know that may be harsh, but it's not like it would keep you occupied for a long time.

Hot Wheels sound so Early 2000s. Haha I remember seeing boxed packs that would let you see the cars lined up through the plastic in stores that looked juicy along with trains I was more into from 96. The Hot Wheel cars I don't remember buying had a addiction that would sneak up on you. It just hit me hard! I remember bringing literally one to school in 2001 at the time I mysteriously departed from the fad. I recall bringing it with me every day as if it was my personally friend I used to constantly roll on the desk in class and one of my temporary friends commenting on it. Hot Wheels was actually a thing in my neighbor back then. I was just mostly absent. 2004 was basically the last year Hot Wheels were relevant.

90s kid means "sad nostalgic man-child" when it comes to the elitist ones. I'm a 1990s kid as I was born in 1990, but people said I was a 2000s kid despite being 10 by the time the decade started and 19 when it ended. 90s kid is nothing more than some dumb label. Whether or not I consider myself a 90s kid or not won't change my experienced childhood in any possible.
I'm just happy the 90s kid disaster has died down since about 2014 onward. It's one of the only things I really didn't like about the early 2010s when it came to internet culture.

However, when I commented a whole bunch of people started attacking me and saying "You're not a 90s kid...you're a f*cking 00s kid", "You were only a baby pooping in your diaper in the 90s...you idiot". I felt really bad and I was confused...it's been a long journey since then.
Well, the dumba**es who said "You were only a baby pooping in your diaper in the 90s" have forgotten they too were doing the same thing in the same era. I would have just retaliated and told them they DON'T represent 90s kids at all.
90s kid means "sad nostalgic man-child" when it comes to the elitist ones. I'm a 1990s kid as I was born in 1990, but people said I was a 2000s kid despite being 10 by the time the decade started and 19 when it ended. A 90s kid is nothing more than some dumb label. Whether or not I consider myself a 90s kid or not won't change my experienced childhood in any possible.
I'm just happy the 90s kid disaster has died down since about 2014 onward. It's one of the only things I really didn't like about the early 2010s when it came to internet culture.
Well they're stupid for saying that. You're definitely a 90s kid whether they realize that or not. The 90s kid elitists got on my nerves during those years because they would constantly attack other decades and be projecting the 90s as a utopia.
I remember getting into arguments with some of them around that time, and they were completely arrogant and ignorant for as bunch of reasons. I'm actually glad that has been over for some time despite that I have occasionally come across those topics. They practically ruined the 90s nostalgia to the point where even genuine 90s kids don't want to partake in it anymore.

Yeah, they ruined 90s nostalgia for me. I think the 1990s is cool, but I didn't hold it as high as the elitists did. I didn't see it as a amazing utopian time period, but just a time period where despite its flaws was generally good when it came to kid culture (was only 9-10 when it ended so I can only relate to early and core kid culture).
Funny that we've both had problematic arguements. For me as a 1990 born I was mainly getting annoyed by the elitist 1980s born. For you I'm sure there were people my age who were getting on your nerves. Heck I've seen 1992 born acting like elitists. It's like who ever is within the exclusive "cool 90s kid" club seems to start acting like a**hats. All people want to do is just have a good time talking about 1990s pop culture, but they had to ruin it by talking down/insulting people for trivial reasons. How I see it is if you've experienced 1990s culture in any way then I have no issue talking with you about it. Doesn't matter on age. You're from 1993, correct? I'm sure you have a quite a few late 1990s memories from your childhood when you were 3-6 in 1996-1999? And even in the early 2000s there were leftovers that were still around. But don't tell the elitists that!
As long as you can recall 1990s stuff that's good enough for me. Don't care on your age. I mean is it a crime if I talk about 1980s stuff? I remember seeing people say that you should not be allowed to enjoys things that is before your time. This is dumb as if everyone thought like this then history literally wouldn't exist. I can't like 1920s Jazz or look at far off outer space planets because they've exist long before I was born?

Well the 90s were great, not just for kid culture, but also films, music (especially the variety), games etc. It can't get any better than that. OTT, I still agree that there were flaws in that era that the elitists refuse to believe.
Yeah, I have plenty of memories from the late 90s that I think about from time to time ranging from video games, movies, TV shows, music etc. and I agree in the early 2000s, there were some leftovers that kids enjoyed.
Oh definitely. Over the years I have been online, I have seen folks my age range talking down on others who weren't 90s kids telling their childhood was terrible, and that it will never be great as the "almighty 90s kid!". It just goes to show to not only stupid they are, but even ignorant because the "90s kids" club is NOT exclusive, and it basically doesn't exist at all.

The 90s elitists who WERE 90s kids were the worst. They're the ones who'd brainwash the mid-late 90s born into calling themselves 90s kids in the first place. Before the 90s nostalgia even happened a lot of mid-late 90s born didn't even care about a "90s kid" label.

No, it was actual 90s kids who were overhyping the '90s that made many mid-late '90s borns like myself want to identify as a '90s kid.
The reason is that we're born in the '90s and we watched a lot of the shows and did a lot of the things that were shown in the memes...so we thought that it made us '90s kids as well (especially when they claimed things from 2000-2006).

I've seen claims like that in a lot of youtube videos, articles, forums etc. First off iPads didn't take off into popualrity until 2010 onward. In fact the very first Ipad is from 2010 meaning it was around for ANY point in the 2000s. So a 2000s kid wouldn't have them. You could bring up the iphone which was in 2007, but they weren't as popular as they are now in 2017 (literally 10 years later). In the 2000s it still wasn't too common to even find kids with phones or kids who spent a lot of time on phones.

To elitist 90s kids the 90s era is HUGE for some reason. I see things from 1980s and 2000s being lumped into the 90s kid lists. This ended up confusing people. Also 90s kids don't take into account for things that existed even past the 1990s and into the 2000s yet would claim that 2000s kids won't know about . When I see things like Pokemon or Ed Ed n Eddy on a "only 90s kids will know" list I cringe. It's funny as they make this double standard. You see they'll include 80s cartoons like Ducktales or Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers as 90s cartoons since they aired in the 1990s. However Ducktales ran into the 1990s as Reruns on the Disney Afternoon and Chip n Dale aired in 1989, but ended in the early 1990s.
Now I know you can base it on which decade a show aired longest, but 90s kids only do this with 80s cartoons. When it comes to 90s cartoons that aired in 1998/1999 and had a majority of their run in the 2000s or had a reruns that aired often in the 2000s they still just count them as "only 90s kid shows" and they don't count for 2000s kids. Meaning 90s kids can take claim to Ducktales of Chip n Dale, but 00s kids can't take claim to Pokemon or Ed Edd n Eddy for some reason despite them being in the same case.
Idiots I tell ya. If my younger brother remembers watching a 90s show air on TV I'm not going to argue with him as I've been with him throughout his childhood and can confirm that he used to love watching the shows. But to elitist 90s kids this just makes him a "fake 90s kid".

"I can get 1982-1985 being early 90s kids, but that's it. And that's just early"
Sorry Loony but gotta correct you. 82 and 83 babies are barely 90s kids. 84 and 85 babies(my cohort) are primarily 90s kids, not just the early 90s, Mid to late 80s babies are true 90s kids, early 80s babies not so much especially those born in 80 and 81. Some people like to use 85 as a cut off year, like there's this line between 85ers and 86ers when people born in these years have alot in common in kid culture we all grew up in. 84 to 88/89 borns have more in common then early 80s borns.
85 is not an early 80s year its a mid 80s year and if people are gonna break decades into two halves(which not correct to begin with) then 85 would be a late 80s year. First five years 80 to 84(early), the last five years 85 to 89(late). This goes for all decades.

Guys, I've had early '80s borns tell me that I'm not a '90s kid. There was an argument about this a long time ago where a guy said that anybody born after 1985 was an '00s kid.
