A special note on Mario.
Because I have spent too much time watching Paper Mario walkthroughs, and because I have decided (and seen) that this will open Mario up to a wider variety of interactions, I am incorporating elements of the Paper Mario series into this character. This means he won't die as easily, nor will he be as much as a homicidal maniac -- though I do of course reserve the right to bring in homicidal maniac!8-bit Mario when the mood hits me (hey, he turns into 8-bit!Mario in Paper Mario, it's totally canon!!111).
Also this means Mario can hold a conversation with you!
...kind of.
...erm.
Actually it means that if you talk to Mario, the following things will happen: he will nod, or shake his head, or sometimes a cartoon text balloon will appear over his head with a red question mark or exclamation point in it, or sometimes he will say short phrases like "no-no" and "uh-huh" and "wa-hoo!" and "me?" and "WOAHWOAHWOAH!!" (this is accompanied by flailing), but if he is, say, trying to have a philosophical conversation with you, and begins to share his feelings on suffering in relation to art, he will open his mouth, raise his hand -- and nothing will come out.
As stated before, I may sometimes switch back to "jump on first ask questions later" Mario, or a different Mario from another game, but I will try to be more informative about these changes in the future.
