We'll see the virtues of tackling children on a nice walk because you're the hero, and how you might think dating is difficult, but you probably haven't had to engineer an 18-month siege to do so.
Jason WeiserHOST
0:26
The creature this time is not Bowser, but is the most Bowser-like monster I've ever talked about on this podcast.
Jason WeiserHOST
0:39
This is Myths and Legends, episode 444, Ortnit Witt.
Jason WeiserHOST

[gentle music] The creature this time is the Tarasque from France.
Jason WeiserHOST
60:08
When you look at the Tarasque, six feet tall with its spiky turtle shell, snarling face, lion mane-like hair, and bear claws, but reptilian bear claws.
Jason WeiserHOST
60:19
Look, I'm not saying that that is basically Bowser from Mario, but that's Bowser from Mario.
Jason WeiserHOST
60:25
The only difference is that this one doesn't breathe fire.
Alex AzorHOST
51:59
Yeah.
Andrew ParkerHOST
51:59
Bowser, Super Ma- Mario.
Alex AzorHOST
52:01
Yeah.
Andrew ParkerHOST
52:01
Rumpelstiltskin, Shrek 4.
Andrew ParkerHOST
52:05
I'm going Bowser.
Alex AzorHOST
52:06
Sure.
Andrew ParkerHOST
52:07
[laughs]

12 MINS LATER

Alex AzorHOST
63:57
Ken is barely a villain.
Kyle KrauseHOST
47:10
Somehow.
Kyle KrauseHOST
47:15
And Katara station asks the Mario movie from 2023, but now it's rock who's sent to Bowser's kingdom and roll is sent to the mushroom kingdom.
Kyle KrauseHOST
47:25
How does it go?
Ian FlynnHOST
47:28
Okay.
Kyle KrauseHOST
47:34
Yeah.
Ian FlynnHOST
47:34
Yeah.
Kyle KrauseHOST
47:36
Rock is sent to the Bowser's gate.
Kyle KrauseHOST
47:37
Rock is sent to Bowser's kingdom and roll is sent to the mushroom kingdom.
JayHOST
34:06
I still have the Jedi costume.
JayHOST
34:08
And I got that Bowser costume.
JayHOST
34:10
Bowser.
JayHOST
34:11
Do you dress
BayHOST
34:12
up for Halloween?
Vicki FisherHOST
21:11
But there's a car very similar to that one that is out at High Plains.
Vicki FisherHOST
21:17
And they dressed it up as Bowser.
Vicki FisherHOST
21:19
It's the exact same car with the exact same coloring.
Vicki FisherHOST
21:22
except it was Bowser, and they were dressed as Mario and Luigi, and they had these little fireball whiskeys, and they just kept jumping up going, woohoo, and they would throw the fireballs at everybody.
Vicki FisherHOST
21:36
But I was like, the Bowser car is here, and I was going to go up and talk to them and realize that was a Kellogg's car.
Vicki FisherHOST
21:41
Did they change it? That's
JaniceGUEST
21:42
really far for them to drive.
Vince AverillHOST
6:10
This guy is, like, waiting to beat up some socas in the fucking park.
Matt McCarthyHOST
6:14
Bowser never had abs like that.
Vince AverillHOST
6:16
Well, and now his brother-
Matt McCarthyHOST
6:17
Melzer has better abs than Bowser.
Vince AverillHOST
6:19
Well, of course.
Vince AverillHOST
6:20
But, uh, now his brother's had his first match.
ArielPANELIST
11:39
You need to at least be able to capture the essence of what made that game great.
ArielPANELIST
11:43
Because Mario is basically a guy jumping across the Mushroom Kingdom, hitting bricks, fighting Bowser and saving the princess.
ArielPANELIST
11:51
And if you adapt that to a movie, that's kind of boring.
ArielPANELIST
11:54
You don't want to watch two hours of a guy punching bricks.
Adam ElenbaasHOST
38:33
But the obstacle becomes the teacher because how we face the obstacle and move around it is like, it's like an end level boss in Mario Brothers.
Adam ElenbaasHOST
38:42
You know, what's that dragon? King Koopa, is that his name? Spitting fire at you.
Adam ElenbaasHOST
38:48
So, the obstruction may be very, very meaningful.
Adam ElenbaasHOST
38:58
It's the fear beneath this romantic choice.
ChrisHOST
100:26
Yeah, it's cool.
ChrisHOST
100:27
For natural disasters, one of the things is Bowser attacks.
ChrisHOST
100:30
Oh.
ChrisHOST
100:31
I have that later in
JoshuaHOST
100:32
here.
JoshuaHOST
100:34
So let me finish my little set dressing here and we'll get to some, there's a lot, I got a lot to say about this game.
JoshuaHOST
100:39
So during the development even, Miyamoto actually worked directly alongside Will Wright, the designer of the original game, to make the port the best that it could be, even though it's not just a straight port because the SNES version does add things like new building types that weren't present in the original game and certain events that they gave a little Nintendo twist to, like Chris mentioning that the monster attack from the original game, which was a Godzilla-like creature, is Bowser in the Super Nintendo version.
ChrisHOST
101:03
Also, if
JacobPANELIST
9:09
Vertical.
JacobPANELIST
9:09
So long game Bowser.
GraceHOST
9:12
Uh, yeah, this is so fun that I absolutely, I want this to happen.
GraceHOST
9:15
I feel like this is like a coordinated athletics.
