The White Mushroom House; A discussion of a Mario cyoa

Author's perogative.

Since Fire Emblem is the only thing I know we all share some interest in (besides Mario, hopefully...), I'll be using those classes as reference to ability, if that's okay.

Big Bruiser Donkey Kong! What isn't there to love about this guy? Of course, his weapon type would be his raw power, but capable of using a banana shaped handaxe when placed at long range. Of course, DK doesn't have all that much trouble closing gaps anyway; he's fairly quick for his size. His main drawbacks, however, are all magic based. He is incapable of using any magic effectively, and has particularly low magic resistance.

That's all I got. He should definitely incorporate music into his skills somehow, but I think it best to leave that part to the master of the story...

I hope that makes at least a bit of sense, and is usable to some degree.

So in honor of our of pseudo dragon who may or not be joining sometime soon.

Its a time for a pseudo poll.

So no one wants Mario in a harem. Yet that doesn't mean we still can't have a harem plumber.

Is there anyone who would want Luigi in a harem?

Same choices as the Mario poll.

King thinks he strangled me just to see X disappears.

Ha king you got my clone the real one is long gone.

So do you want a Luigi harem or not?

Ok just wondering we don't have to do one.

Also as a friendly reminder anyone is free to suggest characters in the cyoa you would like to have as dither recruits or secret recruits. Some like goombella or bow will be include right away b/c they actually happened in a Mario game as actual PC. Yet if you say want Ike or something that might be meet with some resistance that's when I will use the it has to be seconded.

The only restrictions I have is that it has to be a character from the Mario universe or Fire Emblem univer. So no Sonic, Kirby, or any other Nintendo character will be included or anyone not associated from FE.

Also as a side note I have two characters from other cyoas on this board see in here but who they are and what role they play remains a mystery. (I got permission from the original arthors that it was okay. Because I didn't want to steal or use someone else's idea w/o there consent first)

Whatever the voters want?

The only thing is weapon type, magic (if applicable), if you want a little description. The only rule is that it has to be someone from the Mario universe (try to keep close it close to the RPG's and platformers). The other one is while its ok to have Fire Emblem characters just keep it to only well known or main characters. Also know I only played the FE that were released in the states so I am not as familiar with ones that were never translated or released only in Japan.

But if anyone has an idea bring it up and we will see what happens from there.

KO and Game Over

The cyoa has elements of Fire Emblem involved. Yet permentally losing characters isn't one of them. Before you think it gives you wa green light to throw strategy out the window there is a price to pay for a character fainting. I will list the consequences below for a fainted character.

1.) Do not receive exp while fainted
2.) Can not participate in battle til revived
3.) Can not give or receive support bonuses til revived.

Here are the only ways to revive fainted characters:

1.) Use a 1 up or Moon item to revive them.
2.) Visit a wizard hut to have Merlin and family to revive the fainted party member.
3.) Use life or max life on fainted member.
4.) Have auto life (stays effective for one turn) status buff with character.

So if all characters faint or get turned to stone then its not a Game Over per say. You end up at the last wizard hut you visited. You do lose half of your coins upon revival and Mario is the only one you have completely restored. Yet because I am not a cruel author after your party is revived Merlin and family can use there magic to send you back to the last place you were before all your characters fainted.

You may think that losing half your coins is a steep price but there is one solution well other than don't let everyone faint. I will hge introducing a bank system soon (think of the banks from dragon quest). Instead of only dealing with units of thousands or higher the toad teller deals with units from 100 or more.

This way I can use fainting as a deterrent and not have to have permadeath.
