Guess Who!

by Andymii (talk)

This is probably what Paper Mario would look like playing Guess Who! himself. Notice his apparent lack of legs.

Welcome again to 'Guess Who!' with your host, Andymii (formerly Andyni)! Here, we challenge your knowledge of Mario characters by giving clues and hints and then asking you what the character is. There are three levels; can you solve them all?

Unlike the last issue, this issue does not have a specific theme. Any character can be possibility, as long as it is part of the Mario series. (Super Smash Bros. will not count as part of the Mario series here.)

Anyway, simply pick a level, and let's get started!


Level 1: Easy

  1. It walks off cliffs, but is not a mushroom.
  2. When jumped on, it becomes a weapon that can be used against other enemies, though if not careful can sometimes backfire and hurt the player.
  3. It is a Mario staple.

Level 2: Normal

  1. This character has exactly one line of text in Mario Kart: Double Dash!
  2. This character does not live in the Mushroom Kingdom and was kidnapped once.
  3. This character owns a cruise ship.

Level 3: Hard

  1. This character made a cameo as an Easter egg in Lego City Undercover, where it functions like how it does in Super Mario Galaxy.
  2. Its first game was on the Nintendo Entertainment System.
  3. It is thousands of times slower than its real-life counterpart.

Answers:

Easy

Green Koopa Troopa! (The "green" part is very important, for only green ones walk off cliffs.)
A Green Koopa Troopa

Medium

Princess Daisy!
