Good afternoon and good tidings, one and all!

As I was bathing last night, I was suddenly hit by a brilliant idea. What if we created a massive Mario world for "Crusader Kings II"?

Just think about it. The Mario world is huge, and we can use locations from every game for counties, duchies, and the like! After all, most governments in the Mushroom World are kingdoms already. (-and there are oppurtunities for Republics, like Rogueport and Twilight Town.)

• Here are just some of the maps used by Mario over the decades.

Of course, there will be many different species and many different "Cultures", as well as religions and the like. For ease of use, characters of different species can marry together and be "delivered" a child by a stork (like in "Yoshi's Island") that will be one of the "parents'" species, and, hopefully, will combine the traits.




Like in the game, different Culture groups have different crowns, and they yield different names depending on status. (For example, the 1985 AD manual for "Super Mario Brothers" says that Goombas were members of "tribes that defected to Bowser". Gooma cultured characters, therefore, would be "Chief-King" or "Chief", etc. Twilight Town and Rogueport characters, being republican in nature, would follow the "mayoral" idea.

Temples would be replaced with altars and shrines to the Star Spirits, and so on.


We could cover the Mushroom Kingdom and all of its surrounding areas from all of the games over the years. We could do the eight ducal-level (petty) kingdoms of the Mushroom World, and cover Dark Land (Bowser's traditional home) as an Empire-level state. The worlds are huge and the possibilities are endless.


WE CAN EVEN HAVE A SHROOB INVASION.

Join me in glorious Mario comradaire, my friend!

Only a word give us the f*cking download link already

Mario and Crusader Kings 2 togheter? Goodbye real world

 

[TheTeaMustFlow]

This is one of the craziest, most ridiculous ideas I have ever heard.

And it would be awesome.

 

[frankatank109]

This sounds amazing, but I have a question, how will Mario himself be represented?

 

[Fredmonroe]

To the Most Vile and Despicable 'king' Mario,

Tales of your misdeeds are told from 1-1 to 8-10. This is a declaration of WAR. Our armies shall meet on the field of battle!

Signed,
Luigi

 

[n00bypl4y3r]

Wow, I just had this idea a couple hours ago.
Great minds think alike then, I guess

 

[fanoI]

This sounds amazing, but I have a question, how will Mario himself be represented?

Mario should be a Mercenary so a landless Duchy of "Superlandia" should do... the title? "Super" obviously so he get "Super Mario"
Luigi should be one of his vassals (maybe with a titular county title?), I don't know if there are possibilities to have other courtiers (parts of the Mercenary Company that is) that is guys of his same level the Princess cannot be his vassal as, well, she is of bigger rank... maybe that little mushroom? Maybe Donkey Kong?.
Mario should have dynasty "Mario" (yes it is really its surname, indeed the complete name of Luigi... is "Luigi Mario" :blink and be of Italian or Italo - American culture.

But I'm really talking of this ?

[NinjaCow64]

This is so ridiculous it must happen!

I think the idea for the Mario Bros being Mercs is a very good idea. And I think that the Goombas do have a King who is a Vassal under Bowser in the first Paper Mario, they call him "King Goomba" or "Goomboss".

 

[Cuthuthulu]

"Luigi cut the throat of one of my servants when the clumsy man spilled wine all over his hat!"

 

[Arcvalons]

Have you watched Dorkly's "Mushroom King" ? You should!

 

[keytium]

Oh my goodness imagine playing King boo. You have haunted mansions on every continent in the world. Vassal management would be a nightmare. Glorious.

 

[Summercat]

Please stick in SMRPG stuff!

 

[fanoI]

There is a Oscar for CK2 mods? It should IMHO

By the way the Nintendoverse has an infinity of characters for example if you do a game with Mario you should represent his nemesis Wario in some way (he should be "the King of Robbers" probably), Waluigi is long forgotten... ah another Mario courtier his best friend and his horse Yoshi (probably his father / mother at least in one of the Nintendo games was show so), probably he should be his Marshall with a special trait "Giant tongue that eat everything!" +100 martial hmy:

Kirbi himself should be the real final boss he transform you in candies (or it was Majin Bu?) how he could lost? Gengis Khan? Who he is? Kirbi and his pink horde will be your worst enemy!

 

[TurtleShroom]

DUDE, YES!

I am humbled that you are so delighted by this concept.

OF COURSE I SHOULD PUT IN SM-RPG. Smithy could be an INVADING HOARD that is AI-compelled to take over to Dark Land. Twilight Town (PM2) can be a Republic.

Even more fun would be the various species. Like I said, we can use "Yoshi's Island" storks for infants to explain royal marriages between species.

The religion would obviously be "Astrotheology", the Star Spirits. Heresies would exist, such as Bowser revering himself (though that could be their own religion), while Smithy would have his own, like the Aztecs did. Yoshis would have "Happiness" as the religion, based on "Yoshi's Island" and "Yoshi's Story". Shy Guys come from "Super Mario II", in a land called "Subcon".

------------

We should start listing cultures, by group...

I'll start.


Toadstool (Mushroom Kingdom proper)

Dryite (Dry Dry Desert, Tutankhoopa)

Crystal (Arctic zones, Crystal Palace, PM1, Star Kids)

Penguin ("Super Mario LXIV", Shiver City, arctic zones etc.)

Delfinite (Isle Delfino), with Delfinite-Pianta and Delfinite-Noki, depending on who you play and who you conquer, similar to Finnish/Norwegian/Swedish in Vanilla

Astrotheologic (Star Spirits, Star Haven, Star Rod), mixes with Crystal because of Starlet Town as the basis for Star Kids

Goomba (Goomba tribes and such)

Dreamy (Pillow Island, Super Luigi's Dream Team)

Beanish (Bean Bean Island)

Toady (BECAUSE FAWFUL-SPECIES REPUBLIC THAT'S WHY)

Twilighter (Twilight Town)

Koopa (Bowser, Dark Land, Koopa Troop, Koopa states)

Glitz (Glitz Pit islands because it's best level)

Boolian (Boos and ghosts), Super Mario Galaxy uses this demonym and its language, Boolish

Blubba (Clubbas, Spike Spitters, Iced Clubbas, Macho Grubba)

Frog (SMRPG level where the Mallow the Cloud Prince thinks he hails from)

Cloudson (SMRPG level, Mallow's race, Cloud peoples)

Marrymore (SMRPG from, well, Marrymore)

Bob-omb (Wario's Battle Canyon, Bob-omb Battlefield)

Gambler (Game Guy, Casino levels, Casino boards in "Mario Party", gambling characters), possibly in Isle Delfino

Mysterylandese ("Mario Party II"), basically some exotic, UFO-driving Bob-ombs that speak in cryptic languages, probably more advanced
Smithite

Kongo (Apes and such, I'm counting them as Mario world characters)

Kremlin ("Donkey Kong" villain)

Merlin (Those Roma/gypsies in "Paper Mario I")

Rogueportian ("Paper Mario II", Rogueport)

Dokidoki ("Super Mario II" was originally called "Doki-Doki Panic") covering Subcon, Wart, Shy Guys, Birdo(es?)

Threeian (The Mushroom World from "Super Mario Brothers III")

Powan (Covering Freezy, Crabs, and the like from the original "Mario Brothers" arcade game)

Sarrassalian ("Super Mario Land I", home of Daisy)



There are more, but I've covered everything I can think of.


I need ideas. I can't code to save my life. If I could, I'd be doing it all myself!

 

[Dr.Livingstone]

The amazement levels on this makes rainbows all over everything. Or are those just the 'shrooms?

 

[NinjaCow64]

If this is actually going to happen (plz yes) then talking about timelines is important. There are two timelines (here and here), unfortunately they are no longer updating. I think that the best start date would be the at the very beginning, at Yoshi's Island (which we could give an arbitrary date like 1000). We could also make important events like Princess Peach's birth coincide around that date. I reckon that Baby Mario/Luigi shouldn't really be given much representation other than event text, same with time traveling Mario & Luigi in Partners in Time (a.k.a the Shroob Invasion) and that adult Mario and Luigi could come via an event a later start date (maybe in 36 years, as that's the age Something Awful puts them at during the games), being in with command of a Mercenary Group as a Vassal to Princess Peach Toadstool. Both the Mercs and the Brother's Stats will be God-Tier.

EDIT: Also Humans should have their own culture.

 

[Lubu343]

I must say that this has to be made. That is all for now.
