Fuck the lore. You're trying to say that any game that uses elements of the Mario Universe are Mario games. NO! Hotel Mario isn't a real Mario game. Dr Mario isn't a real Mario game. 3D Mario is NOT, i repeat IS NOT, REAL Mario in the 3rd dimension. Just as checkers/draughts with a 3rd dimension wouldn't be real checkers. 2D checkers would be closer to chess (another 2d game) than 3d checkers.

When you go 3d, you break the game. Space football will break football when players are flying around with jetpacks, it'll be Quidditch. Quidditch and football aren't the same game. Quidditch isn't REAL football. The 2D version of 64 or Galaxy would resemble something more like a mix of Limbo (not a platformer) and Little Big Planet. It isn't checkers anymore even if the pieces are black and white.

I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise for any derailing or trollish or offensive remarks that may have been made in this thread. I take full responsibility and in future I'll ask Khuutra not to contribute to my threads.


Isn't checkers usually black and red

No doubt you Americans decided to change that game too.


You've made kind of a weak analogy. 3D chess is an actual game that's existed for over a century, and it's still tactically similar to 2D Chess, just with another layer of complexity to move possibilities. It's not an entirely different game, and it still uses more or less the same skill set.

Granted I don't know that anyone has ever tried to add another dimension to checkers
