Where was the capital of the Turtle
Empire in Super Mario Brothers?
| NulShock:
Good question.
I honestly don't think it was mentioned, even
in the TV series. Logic would tell me it'd be
named something like "Koopatopia" or
something, though.

I Heard Mario Brothers 2 origionally wasn't a
mario game. But nintendo got it and replaced the
characters with mario characters. Is this true?
and what was it called before? |

| NulShock:
You would be referring to a Japanese game known as
Dream Factory. Nintendo, for some reason, felt
they needed to take a totally different approach
with Super Mario Bros. 2, for the American
audience. So yes, they purchased the rights to a
Famicon (Japanese NES) game called Dream Factory,
and replaced the characters with Mario and Pals,
as well as altering some of the locales and
enemies. The result was something totally unique,
and while SMB2 doesn't necessarily fit in with the
Look of the Mario series, it definitely was a step
in a fresh direction, selling millions of copies. |

Why isn't megaman in Super smash brothers
melee? is it because he belongs to sony now? |

| NulShock:
Mega Man has always belonged to Capcom LTD, the
makers of some of the best gaming series of all
time, including Street Fighter and Resident Evil.
The reason he wouldn't be in any Smash Brothers
Series, is because he is not a Nintendo-created
character, like Mario, Link, Pikachu, Princess
Toadstool or the like.
There is talk that Sonic the Hedgehog and other
"Outsider" characters will appear in
future Mario Kart, and Smash Bros. games, tho, so
keep wishing.
