User blog:RevolverOshawott7/Video Concept: Mario Gear Solid

This is an idea that has been floating around my head for a while. As you can probably guess, I am a huge fan of the Metal Gear Solid series, and I was wondering how SMG4 would do a parody of the series. I feel that doing an "If Mario Was In..." video wouldn't be doing the series justice, as there is a lot to cover.

I'll start off by listing all the main characters of Metal Gear Solid 1, and which SMG4 characters would replace them, with a brief explanation for why.

MINOR-ISH SPOILERS BELOW


 * Solid Snake = Mario (Protagonists of their series)
 * Colonel Roy Campbell = SMG4 (Guys who keeps the protagonist on their mission)
 * Doctor Naomi Hunter = Peach (Females with their own agenda who "enhances" the protagonist)
 * Mei Ling = Tari (Cute tech experts that are surprisingly philosophical)
 * "Master Miller" = "Shroomy" (Characters that help the protagonist survive in the wilderness)
 * Meryl = Meggy (Deuteragonists who start with the letter M that are pseudo-partners with the protagonist)
 * Hal "Otacon" Emmerich = Fishy Boopkins (Anime nerds who want to redeem themselves and fight alongside the protagonist)
 * Grey Fox = Either FM or X (Forgotten characters that are still aware of Snake/Mario and want to have a final match with him)
 * Liquid Snake = SMG3 (Main villains of their series)
 * Revolver Ocelot = Desti (Gunslingers who don't fit in with the rest of the villain crew that have Meryl/Meggy as their main target)
 * Vulcan Raven = Bowser (Tough guys who connect with the protagonist beyond "I want to kill you")
 * Psycho Mantis = Bob (Men of mystery that can basically do whatever they want)
 * Sniper Wolf = Saiko (Villains with sex appeal that Otacon/Fishy Boopkins seem to have a thing for)

You might have noticed that Decoy Octopus and The DARPA Chief, aren't there. The reason for this is that I couldn't find anyone that could replace them, and their roles in the story were minor enough to be written out. You might have also noticed that there were no roles assigned for Luigi, Wario, or Waluigi. This is because they would be better off as characters for the next game: Metal Gear Solid 2. Who they would replace would be Raiden, Fatman and Vamp respectively.

Mario replacing Solid Snake is where most of the comedy would come from. Snake is a hardened, down-to-earth soldier. Mario is... not. I can imagine him doing stupid things that still somehow work in infiltration, which is how most of the gags would work. Regarding other characters, Master Miller and Shroomy are in quotations for a damn good reason, but saying why would go into mega-spoiler territory. Putting Desti as Revolver Ocelot would give her more time to shine. Especially after her right arm gets cut off by FM/X, which is a plot point for the next game.
