The Trains of Super Mario 

If you wanna see me talk about trains in other video games, watch the other episodes in this series here: ru-vid.com/group/PLaNteOr2vXGzUu4b8qHWmfwunh48mf8kU What other games have trains that are worth talking about? Feel free to let me know!

Love that he goes a little into detail about the Dutch trams and trains just for the video

The Railfan toad is honestly the most relatable character in fiction

11:35 railfan toad hits too close to home 💀💀

The huge middle wheel on the 'locomotive' in Paper Mario TTYD reminds me of the old 4-2-4 tank engines on the Bristol & Exeter Railway. Those things had ridiculously large 9ft diameter driving wheels.

Trains can play many roles in any games

This video was fun getting to know how you researched all of what kinds of railroad engines, stations, and rolling stock were featured in the Mario franchise. Excellent work and good research, too.

11:09 You know, I never woulda noticed that if you didn’t mention it. Of course, Tomy is from Japan, like Nintendo, so I can see them possibly having taken inspiration from their couplings for the Sunset Express.

To a non-Australian from a Sydneysider, I can confirm you nailed the pronunciation of "Tangara". Interestingly, despite me being young (20 years old), I actually remember the Tangaras when they had black ends but I can't remember when they started repainting the ends from black to yellow.

I never thought I'd see amtrakguy365 ever mention my beloved tangaras in a video! Has absolutely made my day, thanks! Their representation in mario kart is absolutely adorable too!

As a huge train fanatic and Mario fan, this was a fantastic watch

This is a cool series idea, it's fun to see all these trains in a game I already enjoy and play. The lack of overhead power lines on most of the trains is probably just graphics/performance optimization. Then again it could be a choice like those connectors on the passenger cars.

Trivia: In the Beta of Super Mario Sunshine there was going to be a train system that would take you to the various levels of the game.

Finally. The video we’ve all been waiting for in this series.

The BTS EMU B1 and the SRT NKF (One of THN Variant) look surprisingly extremely accurate to the real one

Hello there, I hope you’re doing well! I’m glad that your “Trains Of” Series is back as I’ve recently realized that this franchise has a surprising number of trains in it. For whatever reason I was re-watching the Hunger Games movies and noticed that there are many trains in them. There’s the high-speed luxury train that Katniss, Peeta, and the other tributes take to the Capitol, as well as some freight train hopper cars taking coal out of District 12. In Mocking Jay part two we see a freight train used by Capitol loyalists in District 2 to evacuate The Nut and a metro train used to transport peacekeepers and armored vehicles underground to defend the Capitol. One thing I’ve noticed in The Hunger Games is the absence of cars, even within the wealthy, high-tech Capitol, most Capitol residents either walk or take the subway. If you talk to any urban planner, they’d tell you that car-centric infrastructure is not the best, and rightly so, as it seems like the Capitol design in the movies follows a pedestrian and transit-oriented urban layout. President Snow may be a despotic tyrant, but he knows the importance of trains as they’re used to extract resources and tributes from the districts, and transport troops and armor to rebellious districts. Another franchise that has a few train cameos in it are the Godzilla movies as even in the original 1954 movie, Godzilla attacks a train, picking it up with his jaws. In the 2014 movie, the female MUTO attacks a freight train, picking up and swallowing the nuclear warheads it is carrying. There are a few scenes throughout the Godzilla movie franchise where Godzilla or other kaiju attack trains, so much so that it’s become a trope for monster movies where there must be at least one time where the monster attacks a train. Thank you for covering trains in media and pop culture as it’s really interesting to see what type of trains are used in our favorite forms of entertainment. Either way, I hope you’re doing well, and for fellow trainspotters, keep spotting those trains in reality and fiction.

This was amazing. I never noticed the comparison between the Amsterdam Drift train and the Thalys. I can see that. Especially with the shape of the cab but I still think it is a recolored DDZ. The DDZ trains have very broad doors. Just like the train in Amsterdam Drift.

Quite an unexpected video, but still very cool, Nice video as always!😊

We finally have it. The trains of the Super Mario Franchise. We want more. Every Super Mario Train and railway infrastructure explained. The trains of Bluey?

This video is so fun and so light and enjoyable while also being incredibly well-researched. Thank you!

1:30 Soo line #1003's 6 Chime Whistle

really happy to see a new episode of one of the most interesting series on your channel

Super Bell Subway's designs being European inspired is very fitting. Especially when you listen closely while in the station, you'll hear announcements in what sounds like German. So the track definitely takes place in Europe.

I'm waiting for "The Trains of Grand Theft Auto", XD

I kinda wished there was a Toronto themed race track with Streetcars and GO Trains featured, as well as Hockey at Scotiabank Arena and baseball the Skydome, I love Toronto

Great work, 4-4-0s are my favorite locomotives. Very cool learning about the chimes too.

Me: Man I have no idea what to watch while I'm eating. AmtrakGuy365 dropping this video. Me: Perfect

This is such a cool and unique video, I love watching stuff like this! :D

so you're tellin me that there is a possibility that there could be a communist revolution in the mushroom kingdom right now as we speak

Such a great video, Was waiting for when this was coming out! Dont know if anyone has pointed this out, 12:00 the trains aesthetics looks to be inspired by the Main Street Electrical parade, or the tokyo equivalent Tokyo Dream Lights train design. Cant wait for more videos!

I’ve been waiting for this moment, and finally, it’s here.

This was absolutely fascinating! While replaying Thousand-Year Door with some friends a few months back I was geeking out over the Excess Express and sharing with them what I though it's inspirations may have been, I cracked up the coupling rods on the leading and trailing wheels to being Powered Boggies like a Fairlie though now that you mention the Heisler design that makes so much more sense! Also, I think I have en explanation for the erroneous inclusion of side rods on the Coaches seen in Kalimari Desert in Tour & 8 Deluxe. While I have no evidence to back this up, I'm fairly certain that the MKTour Developers simple copied & pasted the wheels & their animation from the Engine, shrunk them down and called it a day without deleting the siderods. Since 8 Deluxe (Specifically the booster pass) reuses a lot of Assets from Tour this is probably why this baffling design choice is present in both.

I really love the “The Trains of Games” series and wish for this series to continue for more games like Street Fighter and GTA. Also I personally think that the Steamer locomotive in Mario Party 3 resembles a Los Angeles and San Pedro 30 inch gauge Tender Engine.

Wow, thanks for sharing this, that’s amazing!

The nose on the Excess Express looks more like that of a JNR EF55.

Love these videos, and I'd love a short or something of you talking about Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks.

Love your vids on comparing fictional locomotives to their real life counterparts! Was wondering that you could not only do this series on video games, but maybe other forms of media as well! Obviously, Thomas is too obvious as almost everyone there is based on a real locomotive, but maybe something like the Galaxy Express/Railways anime could be an interesting topic for this series! I've always wondered if the other trains had some form of basis to them, so it'd be nice to have some confirmation on them!

Awesome job on these “Trains Of” videos! I would love to see one covering the trains in Rockstar Games, GTA, Red Dead Redemption ECT.

4:53 Emily from Thomas and Friends

I've been wanting this video for years, let's go

9:50 the train from the Berlin map also looks like the DB Class 488.0 also know as „Panorama-S-Bahn“

Loved the video! Thank you!

Can You Do The Trains Of Grand Theft Auto

3:42 hey look it’s Jackson from the marysville railroad stories or Ben from San Juan Trainz

The Paper Mario Color Splash locomotive actually looks most like a JNR Class 6760. There are quite a lot of details that pretty strongly resemble it, I think this was the main locomotive being referenced for the final design

The Stirling single is one of my favorite locomotives due to their beautiful designs

2:16 when I was a kid play Mario Kart 64 I was pissed that the Railroad signal was inaccurate to our American Railroad signals also little trivial sega made the same mistake in Sonic Shuffle adding the Japanese Railroad signal.

8:16 I was thinking it was a SBB doubledecker because of the colour scheme, but now that you show the VIRM, it makes a little more sense now. It would be more awesome if they had put a ICM(m) instead since its more iconic. Great video btw 👍🏻

I have just learned where that crossing sound in the OpenSFX pack in openttd comes from. thats wild!

Happy to see you mention the 0 series , one of my favourite railway machines due to thier plane like design,

8:18 With the aerodynamic nose the Mario train looks a bit like the MAX train that runs around Portland Oregon.

2:42 Correction on that? It’s Not a 6-Chime. It’s the Nevada Northern #40, but the steps are high pitched.

THANK YOU for mentioning the side rods on the n64 express. I think that’s why 7 has the best design for it. :333

Awesome video! I would’ve liked to have seen some info on the Star Express and Fright Train from Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - they were some of my favourite stages in that game.

2:07 Yeah, I questioned that too. It’s just weird.

5:35 "look at em go" lol

There is something that popped to mind that made me think of Shy guy's Perplex express. Looking at the kitchen, dining car, and passenger cars, I believe that the entire train is based on the 20th century limited ran by the New York Central. PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who thought of that!!

“Great video!” I love trains and super Mario games such as Mario kart, Mario party, Mario sports titles and more. 😁👍

In “Kalamari Desert” (you said this) the coaches have… side rods?? I have no idea why? Literally EVERY cartoon train (except for Thomas And Friends) HAS ROLLING STOCK WITH SIDE RODS Edit: ITS THE EXACT SAME THING 6:09

7:59 you forgot [or you didn't know] that the flying train is based off galaxy railways [kinda] 4-4-0 888 look it up

Ive loved mario for ages and the trains in the are cool nice video :)

Kirby Planet Robobot had trains with cars having side-rods, too.

8:16 I would say the paint scheme, bi-level cars and rounded cab resemble the SBB Twindexx EMUs as well :)

I NEEDED THIS!

Fantastic video!

2:23 Is it just me, or do others find the standard Japanese Crossing Bell sinister sounding? It's probably just because I associate with Evangelion where it's used to create anxiety during introspection scenes

3:34 I’m almost certain that’s a sound from the Warner Bros. sound effects library (I like to believe this whistle made its debut as the large steam locomotive’s whistle in "Porky’s Railroad")

Well thus is a video I didn't know that I needed.

I'm a Japanese railway & mario fan. I'm very glad to see this video which explains about trains in mario series in details!🚂🚃🚄

3:00 R.I.P. luigi 💀

3:18 thw k64 express locomotive looks mor like a freelance well tank

Nice video. I think it's safe to say that the Double Deckers seen in Mario Kart 8 are based on SBB double-deckers. The shape and colour scheme feels very SBB.

11:29 MIDWEST CENTRAL RAILROAD NO 6!!!!! THAT IS MY CHILDHOOD LOCOMOTIVE!!

10:08 Oh yeah I seen the Tangara's they un the same city that I am in Tangaras were Stainless Steel double deckers, Australian made. They were also built to replace the Subway version of the Red Rattler in 1991. still servicing Sydney today

nintendo really doing their homework on all things related to trains and the railroad. Massive props to them

Awesome video! I’d love to see one about GTA’s trains (including the weird British wagons in GTA V)

Also in regards to the metro cars, the corrugated stainless steel car bodies may be inspired from the Stockholm C20 or Bucharest BM2, both built by ADtranz, later Bombardier.

The Mario Party 8 Locomotive actually closely resembles a mix between a Santa Fe #1010 2-6-2 and Southern Pacific #314 4-6-0. I think Nintendo got those 2 final designs for the locomotive.

As Thai guy Im surprise how accurate those things are.

1:41 to 1:49 That whistle was also used for Thomas in an alternate opening storyboard for Thomas & The Magic Railroad.

I love Trains & Mario! They made up my entire childhood.

0:57 for brief second you can hear old Roblox jumping sound you know 😏

This is actually a thing I really wanted, I had no idea this existed.

If only the planned Delfino Express from Mario Sunshine wasn’t cancelled. 😞

I'm liking this video just because I'm happy it exists (I want a model of the Bullet Bill Train so bad!)

Very cool Video! I think the german S-Bahn like train is based on a special one called "Panoramabahn", which means Panoramatrain. (Hence the big Windows in the middle.) Even the Queen used it once! But sadly its now decomissioned.. PS.do you Plan a "trains of GTA" Video? I think this would realy fit this series =)

Every train in Trainz: A New Era

The crossover I personally needed.

May I suggest the Trains of Zelda? There was even a whole Zelda game ABOUT trains!

Interesting stuff. It would make sense that the Paper Mario trains are more toylike, given how the series artstyle is with paper cutouts, and how some of the games even use everyday appliances in weird ways as MacGuffins, like just a realistic pencil or a realistic Grill for some sort of puzzle or purpose in battle.

I love this shy guy's perplex express its my favourite train ever

This is a content I live for

When I hear the word branch lines: Thomas and friends, branchline intensifies.”

Really enjoyed the video. But does the map in super bell subway more reassemble Harry becks design of the London Underground tube map - Which was later adopted worldwide to places such as the NYC subway map? Just a small thing at 7:46

I'm not a big railfan but this series on video game trains is super entertaining.

Excellent video! I was wondering though, will you do the trains of Spirt Tracks/ Zelda games?

He did it! Thanks for my request

My 2 favourite locomotives From Here Is Are shy guy's perplex express and paper Mario color splash

❤ I love it how you found out all trains in Mario worlds

I love these videos
