Playing Super Mario Bros. 3 for the first time was a religious experience for most of us. Just when we thought we had seen all of the cool new bad guys, a new one would appear and leave us scratching our heads on how to beat them. The Angry Sun, found in the second world [...]

Bob-Omb Blows Everyone Else Away

When you first start to play the Mario games, you can be a bit scared of what you may run into next. You have bricks falling from the ceiling, ghosts chasing you and little walking bombs blowing up next to you. It is those walking bombs, known as Bob-Ombs, that I always found hilarious and [...]

All the Kongs Rock!

I don’t really remember playing the first Mario game, or, rather, the first Donkey Kong game. I was really young when it came out. I do remember, however, growing older and then learning all about Kong and how great he is. I remember growing older and experiencing the Kongs on different other Nintendo games, which [...]

Same Controls With Super Mario Galaxy 2 Wii?

21. August 2009

When the Wii came out I was actually pretty skeptical. It seemed like everything they were saying about it, how it could sense the motion that you used with your hands as long as you were holding on the controller, were things that couldn’t possibly be real. I had even convinced myself not to buy [...]

Less Waiting Time for New Games Please!

I’m a bit mad at the Nintendo people right now. It seems like they haven’t been able to keep up with the demand for any of their products lately. When the Wii first came out you either had to have serious connections, or had to kill someone, in order to get one. Then the Wii [...]

Will Graphics Be As Cool In New Super Mario Games?

15. August 2009

I remember when the original Mario games came out – they were kind of a letdown. Most of us knew that there were great graphics out there, we’d seen them with SEGA, but we didn’t get those graphics with Nintendo. Slowly, but surely, Nintendo graphics got better, but not before they had a huge struggle [...]

How Long Will It Be?

If you love video games, you love any Mario game that has been created. Okay, not any Mario game because, let’s face it, Sunshine was kind of a let down. But almost everyone who loves video games has got to love, or at least respect, Mario games. Mario is the ultimate in characters to play. [...]

Just Mario Again In Super Mario Galaxy 2 Game?

The last time I played Mario, he was saving the Galaxy. And now we hear that he’s going to be back in a Super Mario Galaxy 2 game? Great! There’s just one problem – why do we have to play just Mario? I love Mario, don’t get me wrong, but I really love the other [...]

Booster Bounds Past the Competition

The reason why Super Mario RPG still stands as one of the most memorable games in the history of the world is because it had a wonderful sense of humour that just couldn’t be topped. The characters were hilarious and often said the funniest things at the strangest times. In the case of Booster, one [...]

Mario, Bees, and Ghosts? Oh, My!

When the new Mario game came out for the Wii I was ecstatic. I mean, I liked playing Mario soccer and stuff like that, but I was looking for a real Mario game – one where you got to be Mario and go through adventures and stuff. Then the Galaxy game came out and it [...]
