I myself am a man of few words. I don’t like talking unless there’s a reason for it, and I also happen to believe that it’s better to let your actions speak for you. That’s probably why I really enjoy Link. I can’t think of one time that we’ve ever heard Link speak – everyone [...]

I’ve been a Mario fan for a very long time, and remember playing the older Mario games when my children were little. When the first Galaxy game came out I was actually a bit concerned! I don’t play our Wii that often and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to control Mario the [...]

It isn’t every day that you favourite video game hero is forced to fight a living, breathing and incredibly powerful wedding cake, but that is exactly what Mario has to do in the hit game Super Mario RPG.

One of the neatest things about the Mario series of games is that the designers made it very clear who their influences were. The same studio that came up with Super Mario RPG was also in charge of creating the Final Fantasy series, and the two clearly crossed over with the appearance of Culex. Although [...]

It is difficult these days to imagine a video game world before the likes of Super Mario Bros. 3. This was the game featured in the hit film The Wizard and the one that really showed what the 8-bit Nintendo could do. It was also the game that gave us the Koopa Kids, the offspring [...]

There are very few video game characters that are truly immortal. Throughout most of the Super Mario Bros. 3 game, Dry Bones is one character that Mario just can’t seem to shake. Fireballs, a perfectly timed jump and other forms of offence just bounce off of him. The only weakness poor Dry Bones falls for [...]

Often times, Mario will get a glimpse of a character that you are destined to fight at the beginning of the game, even if your date with destiny isn’t until the end. In the case of Exor, his ugly mug graces the cover of Super Mario RPG, and you have a very early encounter with [...]

Some people think it is a bit strange that I have picked a one-of character as my favourite in all of the Mario games. The Axem Rangers only appeared once, in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. They were towards the end and one of the toughest bosses you fight in the whole [...]
