Intergalactic, Planetary, Planetary, Intergalactic

Next on my list of video games I haven’t played but watched playthroughs of to see what went on in them, it’s the Super Mario Galaxy games. They definitely look good, like how the Lumas resemble cuddly stuffed animals. Mario in … Continue reading

Everyone’s Your Friend in Mushroom City

I watched a playthrough of part of Mario Party Advance for research purposes. It sounds silly saying that, even if it’s technically true; it’s not like I’m writing a scholarly study on Mario. But I was interested in what it added … Continue reading

Not Dying Today

Someone proposed on a Facebook post that you don’t actually kill the monsters in the Dragon Quest series. I don’t think I can link to it, since it’s on a private group. It generally seems like you are killing them, … Continue reading

Douse the Bowser

I might as well finish up my write-ups on the Super Mario Bros. stories from Valiant Comics, and by that I mean the ones I could find scanned. I don’t think I’ve ever seen “Elect Mario for Man of the … Continue reading

Sticker Fun

I finished Paper Mario: Sticker Star last weekend, and I’m only just writing about it now. It’s fairly slight, especially for a role-playing game, but still pretty fun. I wrote earlier about how you can only make moves by using … Continue reading

Kiss a King

I’ve looked at a few of the Mario stories from the Nintendo Comics System, and I thought I might as well throw a few more reviews into the mix. While my previous reviews were just of stories I’d read recently, … Continue reading

When the Plumbing Gets Tough, the Tough Get Plumbing

Here are sore Super Mario Bros. Super Show reviews, and I have to say this set of episodes was largely lackluster even for this show, although there’s one pretty significant episode in the mix. Quest for Pizza – Mario and … Continue reading

Too Pooped to Koop

Mamma mia! It’s a Super Mario Bros. cartoon! Several of them, in fact. The Mark of Zero – Our first parody for the week is of Zorro. I can’t say I know that much about the character, but I did … Continue reading

Nothing More Than Feelings

I’ve been playing Super Princess Peach recently. I’d heard it was easy, but as much as I love video games, I’m not that great at them. It is generally forgiving compared to traditional Mario games. You have a life bar … Continue reading

Toaderonimo!

I’ve been posting a lot of these episode reviews recently, but I’ve at least tried to break them up somewhat so this blog isn’t All Super Show All the Time. I was wondering before why the order of the episodes … Continue reading
