A Thousand Troops of Koopas Couldn’t Keep Me from You

Posted on April 15, 2023 by Nathan

The Super Mario Bros. Movie – I kind of wish this had existed back in my teenage years. I mean, I don’t necessarily expect video game movies to be great cinema, but I do want a lot of references to … Continue reading →

It’s a Small Video World After All

Posted on July 8, 2021 by Nathan

One thing you might have noticed about video games that ostensibly show the entire world is that these worlds are really small. That’s not too surprising, especially in earlier games with limited space, but it still raises some questions. The … Continue reading →

Oh Yeah, Mario Time!

Posted on June 18, 2020 by Nathan

I have pondered Mario’s age before, and mentioned how he’s officially supposed to be in his mid-twenties. But then, I grew up with the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, where Captain Lou Albano was playing Mario and Danny Wells Luigi in … Continue reading →

From the Animated Arcade Archive

Posted on June 4, 2020 by Nathan

I’ve already looked at the Saturday Supercade Donkey Kong cartoons, but I wanted to talk a bit about the others as well. They certainly went all out as far as games they covered, with a grand total of seven over … Continue reading →

Ape Bit Theatre

Posted on April 24, 2020 by Nathan

We all know about Captain Lou Albano on the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, and I’ve written about pretty much every episode. I was aware, however, that there had been a cartoon with Mario that I never watched, a Donkey … Continue reading →

Kiss a King

Posted on February 7, 2020 by Nathan

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 →

Robbing Peach to Pay Pauline

Posted on December 15, 2017 by Nathan

Pauline was Mario’s first known love interest and damsel in distress, but he apparently dumped her when he had the chance to date royalty. Really, we don’t know what happened between them, but they seem to still be friends. Originally … Continue reading →

Join the Odyssey and See the World

Posted on November 23, 2017 by Nathan

I haven’t played Super Mario Odyssey, and I’m sure I’d be terrible at it if I did. There’s a reason I mostly stick to turn-based role-playing. I am, however, quite interested in keeping abreast of new Mario developments and how … Continue reading →

Big Apes and the Big Apple

Posted on March 4, 2017 by Nathan

I’ve questioned before whether it’s still canonical that Mario and Luigi are from Brooklyn, as media related to the games frequently stated prior to Yoshi’s Island, and sometimes still do today. That game apparently puts the kibosh on their having … Continue reading →

Blast from the Pasta

Posted on February 25, 2017 by Nathan

I have neither played nor watched anyone else play Yoshi’s New Island, but I know the premise behind it is that the Stork brought Mario and Luigi to the wrong house, and when trying to find the right one he … Continue reading →
