So I Says to Mabon, I Says

Posted on September 25, 2021 by Nathan

This past Wednesday was the Autumnal Equinox, so I guess you should keep an eye out for pumpkin Piranha Plants and Koopas in Mario masks. I believe I was first aware of the season change in Super Mario World from … Continue reading →

Wiggler Wednesday

Posted on August 26, 2021 by Nathan

I’ve discussed many enemies from the Super Mario franchise over the years, but I don’t think I’ve said that much about Wigglers, the giant caterpillars introduced in Super Mario World. Their thing is basically that they’re normally cute, yellow, and … Continue reading →

Douse the Bowser

Posted on March 25, 2020 by Nathan

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 →

The King Is a Drip!

Posted on March 11, 2020 by Nathan

It’s March 10, which means that it’s Mario (MAR10) Day, at least in this country. I guess elsewhere it’s Iomar Day. I write a lot about the Mario universe anyway, of course. I’m really not that good at the games, … Continue reading →

Sticker Fun

Posted on February 22, 2020 by Nathan

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

When the Plumbing Gets Tough, the Tough Get Plumbing

Posted on February 6, 2020 by Nathan

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 →
