Intergalactic, Planetary, Planetary, Intergalactic

Posted on December 16, 2021 by Nathan

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 →

Please Plesiosaur Me

Posted on June 25, 2021 by Nathan

In light of my recent post about dragons in the Mario series, which addresses the confusion between those and dinosaurs, I find it interesting that the franchise has two separate creatures based on the Loch Ness Monster. The first one, … Continue reading →

Do the Wrong Thing

Posted on May 15, 2021 by Nathan

I’ve been thinking a bit about morality in video games, partially due to seeing another mention of how the Grand Theft Auto games, and I think some others of the sort as well, let you brutally murder prostitutes and perform … Continue reading →

Do You Want to Kill a Snowman?

Posted on February 17, 2021 by Nathan

I had been wanting to write something about snowman characters in video games, with one that immediately came to mind being Rusty the Snowman in Earthworm Jim, who breathes fireballs. Sounds like he’s as self-destructive as the They Might Be … Continue reading →

Toaderonimo!

Posted on January 9, 2020 by Nathan

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 →

Fearsome Furnishings

Posted on December 5, 2019 by Nathan

Living versions of inanimate objects are common in fiction. The Oz books have a lot of them, although most of them are friendly. There are, however, many animated objects that are deadly, especially in role-playing games. I was recently thinking … Continue reading →

Koopas Behind the Curtain

Posted on November 22, 2018 by Nathan

This article I read this week discusses the idea of Mario and company being essentially actors in different scenarios, as per a comment from Shigeru Miyamoto comparing them to the cast of Popeye cartoons. It obviously addresses Super Mario Bros. … Continue reading →

I Got Bunny Moves

Posted on March 30, 2018 by Nathan

Picture by Ronnie J. Smith Am I the only one who thought it was strange that the first two Mario games released for the Nintendo Switch had rabbit characters playing a prominent role? And not just any rabbits, but ones … Continue reading →

Super Mario Apocrypha

Posted on May 5, 2017 by Nathan

Nintendo kind of seems to be steering away from Mario-related media as of late, as least in North America. I’ve heard that Archie Comics wanted to do a Mario title, but couldn’t get permission. In my younger days, however, there … Continue reading →

Warping Through Continuity

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Nathan

While there is an official Zelda timelime, there still isn’t one for the Mario series, which makes sense as they don’t really focus on story. Fans certainly have tried to come up with one, however, and have made some clever … Continue reading →
