Give Me Pasta Power as Fast as You Can

The Brave Little Plumber

Koopas Behind the Curtain
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

Y’All Get Hit with the Boom Boom

Robbing Peach to Pay Pauline
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

Grand Unified Marioverse Theory

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
