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 →

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 →

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 →

Koopas in the Kosmos

Posted on June 3, 2017 by Nathan

Picture by Nathan Johnson I can’t say I’m that familiar with the Super Mario Galaxy games. I remember watching a friend play the first one, and it looked pretty complicated, even toward the beginning when it was still kind of … 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 →

The Long Toad Home

Posted on March 19, 2017 by Nathan

All the extra stuff on the map screen in Super Mario Bros. 3 was pretty fascinating. There were mini-games, Hammer Bros. that walked around, airships that flew, hands that could grab you as you crossed a bridge, and treasure ships … Continue reading →

The E-Turtle Struggle

Posted on September 16, 2016 by Nathan

Bowser is one of the most famous villains in video games, and a favorite character of mine. Mario and Luigi first face him in the original Super Mario Bros., and they’ve gone on to battle many more times. Here’s a … Continue reading →

Luma Park

Posted on September 18, 2014 by Nathan

I haven’t actually played Super Mario Galaxy, and when I saw Tavie play a little bit of it, it looked complicated. I guess it’s just that I’m old-fashioned, and used to seeing Mario in only two dimensions. Nevertheless, I can’t … Continue reading →

Plumber vs. Plant

Posted on October 23, 2013 by Nathan

Picture by Ribera The fact that there are plants that eat animals has certainly captured the popular imagination, including the world of video games. Many games contain carnivorous plants, but the most famous are almost certainly the Piranha Plants from … Continue reading →

Fungal Footmen and Mushroom Minions

Posted on March 13, 2013 by Nathan

Since we just looked at Ozma’s castle staff, how about that of the Mushroom Kingdom? Well, the most famous member of that royal household is Toad. He and the other Toads you rescue in the original Super Mario Bros. are … Continue reading →
